From Tacoma, lived in Ecuador for a while, currently in Seattle because -- everything. I have strong feelings about fountains and whether or not to jump in them. Music, street dogs, dogs on the street, dancing and conversations and cats... God I love cats.

Working as a Bilingual Youth Counselor and part-time high school teacher. Lots of music -- recording an album, currently; a long process, and worth every minute of it. My friends just got a puppy and I take it for walks for them, it is amazing.

Getting my dog really excited for no reason whatsoever.
Baking.
Guitar, singing (preferably with others)
Licking my own elbow. (It's not impossible, I can prove it)

As stated by others:

"You have eyes, but you also have hair."
"You play a damn sexy guitar. Especially T-Paine's Get Low, acoustic-style"
"Seriously? I'd do you. But only for a few nights. Are you looking for commitment? I can't do that. But I'd do it."

(My friends are assholes.)

Also, kittens.

Having a drink with friends, great conversations, maybe a late night jump into Lake Washington, or galavanting around the hill.

When I was little I had a pet mouse that I named after a Puff Daddy song.
