Ned the Magnificent

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Most 4 year-olds find me very funny. I walk to work everyday regardless of the weather. My balance is exceptional, but I cannot ride a unicycle. I like the words “Macaroni” and Bubblewrap.” Peanut butter and Chocolate . . . I like them both, but not together. Yesterday I ate an entire bag of almond m&m’s. One day I might run away and join the circus . . . or start my own. I am a burlesque dancer.
