This is a terrible way to get to know someone. I mean, it's impossible to put all that I am in such a tiny space. Especially when there are so many layers to myself.

- I'm an artist, writer, musician, historian, amateur chef and professional cynic.
-I'm British. I came from the county of Devon around about 2002. No I don't have an accent. It's long gone but my English pride remains.
-I smoke American Spirits yet am not a hipster.
-I hate weed and love psychedelics.
-I've played the saxophone for 11 years. It has a name. It's a stupid one.
-When I drink, it's wine, and it's the good stuff. I try to learn as much about wine as possible.
-I've worked in the restaurant industry all my working life and love it but here I am working at Whole Foods. Life is odd.
-I think that an active mind is the sexiest thing about a person, but I'm a sucker for dark hair and light eyes.
-I'm the physical incarnation of Daria Morgendorffer.
-I lived in NYS until 2011. Then I came to Ann Arbor. I'm still not used to this place. You're all so goddamn nice.

Living it as best I can with the tools given to me.
Studying, reading, learning as much as possible.

Cooking and baking, at least when I have time. Picking a wine to go with dinner. Looking like I know what I'm talking about when I have absolutely no clue.

That I'm roughly 90% curly hair and the other 10% is sarcasm.

Books:
ASoIaF; Laura Joh Rowland's Sano series (samurai detectives, hell yeah); historical fiction; historical non-fiction; I recently got back into manga and comic books.

If you are familiar with Achievement Hunters/Rage Quit/are Gavin or Michael then we will get along juuuuuust fiiiiiine.

(1) A sizeable body of water within an hour's drive.
(2) Trees, and a lot of them.
(3) Rainstorms.
(4) Good company.
(5) A medium of self-expression.
(6) My passport.

Ties between historical events and what's happening in the world today.

Or tap-dancing spider monkeys.

Most likely making delicious dinner for myself or my friends. Maybe Necto but most of the time not. I'm always looking for something to occupy myself with.

I have never seen The Princess Bride. Ever.

I have a major crush on Alex Blagg.

You think I'd be worth getting to know.
You want to paint together.
You're tattooed/have body mods. Not a requirement but I absolutely love that sort of thing.
You don't classify yourself as normal.
An amazing night to you means going out in the middle of a summer's night, sitting on a hill and sharing life experiences under a full moon.

Don't message me if:
-You're a proud member of the cult of Mary-Jane.
-You want to tell me about your penis.
-You're rude and not in a funny way.
