Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

I live in Chicago. I love big cats but I am wary of very small dogs. I like the mountains (climbing them, not falling off of them). I love to cook. I read a lot. I'm really into movies. Netflix is not one of the six things I couldn't live without, but it's damn close. I engage in heated political debates with total strangers. Some might describe me as "uppity."

I also like drawing a lot...some serious stuff but mostly comics. I recently started a web comic. If you're interested, check it out: Paper Pills. I also write a regular film blog: Celluloitering
