I am about 60% water by mass, and 10% human by cell-count. I enjoy learning/imagining about the unlikely, inter-tangled, sedimented, (igneous?) and metamorphic histories of everyday objects, geological formations, biological phylogenies, geographic places, and human beings including myself. I also enjoy maple syrup, pastries, the concept of glaciers, thoughts about how the universe and life evolved and also how they ultimately will end, complexity theory, reading/writing stories/poems/essays, drawing in pencil, guitar and violins, very long sentences/lists, surfing, botanical gardens, the ocean, darkroom photography, political/economic theory, too much coffee, museums, hiking through cities and mountains, woodworking, contemplating tree-rings, riding bicycles very fast at night, learning about other peoples' inner worlds, and also many other things. INTP if you believe in psychometrics, Cancer if you prefer the occult; while I don't place my trust in either, both describe me accurately. I don't know what to make of this. I "travel" less than I once did, but still cover a lot of ground in the process of warding off existential uncertainty by experimenting with new locales. When I'm more settled, I look forward to hosting, and perhaps eventually getting too comfortable and taking off for another adventure. In the mean time I look forward to meeting CS folks when the stars align, and hope to host again one day soon.
