About
Some random girl who spends too much time online, likes a lot of music, a lot, loves to cook--and eat, will travel for concerts and friends. Born in Vancouver, lived in Philadelphia and Montréal but I'm back home again.
Stuff I do well includes editing, proofreading, learning languages, naming that tune, and mad mad Jeopardy! skillz.
