CURRENT MISSION

To meet fellow Harry Potter freaks

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Portland and love it so much, but am not into the scenester-ness. My roommate and I are not really into the bar scene... I am tall and, well, ridiculous and weird but in a pleasant way. Let's joke about people named Gary.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't take anything too seriously and like to look for the positive even in a terrible situation. I strongly value humility, graciousness and kindness in others and myself.
