About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The tape recorder self-destructed before I could view my mission...

ABOUT ME

I'm a bit transient at the moment.
I'm always out and about, with different friends or something of that sort.

I will be late for my own funeral. I laugh constantly.
I don't like any criticism.
I want to live on a boat for a year. I probably will.
I go in to a euphoric trance whenever The Velvet Underground's "Heroin" is played.

I dress like I just escaped from Bellvue but I call that fashion. ;)

I'm a tiny slip of a thing. A waif, rather.
5 foot one and a half and I might not even hit 3 digits in weight.

I'm very friendly.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you decide to be something, you can be it. That's what they don't tell you in the church. When I was your age they would say we can become cops, or criminals. Today, what I'm saying to you is this: when you're facing a loaded gun, what's the difference?"
-- The Departed, Frank Costello (Nicholson)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll be traveling soon so I'll need places to stay wherever I end up. Currently in Atlanta, can't host at the moment (roommates) but I sure can show you a good time in Atlanta!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've slept on plenty of couches. I find that leather couches are the best to sleep on, and the worst ones are made of some horrible scratchy material.
The last couch I slept on was my friend Dawn's (well... really it was her boyfriend Dave's) couch in Austin, Texas. Now THAT was a couch. That thing was huge and soft and practically a bed. Thanks, Dave.

But to actually answer the question, I haven't couch surfed yet through this site, but hopefully soon. ;)
