Currently in Japan..

I am an uprooted New Yorker currently residing in Shikoku, Japan. My vocabulary is that of a toddler so I have the daily challenge of making people believe I am, actually, not a child. I find happiness in photos, writing, Italy, calvin and hobbes comics, Latin, ancient history, limericks, video games, sarcastic comments and baking cakes. The End.
