About Me

I like to eat and I like to run. I like to hang out with my dog. I like reading Harry Potter and I have never lost a Harry Potter trivia game. I am really cool, obviously. I like to listen to music really really loudly, which probably sucks for my roommates. Especially when driving, loud music is a must. ESPECIALLY if John Denver is involved and your co-pilot is Nici Grigg and the two of you rocked a little town called Rochester Hills last summer. I think the most famous person I've ever seen in person is John Salley at Pioneer Place, who used to play for the Lakers back in 2000 or something, when the Portland/LA rivalry meant something. I'm a middle child and fit all the streotypes to a T. Above all, I really like to run and I really like to eat.Over break I was in the waiting room at the podiatrist and it was full of senior citizens and I basically caused this fight between two old men by tripping over this one guys foot.... Long story short they were pissed and one guy to the other was like "if I wasn't in so much pain I'd fight you outside" and the other guy was like "let's go" but the one guy had knee surgery and couldn't really walk. Ever seen old men fight? Me neither, but I almost did.
