Faisal is an aspiring philosopher and lawyer, though he has not gotten around to writing the bar just yet. He lives with his partner, Amelia, and two cats, Frankie and Miso, in Toronto's West End.
Faisal loves to cook.
He does not really do sports anymore, but he maintains a workout regimen consisting mostly in basic calisthenics, and he runs seasonally. Faisal has recently taken up sewing so that he can alter, repair and eventually make his own clothes. Music has always been important in Faisal's life. He goes through phases, but he always returns to classic rock, psychedelic and stoner rock, indie, and synth-heavy 80s music. Some of his favourites have included (in no particular order) Deafheaven, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, the National, Arcade Fire, and the Arctic Monkeys. He would like to start listening to more classical music. |
Faisal enjoys reading classics of fiction. This includes primarily 19th-century Russian and English literature but increasingly also 20th-century and contemporary American literature. Major works of fantasy, like The Lord of the Rings (and others by Tolkien), A Song of Ice and Fire, and Harry Potter are longtime favourites.
