About Me

"What can you say about loneliness except that it sucks? Most of the time I'm okay, but every once in a while I wake up in the morning and I'm so lonely I can't stand it."Maybe physical intimacy isn't always about touching. Maybe it's also about being able to sit next to someone at dinner and not care if they take something off your plate or reach across you for the salt. Maybe it's about being able to sprawl out on the floor and read a book in the same room with someone who's grading papers and muttering about incompetent boobs who couldn't write a good paper if their lives depended on it.' Maybe it's about sharing the same space with another person and not going crazy because you can't get away from them."That's it, I guess: true intimacy is really just the run of the mill, day to day stuff that happens without thinking - thousands of simple, meaningless, comfortable ways you can be close to someone, never dreaming how bad you'll feel when you wake up one morning with it all gone."

My Interests

Camping, baseball (spectator..GO YANKEES), movies, broadway plays, listening to music (recently have taken up the guitar...ask me to play something in six months).
