Julian Mei hails from the faraway land of Virginia. He would like to thank his family for their combined inspiration in the creation of the lovelorn mess that is Rotunda. Rotunda and Julian would both like to offer a word of advice to those who suffer from unrequited love; when your therapist says "money and romance are not that important", do not pay for your session.
