Ionz has created an interface that allows you to create your own infographic to represent who you are. I’m not sure if I would have gone with the same 9 categories, but it’s a really cool concept! [In the top right corner you can change to the British flag so you don’t have to read it in Portuguese, I mean unless you want to.]

One thing I’d love to see here was a more detailed breakdown of how I spend my time and what I use for transportation. I mainly use a car, but sometimes I use public transportation or my new bike. I also spend more than 12 hours online [slightly shamed]. Well, I guess this will give you a little insight into who I am…

It is wise to bring some water, when one goes out to look for water.

–Arab proverb

“I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.”

“Cause I love that dirty water. Boston, you’re my home.”

I was just going about my daily life this morning, I see this tweet by one of my good friends. She is graduating this year and is involved in numerous extracurriculars, so she has been swamped for the past 8 months of her life. The tweet was:

Imagine my bewilderment when I read that she had free time. I decided to share this bewilderment and amazement with her and the rest of the Twitterverse.

I then continued on with my life. Carrying on conversations about flannels vs. plaids, reading about the fall-out from the T fires, and working on a presentation. All until this arrived…

This is why I love Twitter. Because Inigo Montoya can call me out! I don’t personally know him, so had I posted the previous comment on Facebook, he never would have been able to call me out on it. Welp, thanks for the reality check @iaminigomontoya and the enjoyable start to my Friday morning!

He who throws dirt is losing ground.
