Hi everyone! Don't really have much to say about myself personally, other than stuff that's already covered below. Feel free to drop a message on my talk page if there's anything you'd like to chat about! :)
I should note that I haven't really been around much for quite a while in terms of editing. I do still check my talk page on a regular basis, though.
[edit] A sort of to-do list
If someone wants to give me a hand with any of these, I'd always appreciate the help. :)

[edit] (Some) people are stupid
More and more, as I look at the talk pages of users with warnings, particularly those who might be able to make constructive edits if they were only willing to compromise and listen to other people, I'm struck by how full of themselves some people can be. This is a cooperative project, people, and you are not God's gift to Wikipedia. Don't come in as a newbie assuming you can run the place. Take some time, learn the ropes (policies, how people interact on the site, how to get things done), and FOR GOD'S SAKE be civil. Do you actually think it's going to help your case to throw insults around?
[edit] I have too much faith in rationality
Why, why, why can't I stop feeding the trolls? I have some strange belief that I might be able to get them to come around if I talk to them reasonably... I guess I just can't understand getting one's kicks from being vindictive, irrational, mean-spirited, and destructive.
[edit] Favorite edits
Since I'm an English major, I figured that I should weigh in on the pressing grammatical issues of our time. </tongue in cheek>
