I have operated a flamethrower.
I used to sleep in a hammock every night. It was attached to my walls.
I can drink 16 oz of water in one go.

I ride a bike around the city and have a SFBC membership.
I'm very patient with emotional people (and very patient in general).

My favorite form of exercise is walking. Hardcore. Like an hour a day, sometimes. Then hiking. Then yoga/pilates. Then biking. Then maybe running if I really need to get out some energy and fast. Dead last would be the hamster wheel, I mean treadmill at the gym.

I am autopoietic, echolalic, and a synesthete.

making things, looking for farms to run away to, swind & lindy dancing, learning about sail ships, drinking tea, watching random old TV shows like Perfect Strangers, Ally McBeal, and 3rd Rock from the Sun (the 1st season of which was AWESOME).

having a variety of glues on hand, making caramelized onions, walking long distances, and parallel parking on steep hills.

I'm tall.
