What Kind of Nerdfighter Are You?

a romantic, musical, bibliophilic whovian

About Me:

quiet and reserved before I meet people, rambunctious and loving afterwards. Musician - vocal performance major, composer, aspiring conductor, love musicology and theory. Love reading, literature, poetry, cosmology, the mechanics of physics, nature, the pacific northwest, photography, painting, piano/guitar/cello, baking/cooking, weddings, learning, and many other things.
I also love grammar, and recognize that my last statement isn't actually a sentence.
