ABOUT ME

I spend a lot of my time hanging out in parks around the city, reading underneath a tree. Sadly, this can only be done about four months out of the year in Chicago. The rest of the year, you'll find me at the Edgewater Library.

I will beat you at Guitar Hero and Scrabble. I will lose pretty much any other game.

Check me out on MySpace if you are insanely bored.
