About Me

I am one of the billions people who live on a planet that orbits an average star at the end of one of the Milkyway's spiral arms. I had my 15 minutes of fame in college as a cheerleader and am now seeking redemption for it as a graduate student. I am studying to be an astrophysicist and a science writer. I like anything absurd and people who are not afraid to show their inner weirdness.

I am also Mr. Canhead's primary photographer.

Personal Philosophy: Existence is a fragile balance between Achem's Razor and Murphy’s Law.

A Riddle
