I screwed up long ago and rather than start a new profile, I'm asking for you to forgive my 1's and let me start again.

"Style is the prime means of changing oneself and becoming what one would like to be." -Tamara De Lempicka

I'm a desert rat who looks corn-fed. I sometimes dream about quitting my life and becoming a professional surfer. I hope someday to do Muay Thai competitively or get in a really awesome bar fight. I wish I had a mustache like Dali or Selleck (girls should be able to rock facial hair too!). I'm not easily offended and laugh loudly at cheesy jokes.

i'm obsessed with documentation and learning. i love photos. i spend too much time at work, which leaves me little time to play, so i prefer to sign up for swaps which require little construction. that doesn't mean i won't put mass effort into making a package that'll make your day. i'm a die-hard crafty ruka-in-training, and i like to sign up for new or unusual projects.
