CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to pay attention.

ABOUT ME

Friendship is one of the few things I feel fully convinced of. That and what someone once called, "A Fundamental Unity."

PHILOSOPHY

Conclusions are unnecessary.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch-surfed for 6 months after I graduated from college. Then I decided to become a monk, but that wasn't right. Then I got an apartment for a while, and lived with some people for a while. But I'm still basically always on the couch. Even when I happen to have a room with a door.

Interests

Humanizing experiences. High fives. Laughing.

• writing

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all three of those things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Europe for all 4 years of high school.

Was a labrat for pharmaceutical companies for a few years, which was both amazing and strange.

Went to grad school for writing, which involves a lot of staring out the window.

(Now back in school for the same thing)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk all day about writing, therapy, critical theory, and spirit-orientation. And I especially enjoy anything that can be classified as a 'factoid'. Heavy, but unobtrusive nerding.
