About Me


I'm smarter than a lot of people. I like to read classic literature and watch art films so that I can talk down to people about them, and I listen to indie rock so that when people ask me what bands I like I can name plenty of them that they won't know. And, I like to read the book before I see the movie so that I can complain about how much better the book is afterwards. Oh, and actually, I'm not laughing with you, I'm laughing at you.
Generally speaking, I am on the shorter side of tall and the quieter side of loud. I tend to be somewhat sarcastic.
Words to live by: "I like boring things. But that doesn't mean I'm not bored by them." - Andy Warhol
