CURRENT MISSION

To make a half decent capucino for once in my God damned life.

ABOUT ME

Whilst most humans are carbon based, I'm made from salt and gold dust. I didn't choose to be this way. Oh Christ why! WHY!

Learning is one of a vanishingly small number of good things human beings do. I like to learn, but i'm easily distracted. For example, It has taken me over 17 hours to write this description. There is a shadow on the wall that looks like Leonard Cohen and I keep imagining what it would be like if it came to life and started singing to me. I've come to the conclusion that it would be terrifying beyond words and would force me to question basic assumptions regarding my reality. I will now stop looking at the shadow. I have been writing this description for 49 hours.

I have been known to utter inarticulate sounds for no reason and my limbs do things of their own peculiar volition. I'm ok with that.

Loving is another one of the good things done by people. I try to do this as well. I have black hair and eyes that shine with dread.

PHILOSOPHY

Essentially, we're fucked. There's a multitude of appropriate responses to this. I cycle through them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If you're in Northampton, I will console you, and maybe together we can blot out the hideousness around us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in Denmark for a spell and received amazing hospitality from the lovely Gemma.

Hosted the lovely Isabel and rather cruelly took her on an unreasonably long walk in the dark and the rain. Complete failure of the brain on my part.

Music, Movies, and Books

If I watch a film and you watch a film, who's to say we're watching the same film?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pigeons in the rafters of the Masjid al-Aqsa.
The generosity of people with nothing.
Rioters running away from an explosion through tear gas.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic European Longsword technique and the Turkish language, up to a point. I speak English fluently of course.

Also, I could teach you how to love again.
