About Me

I do me things.
Sometimes I'm here, sometimes I look like I'm here but I'm really not, and sometimes (and this is the big secret)...
I'm not here at all.
I am constantly looking at everything from two seemingly contradictory directions, always trying to find the middle ground. It is my favorite thing about myself and the thing I hate the most. Of course. I blame the Moon. Thanks, Moon!

You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.
Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick What American City Are You?
You Are Midnight
You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends. What Time Of Day Are You?

My Interests

I live to learn.
I love theology and loathe religion.
I like to be either fully awake or fully asleep.

I write constantly--possibly too much, since I no longer seem able to express myself when speaking.... I believe in the power of language, and hate how often it fails me completely.

I'm also in favor of making my own hours, problem-solving, teaching, encouragement, black coffee, Cash (my cat), wandering around Austin finding strange things to photograph, drawing, dimension-hopping, roots, and inspiration.

I'd like to meet:

Complimentary vibrations.
Oh, yeah, and this cat.
