Happy bearded face
Empty pint glasses Hooray!
Another beer please!

I recently started a blog,
http://www.nerdoutloud.com/category/beer/ It's mostly about beer, drinking beer, reviewing beer, brewing beer, blah, blah, blah beer.

Lots of stuff, particularly crafty stuff. I'm a creative person. I like making things, cooking, building, drawing, henna, writing, acting, brewing. I can learn to do anything as long as I have a reasonable amount of time in which to learn said craft, AND there's a good long period of trial and error. I'm really good at drawing a good pint of beer. I get lots of practice as I have a kegerator at home :) Oh, and I have a wicked recipe for pumpkin bread and bake it often this time o' the year. I also really enjoy indulging my inner nerd and geek. This is usually done through film, books, and comics. It seems as though I may be good at bowling, but only time will tell.

I am equal parts beer, beard, sunshine, and rain.

You've read my profile and think we might get along well. But you should definitely message me if any of the following apply:

You dig beards.
You like tasty beer.
You enjoy good times.
You qualify yourself as nerdy, geeky, dorky, or hippie. Though if you don't that's okay too.
