CURRENT MISSION

Defy time.

ABOUT ME

Want, for me, is necessity. I only know what I want when I know. Indecision, for me, is indifference. I like peanut butter cups, ice cream, mornings that start at 2pm, and Nights that blend with the suns brilliantly inevitable rise. I believe in Aliens with a little help from my friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I am in love with the whole world. I never speak insincerely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, my couchsurfing experience has been much more take than give, definitely not a typical relationship. So...come get lost and found with me! Sine then-I have had nothing but lovely experiences with even lovelier people. So it goes...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed once when I was looking to move here to Seattle. I live here now and have an amazing friend who lives less than ten blocks away. I think it went pretty well!

Interests

Scribbling Frantically. With no agenda. Polaroid camera. Heavily bearded men. Spanish 101. Suitcases and strangers. Songs about Seattle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a man step completely outside of himself. Outside of all of his lines. Cells. Skin. Organs. Blood. Body. Just to get closer to mine. To gain some understanding. To touch and feel. And to make sure I was real. To make sure I had breath and heart.beat. I have no idea if he stayed. or where he went if he did not. But I was taught. I will live pursuant to this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to poach an egg. Or several eggs. It is not as easy as it tastes like it might be. I know how to crochet. I know how to drive, very well. I know how to spell almost everything. It is intuitive. I know how to help you pick out tennis shoes based on your individual foot type, arch, pronation, several other factors. I know how to shoot a gun. I can draw a mushroom and a hat and nothing else. I can write very well with both hands, though I am not ambidextrous otherwise. I cannot sew a button well, but I will do it if you ask me to. I am very interested in Natural Medicine and Nutrition and quite knowledgable about both. I am terrified of traditional medicine and anything invasive.
