CURRENT MISSION

mission dweller

ABOUT ME

i'm a 26 year old, clean, nonsmoking, non drug using, non pet owning (but animal loving),radical/progressive, laid back, queer lebanese bio-boy. i love the cure, live music, dark greens and kimchi. i never cook meat in the house, though i doesn't consider myself to be a strict vegetarian. my friend says i am very compassionate and generous. i love breezes and dislike space heaters so the windows will be open!
i currently live in the mission district of san francisco, working in a non profit residential facility for HIV+ homeless people with substance abuse problems. i bike everywhere and walk when i cant bike. park sitting and knitting on my days off.

PHILOSOPHY

"i don't care if people hate my guts; i assume most of them do - burroughs"
