I'm an american born, canadian educated 23 year old living who is about to start a new chapter of his education-- in London.

There are times that I wonder whether or not I was born in the right period, because at age 5 my favourite songs were "Bigmouth Strikes Again" by the Smiths and "Lost in the Supermarket" by the Clash because I liked the word bigmouth and sympathized with the latter.

Also who the hell can come up with three words to describe oneself?

I studied English/Politics in University and now i'm about to start an MA in Screenwriting though I'm also a theatre director.

fixing computers, anything that has to deal with wrenches and lighting instruments, I used to study opera performance and music composition before I realized I hated acting personally but loved figuring out how to get other people to do it well and together but I think I'm pretty good at the whole directing thing.

I'm tall. Without facial hair I look teenaged (I guess that will be good when I'm 30?). I speak with my eyes a lot. Apparently my students could tell when I was REALLY happy with their work by how obviously I smiled (I taught secondary school for the last year.) I hope I'm not that obvious...

My laptop, my ipod, something to read, friends/family, my mobile phone, and probably a significant portion of my body? you really need it to survive until they come out with that head in a glass vile thing from Futurama...

what the hell i am doing with my life. maybe that quarter-life crisis thing is coming a bit early but i say bring it on.

if you watch Doctor Who, there's an alien race from Season 4 called the "Adipose." I may own an adipose baby stuffed animal. It's the cuddliest thing ever.

Deal with it.

you're vaguely sane?
