I'm new here. Just introducing myself. I am a 25 year-old novelist. A Gemini. I'm passionate, creative, intelligent, adventurous, outgoing, shy, humorous, curious, and an undying romantic. I've cried under the Pacific moonlit canopy, and made love under the graveyard western sky. The persons who influence me most are: Jack Kerouac, Ani Difranco, Buddha, Bruce Lee, Ernest Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson, Leo Tolstoy, Dylan Thomas, BB King, and Jimi Hendrix. My most current ambitions are to backpack both South America and Europe, teach english in Spain, study Muai Thai in Thailand, publish a novel, learn a foreign language, delve into eastern philosophy, and to fall in love with life all over again.
