CURRENT MISSION Realizing, Learning, Discovering, Teaching, Loving, and Being Proved Wrong ABOUT ME I love making people laugh, and people who make me laugh. I'm pretty laid-back and chill, but I have alot of energy. I am observant and open-minded, and am wise (or foolish) enough to try almost anything once. I love tacos and salmon, and people watching.

Teach, Learn, Share
I'm a grab bag of knowledge. I know a little about a lot, and like to share and receive more than a little!
My Interests
I love people, and art, making an listening to all kind of music. I love stories of all kinds, people, and history. languages, idiocyncracies, football (soccer). sunshine, and splashing in puddles. I rarely forget small things, and i therefore enjoy time when I can sit and let all of the small memories bounce around in my head (I usually do this with paper and a pen). I love photography and theatre, and sketching in art museums.
