Chris

I often ponder perpetual motion.

About Me

Learning how to make quiche and custard tartletts. I'm totlaly into post-rock. I wear clothes with stripes. I love food. Fighting for justice in the world. Convinced that vinyl records are superior to CD's. I like to make my friends laugh. I like to help people. I know about wine, which is completely useless. I always have a pen with me. I love stationary. It's ridiculous how much I know about geography and international politics. Love to take naps. I read the Chicago Manual of Style for fun, bitch! I always need more cowbell. Took breakdancing lessons when I was a kid.
