I'm another native Californian who transplanted to Oregon about ten years ago. Before that, I was lucky enough to travel and live around the world which taught me more than any book or classroom setting. I write because I'm too afraid to stage dive so putting my work online for people to read gives me almost the same feeling of jumping spastically in to an unnamed crowd. I just hope my work is good enough to surf the web for awhile...
