- Superpower: I'm a figment of Betsy's imaginations
- Interested In/Interests: My life is a video game. Hyde Park is only level 2. (Watch out for evil squirrels!) It has a really cool soundtrack, and I get points for finding ways to trick my roommates into cleaning, ignoring deadlines and not losing credit, finding lost change, avoiding eminent evictions from MAC, getting ambivalent strangers to stop and let me pet their puppies, not missing the bus, etc. The point of the entire thing is to avoid the future. So far, I am winning.
