CURRENT MISSION

To spread Morton's List

ABOUT ME

Just coming off being unemployed for a spell. Before that I was working for an evil corporation called Teleperformance. NEVER work there.
What can I say about myself? I'm pretty terrible at this sort of thing.
I'm 31. Single. No kids, but one cat that's quite a handful. I haven't done much traveling lately, but I'd like ot do more now that I have a job that's only 4 days a week.

PHILOSOPHY

More. Fun. Today.
You only get one chance at life so you should spend your time making people laugh and smile and enjoying yourself. That smile part means helping people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Haven't just yet. Got turned on to the idea by a friend and thought it sounded interesting and fun.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This past summer (August 2007), I crashed at a friend of a friend's place to go to a convention. MUCH cooler than paying hundreds of dollars for a hotel room. The people I met were pretty fun even though I didn't see much of them.
I've also hung out with GarmentLady and Nathan Andren both of whom are too awesome for mere words to describe.

Interests

Morton's List... yeah, I'd be surprised if you'd heard of it... it's truly an awesome game.
Other gaming. G
oing to live shows and theater.

Jogging & working out... though I need to do more.

Fun things to do in my hometown like gallery hop, Comfest, Via Colori and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seven of my buddies randomly tricked a convention full of nerds that we were rock stars. We had people following us around and asking for autographs. Ask me about it and I'll tell you the whole story.
Other amazing things...
Visited Stone Henge(sp?)...
When I was a kid, my folks took me to Disney World and a guy dressed like Merlin the Wizard grabbed me out of a crowd of people at random and let me pull a big sword out of a stone. It was epic...
I fell in love...

Teach, Learn, Share

"I'm bored. What do you want to do."
"I don't know. What do YOU want to do?"
"I don't know. What IS there to do?"

I have the answer to this situation.
