Dear Sweet Jesus! That was a LOT of useless info about me.
Hope it was somewhat informative.
I can narrow that down to five key facts:

2) I loves me the Star Wars!
3) Books, movies, and music are my obsessions in life
4) If I had a million dollars, I'd travel non-stop, for the rest of my life
5) I like lists.

Have a great day!
