For a concise and objective summary of my personality, please see the relevant tab.

Formative places: Grew up in the south; lived several years in the mid-west and abroad; Cambridge has been my home for the past five years.

Modes: My simple mind is easily seized by the world, easily enchanted by new places, things, and/or thoughts. I often spend my time thinking about serious (and possibly... ok probably boring) questions.

Hoisting freedom amidst constraint.
A full time student studying literature, history, and religion. I'm passionate about teaching and couldn't be happier than when in a classroom.
Igniting the in-betweens.

Is that eye patch fo real?

I like to read about philosophy, religion, Asian literature, economic history, ethics, emotion, and aesthetics (I'll spare you the titles). Anyone for bad Asian imitations of Western pop music? All foods are favorites except for apples. Movies: good and so bad it's good. Shows: currently watching "That Mitchell and Webb Look".

Lost in absurdity.

I was once contracted by a three letter organization.
