About Me

I studied linguistics and heuristics at school, and ended up taking a job in tech. Currently I'm a computer dork at a company that handles 1/4 of the world's internet traffic statistically. That a lot of porn. My favorite fruit are mangoes. I have a black cat with ninja training. I live in a cute little hippy-yuppie neighborhood of Seattle called Wallingford. I am neither a hippy nor a yuppie. I speak french fluently, and spent a year living in Grenoble, France. I don't watch TV, but am totally addicted to Netflix, and play video games. Lots and lots of video games.
