About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have more stories to tell than you.

ABOUT ME

Oh hello! My name is Shannon, but I am often called Shanny, Fanny, Shanshine, Shannaban O'Crannahan, Sha-Nay-Nay, Shanniqua, Fanny McPherson, Fanny McFuckFace, Fun Bags Shananigans, amongst other magical and creative names.

Here are some things I love:
I love laughing.
I love eating things.
I love drinking things.
I love buying things.
I love selling things.
I love grocery shopping.
I love people.
I love traveling.
I love conversating (yeah, I know it's not a word).
I love crafts.
I love craigslist.
I love foreign films.
I love sneezing.
I love the F word.
I love sushi.
I love wine.
I love beer (good beer).
I love lists.

Here's a bit more about me...
I have been to every US state.
I'm afraid of heights (doesn't stop me).
I have terrible handwriting.
I hate public pools & hot tubs.
I hate hearing people breath and eat loudly.
I can't do a cartwheel.
I always wear my seatbelt.
I'm allergic to dogs, cats, Russian Thistle, and work.
I don't like touching newspapers.
I don't drink milk.

Here's my wishlist:
I want to visit every continent (4 left to go...)
I want to skydive (yeah, still afraid of heights!)
I want to go sailing.
I want to hang glide.
I want to rock climb (like, on rocks).
I want to deep sea dive.
I want to parasail.
I want to take cooking classes.

Here's some more important schtuff:
...I was raised a conservative God-lover and am now a liberal atheist (but will respect your values and beliefs). I spent many years in parochial school, but was unable to hold onto those beliefs.

...I studied web design in community college and plan to pursue a bachelor degree in Public Relations so I can plan parties (because I'm good at partying).

Here are my favorite quotes:
"Blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventure."
--L. Drachman

"We take to the breeze, we go as we please"
--E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

"Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe."
--Anatole France

"I'll poop in your butthole... and then you poop it back... into my butthole... and then we will keep doing it. Back and forth with the same poop. Forever."
--Robby, You and Me and Everyone We Know

PHILOSOPHY

Spankings are often positive reinforcement for bad behavior.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host! I love to cook for my guests, show them the town, and provide as much comic relief as they can tolerate.

I can also provide some excellent bathroom literature such as:
Did Somebody Step on a Duck? (about farting, farts are cool)
The Girls Guide to Peeing Standing Up
Where's Dildo?
