Aside from being omniscient and infallible, I am also the worlds most greatest linguist. Actually I am a 22 year old living in Montréal. I came here a few years ago from a mystical far away land seeking treasure..er.. postsecondary education. The city wooed me with its charm, music, and festivals and i've been here since. With that in mind, I love music. Going to shows is one of my favourite things to do. I also enjoy movies, art and literature; true story.

Though you might not guess it from my generic-sounding self-summary, I am a pretty random person. Not to say that I'm fickle so much as I enjoy spontanaiety and most of my favourite memories stem from unplanned nonsense that unfolds in the moment. I like walks with no purpose and large bodies of water, and I love escaping civiliation for a short while before returning to the comforts of technology.

More generally speaking I am a pretty compassionate person and I am very honest (possibly to a fault). Art in it's many forms is important to me, and I always try to keep an open mind.

I am secretly from Ontario and my french not-so-secretly sucks, but i'm still working on it.

I spent a while studying Linguistics in University but I wasn't passionate enough about the field to keep at it. I got into the video game industry a couple years ago and am currently working as a Project Lead for a QA consulting company while working on a portfolio for a level design or 3d animation program next year.

I believe strongly in games as art, and the gap between the two is something i'd like to help bridge. The potential for storytelling and expression through interactive media is endless and games have an unmatched capability for creative democracy, allowing the consumers of media to be the protagonists and architects of their own experience. Also, they can be pretty fun ;)

I'm good at writing. I'm a whiz with all things computers. I'm creative in general and I excel at problem solving. It's hard to explain what i do at work but I'm pretty awesome at it. I also kick ass at video games of pretty much any type, possibly a side effect from my occupation.

Either my towering height or the tattoo on my forearm. (ooh, mystery)

1. Ipod or Iphone - Preferably the latter for all its wonderful internets and such, but i like having some sort of music with me on the go.
2. My computer - all hail the almighty internets.
3. Shows - If I don't get to a show often enough my body goes into intense physical withdrawal. Well, that's a lie. But still. Gotta have my show fix.
4. Food.
5. Water.
6. Shelter.

Yes, I realize the last three are total cop-outs. If I think of anything else I'll adjust accordingly.

More than likely out at some bar or another with friends or out at a show. That's not to say i don't spend the occasional friday chilling out and having a movie night or something. Like I said though I'm a bit spontaneous, so a random trip to a cottage somewhere or attending a makeshift dinner party would not be too out of the ordinary.

If i put private information in a public profile it would hardly be private anymore.

This is my second shot at Okcupid. I used to be on here as alkimia

If you're nice, easygoing, and think we might get along based on the above. Intelligence is a plus. Spontanaiety is definitely a perk. An appreciation for awesome music and an open mind are good qualities.

Also if you want to go see a show..

Or you want to know what my tattoo says..

Or you vehemently disagree with something I've said here..

Basically, message me if you feel like it.
