About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To not give my mom a heart attack by going somewhere without a place to stay for the 5th time. Please help me keep my mom alive by housing me!

ABOUT ME

I actually have a spare room for a while in my new home while I'm looking for a roommate so I have more space than my previous dinky apartment.
I love cheating at games.
I love playing games.
I read a lot of Children's Literature and I have a slight obsession with Roald Dalh.
The Night Man Commeth is probably one of my favorite things that I have ever watched on TV.
I used to make clubs with my childhood friend. I never attended a single club meeting or club activity.
I LOVE pie, I also like the pie maker from Pushing Daisies.
Please do not judge me for how much I like TV because I really do want to be cool one day but I just can't hate TV and Movies no matter how much they try to make me eat Micky D's and drink Diet Pepsi. We've just been so close for so long that I really don't know who I'd be if I didn't have Liz Lemon making me think I should be more uncomfortable about my feet or beauty in the beast making me believe that reading while walking down the street is possible without falling into a manhole.
I really don't like pet fish.
The only pets I ever seem to own are fish.
I lied, I don't like other people's pet fish.
My fish are now dead so please don't make other people's mistake and buy me more.
Please house me.

PHILOSOPHY

I eat pies from the center.
I eat the frosting off doughnuts.
I kind of just go for it.
Sometimes I use a fork.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate as much in CS as I did in my childhood clubs.

I will try to do better if it means you give me a place to stay

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I kind of couchsurfed in the past by meeting random people and having them take me in. I've never been legit about it before and I'd really like to try it out.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

okay, I'm gonna take this to a for serious level for a second.
I worked as a nurse in Uganda and I was working with tons of sick kids and one really cool thing I saw was how, this one really sick child (she had had strokes, and wasn't able to speak or communicate in any way) would smile when she would look at her parents. I know this is a small thing but it's something that's really been sticking with me, it was kind of amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook/eat and I once got someone to tutor me in exchange for grilled cheese. They are really that good.
I can teach you games.
I used to draw so if I can still do that I could maybe show you how I do it.
I can make paper butterflies.
oh my gosh, I am so good at using chopsticks, unless you're from an Asian country where they use chop sticks in which case I'm only okay.
I can teach you how to make a perfect free pour cappuccino. This is legit.

As of May first 2015 I am a legit home owner so I have more room for guests (unless I get more than one roommate)

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Ethiopia, Greece, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Uganda, United Kingdom
