6 word autobiographies

strong handshake, precocious eyes, sly smile

blushing bibliophile always has book recommendations

mischievously frolicking in fields of wit

often prefers to summarize in haiku

succulently sarcastic siren seeks surreal synchronicity

how her belly loved to undulate

slightly manic instigator socially lubricates all

absurdly efficient at the mostly mundane

top shelf liquors and questionable morals

vocabulary nerd desires a lunch date

aspiring acrobat prefers to fly upsidedown

naked tongues love a good story

I'll sleep when I'm dead

wedding, whiskey, good pals
moto ride, belly teach yay
none of these things suck

Happy Anniversary of My Existence Haikus

Written over the course of June 25 - 27. My date of birth is June 26th. Thank you to "Chops" Roethle for the last minute invite. An unexpected camping adventure is exactly what I needed.

---

4am pick up
I haven't slept since Tuesday
this better be good

en route to Ross Lake
camp mates' faces still sleep stained
but I chatter, giddy

Pacific Northwest:
I suddenly understand
Pantheism

wee motor boats
travel to each waterfall
in each splash: beauty

I frolic and swim
black bikini and Keen shoes
ultimate freedom

all glacier water
we could swim to Canada
if we wouldn't freeze

sun baking brown skin
icy pools refresh past flesh
rinse/repeat indeed

The Young Invincibles and Me

A childhood friend, Aaron Oetting, and his lovely wife Sarah, are in the process of making a full length independent film called The Young Invincibles. The Young Invincibles is an intimate look into the lives of three young adults with various stages of cancer as each deals with issues surrounding sex, career paths, and support from friends and family. While the movie is still in its initial stages, Sarah and Aaron have decided to chronicle their film making journey in blog form. Check out the first entry here.

Recently Sarah and Aaron approached me about being the project blog's main writer, as well as manage any future online media to promote The Young Invincibles and its inevitable adventures. Of course, I accepted.

While this is unfortunately a non-paying gig (boohiss!), it is certain to be an awesomely wild ride and excellent professional experience. I am so thrilled to be part of this dynamic team!

My inaugural post announces some big news for The Young Invincibles. Read all about it!
