About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to get the French to speak to me in their native language, not mine.

ABOUT ME

all about "YOU": the one or ones being addressed —used as the pronoun of the second person singular or plural in any grammatical relation except that of a possessive —used formerly only as a plural pronoun of the second person in the dative or accusative case as direct or indirect object of a verb or as object of a preposition — compare thee, thou, ye, your, yours

PHILOSOPHY

try everything as many times as you can... up until you either love it or hate it. moderation is not modern... or it's post-modern... or... yeah...
my psalms are sing-along songs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i provide couches... but more importantly, experiences. but then again i think the couches thing is pretty important too... hmmm...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only the best!

Interests

Making lists to facilitate peoples' decision as to whether or not i am worth meeting...
Snowboarding, reading, guitar, laughing, eating, breathing, walking, running, crawling, biking, rickshawing, painting, drawing, sewing, crafting, spelling, finding... and doing anything and everything that i haven't already done.

more? okay. here comes some more
music - not making it, or even listening to it really, but music. maybe singing songs that i once knew from a time long ago? who is to say really...
talking. speaking. orating. discussing. monologuing. dialogging. intercourse (that means exchanging words right? right)
painting, drawing, traveling, laughing, not-flying. i really hate flying.
selling out.

anti-hobbies/interests:
smoking. fighting. kidnapping. keeping it real.
