| Introduction | I'm still learning. Trying to figure out how it is a person lives in this world, in the everyday, in the normal. I work a bunch and play a bunch and try to mind the gaps. I'm fascinated by really organized creative people. But prefer the artistic mess. I want to jump out of a plane. And paint and fingerpaint. And grow things. And make things. And have lots of children. And a backyard and a porch and a forest in the city. I want to spend more time in museums and libraries. And someday make enough money to give more of it away. I want to grow old but not dumb. I smile at lots of strangers. I get distracted very easily. I will someday employ someone to clean my house. |

Which is more important to you and why: flexibility or expandability?
Expandability. Flexibility is arguably only a temporary fix. You can be flexible but not understand why. If you can extend yourself, can grow, can learn, it takes on a whole new meaning.
