About Me

CURRENT MISSION

constant flux, but currently attempting to propagate rhizomatic being through growing food, becoming multiple, drinking wine and saying yes

ABOUT ME

i wish i could become a bike-centaur. i like it when my hair is salty from the ocean. i prefer radicalism to dogmatism. i have a rat tail. i enjoy watching nature destroy man-made objects. i am interested in sustainability that sustains something non-fascist. i see great value in dinner parties. i seek experiences that are not mediated by capitalism. i like talking about simulacra but am not so sure about living in it. i like rock climbing but i don't care for talking about it. laughter seems important. i am inspired by communal living and other small communities.

PHILOSOPHY

there are already too many "personal" things. i think individualism is dumb. so, im not sure that i have a "personal philosophy". i enjoy my entanglements with others. i am curious about my own otherness. DIY is cool, but i'd rather do it with friends. i prefer not to buy things, but i often do. i have a low tolerance for binary thought. i am skeptical of science. anthropocentrism strikes me as particularly lame. fragmentation appeals to me. i like how repetition and difference interact.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

im not sure what the CS2 project is yet. i'll look into it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i am just joining this network, but i do come to it with some experience. i have been taken in on various occasions while hitchhiking, through people i have met on trains, and on farms. when home my house is constantly filled with guests. i would like to relate a story, but i prefer to share these types of stories orally.
