CURRENT MISSION

life, liberty and the pursuit of rainbow sprinkles

ABOUT ME

I watch football (soccer) matches avidly and listen to rock bands with bagpipes. i like pirate-ninja romances and words with double-o's. i like swords and foxes and raspberry sorbet with buckets of sprinkles. i like talking about books and hearing other peoples' tattoo stories and looking up pictures of dinosaurs in public libraries. i have a bar-tending license and can make a damn good cappuccino even if i'm not earning minimum wage as a barista anymore.
I run with the hash house harriers and fence with an epee and drink with pirates.

PHILOSOPHY

i have a pet basil plant named Igor

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had almost thirty people stay in my apartment in 6 months. That's insane. Also really fun. So I figured I should actually do this officially, and I logged into couchsurfing.
