2. have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?

I am not certain of the purpose of finding a writer who thinks just like you. I recommend instead finding writers who think better or more clearly than you, and learning from them.

11. describe your ideal day.

I have no immediate responsibilities. I take a walk with Navani, and we are so lost in one another that we lose track of time.

17. would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?

Yes. Perhaps a little too fair, if one goes back into the archives.

26. how would you describe your gender/sexuality?

I am a heterosexual male.

29. three songs that you connect with right now.

I don’t listen much to music, but I listen to The Way of Kings often. Navani plays a song that I appreciate, though I do not recall the name of it. 

The students here once introduced me to a film entitled Mulan. I approve of much of the music in that film.

Ask me the questions listed here.

I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
