: About Me

I'm a roving observer of life. Right now I study for a living, filling in my time with plenty of dancing and other artistic specialness.

I also like pina coladas and getting caught making dorky jokes.

My passion is ...

dance. art. quirkiness.

Why I write ...

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

My first job ...

My best moment ...

has, with any luck, not happened yet.

My inspiration ...

life? the universe? everything? ah! It's the question mark!
