CuriousCharb
Interests: I love learning about anything and everything: from permaculture, writing music and jamming on a full drumset, to neuroscience, chemistry in cooking (yes, IN cooking), boxing and taichi.
I've had an eclectic taste ever since I was a kid and so ended up being both a jock and a nerd in high school. For instance, I was on the basketball team, the wrestling team, and the chess team, and I was enrolled in enriched maths and science programs.
All this and I was still making time for the saxophone (alto), billiards, card games, biking, tae kwon do and folkloric dancing. Many years have passed since then and this curious attitude has only grown hungrier!
