How I came to live in Lawrence (if applicable): I moved to Lawrence to attend KU upon graduating high school some fifty million years ago. I completed my first year of basic studies in Fine Arts and then high-tailed it out of here for Los Angeles when the opportunity arose. After five years, I decided I needed a change and to save some money while I (finally) finish school. Lawrence has always held a warm place in my bitter little blood-organ, so I came back.
The End.
Hobbies: Reading, writing, not so much the arithmatic.
Photography, effing around with Photoshop, drawing. Being so artsy-fartsy it hurts. Alienating others with my standoffishness which is really just a mask for my hidden insecurities...oh, and being arrogant and judgemental.
Favorite media: I love the dying magazine.

Opinion on the South Lawrence Trafficway issue: I think the South Lawrence Trafficway needs to discuss its problems rather than bottling them up and calling me at 3 a.m. in a drunken stupor just to break down and cry.
Opinion on West Lawrence: Uh...it's like most towns west sides.
Opinion on the smoking ban: I'm for it. And I smoke. I hate going home smelling like a Vegas casino.
A short essay on why I am or am not a hipster: What is that? Is that like a fanny pack?
