I'm basically Starlord.
Charismatic and fun, but in no way smooth.

I live a sort of mad scientist/vaudeville performer existence and I'm not really sure that I ever need to reconcile to the two.

"Moderation is for monks, to enjoy the full flavor of life, take big bites."
-Lazarus Long

I make costumes and cosplay outfits as a profession, and I love it.

I'm also an actor, an ecdysiast, and a makeup artist.

Because I'm a performer, I also obviously work in the service industry when times are lean.

I'm also learning French, piano, and how to get in ninja warrior shape.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love traveling and I would much rather stay with someone local who can give pointers on the things to do and places to see (and where to eat!) and I love doing the same for people coming to visit my locale.
