A family is a group of people who all miss the same imaginary place.

About Me

I'm mostly an open book, smell decent, like to read, and probably think you're alright even though you don't think I do. I'm always down for a roadtrip, a concert, or a good talk over Denny's in the wee hours of the morning. I love travelling and would love to spend my life as a professional student and glomad. I'm in love with Canada, Minnesota, Norway, and anywhere else known for being stark, cold, and desolate. If there are more days with weather than without and more trees than people, I'm happy. If a good show is playing in one of those places, I'm even happier. Let it also be known that I'm actually a robot. But I still produce saliva for my specialized robot functions. I work on commission (but hopefully not for much longer), which perpetually illuminates the fact that I am a much nicer, judicious, and more decent human being than I think.

My Interests

Concerts, New Mexican food, kicking ass, cooking, Canucks, sports, reading, sleeping, roadtrips, minerology, telling great stories over good beer

ESPN, CNN, Good Eats, Muppet Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Home Movies, Futurama

Books:

Dostoyevsky, Steinback, Chuck Palahniuk, Nick Hornby, Ayn Rand. As long as it isn't Fantasy or Sci-Fi and one of those authors that pounds out books with the same mindless enthusiasm and frequency of rubbing one out (i.e. Dean Koontz, Anne Rice), then I probably would enjoy reading it. So give me some recommendations if you like.

Heroes:

Last year I pulled an allnighter for no good reason and around 7am ended up in the Cowden computer lab with a girl who'd been there all night finishing a paper that her graduation relied on. She left for breakfast for a bit and came back obviously buzzed from some restaurant that apparantly gives you more food than you could ever eat for $4 and serves beer in the morning. She then finished her paper. She is my hero.

I know what I'm feeling, but what am I thinking?

Yes, I realize I've paraphrased a country song here.  I'll get it over it, will you? My sister wrote this, and it hurts because she hit the nail on the head with me, though I know it wasn't for m...
