Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Simply by admitting it, my mission will become impossible. (no pun intended)
ABOUT ME
I study at Warren-Wilson College, tryna get a degree in saving the world. (Used to go to The George Washington University)
I love dogs and reptiles and cats. I hate cantaloupe
I own all of the original Twilight Zone.
I can tell you the origin of almost any phrase or word (almost).
I enjoy iambic pentameter.
I like to clean. I like to party. I like to sleep. I like alone time. I like to talk. I'm not hard to get along with as long as you can appreciate wildly inappropriate jokes and sarcasm which at times is difficult to decipher.
PHILOSOPHY
Cheesy but: "do onto others as you would have them do onto you"
Secret Anarchism. The 14th Amendment is my bible. Someday Amendments and lawyers and huge judicial systems wont be necessary, but until then I'm going to do the best I can to help as many people as I can.
What's the difference between a whistle blower and a snitch? Whistle blowers face legal consequences for calling out a powerful institution. That'll be me. Maybe I'll go to jail only one in my life but god damn it, it'll be for treason, not civil disobedience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have only ever been the facilitator. I enjoyed the unique and worthwhile experience of being the "pink sparkly sheep" in a house full of black sheep. (they called me crust-punk soccer mom). The experience fostered a love of community. Constant travelers coming in and out, I would have though it would be draining but these kids expressed gratitude and supported us in every way they could. Even if that just meant being an awesome life long friend. (Which is more than enough)
