Alex
Photo Curator
Alex is a twentyone-year-old Linguistics major who can often be found ranting incoherently about Homestuck and Sherlock at his blog on Tumblr (which, unfortunately, must remain hush-hush). He is gradually learning the art of fending off cat attacks while simultaneously writing research papers. He likes punctuation and caps lock and having emotions at fictional characters. He also maintains a rather rambly Twitter feed (@cumbersuffix), if that’s the sort of thing that floats your boat.
