"I am a deeply superficial person." -Andy Worhol

About Me

I enjoy drinking tea pretty much all day. My TV is never on, but there is always music in my apartment. Autumn is my favorite time of year. My apartment is slowly being converted into an art studio. I am a failed musician, but a promising noise maker. I'm happiest when I'm creating and I always have several projects I'm working on. Three cats share my living space. People fascinate me and I love meeting new people. Conversation is definitely my worst addiction, but I refuse to give up all night conversations and gossip. Within the last several years I have become involved with film-making and have worked on six short films and a feature film. Someday I hope to get paid for my work.

Seattle has been my home since 2001, having moved here from Las Vegas. I simply adore Seattle and the niche I have found for myself.

My Interests

Hey everyone,
I'm participating in the Beat the Bridge fund raising walk for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation on May 20th. I could use all of your support to raise money for this cause and to support me as I walk. I don't think there is a minimum to donate, so even $5 would help.
Here is their main website link: http://www.beatthebridge.org
Here is a link to donate for me: Donate for Squerk
My goal is $100 but if I do better than that would be great.
Thanks everybody,
Squerk

I'd like to meet:

For those who would like to become part of that niche, feel free to message me. I won't add people I haven't met in person or had a decent amount of conversation with. You don't have to be anything other than a decent person to hang out with me. Everything else is superficial and we can work around it. Chances are we have at least something in common.I would also like to meet more people who are creative and doing things in their lives. I absolutely love working on projects or having art/craft nights.
