Update on my life so far...
Just in case you are behind on what I've been up to for the past 22 years I thought I would fill you in. Hopefully, we will be able to avoid this problem in the future now that I am officially a "blogger".
I was born on a Saturday, the 5th of May at 11:11 am. Swale won the Kentucky Derby and my parents won me. That was in Ridgewood, NJ.
When I was 5 I saw my first movie in the movie theater. It was Turner and Hooch and my mom covered my eyes when the old guy gets shot, but I knew it happened anyway.
At 9 I was attacked by a St. Bernard while riding my bike with my brother and dad in New York State. He didn't bite me but he scared the crap out of me and I cried.
On June 17, 1996 my family moved to Hendersonville, North Carolina. I cried then too. Also, my dog died that year. But the Yankees did beat the Braves in the World Series after being down 2-0.
At some point I read the Lord of the Rings and then read it again and then read it again.
There was a yo-yo phase, a Toy Story phase, an Age of Empires phase, and lots of other phases that phased out about as fast as they phased in.
Around my junior year of high school I heard Phish for the first time and haven't heard much else since. I also discovered that I enjoy festivals, backpacking, picking on my friends and eating sushi or sashimi.
2002 was a biggy. I graduated high school, worked in Yellowstone National Park for the summer, and then went to college at the University of Vermont.
Here I am 4 years later...
graduated but poor and not much smarter than I was when I went in, but now I'm in a juggling phase and also a traveling phase.
I'll try my best to keep you posted on my adventures. If you will excuse me I have to upload The Last Waltz onto my mp3 player.
