I've been kinda sorta thinking about starting a blog for a little while. I go on a lot of adventures I'd love to document better, I sporadically try a bunch of new craft/painting projects, and it's a good way for everybody in my life still 3000 miles away to keep up on what I'm getting into out here. I tweet, I Facebook, but they're not really enough to explain what I'm up to or what's happening or where I'm going. So with a genius idea by a co-worker one day, this blog was born!

I pretty much want to use this to document my experiences and be able to share them with people, near and far. I love music and go to a bunch of shows, so I'll definitely be writing about those (+pictures!). I enjoy traveling, but I don't get to do as much of it as I'd like. I do get to go on a bunch of short road trips exploring Oregon, Washington, and California, and trying to take advantage of all the awesome things out here. Sometimes I get inspired to do some crafting (usually painting projects) and I'd enjoy documenting those; how they came out, what worked well, what to do next time, if someone wants it (I really just have no more room for paintings, but I still like to experiment and do new ones). I also like to read weird books, watch weird movies, be a little weird (Rule 3: It's ok to be weird!), volunteer, explore, adventure, gallivant, and try new things. Hopefully this blog will be an amalgam of those things, plus other random things that I'm involved in, and more than likely some reminiscing of past adventures.
