About Me

Er...I've had writer's block for the last fifteen years, so instead I'm a stylist and costumer. I secretly dream of living on a farm in Vermont, where I was born, making artisenal cheeses and having a vegetable garden, listening to frogs trill in a nearby pond, and writing the Great American Novel.

My Interests

Vast. Roaring fires, juicy steaks, old buildings, moss, storms, mechanical bulls, sippin', the great outdoors, beaches, animals, traveling, reading, writing, cooking, uni, galleries, pool-hopping, Fuzzy Lumpkins-Miles-Payne, stargazing in fields, air hockey, shuffleboard, tennis, fur, bones, empty woods, hearts of palm, tellers of tall tales, trouble.
