Are you normal enough to breathe it in, breathe it out?

About Me

I just finished school at Indiana University Bloomington as an undergraduate honors student in sociology . I just moved to Seattle to attend Law School so I can help out the CBLDF and the WTA .

While in Bloomington, I ran a Transhumanist discussion group, co-organized a monthly dark dance night called Axis , worked at the Runcible Spoon , and still had time for friends. I'm looking forward to leading a similarly interesting and full life here in Seattle.

My Interests

Music, new things, Sim City and Starcraft, technology!, comics of varying types, driving long distances, and wind blowing through trees. Cheesy movies are good too.
