About Me

i live in the city but i spend much of my time trying to pretend that i don't. i like it here but i wasn't really designed for all the concrete. plus i get lost easily. i'm very good at starting things and not finishing them. i'm working on that. i always seem to have far more questions than answers but i believe in absolute truth. i'm not a very gifted photographer but these days i'm most happy with my camera in hand.

My Interests

enjoying the general splendor. i love everything about language. even though i don't talk that much. lately i've been flower gardening and photographing. and i'm always bikin' around.

I'd like to meet:

Music:

oh yes. pretty much most of the time. a good live show? i'm there. oh, and i especially enjoy music that makes me feel tucked in.

Movies:

mhm. most recently everything is illuminated and about love.

Television:

i used to pretend that i wasn't a t.v. watcher but that was all a lie. i just wanted to be too cool. the truth is, it feels good to disapear into t.v. sometimes. i like the shows everybody likes. the office (both of them), lost, scrubs, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA!!, and maybe the occasional episode of america's next top model. shut up.

Books:

i'm currently reading the francis shaeffer trilogy. mhm
