About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Protect the World from Devestation... To Unite all Peoples Within Our Nation... To Denounce the Evils of Truth and Love... To extend my Reach to the Stars Above... or at least to have fun

ABOUT ME

I am too wacky for my own good. I do things that don't make sense to anybody but me, and I make more references than wikipedia. I am studying biology with the purpose of getting a Ph.D. in it and becoming a college professor (it would rock if I ended up teaching at Cal Poly, where I currently go). I am up for trying anything at least twice... once to try, and once to see if the first time was really as bad as I remember it to be.

I can do the voice of Gollum and Smeagol as well as Andy Serkis

PHILOSOPHY

To each his own, and keep it that way

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Next school year I will have an apartment, and (with the consent of my roommate) I will have a couch to offer. I also see myself couch surfing when i travel on my own or with friends, when I get a chance to.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hung out with surfers who where crashing at friends' houses, and they tend to be awesome people. You get to travel by osmosis, and that's almost as good as traveling for real.

Interests

Biology, Stumble, LOST!!!, friends, fun, debauchery.
I love to cook, so if you come a-crashing, you might get some good eats.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to spend 2 hours talking to my favorite author face to face. I bought him a beer at a convention, and we started talking. Pretty soon there was a group of about 7 people listening to this man speak until 2 in the morning.
