Oh, sorry for posting such a short intro!
I am from Florida, but in my travels I have visited Illinois, Ohio, and New Mexico. I am no longer a student, and have been out of school for three years.
I have never hopped a train, but would love to at some point, and am reading up about it. (I read duffy littlejohn's book on the subject) I have hitchiked before, from haines city, fl to lake city, fl.
I laughed when you said meatosaurus. I guess I'm one of those. I have never been to pennsylvania or Arizona, but have wanted to go for a long time. As far as politics go, I don't get too involved, but by listening to Penn Jillette's videos on the subject, I have a lean towards Libertarian.
As for Ice cream, I love mint chocolate chip cookie dough.
I don't remember how I found this site, but I think it had something to do with trains. I was looking if there were any online copies of the Hobo's From Hell zines. That and There's Something About a Train.
