CURRENT MISSION

To be the sort of human being who knows exactly what to say here.

ABOUT ME

I'm a bartender in L.A., just got my AA degree, and am currently working on my BA degree in English. I love to write, paint, play guitar, read good books, and learn new and interesting things. I taught English in Prague for a year '07-'08, and before that I was a massage therapist.

I really enjoy meeting people with different lifestyles and ideas than my own, which is why I'm here! I also enjoy people just like me, so don't feel singled out if you fit into that category, haha. ok, bye. :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. -Dalai Lama
