About Me



I'm a total dork. I easily fall in love with everyone I meet. I'm fascinated by cogs and pulleys and other simple machinery. I chew gum constantly because I apparently have an oral fixation. I used to be a very good photographer until I discovered that paint-by-number coloring books and stick figures are not only a higher, but much easier form of art. I'm also an insomniac and have recently decided to teach myself Portuguese in the abundance of spare time that my sleeplessness has granted me. I sometimes catch myself judging others by their punctuation, and I think the bridge of "Live And Let Die" is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.

"you turned out surprisingly normal"

So I was driving with an old friend recently (whom I hadn't seen in maybe 7 or so years) when he said this to me. Actually, the exact phrase was, "I was talking to my mom about you the other day,...
