About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To mold every day into something awesome.

ABOUT ME

Hmmmm... I am an art student almost out of art school. I like to draw, I like drawings cartoons, I like reading, I like reading comics. I just moved into a great new apartment and will be making use of my beautiful new kitchen to learn how to cook better! Um, I have a ton of Christmas lights that I want to make into a ball of Christmas lights hanging lamp. It's gonna rock. I am almost always down to watch a movie with you. Or not, no skin off my back. But, no, seriously, I love movies. I've been getting more into anime and manga recently (I went to Japan recently). And more nerd stuff. It's fun, it's something I feel like I missed out on growing up, and now I'm playing some hardcore catchup. I'm trying to learn some Spanish right now, using Rosetta Stone. I downloaded it. I download a lot of stuff. Music, movies, TV, whatever. I don't watch TV on TV, I just download it. I do own a TV set, but only to watch VHS or DVD. I am a major collector. I collect movies, music, comics, DIY comics and zines, Garbage Pail Kids cards, kewl toyz, books, bad habits, and others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not participated myself, but I have met many people coming through Chicago from my friends here who have had Couchsurfers staying on their couches. Most of them are pretty groovy, I think Couchsurfing attracts some pretty great individuals. I love this idea of world community, and want to be a part of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode on a bike tour of the Irish Isle when I was in high school. It took a week, was rainy, exhausting, and totally scenic.
