Even on my FAVORITE blogs, I hate the "About Me" section. This is a place to tell the world about yourself. How the hell are you supposed to do that without inadvertantly doing one of these:
- be accused and convicted of self aggrandizement (Bonus: SAT word!)
- degrating or omitting your accomplishments for fear of above
- or lastly writing something so boring no one will ever read your blog again!
Oh, the stress of having a blog.
So, I came up with this brilliant idea to have my closest friends write the "About Me" section for me. Who knows you better than your friends? Let me clarify, I've spent countless hours boozing, studying, talking, laughing, crying, bickering, bantering, complaining to and about these friends, and everything in between. These are not my Facebook friends or my Twitter followers or friends from any other social media outlet. These are my real life, in person friends. Each of them has brought something special to my life and changed me for the better. Thank you to each of you for providing your "About Me"s.
At the risk of sounding narcissistic, I'm dedicating a whole week to my "About Me" section. If you don't know me after this week then you never will.
