HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking for couches and people to hang out with. Especially gay people. Especially gay couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to this. Seems awesome, though.

Intereses

machines that go fast, Marxism, theater (of cruelty!), cooking adequately, learning dead languages, relic-hunting, medieval manuscripts, opera, beer brewed by monks or other recluses, music made by sound engineers, rapturous delirium, close reading, poetry but *my god* not writing any myself, liberation theology, adorable kittens, all manner of insane religious ceremonies and ritual (professional interest, I swear). Back in the day I used to like riding motorcycles. I remember having time for hobbies; seems like I enjoyed them...

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Ha--I have a very specialized but largely unproductive knowledge of medieval and Renaissance literature. So, if you need help with an essay, or maybe scriptural exegesis, I'm your guy.
