Oh, you're still here? Well, I'm simply flattered. Here's a little more information about me if you're still interested.
Hobbies
  • In our free time, my significant other and I enjoy making cheesy birthday songs for our family.
  • We also hope to someday start a small card business, named 'Cards Made With Love' as per my Father's suggestion.
  • I will also shamefully admit to having read the entire Harry Potter series...several times.
Other Talents
  • Drawing and Painting (I'm not going to art school for nothing.)
  • I have studied classical guitar for about 6 years now.
  • Photography, and messing about with old cameras and expired film.

Thank you, and have a nice day.
