In short

  • I wouldn't say I have a "claim to fame."
    I was quite famous, though, my senior year of high school for a piece of fiction I wrote for Creative Writing. It caused quite an uproar among the senior community and the English staff. Funny story. All I'll say is, the story involved two guys, two girls, a bar, a bathroom and a hell of a lot of moaning.
    Ask me what happened when my teacher read it and I'll tell you.
