CURRENT MISSION

Figuring this whole CS thing out

ABOUT ME

I somewhat detest writing personality descriptions (adjective-alert!), but to give a fairly accurate impression: I'm open-minded and considerate, relaxed, cheerful and honest. And good for a laugh, especially if you can appreciate sarcasm! I like doing anything creative and don't bother with drama. You may or may not appreciate some of the Britishisms I've picked up when living there =)

I don't smoke. Oh and I wish I had a dinosaur pet to ride around the city on.

PHILOSOPHY

Apart from the more obvious "live life to the fullest" and "be yourself", I think relativism is a really important thing to keep in mind. Well, relatively important. "The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
