Activities

I'm not into most "active" activities (like sports), but I don't just sit around doing nothing. I'm always going someplace, meeting new people, and trying new things. Most of the stuff I do tends to revolve around movies, books, comics, or music. Go figure.

Interests

Movies, really bad movies, books, kid's books, writing, graphic novels, Micronauts, British stuff, Mexican stuff, new wave music. Mostly quirky stuff that only I like.
