Oh sure, the whole site is about me, but that's not enough.
No, you need sound bites. You need it all neatly summarized in 15 seconds.
I guess that's needlessly harsh, I mean, I read about pages too, and I don't necessarily just want sound bites.
I graduated from Stanford in June of 2002 with a BS in computer science, and now I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life. But I guess that's pretty typical for a 22-year-old.
I have been referred to, on occasion, as an "interesting character," which I guess is good if I ever get around to producing the screenplay of my comic-tragic life into a movie.
Although, lately, I've been lamenting that I don't have a sidekick character to hop in my car with me and randomly drive across the U.S. But after some thought I realized that by "sidekick" I really just meant "unemployed and adventurous semi-girlfriend love interest" and decided that it was rather unlikely one was going to just show up in my life and hop in my car, so any road trip would be decidedly less cinematic.
Not that my alternate plan (get a job) will provide any better screenplay material, but it seems to be winning out right now as the path of least resistance. That may change as I learn first hand just how bad the job market is.
When I was in 6th grade I bought a small poster of Charlie Brown, sitting at his manager's desk, wearing a baseball cap, head resting on his hands. It says "I'm still hoping yesterday will get better."
This poster stayed in my locker throughout my academic years, and I put it up in my dorm rooms when I was in college.
Charlie Brown is my hero.
