About me

Industry Student
Occupation Currently undertaking a Masters in Religious Studies
Location Canada
Introduction I am incredibly curious, and that curiosity is coupled with some personality quirks that always make my life interesting. I avoid lying and it bothers me when other people do it - you can imagine my issues with the media. My idealism is writ large on every pore and is frequently expressed. I cultivate very few social filters; although I find my life enriched by this, I know it can put people off. I fall in love easily, with ideas, people, places, things... I am at heart a present-tense hedonist and I am on a crusade to convince others to embrace the moment.
Interests People, culture, creative processes, cooking, baking, feeding other people, reading, painting, writing, exploring, gender, religion, art, debate... it's never ending.
Favorite Movies Howl's Moving Castle, Ever After, Life is Beautiful, Wall-E, How to Train Your Dragon, Spirited Away, Valentin
Favorite Music I must confess, I am a sucker for lyric driven music of just about any genre. Routinely appearing on my playlists are Jann Arden, April Wine, Barenaked Ladies, The Corrs, Great Big Sea, David Usher... really, I'll try anything once. And I welcome suggestions. New things are awesome!
Favorite Books Where to start... I love fiction and fantasy. Terry Pratchett, especially Small Gods or Wyrd Sisters; Mercedes Lackey, especially the Serpents Shadow. Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. Jose Saramago's The Gospel According to Jesus Christ; Christopher Moore's Lamb... Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, The Journal Fodder Junkies Workshop and cookbooks beyond measure.

If your whole body were a hot air balloon, would you stop eating spicy food?

Of course not. Life as I know it would cease to exist without spicy food!!
