I have all major/minor appendages, both lungs, 20/20 vision, and working taste buds.

I like to bake, sit in parks and people watch, read comics/graphic novels, go to museums and galleries, read the 'missed connections' section on craigslist, and discuss politics (please be liberal).

I'm a graphic designer. I'm a little too obsessed with fonts, graphic design history, illustration, etc.

I also write, take photos, and attempt to create music, albeit quite poorly.
