ABOUT ME

I am somewhat strange. I don't mind. Sometimes, I learn things, inconsequential things, only because they could be useful if I ever became a spy. Not that I want to: I don't. But you never know.
I enjoy being alive. I feel joy about a lot of random things. Little things, usually.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in evolution. I think if you're going to do something a lot, you might as well get better at it. Like living. Also that if you can't do what you love, you should try to love what you do, or stop and start something else quick before you go crazy, or resentful, or dead.

Interests

I am fascinated by human communication, its shortcomings and splendors. Hum... I love languages, more like: words! I love words. I have a comic book collection leaning towards dark humor, have lots of books on science I have never fully read and lots of notebooks full of drawings and collages. I like colours. I like patterns. I love seeing a beautiful problem, strategy and deduction, improvisation and fighting spirit.
