About Me

I never was any good at writing this. If you know me, you can probably fill this in better than I can. If you don't, you still probably can. I'm older than college kids, younger than professionals--I'm trying to figure out what I want to squeeze out of life. I think mostly, I'd like to continually seek peace, feel rewarded with pleasure and navigate openly between the two.

My Interests

pianos and people who can play them like warcraft.love and Deity come in tied at a close second.

I'd like to meet:

Books:

i'm trying audiobooks right now, the whole reading thing is a little difficult for me. Typically, I'm too impatient to sit and read. But I'm reading in the bathtub now, Glen Duncan, it's a start--I'm trying to excersize new relaxation methods. Reading always felt like a chore. But if i had to list a few faves, Sallinger (years after reading him, I hated him while I was reading it), Plath and cummings are my favorite poets, and I was in love with c.s. lewis when i was a kid--the Magician's Nephew was my favorite. My all-time favorite story is "The Juniper Tree."

Heroes:

Thomas Jefferson (Eat that Mr. Brady)
