About Me

I am a metamorphosis in progress (Kafka-esque,but much more.) I love finding new interests with cool people. Struggling to become an author, teacher, journalist, librarian (hey, pays the bills), and an historian. Love school and cool retro college towns. Dig witty, clever, earhty girls who dont think earthy means dirty and smelly. Like to watch sports but rather play 'em. In love with museums and art galleries and practical jokes. Avid concert attendee. Coffee shop haunting culture vulture. I'll write you a poem for $.25

I'd like to meet:

people who just wanna go get a cup of good joe and shoot the breeze; who seek enlightenment; who were born to rage against the machine ; who are friends/advocates of the environment (and use products safe for it); who are interested in indie cinema, underground rock, long walks in nature, camping, hiking, biking, music, poetry, theatre, art, and adventure on the high seas (pirated the last one from W of D) but a love for sailing forced me. WOMEN who do not think nice guys are a rarity. blokes cool enough to become mates. bibliophiles. fans of indie culture; and people who know that being a hippie is a state of mind, not a fashion choice.
