CURRENT MISSION

To eat cheese from every country that produces it, except for Italian worm cheese. I am not that dedicated.

ABOUT ME

I'm rather inelegant--sort of the Sailor Moon archetype who eats a lot (yet stays thin) and is incredibly clumsy--but not as useless, I swear. I'm generally a nice person and very practical. My normal attire is jeans, a T-shirt, and hoodie, although I dress like a hobo when it's cold--which is roughly 80% of the time, even though I live in California.

I'm a grateful person who believes in repaying favors and saying "please" and "thank you." :)

I have a spending weakness for good food. Despite my rag-tag attire, I've tried many upscale restaurants and am a pretty tough food critic.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be open minded about other people's lifestyles and tastes. It's pretty hard, I think, to not be judgmental towards people who live very different lives from oneself--it's easy to fall back on pejoratives like, "slut," "freak," "fag," and to feel superficially superior to people in order to mask one's own underlying insecurities.

If I make a snap judgment, I try to think about why I did so and then reevaluate as I get to know someone better.

I'm kind of an atheist, so life is... slightly pointless? I don't believe anyone really has any predestined purpose, but that it's still good to make life better for others if you can so everyone can enjoy it while it lasts.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I wish I had my own place, but I rent a tiny room in a house belonging to an elderly couple, so I have no couch to offer. :(

I'd like to couch surf though!

Centres d'intérêt

I like trying new foods, changing my hair, reading comics, reading in general, going for walks (preferably not on the beach, because I hate sand) and having good conversation.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I was going to say "watch a giraffe give birth," but then I remembered that was only on Animal Planet and not in real life. This is a sign that I need to get out more. Somebody with a couch, save me!

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can burp on command and this is a teachable skill. I am also very good at color coordination if you want me to help you match your towels.
