Here's a little about me - I just moved back to the Madison area after living in New Mexico for awhile. I like looking at stars and the clouds and I like to laugh rather frequently (and loudly) at that. I collect postcards and I like sending honest-to-goodness-old-fashioned mail. I like biking, camping, hiking, cooking, boating, crafting, reading, and the usual things that people like. I like swinging on swings and spring air, bowling and badminton, apples to apples and scrabble. I am a cat person. I find that I prefer the company of a relative few to a great number of people.

In college I was an Anthro and Russian major (Russian practice anyone? or French?) and I am fascinated by historiography. I dislike snobbery. I am relatively useless in a trivia competition, but have useless bits of trivia that I like to share nonetheless. Did you know the tallest building in ND is the state capitol?

Well, I find that life isn't as plan-able as I'd planned for but grad school for museum studies is in my future.

Making a mess in the kitchen (and some good food too!).

I am fond of non-sequitors.

My computer (also my entertainment system)

My bike

Friends and Family

Traveling- I go stir-crazy

My pillow- it's got the foam and the contours

The restaurant I would run if I ever owned a restaurant, what I should be doing but am not doing, what I should do with my life and my next travel destination.

is nothing in particular.

You think we might get along and you are not an axe murderer (or any kind of murderer really).
