About Me

"I'm fresh, you know. Like a peach. Right? I mean, I'm so fresh, I can't even tell... maybe I'm still hanging on a tree."

My Interests

I am a big fan of the mid-day nap. Also coffee and pie, movies and documentaries, reading and writing, politics, social action, travel, and adventure!

I'd like to meet:

Spoon benders, shape shifters and time travelers.

Music:

The Be Good Tanyas... and some other stuff.

Television:

I'll watch almost anything except sports. I don't do sports, unless you count fast-pitch softball (I dig the knee socks) and Girls Roller Derby. In truth, I am a sad junkie... hooked on the sweet flashing box. I'm easily distracted by shiny objects, but I'm working on it.
