About Me

CURRENT MISSION

making jane goodall proud

ABOUT ME

i seem to be on the path to becoming a librarian and spent the past year falling in love with sculpture. i have a knack for finding endearingly strange things/people/experiences. i work at a crazy cat house. i would pay to learn the beyonce single ladies dance.

PHILOSOPHY

life is a bit of a funny hot mess.

"you are like my mom" -two of my friends with (cool) moms

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I like finding myself in a funny group of people in eclectic living spaces, so couchsurfing just makes sense. It is nice to hang out in a city instead of taking pictures of historical things sometimes.

Interests

exploring, making things, touching things I shouldn't touch, painting these things yellow, stories, hiking, animals, fresh food, dogs that look like their owners, booty dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ah! Short stories by Lorrie Moore, Amy Hempel, Miranda July, Joy Wililiams, Lydia Davis. Also art books, things written by Lucy Lippard, Rosalind Krauss. Things about Ann Hamilton, Julie Mehretu, Beuys, Richard Tuttle, Judy Pfaff.
I love artist interviews the most.
All the weird things I discover working in libraries and frantically try to keep track of. *Like newspapers full of pictures of icecream cones.

I could read Faulkner for the rest of my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sheared a sheep last summer and it was fantastic. This is partly because I am obsessed with clouds and wool and sheep are like fuzzy walking clouds.
