ABOUT ME

Matt and Carin, longtime partners, share this account. Matt says:

I am 26 year-old vegetarian. I was a volunteer teacher/tutor in bloomington, IN, now i live in New Orleans where i work in the French Quarter. Heavily into politics, comics, literature, and cartoons. Musical taste ranges from zydeco to epic fantasy metal to punk.

Carin says:

I'm a 28 year old vegetarian. (Matt's older than he says! I'm not robbing any cradles, I swear!) Living in New Orleans which is neither Big nor Easy but does make for some interesting evenings. I studied English (so I could try to understand the world a little better) and economics (so I could try to understand how to destroy the world a little better). Am currently on a cross-(half)-country bike trip with my dear friend Rico. There's a picture of him posted as well. Love books, coffee, ridiculously difficult french philosophy, and board games.
