I grew up in Albuquerque, NM and currently schoolin it up in LA.
I'm a
vegetarian, I enjoy
volunteering, I ride my bike
nearly everywhere, I drum and play guitar/keys, and I'm trying to
learn bass, mandolin, and any interesting instrument I can get my
hands on. I'm trying to meditate and do
yoga more often.
My childhood heroes are Sonic the Hedgehog and Donatello (the ninja
turtle, not the sculptor...)
I'll poke fun at everyone (including myself) for some laughs. I
enjoy playing the pan-flute and frolicking through the
forest.
Ideologically, I'm a total
green-pinko-commie-anarcho-socialist-feminist-hippie.
In brief, I like-- music, art, environmentalism, intelligence,
creativity, tattoos, piercings, nerds, alternative transit
I dislike-- egos, materialism, greed, nihilism, pollution
I do stage and audio work at my school, intern at a recording
studio, and am studying to become a studio/venue owner+multimedia
audio/visual artist (in an ideal world, anyway). I tend to get lost
listening to 12 second audio loops on repeat while daydreaming
about out of body experiences.
I enjoy films that make you think, art you can touch, and food
cooked with love.
I do some nerdy computer programming/web design stuff on the
side.
I encompass a nice cross-section of geekiness and creativity...I
was the kid in Physics C in high school who had to miss the AP exam
to tour with his band.
playing music, riding a bike, making people feel like they're 8
years old again.
If you're having a shitty day, I can improv you a folk song about
your cool bowling shoes, or the grace with which you brush your
teeth.
I could destroy you in a cereal eating contest.
A constant smile, rosy cheeks, and an inappropriate sense of
humor.
Oh, and I'm short (though I think of it as fun-sized).

matter in the universe. *head explodes*

I can't explain it, but if you wear glasses, I'm probably 50% more
attracted to you.
You'd rather have intelligent discourse than get drunk every
night.
You know the difference between a schrader and presta valve (or you
want to know)
You enjoy feeling like you've swallowed your tongue from laughing
too hard.
You use the word "rad." maybe "rad-core".
You can give me
banjo lessons.
You'll feed me
vegan food for drum lessons.
