I'm also an Instructor Trainee, so I spend a lot of time teaching kids how to fight... kind of... Well now that the advertisements are out of the way, hmmm.... What else is there about me? well, I make LEGO animations using stop-action photography. That is frame by frame, picture by picture. I like to read. I don't really have a favorite author, I just read whatever my mom checks out of the library. yeah... thanks for letting me waste your time... |
