i moved to denver twoish years ago and met some lovely CSers. last summer i somehow ended up at burning man with them. these people, they're that real shit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

landed in denver and surfed a week til i found home. started going to local CS events and miss CJ's third-sunday potlucks. and at burning man i realized all of the fucking rad people i knew in denver knew each other, too. it was glorious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

yesterday i wanted to make a snowman but my friend said 'look at the snow,' and i said 'yeah,' and he said 'it's the small kind, it won't stick together,' and i went outside anyway because i'm a brat and he was right and i was in awe of his snow knowledge.

Teach, Learn, Share

let's see. i've milked goats, grown vegetables, and played with kids a ton. i'm learning guitar and can do some piano things. i can show you how to do a free-standing headstand, probably. working on spanish. i have knitting down okay, but i would love to learn how to crochet. i can make sauerkraut. and stuffed animals. i can probably teach your dog anything.

also, i very much want to start making puppets.

big ones.
