Hello and welcome to my userpage. I'm RA0808, but you can call me RA (/ɑːr./) if you like, and if you've come to this page chances are that I reverted an edit you made. If that is the case, and you believe that I made a mistake, please leave a message on my talk page by clicking this link and following the instructions, I will respond as soon as I can.

Thank You! ~RA0808


About Me

edit

A lovable nerd who likes reverting wiki-vandalism; Michael Crichton novels (only the older ones though); gaming; Canadian politics; the politics of Liechtenstein (you're as surprised as I am); cartoons (especially BoJack Horseman, Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and Steven Universe); The Great Canadian Baking Show; and other guys. Also recently back into anime thanks to Cute High Earth Defense Club Love! and Yuri on Ice.

I am a geographer and geomatics specialist by training, holding a Bachelor of Environmental Studies from the University of Waterloo and a Master of Arts from Brock University.
