Dude, you're such a good hacker.

About Me

I like good music a lot; it's my favorite thing in the world. I go to WSU, and it absolutely kicks ass. GO COUGS! I like to sit around and be boring a lot and imagine if I were famous or had superpowers, cool stuff like that. Sometimes I waste my time and play Halo 2 and do other nerd things. I also make "your mom" jokes at inopportune times, especially when they're undeserved. I'm uncontrollably sarcastic and cynical, and I think I'm one of the funniest people I've ever met. But I'm also a good guy, and I do well in school and I don't steal. I try to initiate increasingly louder chants of "(Someone) Sucks!" in hopes that strangers will follow and willingly join in. I like to start off questions with the phrase "On a scale of 1 to 10..." And for some reason I also think it's funny to call my family and friends Communists or say they read the Communist Manifesto in their spare time. When people ask me for small favors, I rub my fingers together and say, "Five Bucks." However, when I ask someone to do a favor, I'll offer them a nickel; if they refuse, I'll offer them slightly more nickels. One of my favorite things to do is pretend people are talking to me when they're on the phone and respond to them. I also find a lot of enjoyment in swearing at people in a Boston accent. I believe all minor disputes should be settled by a fight to the death. And I think legal ownership should be immediately transferred simply by pointing at stuff and calling it. I like to say people can't spell, or can't do long division. Should I stumble upon the most minor inconvenience, I like to say, "This is the worst day of my life." And if someone else makes a slight mistake, I like to say they ruined Christmas. I've been known to communicate via Family Guy, Dane Cook, Seinfeld, and Dumb & Dumber quotes. That's my thing, it's what I do.
"I can’t define it, I can’t tell somebody who isn’t a Cougar what it’s like. There’s something that happens at Washington State; you quietly and subtly become infected...Washington State is a passion. Being a Cougar is a passion." –Coach Walden
