About Me

Interests: reading, camping, backpacking, photography, surfing, scuba diving, skiing, stargazing, travelling, board games, cooking, skating

Favorite Books: Fantasy. Fiction, science fiction, and fantasy that pretends to be fiction. Science that borders on fiction? Yes. Fantastical fiction. Scientific fantasy. I think you get the idea.

Likes:  Roasted salmon, sarcasm, fruits, puppies, chocolate (oh god), heights, fireworks, oven-roasted tomatoes, subtlety, nature, oven-roasted vegetables, the color red, meaningful silences & artful metaphor, oven-roasted anything really, internet cables, and entertaining plots.

Dislikes:  Vegetable seeds, dentists, zeroes, Republicans, bacon  (ugh), conflict, esoteric desserts, the open ocean when viewed from underwater, overly chatty people, slow wifi, spicy food, unnecessary cynicism.

What, or who, is your mortal nemesis? Feelings give me hives, and anyone who calls me out for thinking of children as vicious, fatheaded little ankle biters can eat my jeans. And - yeah, either 2% milk or root beer. Both are practically war crimes.

Countries you've visited:  Canada, US, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Venezuela, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand.

What would constitute a perfect day for you? Cheerios cereal, vanilla yogurt, an apple, and either jam toast or a bowl of porridge first thing in the morning before a cup of disgustingly sweet English tea, and some poetry during the sunrise. A few hours of intensive exercise around noon because reasons, an afternoon spent improving my piano and French skills, then refining my talent with the oven for dinner before proceeding to spend the rest of the day undisturbed stuffing my face with low-quality chocolate, reading some really nasty porn and generally being absolutely useless.

Dreams for the future:  visit Japan Olympics 2020 (hype!!), prosthetics engineering, writing, a second language, a small & homely house

What's your life mantra? I'll give you two:

"Give fresh water to the one who catches fish." - Gen Urobuchi

and

"You cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening your own." - Ben Sweetland
