Books
Reading is the perfect way to spend free time. You feel productive despite still not having done anything. I often read classic books more than anything. I have dabbled in some science fiction and a small bit of nonfiction, but I always return to the classics.
My favorite classics are dystopian. I love seeing authors imagine where they will see the world. In many ways it helps me get a better picture of their minds. Information like that is invaluable. I will never forget my emotions when I finished 1984. I was in absolute shock that the hero hadn't emerged victorious. That really shaped my own thoughts. I love analyzing everything I read and trying to find its place in the world. If you have any books which you have enjoyed, I would love to discuss them!

I am a folk musician and a Computer Science Major. I enjoy reading in my free time. I also enjoy writing letters. Letters compared to most mediums of communication have a sort of staying power. Seeing text written down in front of you and being able to hold a message is magical.

Jeff
I actually only want to meet Jeff if he is wearing a Jeff sweater. That is why I chose this image.
Felix the Cat before 1926. After 1926 he was given his cutesy modern look. The older design is cute in a way that resembles UglyDolls.
