About Me

Likes: people who use punctuation correctly, articulate arguments, that warm, static-y acoustic guitar sound, strong coffee, strong bourbon, fall jackets, sarcasm, country harmonies, my girl.

Dislikes: horsefly bites, pudding skin, running out of coffee cream, lazy spelling, feeling too hot on the metro, shuffle settings that always repeat the same tracks even though there are many to choose from, the way sesame seeds get EVERYWHERE.

My Interests

Dabbling. Books about writers. Being convinced otherwise. Old songs.

Lakes, canoes, trees, fish, and rocks. Smelling like campfire. Not leaving a trace.

Carpentry. Though I rarely get around to things so it's more of a theory. I also like theory, but only on complicated days.

I'd like to meet:

My Cherokee great grandfather, whose only words of wisdom to my dad were "If you blink, you're fucked."

Television:

All TV sucks. There is honestly not a single well-written television show right now, though I can at least stomach the following: House, Six Feet Under, Jeopardy.

Books:

To tell you the truth I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to. The last book I read was The Catcher in the Rye; you probably read it in high school, right? Read it again as an adult. Trust me.

Heroes:

My banjo.
