CURRENT MISSION

Aquire experiences, become progressively cooler and try not to be a bastard to myself or others.

ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Ion! I used to have a different name but nobody could pronounce it and this one is way more sci-fi so whatever. I live in Oakland California in a space station warehouse. Was studying to be an astro-biologist but have taken many semesters off to make rock-n-roll and love space independent of a university. I'm gender-queer so I'm not several people like my "gender" says but CS has no gender neutral option so there, play in a nerd band called the phenomenauts. multi-classing between total spazz and bashful monster but I know when its appropriate to climb the walls screaming or have a meaningful conversation. have social anxiety but lots of energy to make friends and guess what? I wanna be yours.
This is my tumblr if you want a better peak into my monster brain.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are ever in trouble for doing a little harmless urban exploration, bring a camera with you (the more professional the better) and make fake business cards. If anyone tries to get you in trouble for trespassing tell them you work for a magazine and needed some shots for a story you were doing about the city your in. Have your explanations planned out and the name of the magazine memorized. Some people just cant imagine why anyone would want to explore abandoned buildings and construction sites. Go figure! (This works when you want to get on top of a skyscraper to get a good aerial view of the city as well.)
