CURRENT MISSION

To make it out of life alive.

ABOUT ME

Spending my younger years mostly in Winnipeg, MB, and Fargo, ND, I moved to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities and have been here since. I've been a vegetarian for eleven years. Here's to hoping it balances out my other bad habits. After a few years working in a bookstore, I will be starting graduate school in September.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that I'm supposed to keep learning, in order to be useful in the event of an emergency.
