| Introduction | I was born on Halloween. According to some of my closest friends, I look Greek, though my heritage is actually German, Scottish, Native American, and various tidbits of other nationalities. I just graduated from the University of Missouri with a BJ in Magazine Journalism and a BA in International Studies with a focus in European Studies. I'll be heading to Syracuse University in July for grad school - getting my MA in Arts Journalism. Every few months or so, I create a new journal in hopes that it will spark up some innovation. This one has been updated fairly sporadically, but when I need an outlet, it's a place of release. |
