HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING So far I've mainly been participating by meeting with people coming to my city, since I have no couch of my own to offer. I hope to be able to offer my own place to travelers once I get a place the US in a few months, though. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE My only actual surfing experience was a week or so in DF last April. It was great fun, and I definitely plan to seek out other CS hosts next time I'm on the move.

I find some enjoyable aspect of most kinds of music, especially if whoever's producing it is clearly skilled. There are some styles here and there that I don't particularly like, but even with those I could probably come to change my mind if I had some understanding of why you like it. A Simple Plan, however, unless you listen to it for irony, sucks. The fiction I most often choose to read for fun tends to be sci-fi, but some of the most worthwhile novels I've read are in other genres. With nonfiction, my tastes are about as wide-ranging as they are with music. It's not unusual for me to read a book on theoretical physics right before or after one on something like feminism or evolutionary psychology.
