⇴ has the iq level of a genius (158) but hides it behind a reckless and lazy demeanor, hoping to come off as "normal" instead of as a nerd. only his parents know the full functionality of his brain, having been the ones who tested him in the first place.

⇴ tells himself jokes in the mirror to make himself feel better when he's sad, mad, or anxious. he got through high school by telling himself jokes every morning, up until graduation when he decided to cut back and save them for special occasions only.

⇴ favorite movie is "patch adams". him and his father watched it on tv together when he was younger and was home from school with the flu. ever since then, he lives by the quote "being happy is the best cure of all diseases" and has seen the movie 54 times and counting.

⇴ wants to be a doctor just like his parents but deep down feels as though he's meant to do something different in the future. he can't pinpoint what that something is yet, but he knows that it's something school can't offer in their curriculum.

⇴ was voted "best hair", "best smile", and "most likely to succeed" in high school. absolutely loved the attention ... secretly hated the hypocrisy. should have won "biggest contradiction" four years in a row.

⇴ loves animals, especially dogs, and most especially banned dog breeds like rottweilers, pitbulls, and doberman pinschers. he created a signature petition against bsl (breed-specific legislation) in high school when his then rottweiler puppies were almost apprehended by animal control after a neighbor mistook the pups as culprits of an attack on two neighborhood cats (which ended up being cayote-related). he got over 2,000 signatures as well as involving 3 school districts and 4 news channels reporting the story. receiving attention and high praise for his efforts, american kennel club made him an honorary canine ambassador for life.
