Introduction Human - I live largely inside my own head. I hate spending extended periods of time in cities, but I live in one. I would rather sweat out of every pore in my body than be cold, but I love to ski. I love the wilderness for it's life and death simplicity. Mountains and summer nights give me the closest thing to a religious experience that I want. In roller derby circles I was known as Cardinal Sin. I am a recovering loner and if you know me, it's probably not as well as you think.
Interests summer nights, raspberries, beer, live music, reading, movies, film making, existing with friends, mountains, white water rafting, horseback riding, skiing, backpacking, roller derby, running, video games, playing with clay, solitude, writing things no one else is allowed to read, photography, avoiding you, inflicting social change upon the unsuspecting, etc.
