About Me

I'm a photographer and artist. I say this now as a better way of saying I work at a hostel and for a brief period of time made pancakes in exchange for rent. I actually do things like rocking my face off on the guitar, traveling, painting, riding, taking photos, sitting around in coffee shops, making snow angels and going on road trips-- I swear, I just don't talk about liking them. I am very passionate about High Fives. I carry my camera everywhere. I like run on sentences. I can be a bigtime sarcastic jerk, but only if i like you. I slept in a park in Germany during Oktoberfest, and I think I'm a better person now. I miss my beautiful family and friends. I dance to embarrassing music, love Wayne's World too much, eat PB and Carrots TOGETHER, and can't sleep unless I rub my feet together an even number of times. I'm also looking into becoming a pirate and/or ninja. I really enjoy brushing my teeth. I receive a lot of joy out of fibbing to the young children that I teach. I get excited over ridiculously simple things. And for the record, I liked Pirates, Comedy Clubs, Science and Playing Shitty Music On My Guitar BEFORE it was cool. I live in Melbourne, and it's possibly stolen my heart.

My Interests

Eating mangoes. Guys with beards. Cryogenic freezing. Taking blurry photos. Telling pointless stories about my youth. Writing really bad songs on the guitar. Moments doing nothing with good friends. Driving in cars. Sharing meals. My girlfriends. Pretending to be hip. Making out. McFlurrys. High fiving. Beating you at playing Clue. A good bra. Making T-shirts. Making burned CD covers. Pirates. Cut and paste. Mix tapes. Metal bands. Painting. Winter scarves. Photography. Spies. Swimming. Smelting. Shredding. Slam poetry. Spooning. Alliteration. Blanket Forts. Wearing dresses over jeans. Balancing chakras.

I'd like to meet:

people who aren't afraid to take a chance because the opportunity is there, drink lots of tea, won't be scared off when i'm a sarcastic douchebag, and have ideas so cool and independent they rock my head right off. and, if you live on anywhere remotely in australia, i will probably be friends with you.
