Goes Good With Jell-O

About Me

i believe in human ecology, and i believe that people really can save the world. i believe in little pockets of family, and can't wait to find the rest of mine. i wander a bit; travel. i think alot and im a good time to get drunk. i like avocados and radishes. i like serious conversations and nonsequitur absurdity. one time I traded a bicycle for a tom robbins book. i think your armpits smell nice.
