About me

Gender Female
Industry Student
Location United States
Introduction I'd lived in Archbold, Hiram, Chicago, Elkhart, and Almere before moving to Atlanta in August of 2007. Here are my stories. I hope to hear yours too.
Interests anything orange, reading, writing, music (writing it - performing it - hearing it), biblical studies, languages, riding my bike to the grocery store, public transportation, hosting parties, watching good movies, traveling to unfamiliar cities and exploring all the nooks and crannies of familiar ones
Favorite Movies a few good ones I've seen in the past few years: The Straight Story; Grand Canyon; Little Miss Sunshine; As it is in Heaven; Moulin Rouge; Juno; Lars and the Real Girl; Sweet Land.
Favorite Music Folksy, rootsy, bluesy, country. John Denver lights my fire, as does Caroline Herring. I also love classical, particularly the clarinet.
Favorite Books the novels of John Irving and Anne Tyler and Madeleine L'Engle often wow me; the non-fiction stylings of Scott Russell Sanders do the same; Het boek van alle dingen (The Book of Everything) by Guus Kuijer knocked my socks off last year; Short Cuts: Selected Stories by Raymond Carver amazed me too.

You've been invited to a fancy ball but the only thing you have to wear is an orange wooly jumper. What shoes do you wear?

Fluevogs, of course!
