About Me

I play music and make bad jokes that no one laughs at but me. Sometimes my brain does things without telling me.

My Interests

Band, drumline, dancing, piano, animals, outdoorsy stuff (hiking, canoeing, biking...), reading, flying, laughing, undermining the establishment, water, spelunking, happy little trees, cars, archery, anything that makes noise, the environment, shiny objects, and mountains. I am once again floating on the waves of insanity without my waterwings.

I'd like to meet:

"I'm just a drunken, vice-ridden gnome who's only friends are pimps and girls from the brothels."

Books:

I love to read. The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is my favorite book; actually the whole series is pretty stupendous. After that I enjoy reading anything that means something and many things that don't.

Heroes:

Sven Lederhosen the xylophone harness, Flogging Molly, and Captain Planet!

The Answer

Everone wonders where they go and where they come from, like The Perfectly Normal Beasts, it is a mystery. Does it have something to do with Elvis? Perhaps. Scientists have long pondered the nature of...

Five words that are used too often:

1. "Hella": agree with me, you know you do. 2. "Rzr" or "crzy": basically any words with the vowels left out, when exactly did this society become anti-vowel? I blame the robots. 3. "Lisp": this word ...
