I am here for Friends

About Me

I am completely obsessed with crossword puzzles. It's getting to Sheldon/Hilary Duff levels of obsession. Except crossword puzzles have been around for more than 18 years.
You know why I love crossword puzzles? Because I'm so good at spelling. Ask Sabrina about me and spelling. She'll have a funny story to tell you.
I can't tie my shoes. I teach first grade and I can't even tie my own shoes. I use the bunny ears system and it fails every time. Yet I'm too stubborn to learn the real way. So if you see my tying my shoes just know it's a temporary fix, I'll be doing it again in 5 seconds.
I always underdress for the weather. When the first nice day of the spring happens in March I switch to short-sleeve shirts and shorts and refuse to go back even when it's 30 degrees outside. So I'll end up freezing and looking more red-faced than Leahy after picking up the paper from his driveway on a sunny day.
I grew up in North Babylon...hey...why are you offering me drugs all of a sudden? No, I don't want to go to a hardcore show with you.
Ralph from the Howard Stern Show goes to my gym. Sometimes I'll be listening to Howard Stern on my iPod, and Ralph will be on the show, and he'll be working out 5 feet from me. It's a surreal moment.
I have 2 friends who are police officers. One of them used to dress up in a gorilla suit to go to the movies, and the other one used to sit in English class and give everyone in class pro wrestler aliases behind their back(like, "Rob is Shawn Michaels, and that girl is the Undertaker"). I won't be running any red lights in Long Island.
I'll admit it, I like that new Gwen Stefani song. Which one? All of them, they're all catchy as hell.
One time I got mentioned in one of Blake's bulletins. I know what you're thinking, Blake NEVER sends out bulletins, but I swear it happened.
What's worse...being called a loser by a 7-year old or not being able to think of a good reason why he's not right? Like, "Hey I'm not a loser, I love video games!" Or, "Hey I'm not a loser, I do crossword puzzles!" I still haven't thought of a good response.
