Pre-Oberlin Location:

Some interesting details about the town/city in which you live:
have you ever watched gilmore girls? THAT IS THIS TOWN. we have parades for every holiday, with little children wearing costumes, from a winter-time christmas present to a beachy sandal suit. (embarrassing, i just got back from marching in the memorial day parade with my trombone haha). other than that, there is a pretty cool chocolate shop that i work at. yay chocolate.

Music:
currently listening to some stereolab. i also "dig" sufjan (like every other oberlin student, apparently haha), the kinks, menomena, clinic, OLD DUSTY ACCORDION ALBUMS, et cetera, et cetera.

Books:
big kurt vonnegut fan, wrote my research paper on him. i also like joseph conrad, torkam sarydarian, anonymous french poets...

What book(s) are you reading right now? Good, bad, boring?:
i'm reading the heart of the matter by graham greene. at first it was sooo boring! but half way through it, the main character's wife goes on a trip, enabling him to fall into a lusty affair, so that's pretty entertaining...

Movies:
monty python, little miss sunshine, balloonland (watch it on youtube!), eternal sunshine, le notti di cabiria, ferris beuler, and much more.

So what the hell do you do with all that "spare time"?:
i write a lot of music, so i spend my spare time recording, mixing and all that jazz. i also love just going for walks; woo trees. to be frank, however, i don't have enough spare time :/ thank god high school is almost over!

Where is the most exciting place you've traveled?
well, i went to hawaii once. it was pretty cool...i saw an iguana...woo. haha. i used to travel a lot when i was younger, so i've seen most of the u.s. i'm excited and ready to see the rest of the world.

Fill in the blank: "Ohmygoodness, I'm so afraid that my college roomate will _____!"
eat me! no, just kidding. well, like your average newby college student, i hope my college roomate is very friendly, but not too clingy.

Anything else you'd like to add:
ha, if you're wondering what that object in my mouth is (in my default picture), it is not a bong, it is not a gold-plated penis, it is a kazoo!!

alright, well i've wasted a pretty good amount of time on here haha. in any case, i'm excited to meet all of you; oberlin is going to be great!
