ABOUT ME

cliche about liking to travel, cliche about being open to new experiences, cliche about carpe diem and experiencing as much as I can. Additionally, I have a bizarre, inexplicable love of weiner dogs and pies, and after having just recently watched Constantine, I truly believe one of Hollywood's greatest tragedies is that Keanu Reeves looks exactly right for every part he is lamentably cast for. Also, if I could go back in time and have lunch with anyone, ever, in the world, I'd find Oscar Wilde and ride him senseless. If anyone in the world, ever, would be down for hot anonymous sex with a timetraveler, however much of a not-gay-man she might be, it would absolutely be him, right? Either him, or a young, innocent, starry-eyed Mark Twain.

PHILOSOPHY

I previously had "sex and ice cream, but not together" as my philosophy, but that was generating a series of undesired reponses, so here's my new one:

"Give me liberty, or give me death."

I think that pretty much says it all in the kind of concise and unscandalous way I was looking for

I stay with you, and I make you an apple pie, or you stay with me, and I make you an apple pie (depending on time frame and the availability of ingredients). Either way it's a win-win situation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just accidentally saw Tony Hawk do a 900 on the beach in Barcelona, and went hiking through the Pyrenees in a snow storm, in JUNE. Also, a few years ago I almost met my demise on a laughably brambled sea-side trail in Galicia with a Madrileno friend of mine. We followed a rainbow over the bush-plagued trail to its end at a tiny camp site at next to a village at twilight, where I found an Austrian with my last name. First European Steiger I've ever known. It was pretty fucking cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in many of the exotic regional dialects of the south of the United States, e.g.,"Ya'll fixin' to go muddin'? I might could come with, if I ain't got chores."
