About Me
- Name: MVL
- Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
I was born into an exciting era that turned horribly sour; I had great hopes when the Berlin Wall came down but saw those hopes dashed with the emergence of a new world militarism. I have two cats. I'm left-handed. I like sugar and spice and all things nice; I like speed (the quickness in travelling between two points and not the amphetamine); My hobbies are plotting long and hard to cheat death; mind-reading and the inevitable arguments that result; I'm also interested in creating a pocket-sized device to measure eternity (eternity is apparently not much bigger than we think). Favourite quote: "A 'paranoid' is only someone with all the facts" - WS Burroughs
