What Lights Me Up

“I love animals, especially our two dogs, and playing sports, especially soccer and swimming. I’m always building things out of Legos. Oh, and Marvel superheroes are my favorite—I’ve seen every movie, and collect some comics too.”

We’re trying to build a case against Loki—it’s tricky though, because so is he.

Today I played a tough game of chess with my roommate. Don’t believe what he says– I let him win.

It doesn’t take long to fall asleep. The sooner I do, the sooner I can wake up for another day at EXPLO!
