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.
