About Me

What can I say? I come from a dysfunctional family. I feel like if my family collided with any Normal Rockwell painting, we'd end up cancelling each other out. Much to my father's chagrin. He's the Norman Rockwell fan in the family. Unfortunately, mum's not much better. She's the Thomas Kinkade fan in the family. Suicide sounds pretty good right about now, don't you think?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Mozart. Escoffier. Maria Callas during her prime. Linus Torvalds.
