I grew up in the bay area of california, never moved, and it was a very nice, quiet, peaceful town. Went to public schools up to Jr. High, and then went to The Harker School, a renown private high school. I now attend Brandeis University in Boston.
I like to watch people, hear their stories, listen to their perspectives and opinions. I like looking out of the passenger window of a car into traffic and seeing the people in their cars driving somewhere to do something.
CEASE FIRE!
I am a Mac user. Currently I am using a 12" g4 titanium powerbook, and a 21" imac, and an XO laptop for travelling.
I am semi-ambidextrous. I write with my left hand. I throw with my right hand. I use chopsticks with my left hand. I use knives with my right. I can use scissors in both hands.
