I would love to meet Dali, he's always been my favorite artist, and he's just such an [interesting] person.

What else should the world of Mibba know about you?

Not really. I'm rather awkward at talking to people, hence the reason I've been on Mibba for a year and am just now building up enough courage to be active.
