exposant 42

Hello, my name is Alex!

I like poetry, hair, patterns, 8-bit stuff, languages (especially lojban), flowers, and just people in general.

I'll also frequently post homestuck, Pokémon and Adventure Time stuff.

I like all kinds of music (Los Campesinos!, La Dispute, James Blake, Geotic, Weezer, Nicolas Jaar, Death Cab For Cutie, Brother Android, Pink Floyd, Anamanaguchi, My Chemical Romance, These New Puritans and many more).

I make art sometimes too!.
