About Me

highly illogical. *********************************************************** i am from skamania, then vancouver, wa. now i live in portland. I play in two totally awesome band called Psychic Friends Network and New Century Schoolbook. Occasionally I write for a blog called crappy indie music with the lovely ste. goldie and friends. i love my friends. usually i am pretty happy. i have very poor depth perception, and apparently i possess a mutated MC1R protein . i like playing music. I type faster than almost anyone.

..t-->My score on../t--> The What is Your Spirit Animal Test :

The Bat
(Here's your results! Your spirit animal has a Nobility ranking of 9 out of 18.)


Your spirit animal is the bat. They are remakable creatures that guide themselves through the night using sonar. They are a fairly common spirit animal, but are neither exceptional nor despisable in regards to nobility. Being nocturnal, they have not really "seen the light", and there is much they are still unaware of, but they have their own special way of navigating the world, which though unconventional, works just fine.
