When I Grow Up, I Want To Be: “Cult Leader” ha ha j/k, really … I meant a beach bum. I have been practicing it periodically over the years and almost have it down perfect.
Best Use Of The Blue Skittle: mmmm candy.. blue skittles remind me of tropical skittles which makes me think of palm trees and water and the beach and digging my toes in the warm sand. So my best use of the blue skittle is making sand castles.
Can’t Live Without: Water. Drinking it, playing in it, living near it. (at least in my imagination)

I Frequently Yell When I Game: You should seek help for that; you might have a disorder of some kind.
Favorite Game: Knights of the Old Republic
When I Grow Up, I Want To Be: Instead of “not to be,” because the former seems more likely to bring a smile to my face.
Best Use Of The Blue Skittle: I saved a man’s life with it once. True story: my friend was over and we were going to paint my Xbox 360 controller. On the way down the stairs in my house he tripped and fell on a Bic pen he was carrying, which punctured his brachialis artery. You would probably never guess, but the buttons on an Xbox 360 controller are just slightly larger than the hole left in an arm by a Bic pen. So I pulled the pen out, grabbed the blue skittle from the table, and jammed it into the hole. When the paramedics arrived they were stunned that I would sacrifice my game controller for my friend’s life, but commended me on my quick thinking. Of course, my friend is kind of a jerk, so maybe it wasn’t really the best use of my blue skittle, but I know his boss appreciated it because he needed someone to scapegoat for his embezzlement of a few million dollars.
Can’t Live Without: Your love.
If A Video Game Character Were Created After Me, It’s Motto Would Be: The lies we tell ourselves are the ones no one else will believe. (Yeah; so I like games that make me think. We can’t all find fulfillment playing rhythm games.)
