Common misconception about me:

A lot of people think that I saved the Pentagon from a terrorist attack on December 3rd, 1997 at 9:27 a.m. but that simply is not true.

Most creative gift, given or received:

Some guy once gave me a half-empty jar of peanut butter, a heavy-duty voltage regulator, and a map of Steve Buscemi’s house. Not really sure what that was about.

Movie you’ve seen most:

I’ve never actually seen Shrek but I’ve heard good things about it.

Book you’ve read the most:

Contrary to popular belief, I actually can’t read.

One thing I cant live without:

A petri dish with a single Glial cell from Reagan’s brain, like the one that all Republicans have. I keep it with me at all times.

I wanted to be a chemical engineer until I realized that I would actually need to know chemistry to do that.

Favorite gadget:

The Internet.

Teacher pet peeve:

I really hate it when teachers tell me what constitutes a “good grade” or a “bad grade.”

Procrastination technique:

“Procrastination” implies that I eventually actually do the work.

Hobby:

Sometimes lay my refrigerator horizontally, fill it with marmalade, and pretend I’m on a deep space voyage in hypersleep.

If you walk up to a freshman in the library and say “can I have my seat back” he’ll give you his chair. Even if you just walked in to the library.

Ronald Reagan

I’ve always loved knitting but wouldn’t talk about it because I can’t knit and actually I don’t like knitting.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Jewish Thought with Mr. Shine has definitely been very eye opening, and has changed the way I will practice Judaism for the rest of my life.

Most purchased item in Student Store:

I have like 90 of those sweatshirts. I don’t know why I keep buying them but I do.

Favorite Milken Trend:

I really liked the trend where people started all saying words backwards and lighting their hair on fire.
