about me
I once won at authonomy, so obviously I am a god.
I am short, skinny and Scottish. I am fascinated by travel, languages, books and sitcoms and have an admiration for Bruce Springsteen that borders on the religous.
My years of semi-gainful employment have been spent abroad. First I worked as an English teacher in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, and for the last four years I have been living in Germany where I teach English and Sociology at a university. I am also employed as a lexicographer, working on dictionaries, textbooks and language software for an educational publisher.
