ABOUT ME

I cry during 90's "kids in baseball" movies. Eating Nutella out of the jar is perfectly acceptable. I'm awesome at Cranium. Assuming you live in my time zone, I finished the 7th Harry Potter book before you. I can fit a toothpick longways between my top and bottom front teeth. I hate vodka but I love whiskey. If you tell me your birthday and/or middle name, I'll likely remember it forever... I still remember those of people I knew as a child. I will correct your grammar. I'm terrible at basketball but I'm very good at beer pong. I aspire to one day own a pet pig. I love reading, and I will read the same book many times; however, if a new book fails to interest me after about a hundred pages, I will abandon it mercilessly. I am a slow learner who requires patient teachers. I can be witty and spontaneous, but I usually need to pick up on these things from other people first. I'm a person who shines when with other people. If you have had witty conversations with me, it is because you are that way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Sadly, I feel like I have very little to offer. I do, however, posses the following possibly worthless skills:
