| Introduction | I am trouble. I like breaking into abandoned buildings, riding my bike in the rain, and playing devil's advocate. I like sucking the marrow out of life, and long deep conversations with my friends. I hate pretense. I can't get enough of the world, especially traveling, although people often frustrate me when they're selfish. Every day is an adventure, and I want to figure you out and know your story. Will you let me in? Will I let you in? I'm not abrasive, I'm opinionated. |

Unlike a dog, how can a turtle ever be naked?
When you skin it to make soup.
