About Me

I'll also be working in the computer music lab, once all the paperwork is filed (NEVER!). i try to live my life in a way that always makes me somewhat happy, isn't full of complete BS, and involves lots of "me" time. when it's not work or me time, i'm all about spending time with my g/f emily (who i never see enough :( or talking to peeps that live too far away from me to hang out with (shout-out to bff, blue boy, crazy poet chick, da animal, and little buddy). Also, special shout-out to all the gang from my former job. love ya all, ya crazy kids.
