i just purchased an iPhone 4. which means i will have a super new mobile device. even more super, perhaps, than the one i had before. and it's 32gb! - 23 November 2010, 4:27am

my cute WIFE just got a new unlocked iPhone 3Gs! very exciting. - 23 November 2010, 4:27am

I write and file TPS reports for a living. - 10 August 2009, 7:05pm

'tis i, THE lowly peon! i am a computer geek for a ginormous manufacturing company based in houston. houston is surely not my favorite place on earth, but the company is soon sending me to china! i am very excited about this. i like apple computers, and i like web development. i like good music. if you're curious about specifics, just know that no one has better musical taste than i, unless, of course, it is identical. i'm a big sap for cheeesy love songs. i also like good movies. people tend to disagree with me about what movies are good. i'm also a sucker for sappy love movies. i have an idea of my "best self" (to use ethan hawke's words in before sunset), and sadly, nearly every aspect of that "best self" conflicts with every other aspect. thus, my mind tends to be all over the place. i like to think i'm a jack of all trades, and i'm surely a master of none. and just remember: the sun's not yellow; it's chicken. - 09 August 2009, 6:20pm

i'm very proud of my belgian nose. - 01 August 2009, 6:58pm

i like being happy. - 01 August 2009, 6:32pm

a wise man once told me not to trust anyone with well manicured facial hair. i am twenty-four, and this has proved to be very among the wiser things anyone has ever told me. - 29 June 2009, 1:22am

this is a little fact about me. how interesting! - 28 June 2009, 8:27pm

i like to consider myself a jack of all trades, and in my years i've learned well that i'm a master of none. - 21 June 2009, 9:10pm

for some reason, i really like being near huge bodies of water. i'm really not sure why, but i feel much more comfortable if there's a lake or a river nearby, even if it's a half a mile away - 20 May 2009, 1:29am

i'm rather lazy. in fact, i tend to forget to finish things before i - 02 February 2008, 8:34pm

there are two facts that i am trying my best to accept, but still break my heart:

• i will never be an old chinese man
• i will never be able to grow a beard

if "peter pan" had been written around now, they wouldn't have said a fairy dies every time someone says they don't believe in fairies." they would have said "some good in this world dies every time someone uses internet explorer." there are few things that aggravate me more than microsoft internet explorer. i try really hard not to judge people, but if you use IE, i can't help it. please start using a real browser - 02 February 2008, 8:27pm

i would not be upset if google won the net presidential election and eventually took over the world. - 02 February 2008, 8:13pm

i do not like nuts or other chunks in my brownies, and kindly ask that you never offer them to me. the same goes for jello, fudge, most ice cream, and other things that should be soft. - 02 February 2008, 8:12pm

if you ever want me to get angry, use the words 'i' and 'me' improperly. example: "he told john and i..."
comma misuse, really bothers me too. - 02 February 2008, 8:10pm

my favorite fictional vampire, spike, described love as follows: "you'll never be friends. you'll fight and you'll shag and you'll love each other 'til it kills you. love isn't brains, children, it's blood. blood screaming inside you to work its will. and i may be love's female dog*, but at least i'm man enough to admit it." right on, spike. - 02 February 2008, 8:03pm

i genuinely think i'd be happier if i never had to use microsoft windows ever again. - 02 February 2008, 7:59pm

i don't eat meat. but i eat fish. and dairy. so to say i'm a half-assed vegetarian would be an understatement. but i often do just to avoid the whole explanation. - 02 February 2008, 7:57pm

some of my friends say i'm self deprecating. what they don't know is that i generally only tell them the best things about myself. - 02 February 2008, 7:56pm

i don't particularly like cars. i really don't like cities that require the use of them. - 02 February 2008, 7:55pm

i am truly fascinated by trains. i think they are beautiful and magnificent. the fact that steam can power thousands of tons of steel blows my mind. if i had my way, i'd travel by train for the rest of my life. - 02 February 2008, 7:54pm

i love my iPhone. if i feel sad, i hold it in my arms and i feel better. - 02 February 2008, 7:53pm

i often use the term baseball to disguise the topic of sex. it is also my default conversational piece when i want to change the current topic. - 02 February 2008, 7:51pm

i pretend to be able to speak chinese. people who don't know chinese believe me. people who do know chinese are generally too polite to tell anyone otherwise. - 02 February 2008, 7:48pm

bob dylan wrote his first five star album when he was 18. i am a failure. - 02 February 2008, 7:48pm

i play guitar. i could not bring my guitar to china, but i hope to find one while i'm here. playing my guitar makes me happy. - 02 February 2008, 7:47pm

i am a crumpler. i don't trust folders. - 02 February 2008, 7:45pm

my favorite popsicle color is green. - 02 February 2008, 7:44pm

i am a chicagoan, born and raised, and i'm very proud to say such. although i have much german, irish and english blood, i consider myself to be primarily of belgian descent. and i am exceptionally proud of this. - 02 February 2008, 7:43pm

i think it's a shame that most americans really believe that the word "atheist" is synonymous with "evil". just because we don't believe in some mystical being doesn't mean we're bad people.
and religious freedom does not mean freedom between various forms of christianity. - 02 February 2008, 7:41pm

i like cycling. i do it as often as i can. now that i'm in china, i rarely do. so try not to rub it in. i miss my bikes. - 02 February 2008, 7:39pm

i do not like microsoft. - 02 February 2008, 7:38pm

i like computers. well, more specifically, i like apple computers. if i had a zillion dollars, i'd invest a lot of it in apple. - 02 February 2008, 7:37pm
