It’s hard to write a modest, likeable profile that’s a true representation of who you really are, and even harder to write anything that doesn’t open you up to ridicule. This is why I shy away from them in every online space I have. But here I’ll attempt to fill that void with some first-date-style information that may give you a better picture of who I am.
The basics…

quote: ‘I mean, what is burglary, after all, if not the sincerest form of flattery? Anyone could say, “What fantastic and expensive items you have! Oh, how I wish they were mine!” But I have proven my sincerity by going that extra mile and actually robbing you.’
place: Paris, Trocadero on a summer evening, watching the sun go down, listening to Head Automatica and eating a nutella crepe
