About Me

I'm one of the lucky interns at the Austin Chronicle who makes up the Chrontourage, the promotions group that reps the paper. Sometimes overly-enthusiastic, big fan of comics, animation, tv, radio, movies, and random trivia. I'm actually pretty mellow, but i don't hide it when i'm happy. I love comedy, but i'm much better at laughing at jokes than making them. I am protected.
