CURRENT MISSION

Healing and growing.

ABOUT ME

I'm an utter geek. I play video games and tabletop games and live action games. I'm the spouse of a video game designer. I'm a dreamer, and I struggle to make my dreams into art. I'm a crazy person, with depression and ADHD. I'm a damn good cook. I'm a fat urban feminist.

PHILOSOPHY

The meaning of life is the meaning we give it. Care as hard as you can, because the universe won't do it for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Some of my best friends are couch surfers! Honestly, I hosted once or twice several years ago, then I moved and forgot all about this site. I need to figure this one out and I'll let you know.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met a number of very interesting people who have mentioned couchsurfing, and have seen them get all starry-eyed about it. I look forward to having more personal experiences myself.

Interests

Mental health, tabletop games, cooking, eating, being married, gardening, webcomics, sustainable living, museums, informal education.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some favorite authors: Lois McMaster Bujold, Octavia Butler, Sharon Shinn, Robin McKinley.

I like scary movies, and weird foreign movies. I don't think good visuals make up for a terrible plot.

I like music with deep emotion. This isn't a genre thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked alone across 8 Western states the summer of 2006.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to do some chores around the house, or help buy and prepare meals.
