Music is the only thing I've really got going for me; it's who I am and what I do. I've been playing bass for since I was 14, and guitar since I was 15; with music in general, I started euphonium and music theory when I was 11. I quit band after my first year in college, but still buy theory workbooks to keep sharp with my other musical pursuits.
I'm an English major at U of M-Flint, with a focus on technical writing and literature.
Lastly, I'm a vegetarian, and have been for quite some time now. Good stuff.
