I am shy, hilarious, and bearded.
My Self-Summary
I recently graduated, receiving a B.A. in English literature from
UMBC. Now I work there full-time as an Audio/Visual Specialist
(whatever that means). Since I'm done with school, I easily get
bored. I try to find entertainment, which often results in me
playing Super Mario Bros. at work. I aspire to be Charlie from
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".
What I’m doing with my life
I want to write fiction eventually. After a year or two of my
current job, I want to teach English in either Europe or East Asia.
I work, go to bars, shows, and on random trips. Often I hang out in
Baltimore at a bar called the Golden West, though I discovered a
dive bar like it in Silver Spring (Quarry House Tavern).
I moved to Silver Spring because of a previous job, which I quit
after a month, and I'm trying to become acquainted with the area,
but I love Baltimore.
I’m really good at
Writing, being funny, making a quiet situation awkward, drinking.
