About Me


Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™
I'm a bit of a neurotic. I could give Woody Allen a run for his money. If it weren't so socially inhibitive, I believe I might actually enjoy my neuroses. The same goes with my body image.
I'm unabashedly nerdy. I live for the moments when someone else "cooler" than I has a totally geeky moment about something unexpected, like spelling bees, or dance shows, or desk reference sets, or crappy pop music from the 90s, or [insert obsessive interest here].
On the other hand, I like to pretend to be sophisticated. I'm fascinated by snob culture, and I wish I could be more of a snob about tea or cigars or alcohol or organic foods or anything.
I dislike babies. I think middle schoolers are evil. I don't want any children of my own, but I think I'd enjoy teaching. Is that weird? Probably.
Nothing is sacred. I make jokes about anything and everything, and above all else I joke on myself. I don't think it's fair to laugh at others if you can't laugh about yourself.

Then you better not stay
But we could be safer
Just for one day.
