Me in a Nutshell

I am originally from Texas, but currently live in Brooklyn with my very fat black cat, Prince. Some of my hobbies include writing, playing fantasy RPGs, watching home improving shows, crocheting, traveling, daydreaming about moving to the English countryside, and keeping up with all things k-pop (which also includes organizing local k-pop events).

*Please do not ask me about k-pop unless you are open to be converted into a hardcore k-pop stan.
