About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grieving my unborn child, Space.

ABOUT ME

I am another one of you just trying to find my way through the human condition.

PHILOSOPHY

"When I started writing
I was a sick teenaged
fuck inside who partly
thought I was the new
Marquis de Sade, a body
doomed to communicate
with Satan who was us-
ing my sickness as his
home away from home,
and there’s your proof."

None other than the great -Dennis Cooper-
I'm a parasite for filth. Give me the most grotesque of literature and I will find use for it. Lately the race has been dedicated to finding the grossest, most vile vermin in the form of comics/books/or movies. I'm not a creep, but if you find yourself interested or intrigued by Marquis De Sade-like topics, I'm your ally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I studied abroad in Germany some years ago. Looking to surf the couches of some groovy people over the course of the next few months.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Give me one!

Interests

я очень люблю слушать музыку!
I have a long, varied list of interests. I love reading comic books and manga more than anything. I'm a magnet to fantasy, science fiction, and obscure literature. I love, love, love (like everyone else) the Harry Potter series. I really love reading altogether. I love music, movies/tv shows/animation/claymation, video games, and trading cards. I think those are the major ones for me. I find them to be uplifting and stimulating on the imagination.

Physical activities: Road biking! I've got a Cannondale Synapse, black and white, with pretty decent parts! If anyone wants to get together for a ride, I'll be more than up for one! Long distance rides are a must.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Megan. <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll let Sartre take it from here.
"In order to get any truth about myself, I must have contact with another person. The other is indispensable to my own existence, as well as to my knowledge about myself. This being so, in discovering my inner being I discover the other person at the same time, like a freedom placed in front of me which thinks and wills only for or against me. Hence, let us at once announce the discovery of a world in which we shall call intersubjectivity; this is the world in which man decides what he is and what others are."
