[Scott]

Name (that you go by): Well, Scott is the preferred one (although Scooter pops up occasionally along w/ Nathaniel, but I don’t get the meaning behind Nathaniel). And if I may dare to reuse a quote, “There are some that call me ... Tim.” Timothy is my real name (with the obvious variant of Timmy, but only the people who like to irritate me especially use it.
Age: 18… going on who cares about age. It’s all about the mind.
Occupation: Student, part-time pizza chef, and pool maintenance assistant (pool boy).
Future Aspirations: Stop making pizza and fixing pool pumps… Oh yeah, find some way to make a difference in the world too, I guess.
Goal in life: To never be able to call myself an adult… explained later
Short-term goals: Make it to college in one piece.
Passion: Seeking out the girls I can never get (or so it seems the passion that fate has betrothed me to)
Hobbies: Chess, reading, writing, art, languages, cooking, talking, analyzing every little quirk about life, hiking, swimming
Famous for (okay this is where you get to brag about yourself): I don’t like bragging, but on the inside who can honestly say they hate it? So, I’ve received numerous Academic Decathlon medals at state competitions and have the largest collection of useless awards and certificates on this planet.

Fave book: The Lord of the Rings, The Giver, The Prince, Dracula, Hamlet, The Divine Comedy, plus more I can’t think of presently
Fave movie: Definitely Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Fave sport: Swimming… (Teams would be Denison U. and the US Olympic team all the way (sorry Thorpe lovers)
Fave store: Border’s Books, Newman’s Outfitters, Toys R’ Us, A&A Comics
Fave music: Weezer, The Juliana Theory, Green Day, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Thellonius Monk, John Coltrane, The Ramones, X-Ray Sex… again ore that I can’t presently think of (can we see a trend forming?)

What you can't stand: Racism, Gossipping, uninformed opinions, apathy
What you plain dislike: All of the mentioned above, horrible grammar, people who don’t enjoy others who make up their own words (a bit two-faced maybe, but, eh)
Who you admire: Teachers, My Dad
What you most love to do: Explain, have real conversations with people
Your self-confessed flaws: Non-willingness-to-act syndrome, make up too many words
What intrigues/fascinates you: Everything
What scares you: Really, ignorarnce… but if that doesn’t count, the “Anties” (You know the half ant, half human things from that old B movie, The Anties)
Quotation to live by: A combo of two: “Dare to know” – Immanuel Kant and “Dare to be stupid” – Weird Al Yankovic
Additional comments: On the adult thing… I only use the word “adult” in it’s most pejorative sense. That is, to be one of those people who loses sight of all of their once so radiant dreams to conform and live the rest of their lives in what society has coined the happiness that would be good enough for them.
