I am goofy, fighting ninjas, and thinking.

My Self-Summary

Ok, so I'm a mix of this and that, like most folks. Half of the family tree is from Holland, the other half from Colombia. I grew up in several states: Alaska, Virginia, Florida, and Minnesota. Family and friends are always at the top of the list. Traveling, photography, books, music, and movies are constant interests. I wish I could live in Minneapolis and Ireland simultaneously. Big fan of dogs. Cheesy horror movies are super-ridiculously fun. Running is something I do because A. it clears the head and B. it's a nice challenge.

What I’m doing with my life

My days are comprised in various degrees about like this:

Working in editing, which means mucho grammar, fact-checking like a monster, readingreadingreading, learning the most random things in the process. I'm a dork for these sorts of things, so I like it.

Watching more and more movies since I'm hooked on the cinema stuff. Going to the theater never gets old.

Running around the park somewhere, down the street, on a trail.

Reading books. I want my copy of Tobias Wolff's short stories back. Darn.

Hanging out with friends. This means listening to lots of music, going to shows, to the movies, out to the bars (dives are mas mejor), lots of laughing, goofiness abounds, random acts of weirdness.

Some quiet time is always good. Hopefully adding to my novice picture-taking (I blame this on having seen William Eggleston's photography).

I’m really good at

Quoting lines from Wes Anderson movies. Very silly dance moves. Listening. Devouring a chipotle burrito. I'm a hard worker, and I take that pretty seriously. Being honest is a biggie. Finding something funny in most things. Being a good friend. I also like to make other people laugh, which makes me laugh, and so then this whole cycle starts up, and it's a pretty good time.

The first things people usually notice about me

This is a funny prompt.

I'm going to guess that my smile might be the first. I think I have a pretty good vibe, goofy, but calm and sincere, too.

Hmmm...maybe eyes. Sure, yeah, eyes.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Impossible. But I'll throw some stuff out there:

Books: The Night In Question, My Antonia, Elegy On Toy Piano, The Book For My Brother, All Of It Singing, Like You'd Understand Anyway, Resurrection Update, Who's Who Vivid, The Great Fires, and more more more...

Movies: Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson, All The Real Girls, The Wrestler, Half Nelson, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, No Country For Old Men, The Big Lebowski, Say Anything, Gremlins, An American Werewolf In London, The Godfather, This Is England, etc.

Music: Neutral Milk Hotel, Smog, Jolie Holland, Built to Spill, Archers of Loaf, The Red Pens, Silver Jews, Joanna Newsom, Bon Iver, Lifter Puller, Tapes n' Tapes, Land of Talk, Broken Social Scene, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., etc. and the etc.

Food: Pasta!

The six things I could never do without

Family.
Friends.
Music.
The Outdoors.
Laughing.
A warm jacket.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Sheesh,

It's all over the map: random places I want to visit, what to do on Friday night, where I'll be in X number of years, what dogs must think about (really, sometimes they look like they're in the middle of some serious deliberation), good places to get something to eat, what movies are coming out, how I can be a better person, what my family is up to (they're all over the country/world)

On a typical Friday night I am

Readying to battle mythic snow beasts. I dunno, I'm here and there. Sometimes it's low-key and other nights I'm out with friends doing a variety of possibles. But variety is important, also being interested, curious, and having some fun in the process. (I like writing in sentence fragments, always have.)

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

Mmmmmm...no. Pass.

You should message me if

You're easy-going. You like having fun. You don't take yourself too seriously. Randomness amuses you. You're an honest person. You like a good conversation. Mmmm...I think having interests is important, whatever they may be. It's good to have some pursuits. You can laugh until you get that belly ache thing.
