I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I believe there are 11 kinds of people in this world, those who know binary (and can't count), and those who don't. I believe that the power of cheese ought to be regulated by checks and balances. I believe that all cats are black in the dark, that geese do see god, and that the new millenium starts in 2006.

I used to have many stuffed animals when I was little, including a cool teddy bear with swivel-able arms and legs. Anyway, what happened was that one day I was playing with my bear, pretending to cook him in the oven. (Don't ask why.) I forgot him in there, my mom started cooking dinner, and a horrible smell soon permeated the house. Needless to say, she had really cooked my bear! The food was ruined, and of course so was the bear. I cried and cried... But I look back now and laugh at the whole thing. She cooked my bear! He didn't have a name, but after his incident, he is perhaps now known, in teddy bear heaven, as Burnard.
