I am an information junkie and I want to know everything. From what you had for breakfast all the way up to the meaning of life. No fact is too trivial. I will not, in all likelihood, ever use the vast majority of this information, but I’m ok with that. The first 22 years of my life were spent in a seriously oblivious state, so I may just be compensating for that. I also enjoy talking about myself a great deal. It’s what I know best….

In the spirit of Douglas Coupland’s Microserfs, my seven Jeopardy! categories would be:
- Literature prior to 1970
- Seducing Women
- “Grunge” music
- Star (Wars|Trek)
- IRC
- Avant-gard musical theatre
- Gadgets
