Linnea started playing the violin at the age of 5 because her babysitter did, and she thought her babysitter was really awesome. (Good thing the babysitter didn't tell her what that white stuff on her nose was...) Now she works teaching English and making a poverty-level salary, whereas her babysitter has gone on to an illustrious career as a fashion designer.

Still, Linnea has greatly enjoyed her life with music and is happy that it has continued to be a major part of her life. Having years of expreience playing the violin, she is now enjoying the challenges of playing the fiddle.

She is obsessed with bicycling, mutual aid, and corpus linguistics.
