Please give a brief resume of your life:
Had an Edenic childhood, my father a stream consultant and biologist in McMichaels, PA and sole reason for my residence there, he in charge of a stream revitilization project for a private fishing club; explored McMichael's Creek, which ran by house, swam in clean-cold stream, fished extensively; educated decently at Chestnut Hill Elementary School, one year in Effort United Methodist Church modular (marking a period of haunting dreams, migraine headaches, and an overwhelming fear of my own parent's death) a brief interlude finished college prep in Pleasant Valley School District; Kindergarten - rode bus with 14 girls; when asked which one I would marry (at 6 years old), I replied "All of them." When told I couldn't marry all of them, I said, "Well, then I'll marry them one at a time;" prompted by fourth grade and all-time favorite teacher Mrs. Frey to write a "Proud to be an American" essay for a county-wide contest - won competition and savings bond for; got second runner-up in a 5th grade Wildlife Essay Contest on the California Condor; forced to submit 6th grade science essay, wrote on endangered Harp Seals, winning area contest, the county, but not four-county area - blast!
Inspired by Jean Craighead George outdoors novel at age 10 and decided it was something for me and consequently formed my fascination with wooded areas; read thoroughly until age 11, when forced to divide my attention between literary efforts and sports and eyeing girls - (first kiss at 1 year-old! Second kiss - 2nd grade!) fell in love with girl Steph at age 11; My other love, sports; was a rampant multi-sport athlete and brat (brats make the best soccer players, not the best teammates); juggled club soccer and youth league soccer during summertime and fall, basketball and baseball the rest of the year.
Began, with the help of four friends, a Writing Club, outside of the classroom, wrote cooperatively about exploring deep sea trenches in one long adventure; spent most of time after school walking through woods and over streams and causing mischief. Remained pensive introspective child, hit psychotic break at age 15, became suicidal no apparent reason, hatched unfollowedthroughwith silly plan to kick the bucket by the end of high school
