About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be a very awesome guest for a very awesome person with a couch.

ABOUT ME

I believe that I'm a product of the societies in which I've participated. Thus, I am a BXV-ilian, an SYA-er, a P2SF-er, a MOHO, and an LSE-er all tied up into one relatively small ball of smiles. (I'm listing them out to see if anyone else knows of these programs/places!) If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'd love to meet you and explain what all those acronyms stand for, and in doing so I hope I will learn all about you as well! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Fix the mind on truth; cling to virtue; give play to loving-kindness; recreate yourself with the arts." The Analects

Interests

(1) The endlessly amazing musical works of the Romantic Era. (2) Stages. ie. being behind them, above them, on the sides of them, at the foot of them, on them and facing them. (3) Moving fast on two wheels.
