CURRENT MISSION Whirlwind tour of Europe after a year in Thailand, then home to California again. ABOUT ME I'm easygoing, addicted to books, and believe wholeheartedly in the importance of laughing at oneself regularly. I also sing as much as I can, and I like going dancing in the evenings. PHILOSOPHY Like I said, laughter of all kinds. I believe in not taking anything too seriously and letting life flow as much as possible. I believe in showing up.

I can edit your grammar, check your spelling, and diagram your sentences. I can pick out Orion in the night sky, tell you about Greek mythology, recite Shakespeare sonnets from memory, understand where you're coming from, and run on almost no sleep as though I'm well rested, if I'm enjoying what I'm doing. I'm looking for more. There must be more out there, because I don't feel like I'm done. Help me find this more, and I'll be properly grateful.
My Interests
music, books, travel, foreign languages, summer weather, fall weather, the color green, fresh-cut grass, redwoods, animals, cooking something special, crimson (the color and the word), fresh breezes, late nights, singing whatever comes into my head, pizza after drinking, dancing until everything's sore, islands, beauty
