I am creative, unconventional, and sleepy.
My Self-Summary
-I enjoy useless facts and stories
For example: A sunken ship was brought to the surface in Japan once
by injecting it with millions of ping-pong balls - an idea the
engineer had seen on Loony Toons!
-I'm a songwriter/singer/musician who just released an album and a
UofT student (film studies, english, philosophy).
-I love music, film, good books, awkward conversations that end up
miles away from where they started, photography, writing and
nature
-I'm a vegetarian (but not a preacher)
-I want to travel more
What I’m doing with my life
-writing music, recording music, playing music, listening to music
(starting to sense a theme?!)
-going to school
-volunteering with The Stephen Lewis Foundation
-trying to get enough sleep
I’m really good at
-making music
-writing
-photography
-really bad puns
-procrastinating
