CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I want to be a poet. I suck at poetry.

Details are extraneous.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a few mantras:

"No matter what life throws at me, I can handle it. I'm tough."

"If THIS doesn't impress you, you're not worth impressing."

"Even though this person is pissing me off right now, s/he is doing the best s/he can. I can ask no more."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a newbie! Or as my game-playing nerd friends would say, a nube! I signed up on this site when I was planning a spontaneous trip to NYC, but I wound up staying with the friend of a friend instead of a couchsurfing person. However, I certainly plan to take full advantage of this resource in the future. :)

Interests

music, drama, art, people, learning, staying up all night, being embarrassingly dorky, dancing, singing, Michael Jackson music videos, and SO much other random crap

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After an all night study jam, my friend and I once broke into my school's stadium (shhh don't tell anyone) to watch the sun rise. It sounds small, but that sunrise was truly spectacular.
