Affiliations

Love to learn random facts about the world - whether it be music, logic, math, time, or anything else that requires even the slightest level of complexity and variety. I enjoy assisting people through my knowledge, engaging in casual talk, and strive to always be the friend everyone can come to at the very end of the day. We all only live once, but we should never have to do it alone.
