I'm very into Social Justice
I once ended a proof Q.U.E.D.
I Can't Spell.
I went to ecuador this summer, and loved it. And ever since i've been listening to Reggaeton in a vain attemtp to learn/remember spanish
I think scavagers deserve more respect
I love fair trade coffee
I'm annoyed that ..nin is not TeX code
Strange people make me smile. Actually, people make me smile. ...perfection never made anyone lovable, flaws are hot.
I'm a Unitarian Universalist
Some things that seem like reasonable responces to the question "do you believe in god?":
