This journal is:


It’s nothing personal. But my little sister surfs the internet, and I want to feel like I can post freely without worrying that every little detail about my life in college is going to get back to my parents. If you send me a comment, and I can be relatively certain that you are not a member of my family, then you’ll be golden and I’ll friend you back.

“But Samanthor,” you may find yourself asking. “However can I possibly know that I’m interested in friending your journal if I can’t read it before making a decision?” Well, how about you get to know some essential details about me first? Will that help you out?

Hi. My name is Sam Christopher. I am, at time of writing, twenty-two years old. I currently live and work on the Roseway, a 137-foot 1925 Schooner in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. I work for a program that uses sailing as a hands-on learning activity to teach history, science, math, and creative writing to students in St. Crucian public middle schools. I plan to work for several more years as a professional sailor before trying to break into script supervision in Hollywood. I love fantasy novels and postcolonial literature. I sometimes fangirl over India the same way some people fangirl over Japan, particularly over Indian lit. I answer to “Sam,” “Moo,” “Samanthor,” “Christopher,” and “Hey, You!,” but definitely NOT “Samantha.” I tend to write long, rambling posts about my day, complete with to-do lists and analyses of my life.

If asked to define myself, it’s pretty likely that I’d say, in no particular order, that I am a(n):
