BIOGRAPHY
Well, I like long walks and poetry and watching sunsets. No, seriously, I do like those things on occasion, but, generally, I like movies, discovering cool new stuff to read and music to listen to, hanging out with fun, stimulating, intelligent, open-minded humans (and cats). Philosophically, I like to think of myself as a work-in-progress.
