About Me



i don't know where i'm going and i usually can't remember where i've been. a half full back pack stays in my closet - either in order to always be ready to go... or because i always seem to be too lazy to unpack it fully when i return. i can keep a lighter longer than any smoker i know. i'm amazed that reading rainbow is still on the air, and i rock out every time i hear that song play. thank you pbs for all that you do. playing in dirt makes me feel more like myself. i can't stand the way jellybeans stick to my teeth. a pencil lead lives in my elbow. it annoys me that my phone automatically uses proper capitalization in my text messages. i'm terrified of bees.

My Interests

the future, railroads, making lists on tiny notepads, big notepads do ok too.. just leave a lot of expectation , wheelbarrow rides, hot tea, my siblings' children, sudoku & crossword puzzles, wearing uniforms, pro football, college basketball, tennis, minesweeper, playgrounds, any kind of wax, power tools, voided checks, magritte, scarves & boots, clean sheets, that oily film on the surface of decent coffee, lintels and capers, printmaking, looking very much younger than i am... which leads into.. getting carded, dry erase boards, playing catch, crab legs, unpasteurized cheese, the word organic, the idea of organic, rollercoasters, using too much tape, wearing shoes that my friends hate, walking until i can't feel my legs anymore, teeter totters, starting my own camp someday, finding people to help, merry go rounds, throwing things, talking about "old times" like i'm old enough to do that, finding treasures on the side of the road, onomatopoeias
