• I never understood why n⁰ = 1; this has always felt like a fundamental character flaw.
• I empathize with “otherkin,” and am very fortunate not to have heard of the phenomenon when I was a sad, lonely 14-year-old.
• My comfort movies include Anne of Green Gables, Love Actually, and Newsies. Edit: Also Studio Ghibli’s “Whispers of the Heart,” which I can’t believe I forgot to list first.
• I watched the first two episodes of Fooly Cooly and failed to see genius where so many others seem to.
• One of my greatest joys in life is a good role-playing game session.
• I don’t know enough about any given medium to be a really effective snob about it.

I have fond memories of getting talk‘d on the VMS/Alpha machine back at CEC, and sometimes I wish I could just substitute a really nice .plan for my personal homepage.
