I'm a Queen's grad, have a huge and loving family and am insanely loyal to my friends. I will forever back the Toronto Maple Leafs, regardless of how terrible they place in the standings, I love playing any type of sport imaginable, and am up for just about any adventure. I love to read, write, watch movies, hang with friends (sober or otherwise), shop (a little too much) and surf the net (obvs).
I think social networking and media are amazing, inventive, intriguing and I am generally fascinated by everything about it.
