Glad to know I made the short and boring list.

I am a big believer in real-names. It makes it a whole lot easier to remember how to log in to web pages.

I am constantly amazed at how much flaming and rudeness there is on the internet, which I believe mostly comes from the fact that people are largely anonymous.

I have always been a bit sad that nobody has ever given me a cool nick-name.

The closest I ever came was "Like a Ninja".
Me, a friend, and a friend of hers were leaving a party. She was carrying a half-full drink cup, and set it down on the back of a car with a slanty trunk. It was late enough at night that the trunk was covered with dew and very slippery. The cup immediately slide right off the car. I simply continued to walk and ever-so-casually caught the cup right out of the air on it's way to the ground without even thinking about it or spilling a drop.

The friend of a friend then said "Dude, you're like a ninja!"


PS. I also juggle, unicycle, and breath fire.
