ABOUT ME

i've never been one to tell.

PHILOSOPHY

I am always caught between two points, one of which is always a metaphor of the other. But that's not quite correct. I am two points caught in different spots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

boys from montreal/quebec city blew my mind for 9 infinite days and i intend to return to conquer again.

formerly: a fair amount of couchsurfing at friends houses but never for an extended period of time
currently: good pals and new pals accepted!

Interests

watching foreign films, reading contemporary fiction and art history, writing until my fingers bleed, mischief making in the park(ing lot dumpster), dancing barefoot on gravel, taking road trips to cities with names that serve as adjectives and sentiments, humping and being humped, watching my friends try to booty dance at hardcore shows, wearing lipliner, blinking and grinning in mirrors are some of my favorite things to do when the robots aren't watching. goddamnit, i need to figure out how to brush my teeth though. any thoughts, anyone?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

was kidnapped in montreal/quebec city by a gang of bukkake-loving boys (thankfully and lovingly was treated like a princess), haggling with hipsters in thailand, swimming in florida spring water, eating balsalmic vinegar infused peaches, learning a new language, cliff-diving into what was once limestone quarries, realizing that almost everything is within your grasp and that summer is never long enough.
