What I've been up to




























100 Things Few People Know About Me

  1. When I was very young, I had a cat named Spotty. I used to grab Spotty by the tail and drag him around the kitchen floor. My mom always stopped me, but when I did stop, Spotty would just roll around on the floor wanting me to drag him around some more.

  3. If I’m swimming in a lake and a fish comes anywhere near me, I will panic.
  4. In 1st grade, I made up a dance to the New Kids on the Block song “The Right Stuff” and performed it in the school’s talent show. It shocked the socks off just about everyone who knew me, because I’m usually very shy.

Better content coming soon. I promise. It will be way better than what's already here.






Where do I begin? I was born in 1983 in the great city of Cleveland, Ohio. I'm currently a student at The University of Akron, majoring in journalism, but thinking of switching to something else (maybe English?). I love writing. That's what I plan on doing with my life. And maybe find a little time to play my saxophone and guitar in between. I'm mostly single, but please don't try to ask me out because I can already tell you that I'm not interested (unless you're David Bowie).

I'm always updating my site, so please return as often as you like.

'ello!

Yippee. It's a picture of me. I bet you're excited. I know I am.

I think everybody should look like a Southpark character. You could too, if only I could remember the link to the site where you make these thingies.

Seriously. In the 2004 election, they were able to pass a law that says that unmarried couples cannot recieve the benefits that married couples can. And by married couple, they mean a man and a woman. And this doesn't just hurt LGBT individuals. It hurts any unmarried couple, whether they be gay or straight.
 
There's this saying we have in Ohio. The Wright brothers, inventors of the airplane, were from Ohio. John Glenn, the first man in space, was from Ohio. It looks like Ohio is a good place to leave.

If church was like this, I would go. Yes, I am a geek.

No Hands Kitty for President!
