Born in North Carolina, grew up in Los Angeles, moved to Montreal to attend university after 8 years in Oakland. My relocation hasn’t been all that it’s cracked up to be and I’ve had some difficulties adjusting but I’m hopefully past the worst of it, trying to reestablish myself and focus on my education again: Mechanical Engineering, ultimately doing research and development of alternative/renewable energies.
I’m relatively serious with a penchant for sarcasm and at times can be bullheadedly stubborn…some friends would also add prudent/reserved. But I do have a pretty healthy sense of humor (centered around crass comedians, dead baby jokes, fart jokes…inane humor in general), love to laugh even with my tendency toward melancholy and have an ongoing fascination with death, destruction and the downward spiral of ‘humanity’. I love art both visual and aural.
I like to eat well and enjoy cooking, especially for others. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years but I've gotten over being militant about it in regards to other people eating meat. Although, I do think there needs to be more awareness of where our food comes from and how it's processed, the adverse effects on the environment and our bodies. Currently teaching myself about natural skin and hair care.
Those who try to impose their ideals/beliefs on me will get the sharp side of my tongue. Slow to anger, but once it happens, watch out. Dishonesty is also a big no-no and something that will surely incur my wrath.
I love my friends and am fiercely loyal. Being far away from them has made me appreciate having them in my life all the more. I am easy to get along with and if someone needs help I'll do whatever I can but don't try to take advantage or mistake my niceness/caring for weakness.
