-Hey, I'm CJ! I'm an aspiring graphics programmer/technical artist/game developer from Waterloo or Kitchener or somewhere in that area it's basically the same city. I like coding and animating and languages and computers and reading and music. I'm not like the other programmers, I avoid caffeine since 2022. i use arch btw but I'm not that lost yet I still (occasionally) go outside!! +Hey, I'm CJ!
