my fighting fame is fabled

About Me



Southern. Queer. Photographer. bike rider. ice cream-, summer-, spring-, beach-, and food-lover. more boy than girl, though a little of both. or maybe neither.

i am super excited about the green leaves and grass, warm weather, summer smells, fried beach foods, my new bike, long-ass bike rides in the country, and visitin the ATL in a month (yeah fish tacos and ria's!)!

also, i make a mean biscuit, baby. and by mean, i mean good.

My Interests

riding bikes. ice cream. music. kickball. making out. ambiguity. photography. crushes. light. the internet. coffee. my birthday! cooking/baking for my friends. becoming un-shy. pretending like i'm not a bad dancer and dancing anyways. symmetry and repeating patterns. architecture and architectural photography. sore muscles and bruises. themed parties. dressing up all in one color. getting to know people. that moment right before you fall asleep. summertime thunderstorms back home. newly fallen snow and the crunchy noise it makes. getting all nerdy about things that interest me. arm wrestling competitions. Monday Night Beers. baby pandas. not leaving JP unless i have to. visiting places far from home. being very tactile. soft skin and fabric. staring out my bedroom window at the blue sky and my neighbor's gigantic conifer tree. girls that could totally kick my ass. anticipating summer and warm weather.
