SHORT ANSWER:<\/strong> I\u2019m a singer (allegedly), writer, part-time beastmaster, full-time nerd, bargain hunter, coffee enthusiast, math survivor, dog devotee, and unlicensed superhero. Also known to shake a little booty, strum a guitar, bang some drums, and conquer the occasional dish pile. Still undefeated.<\/p>\n\n\n

LONGER ANSWER:<\/strong> Some of the photos I post here aren\u2019t mine. Shocking, I know. Turns out I didn\u2019t personally take every breathtaking landscape on the internet. I just enjoy beauty and dumb stuff that makes me laugh until I question my life choices. As for passion? Still looking. Math was my first love, but numbers don\u2019t exactly cuddle back. So now I chase after pretty pictures and graphics\/art\u2014basically my witness protection program from proofs and equations. Expert level? Please. I\u2019m still pressing random buttons and calling it \u201ccreative expression.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music, though\u2014that\u2019s my real soft spot. I adore the people who make it, sometimes with admiration, sometimes with pure, unfiltered jealousy. I play the guitar and drums with enough passion to convince myself I\u2019m good\u2014and enough noise to convince the neighbors otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yes, I\u2019m a critic. Of everything<\/em>. It\u2019s my gift\u2026 and my curse\u2026 and also the reason I have fewer friends at brunch. I\u2019m blunt, brutally honest, and allergic to sugarcoating. So if you ask me whether those pants make your butt look big, brace yourself\u2014you\u2019re not getting Hallmark-level comfort, you\u2019re getting Yelp review energy.<\/p>\n\n\n
