ABOUT ME

First and foremost ignore the rugged photo, that's me not having shaved for six months (yes, I grow little to no facial hair). My friends would say that I'm funny, goofy even, never let anything get to me. An intellectual but sort of a smart-ass, however never crossing any lines. Polite, kind, but mostly awkward- usually in humorous ways.

Interests

I love to draw. If you were to look at my school notes there would be more drawings by volume than actual notes. I love chess and I'm pretty good at it. I also love tennis and while I'm mediocre at the sport you will find that put so much heart into it that I've been known to beat players well above my skill level. I like television but only a select few programs. To these I am loyal to the end, like the Drew Carey Show and Dragon Ball Z, which I still watch long after they've removed from regular TV schedules.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

That's a tough question. When I was in Mexico I saw the biggest moon ever! In the U.S. I beat my nemesis in a chess tournament final taking first place and ultimate bragging rights. Most recently I was taking an Ancient Philosophy course and had backed myself into a corner where the only way I could get an A in the course was to ace the final with a 99 to 100 percent A, which looked bleak because the questions that appeared on it were not the ones I had studied. Also this teacher was a real harsh grader. Thinking I had tanked it I later found out that I got an A in the course and therefore that unicorn-like 99-100% A on the final!
