Feb 2012
I'm a soon to be Western University graduate from the Media, Information and Technoculture program (yes, technoculture is a word). There, I learned how to analyze and give meaning to all my favorite guilty pop culture pleasures.

Growing up, I wanted my life to replicate a John Hughes film. But, as life would have it, the only thing I have in common with the films I love is an accidental haircut as a preteen that left me looking as though I was straight out of the eighties.
What is unique that's not in your bio?
My front tooth is a cap due to an altercation with my sister when I was eight.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
Being able to quote the majority of Summer Heights High
How do you define cool?
Angela Chase from My So Called Life
What inspires or excites you?
The fact that Elle Fanning is younger and more successful than I am
Predict something awesome for 2020?
The resurgence of Electric Circus, all commodities being made via 3D printers, and a cryogenically frozen David Bowie
