Ashamed of: I forgot the definition of shame a long long time ago.

Proud of: Pretty much everything I do. I'm amazing!

Last embarrassed by: A guy yesterday was staring at me while I was singing in my car. That's a lie, but I can't think of anything. I don't embarrass easily.

What do you see out the window? I see Green St. in Pasadena.

Age: 24

Book(s) you're reading currently: I'm re-reading V for Vendetta by Alan Moore before the movie comes out.

Favorite picture you took in 2005:

Favorite picture (or two) of yourself:

Toughest thing you've ever done: Continued my freshman year of college even though I was so sick and weak that I could barely function in any normal capacity.

Toughest thing ever done to you: My two best friends were lying to my face, and when I finally called them on it, I lost both of them (thankfully one of them has come back).

Turning points in your life? (i.e. What are the chapter titles in the
book of your life?)
Chapter One: Our hero is born.
Chapter Two: Our hero dies.
Chapter Three: Our hero miraculously returns!
Chapter Four: Our hero goes to school.
Chapter Five: Our hero falls in love.
Chapter Six: Our hero gets a job.
Chapter Seven: Our hero dies, again.

Music you're hearing: The new Okkervil River record.

Thing you'd change about yourself: I'm just too damn sexy. I should work on that.

Scariest moment: I probably didn't realize it at the time, but when I drowned when I was three years old.

Favorite place: Florence, Italy.

I can't prove it, but… there will never be a band better than Pavement. Seriously.

George W. Bush must be… George H. W. Bush's son. Did someone already say that?

I can't stand it when… I have a clear thought in my head but don't have the words to articulate it.

I love it when… People laugh at my jokes. Or at me. Whatever.

Your best post thus far: Maybe this one?
