| Introduction | What can I say about myself that hasn't already been echoed throughout space and time? I am just grabbing the world by the horns, saying "Hey world, check me out!" I was born and raised in Iowa and while I yearn to travel the globe, I have no desire to permanently leave the friendly confines of the Hawkeye State. I tend to act on random thoughts, which leads to things rarely getting done in a "point A" to "point B" fashion. I think Wikipedia is the greatest website in the history of history and I will spend hours looking up things that pop into my head, mostly because it appears my superpower is to remember as much useless knowledge as possible. |
