12.) I started kindergarten early.
13.) I was in the gifted and talented program starting in first grade up until I graduated from high school.
14.) Jobs I have wanted over the course of my life, in no particular order: lawyer, mountain climber, cartoonist, stand up comedian, taxi driver, improv comedian, screenwriter, taste tester, director, stage technician, cameraman
15.) Jobs I have had over the course of my life, in no particular order: office assistant, restaurant host, warehouse odd job guy, stage technician (I got one!), fast food worker, police cadet, camp counselor, moon bounce operator (seriously)
16.) My favorite store in the world is Best Buy.
17.) I've been to the Gesundheit! Institute in West Virginia twice, and would like to go back for a third time.
18.) When I was in high school, I used to sneak into my dad's closet and steal any of his shirts that looked cool (I still have most of them).

24.) I'm allergic to poison ivy.

26.) As far as I know, those are my only two allergies.
27.) I wish I had chosen a more useful major in college, SMAD is total bullshit.

30.) I was in the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization in high school (BBYO).
31.) I was, in order, my chapter's secretary, vice president, northern Virginia vice president, and northern Virginia president.
32.) I skip class way more often than I should.

44.) I don't really like acting because I'm horrible at memorizing lines.

53.) I'm pretty liberal in my political beliefs.
54.) I really don't understand why some people are so close minded when it comes to things like religion and politics, since we are taught from an early age that open discussion and democracy are what this country is founded on.

65.) I used to climb around in the ceilings and walls of our theater instead of doing work during class.
66.) A few friends and I set up an altar complete with chicken bones, fake blood, and weird writing underneath the stage, to see if we could scare anyone.

75.) One time, and I'm not very proud of this, I stole the bell from a Salvation Army worker who was using the bathroom (I'm a horrible person).
76.) I'm pretty callous about most things, I don't get emotional.
77.) However, I'm a sucker for tearjerker endings of movies, I have no idea why (it's embarrassing, but I get a lump in my throat any time I watch the last scene of Little Giants).
78.) I don't think we should be at war right now.
79.) I started this website over winter break because I was really really bored.

82.) I auditioned for New and Improv'd my freshman year, but only made it to callbacks.
83.) I got into N+I last year.
