ABOUT ME

Big joke(r) Hotdog mom.

Nihilist with a good imagination.

Currently residing in Vietnam, where I strive to spend most of my time existing in sweet sweet air conditioned environments lest I melt and die. I mostly just teach English, eat food, play my guitar (poorly), and make mediocre/inappropriate artwork for funsies. I'm dry, awkward, and rarely serious. I'm into adventures of all sorts, mischief, spontaneity, sarcasm, parody, crass-ness, engaging in various ways with other humans/non-humans alike, and a healthy adult amount of poop jokes.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To cancel gnarly swells.
I like it both ways. I've been on couchsurfing since I was 18 and I've yet to have an unsavory experience. I've found it to be an appropriately excellent place for meeting friendly freeloaders and the other 1% of people on here alike. ;) I like cooking with surfers and hosts and I always try to expose my surfers to all the secret oddities of my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I imagine this is what everyone's profile says, but every person I've met through couchsurfing has been incredibly interesting. Some highlights: Belgian- Grindcore-House-Show-Thanksgiving-potluck, San Francisco operas, actual surfing in Santa Cruz, delicious dinner collaborations, secret beaches, secret fern gullies, home-made liqueur in France, Use-it Brussels, Belgium!, good tunes and great debauchery, new best friends.

兴趣

My favorite things are basically just cheese paired with a nice Franzia "Chillable red", melted cheese paired with virtually any edible or non edible vehicle (like, a spoon) as long as it reaches my mouth in good time, finding ways to make every song about my dog, and dancing inappropriately to classical music .

I also like putting my butt into bodies of water, exploring forbidden zones, scuba diving, nearly every other generic outdoor activity, and all of the creatures.

Art is a pretty important aspect of my life, be it creating, appreciating, or opinionating (mostly in good fun). I play guitar (again, poorly), sing, and occasionally still paint and (f)art around with photography, video, terrarium design, and stencils, though before I was an old person, I quite enjoyed mixing my travel with my art, and my preferred mediums were a lot edgier than watercolor... :/ I think I might technically still be allowed to claim artistry because I definitely start a lot of projects - though they're rarely ever finished.

• innapropriately dancing to classical music

音乐、电影和书籍

I enjoy listening to music made by people who enjoy making music, but a good sad song moves me much further. My list of musical artists is far too lengthy to include here, so if that's a journey we're to embark upon, we should just explore each others spotifys and/or record collections instead.

Space Jam, Braveheart, The Princess Bride, Being John Malkovich, the goddess of 1967, Eternal Sunshine, The Lobster, nearly any cheesy horror film (cabin the woods), nearly every excellent horror film.
Charlie Kaufman, Todd Solondz, Coen Brothers, Gus Van Sandt, etc. + 4evr

HOME MOVIES is my favorite show. Tim and Eric, Rick and Morty, Cosmos, The Office, Broad City, the Eric Andre Show, Kroll Show, Stranger Things, Twin Peaks etc.

Books:
And how should I begin...
Far too many, so here's a choice few... Dostoevsky, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Kurt Vonnegut, Cormac McCarthy, Denis Johnson, Steven Pinker, Mikhail Bulgakov, J.D. Salinger, Aldous Huxley, Nabakov, etc, etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I saw actual Monty Python live in actual London on their last ever tour! I had the worst seat and it still makes the cool things I've done list.
But also I swam with turtles and sharks in Thailand, rode an ostrich in Vietnam, and lived in the redwood forest, tentless and house-less with the banana slugs and the ferns.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you all of the words to R. Kelly's Trapped in the Closet episodes 1-20, neverending animal facts, and how to make the perfect terrarium complete with mosses and personalized clay figurines. I know how to do actual stuff but I would feel braggy if I listed those things here...

Mostly I just want to learn how to wrestle an alligator, how to light my farts on fire, and how to look like I own a yoga mat while maintaining my current level of laziness and popcorn intake.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

Tasty morsels, dog hair, possum hair, (bad)dad Jokes, puns, laughs, secrets of forbidden zones and locations, secret swimming holes. I'll also take your picture and be the most excellent youtube/spotify d.j.
