I'm a junior at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor studying linguistics. I live at the Eugene V. Debs cooperative here in A2. Uh... I'm bad at About Me boxes.
I'm into linguistics, anthropology, music (I play guitar and sing, as well as listen to a vast variety), books (I read a lot), comics, film, vegetarianism, co-ops, politics, Buddhism, philosophy, and really anything that gets my attention.
(Actually, I already know these guys... but the band seriously rocks.)
