Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We want to invite interesting liberal queer friendly people into our Madison home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We all have experience couchsurfing with friends, strangers, and friends of friends, but are new to this website. Chelsea has couchsurfed through the website before in Israel with friends while studying there. I was at a meeting for Israel's green party, was asked if I wanted to go to the beach... left everything behind and with just the clothes on my back took the last train to Haifa to meet my friends for the weekend.

Music, Movies, and Books

Though we don't have cable at home, we are surprisingly into many tv shows. Chriss is a librarian in training so she has too many books to list. Our movie tastes are varied but Hedwig and the Angry Inch and Shortbus are favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A poem describing a night in our home from our wonderful friend Misia...

Sunday night bloody mary's
melancholy ukulele's
electric tape on gum drop nipples
corset's squeezing temptress hipbones
borrowed drag queens' fox fur coats
wedding veil and string of pearls
whips and lace and eyes that smoke
lashes batting glitter dust
ivory fangs pleading yes
fall breeze kissing naked chests

tonight
it's about pain and pleasure
tonight
it's angels dressed as vixens
tonight
it's saints out to be wicked
tonight
they'll paint this city
in sex and silk and all things holy,
all things hushed and desire driven

tonight it's tomorrow's taboo stored
inside a locket's tiny door
clasped between two middle fingers
screaming "fuck you!" to the status quo
with poe and a raven on their shoulders
singing "nevermore, nevermore"
