ABOUT ME
I think I'll start with peanut butter. I like it (but who doesn't?). I have a cat. I often live inside my head, lost in thoughts. I can cycle without hands and I imagine myself chauffeured by a ghost rider. I like the surrealists. They would've been very fun to hang out with (especially Dali). I like contradictions and paradoxes and impossible things. I am rooted in rationality but not shackled by it. I'm a little obsessive-compulsive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Swimming after midnight with friends. The street lamps casts beautiful orange patterns under the water surface. It's a sublime experience.
