I received my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of California, Berkeley upon completing irrationally rigorous levels of Sudoku. In pen. I pride myself in a variety of minor, personal nuances, including my animosity towards wearing pants and my adamant refusal to comb my hair. I have a steady level of accomplishments that strengthen my metaphorical "manhood": (1) I’ve completed Super Mario World in 13 minutes and 26 seconds, (2) I’ve squatted 135 pounds, and (3) I have to omit this pornographic tidbit for "professional" reasons, but you guys know the deal. I also like to cook and clean and my Internet only works in the kitchen.
