Howdy! I've just thrown myself in with the teeming hordes of young college grads in Portland, and I'm hoping to have some fun here. I'm a Creative Writing grad, a seasonal wildland firefighter, a vegan, and an all-around adventurer. I'd say I like long walks on the beach, but I'd rather run, and I'm a bit of a thrillseeker. Cliff jumps? Yes.

Between traveling, right now I'm tutoring high school students and working odd jobs while writing and running around looking like a fool trying to find more odd jobs. My long-term plan is to join law enforcement, but I won't be able to apply for another 2 years. I bought a "new" car not long ago (a 72 VW Super Beetle) and it's become a big hobby to work on it. It's got style, but it's also got an attitude. It's a love-hate relationship:)

Not giving up. Reading out loud. Pinochle (if you know what that is, you should message me).

My crazy pants.

I love most music unless it sucks, I'm a big movie buff, and my favorite's gotta be The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. And I just read Wool by Hugh Howey--great post-apocalyptic novel series about the balance between survival and living, freedom and safety.

What's most important for me in the world/what to do with my future.

Cruising OKCupid looking for that one special person who will raise me from the lonely mediocrity of singledom and make my life worth living.

This has been an example of my sense of humor. If you laughed, we'd probably get along. If you took it seriously but now that I've pointed it out think it's kinda funny, we might get along. If you still don't get it, you probably shouldn't message me. If you just thought it was lame, you're probably right and should definitely message me so that you can teach me how to be funny.

I watched The Human Centipede last night.

Ugh.

You want to go somewhere and have fun! You want to get to know me better. You want to have outdoor adventures. You want to give me a lot of money (or a great job). You want to jump my bones and need to know if I feel the same way!
