What I Look Like In Real Life

Hi. My name’s eD!, and I’ll be forgoing the usual third-person narrative for this ‘About Me’ page to just ramble on about, well, me. Most of this stuff would sound weird coming from some random omnipotent narrator, anyway.

I was born in 1983. It is said that my birth was accompanied by bacon and pie falling from the sky while penguins tap-danced o’er the land, but that is usually said only by me. I was raised and still live in New York, specifically on Long Island, far enough away from Manhattan for it to still be magical yet close enough that I can get there within an hour should something cool be going on or one of my friends be stranded and drunk, living their own version of Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

I currently work a job in a retail establishment that I don’t discuss, both because it is fairly boring and because the company I work for seems kinda trigger-happy to fire people who talk about them online. It’s insane, and given the amount of time I spend there a week, it’s hard not to bring them up, but I do it, mainly because without them my bills would go unpaid.

Sometimes I feel like the old guy yelling at the neighborhood kids who are so wrapped up in their imagination to let something as petty as ‘property lines’ effect their play to get off his lawn when I’m on the internet, but I think that’s just part of my charm. I’m also a bit of a jerk, but in that fun way that keeps people from wanting to hit me in the face.

Usually.

That’s it. If you want to know more about me, read my blog, check out my Tumblr, follow me on Twitter, or friend me on Facebook. If that doesn’t do the trick, send me an email.
