About Me

College student at Simon's Rock College of Bard in Great Barrington, by way of Sacramento California and then onwards to whatever.I'm into non-fiction writing, journalism, and drawing very weird cartoons. I'm a gourmet food freak and enjoy locating, reviewing, and over-indulging at the best local places wherever I go. I'm a gym-rat and spend at least an hour and a half a-day running in place on a machine then lifting heavy things and putting them down again. I do not know why this makes me happy.I love being outside and engaging in various kind of outdoor recreation, which is sort of hard with Massachusett's openly hateful weather. Needless to say, my ass is returning to California for good as soon as humanly possible.I love to travel and aspire to be an international journalist of one form or another, with an emphasis on Asia. I'm traveling to China this summer and am inordinately excited to go.My weekends are spent (generally) engaging in random acts of silliness and hitchhiking into town to get some real food.I fully admit that I can be kind of a brusque asshole. POR QUOI! POR QUOI!

arsed

I've really checked out socially lately, in and out of school. I have entered the "fuck it" stage of my social life. Which is fine, to be honest. I feel like I have less responsibility. Not to say...

I'm back from camp, yay yay yay. Or not. Living in the woods is better, I think. I prefer chopping wood and starting fires to air conditioning. (she's gone crazy like a fox.)
