About Me

CURRENT MISSION

go someplace with really good cheese.

ABOUT ME

I have some wonderful friends who love me very much, they would tell you all the good things about me! They would say that I am fun, and friendly, and kind, and they would probably also say that I am random and funny.

Interests

I like peanut butter banana toast and coffee, I am a big coffee drinker.
I am interested in literature, writing, comic books, music, and art in general. I have mostly studied American and British poetry. I must be honest, I haven't read Paradise Lost yet. It is on the top of my reading list when my school readings lighten up a bit.
