University Of New Orleans
New Orleans, LOUISIANA
Graduated: 2006
Student status: Alumni
Degree: Bachelor's Degree
Major: Communications
Clubs: None. I was never that fond of UNO. Isn't it enought that I finished in under a decade? I think so!
About me: I was born in New Orleans many years ago. It has taught me many lessons and exposed my mind to great culture, food, partying, etc. Unfortunately I still live here. But it could be worse. I intend to escape before the next big hurricane wipes us off the map. A place with mountains would be nice. Higher Ground.
I have held various meaningless jobs for meaningless companies doing meaningless tasks. I hope to make a living one day either writing comedy, cartooning, or some 3rd career option that also doesn't involve physical labor. Perhaps a combination of the three? Sooner would be better than later but I'm prepared for later.
I have been called many names. Some are very nice. You may call me Scot or Scotland. Scottie will not be tolerated.
EDIT: I got out before the hurricane wiped us off the map. I feel good about that. I am around moutains now but not for long...
Who I'd like to meet: Interesting human beings.
Crazy people are actually encouraged to apply.
More specific? Ok...
People who are funny but have no idea. An artist who doesn't sleep. A Racist person who finds out they're 1/3 black. A cam whore with a heart of gold. A clone. Someone more paranoid than me. Someone to give me a haircut. Someone to give me a massage. A person who both dances and suplexes like AC Slater. A Princess from some small country I never heard of.
Oh yeah...and Natalie Portman.
