I'm an advocate for the homeless and currently work as a community organizer for a grassroots shelter provider in Seattle, WA.  I'm (relatively) new to this.  Before June 2006, I had planned on becoming a kindergarten teacher.  I went to the University of Montana and later transferred to and graduated from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA.  I took courses all over the place, from the sociology...

...Chicago afew times and yes i did see my fair share of different ethnicities but can there really be that many aliens living in those slums outside the city? That makes me wonder about the huge numbers of homeless people living in the country.  According to my public education instructor there are 12 million homeless children today in the united states.  That is outrageous.  What is being done about this...

 My clothes aren't very clean. I have this aversion to washing the clothes of my friends that I have found myself in posession of. Like I might accidentally ruin them. Or wash away their scent, their sole...their existence and connection to an otherwise impersonal object. Which doesn't really explain why I haven't washed the clothes I found in the dumpster last Monday and have been wearing everyday since.

A long time ago, in the city of Indianapolis, there lived a homeless man of undertermined nom de plume.  Since he only mumbled and what he mumbled made no sense, everyone just called him Mumbley.  Now Mumbly loved the Indiana Repertory Theatre.  He loved the pretty architecture, and the brand new terazo floors.  He loved the elevators and how they dinged.  And he especially liked that there were no...

So this morning coming home from work I was again greeted by boston forgotten society, but something was different. Generally even though the homeless here are well, homeless ninety percent of them are resourceful and know how to live right I guess you can say, like a street survivalist. This was different. This guy was sprawled out in broad view in front of the Tom Yum Cafe, nice clothes, no jacket...

...you!" and left. It was kind of awkward because no one ever really did that to me before, but I felt happy! :D Then later another guy came up to me to say "thank you." It felt so awkard how the homeless people come up to you just to say "thank you," but it makes you feel good I guess :) Ugh I smelled like lamb when I got back to my dorm.  I didn't even touch or  handle the lamb curry! The closest...

...at going to college. I changed my major last semester from an Occupational Certificate in Welding to a B.A. in music with a minor in theatre. I have lived all over the Mid-West and have been homeless three times in the last seven years. I have an apartment and a car, again. This time, I have friends who share a lot of my interests. With them, I help run a little off-the-wall, hole-in-the-wall...
