I'm a pretty weird but very fun mixed bag. I like playing outside, cooking (for you), writing music and singing, painting, traveling, learning languages, and going on walks explicitly for the purpose of petting cats I love to talk philosophy and life and reality, and am very laid back. I've also got this absurd creative force inside me that plays out in all sorts of ways. I'm totally sober, no alcohol no marijuana no nicotine no uppers no downers, but I genuinely have no judgement at all. Something I'd like to get into is improv and stand up comedy. I have a huge heart for people. I've worked leading youth trail crews, been a special needs teacher, have worked in homeless shelters, and have done a lot of ecological restoration and farm work. I can drive a tractor. I can also make a sound with my mouth that is very like a trumpet. I want to be present for all the ups and downs and live a life that is more curious than controlled. I want real things, whatever they are.
