About Me
Me? I'm only just discovering this; it's humbling. My life right now could be summed up by suffering, impermanence, and non-self.
I moved to the Bay area from Massachusetts. I spent a few years in the magazine industry post-college, and am currently working as a grief counselor. I'm in the process of applying to grad school in psychology.
I'm in recovery. I've survived the worst efforts of some very bitter attempts at self-destruction. I've been through hell. I have a past, and I have stories.
I'm a nomad. I've lived all over the US, from upstate New York to Colorado to Massachusetts, and now California, and spent a few years in Vancouver, Canada as well. I like meeting new people, and I'm easy to get along with, despite being occasionally too pensive for my own good.
I'm a tall, skinny, bookish, tea-drinking morning person. I couldn't live without libraries. I like wandering outdoors. I meditate. I appreciate the beauty in strange and little things. I have a thing for motorcycles, though I've only had the pleasure of being a passenger. I write, constantly, although this is more for my own sanity than the enjoyment of others. I believe the personal is the political. I miss having animals about the house.
There's more - of course. But that's a start.

Again, because I'm relatively new to the area, I'm definitely interested in meeting new friends. If you're a book-clubber, Buddhist, NPR-aficionado, writer, autodidact, urban explorer, lost soul, in recovery, or otherwise interested in living and questioning and being, we've got a better-than-average chance of getting along. Don't hesitate to drop me an email.
