How I accidentally started going to therapy

So this one’s a bit personal.

How I accidentally got hooked on Critical Role

I started watching Critical Role because I couldn’t sleep.

How I accidentally got addicted to Dragon Age

While I’ve been playing video games for a long time, I didn’t get properly into them until I was in high school. Growing up, our house had a Nintendo 64 and a GameCube, so Nintendo games were a staple of my childhood: my brother and I delighted in kicking our mom’s butt in Mario Kart; it was always a serious endeavour to sit down and puzzle out the latest dungeon in Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker; and when my brother and I had a disagreement, we’d settle it with Super Smash Bros. Melee.

(Fun fact: Pokémon Snap was the first game I ever played – and the only Pokémon game I’ve ever touched, unless you count Pokémon Go I guess. Oops.)

How I accidentally found UCM

The first person I met on campus at UBC was a Christian, and it’s because we were introduced by my atheist father.

How I accidentally joined The Exchange

I’ve been going through my old journals recently. It’s a fun thing to do from time to time; I get a glimpse of the person I was – fifteen years ago, seven years ago, six months ago – and it’s interesting to see how I’ve changed. Re-reading my diaries is always an enlightening experience. Sometimes I remember inside jokes, sometimes I rediscover an important moment that stuck out to me at the time, and sometimes it’s just hilarious to see how atrocious my spelling used to be.

Love Comes in Threes

There are three great loves in my life: reading, writing, and video games.

I know that sounds absolutely cliché and maybe it kind of is, but bear with me now. This is my first post and so I thought I’d help you get to know me by telling you about the stuff I love.
