I am precise, sharp, and Canadian.
My Self-Summary
i like music. especially live music. i frequent
pop/indie/electronica shows, but i'm open to most anything.
festivals are especially amazing. discovering new music makes my
day.
i like reading. i read before bed every night. previously had
limited myself to mostly fantasy / sci-fi, but have recently been
working my way through books often found on "top 100" lists.
i like video games. and board games. and card games.
i have a job. i don't love it, but i don't know what else i'd
rather be doing anyway.
myers-briggs thinks i'm an istj. a reasonable assessment.
i own two cats. i'd like to own a dog, but probably not until i buy
a house with a yard; leaving a dog alone in my apartment for ten
hours or more a day seems cruel.
What I’m doing with my life
living it.
I’m really good at
solving problems.
The first things people usually notice about me
