CURRENT MISSION

to become something other than myself. to wear hats with illustrations of raccoons on them.

ABOUT ME

The turtle can't go out to play,
Or sell his house or rent it;
For when he moves, His house moves too
And nothing can prevent it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've taught myself how to do a standing back flip because i used to have dreams about doing them with charlie brown and the gang. a few weeks ago i walked across the top beam of a swing set as if it were a balancing beam. i was very impressed with myself. also i make dance videos!
