I am an overachiever.

I like to read and write. Just generally create. I'm a member of The Spork Room. I regularly do NaNoWriMo. I'm a homeschooler (sort of an unschooler...), and I take classes at the local community college. I play piano, and I'm learning to write music.

This year I'm starting the 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge.
