What is something that people are surprised to find out about you? No tattoos, just a splattering of freckle constellations.

If you could have a dinner party and invite any 4 people, dead or alive, who'd be coming? I think 4 people is just "having some people over". A party should be more, and they should be living. The Sedaris's, Ira Glass, Tom Waits and guests. You should totally come.

Where are your local haunts? The libraries near me. Moloko, Ristretto, Liberty Glass, Albina Press, Powells, PAM, SCRAP, galleries, coffee shops, a trail head or check out line, the merging lane, the bike lane, the bowling alley.

What kind of person are you attracted to? Intelligent...brilliant! Driven, focused, observant, kind, artistic, dark, humorous, athletic, socially aware & progressive, employed, friendly, calm, charismatic, well read. Or the wrong ones.

What is something you're looking forward to? The fruits of my labors. Future travels by bike, overseas and within the US. The growth of my nephews, the evolving projects of my friends, the reconstruction of a viable economic system that's sustainable and just.

Who’s someone you’d like to be trapped in a confined space with? Robert Downey Jr. or the Dali Lama (to keep me calm).

If I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would be: Condiments, definitely.

I consider myself an open-minded person, but my deal breakers are humorless and uninspired

The first section I turn to in the Mercury is ...Turn?

The quickest way to my heart is there is no quick way The quickest way to my bed is to unload the pile of clothes earlier in the day And in the morning, I like my eggs cooked in a clean skillet by a hot man.

The Thing I hate about Portland is? endless road construction The thing I love about Portland is? Hump fest & food carts & my friends

It's Sunday morning at 10 a.m. If I'm not still sleeping, I'm running, reading or tuned in to TAL.

The last concert/show I attended was... damn good.

My guiltiest pleasure is ranting.

Great sex calls for lots of water....and a little nap afterwards.

The last time I made an ass out of myself, I was in front of a class and did not give a damn.

My beverage of choice is whiskey served toddy.

If I could have any super power, mine would to speak every language on the turn of a dime.

When I die, I believe I will go into the great wide open doors of a furnace.

When I feel like shit, it to shall pass.

I wouldn't be who I am if I the west hadn't pulled me out of the prairie.

I wouldn't sell toxic assets for a billion dollars.
