A few random things.
- While at college, I volunteered at a center for developmentally disabled children. That's where I first met my wife, who was volunteering, too.
- In fifth grade, I sprained my ankle playing hacky sack.
- I main a DPS in a JRPG MMO.
- In sixth grade, I was called into the counselor's office when the school administration found out I played Dungeons & Dragons. I wonder if the Stranger Things gang had to deal with similar persecution? LOL
- Recently, I sprained my arm doing a parkour roll, off a jump from like four feet high. I consider it a success. I'm just old.
- Some of my writing influences are Kurt Vonnegut, Hayao Miyazaki, Tahereh Mafi, and George R. R. Martin.
