CURRENT MISSION

West Coast

ABOUT ME

I am pretty sarcastic, easy going, and I like to have fun. I get a long with almost anyone. I love writing, reading books by Charles Bukowski, Chuck Klosterman, Kurt Vonnegut and Lesley Arfin (she only has one book, Dear Diary, but its awesomeness tacks on like, 500 more.) I am really bad at texting. I do it a lot but the words don't normally make sense and are barely ever spelled right. As a journalist, I could use a few more spelling and grammar classes.. I'm more interested in getting my thoughts on paper quickly than spelling them correctly.

PHILOSOPHY

I think a weeks worth of traveling is so much more important than anything you else you can purchase.
