About me

Gender Male
Introduction I'm a public librarian who works with children and teenagers...so...yeah, there's never really much of a dull moment. ...I also really like Super Mario Kart.
Interests music, books, rivers, movies, collecting quotes from unsuspecting passersby, pie, not smelling bad, Europe, taking a stand against people who wear those dumb looking boots when the weather is warm, chess, black coffee, red wine, white chocolate, and people that don't take themselves too seriously
