MOST EMBARASSING MOMENT: I was at a retreat center serving tables to earn money for my class trip. My tray tipped over and I broke dozens of dishes in front of about 300 people. Those 300 people gave me a standing ovation and I took a bow as I tried to hide the fact that I just wanted to jump out the window and preferably perish in the process. A distant second was when I was looking for Jon Stewart's collection of essays entitled "Naked Pictures of Famous People," and the librarian shouted to her co-worker, "Hey, this kid's looking for 'Naked Pictures of Famous People,' do we have it?"
SPECIAL HIDDEN TALENTS: I have a movie quote to match any given situation I encounter in life and I can wiggle my ears.
