Kids are scary.

Obsessive, odd, knowledge-seeking (that counts as one word!).

10. Which book changed your life – or at least made you think a lot?
Voltaire’s Candide. I think it was such an impactful book in part because it was the first book I read in a class that put it into context—historically, artistically, politically, and culturally. It just made it that much more interesting. Plus it’s Voltaire, man, seriously.

11. Why do you blog?
It keeps me sane, believe it or not.

My life.

22. How clever are you?

My USB drive with all my stuff on it (drawings, writing, music, blogs, pictures, etc.).

Regretting my decisions, especially those I’ve made in the past couple of months (whether I wanted to or not).
