Several Interesting Things About Me:
1: I have moved around a lot. By the time I began college I had changed households 19 times. I have lived in these places in the following order:
-San Jose, CA
-San Carlos, CA
-Needles, CA
-Belmont, CA
-San Carlos, CA
-Belmont, CA
-Mariposa, CA
-Merced, CA
-Fresno, CA
-Belmont, CA
-San Bruno, CA
-Arcata, CA
-McKinleyville, CA
-Jackson, CA
Yes, I realize that only sums up to 14 places, but I have moved to different locations within those towns. I married a man who had lived in two places his entire life. Arcata and then Palm Springs while his father was on Sabbatical for a year. He's very grounding to me. He is my home, as people become when you have no real sense of "place".
2: I am half Polish, a quarter Dutch, and a quarter Sioux. I look exactly like my mother who is the Dutch/Sioux side, but I am often told I look very Polish. Go figure.
3: I am obsessed with pencils. Mechanical Bic #2 .7 mm pencils are perfect.
4: I know all the words to the first four Pearl Jam albums, make that five including Merkin Ball.
5: My buddy Tom and I were driving from Arcata to San Carlos one Thanksgiving and he asked me what albums I knew by heart. We ended up singing Sublime's "sublime" album and Weezer's Blue Album" the entire way down, at the top of our lungs.
6: My buddy Adam and I were driving from Arcata to San Carlos the following Thanksgiving and as we passed a foggy field with the mountains poking out from behind, Coldplay's "Don't Panic" came on and we smiled at each other. Later on that drive we almost hit a half of an elk laying in the roadway.
7:Gillian Welch and I have the same pitch.

Five Things
Five Things You May Not Know About Me
1.I saw "The Boy Who Could Fly" in the movie theater when I was four years old. This is my earliest cinematic memory. It was at the Fashion Island Mall cinema in 1986, the mall is no longer there, but the memories of the cinema, ice rink and arcade will always be there.
2. I organize my books in my bookshelves by height, alternating from smallest to largest and largest to smallest per shelf. Sometimes I mix it up and organize by color, or by subject.
3. I know how to make paper cranes. I try and make one every night as inspired by the book "One Thousand Paper Cranes" I made H-man a crane created from a Playboy Centerfold. I don't know how to make anything else in origami.
4. I am an excellent shot. I first shot a gun when I lived in the desert and never refuse an opportunity to fire a weapon. That said, I am pro gun control.
5. I was on a swim team in my early teens, and I was very good, the best in my region for my age group. I hated it, but I still love to swim.
