I have lived an unusual life in some ways, but I’m not sure it’s interesting. My work brings me face-to-face with panicked tragedy (other peoples’, not necessarily mine) occasionally. Every now and then I have to make a literal life-or-death decision (this is very rare), but otherwise I’m very boring. I have a wife and a kid and a mortgage and I play video games and play-by-post roleplaying games and I’m a bit of a slob and I oversleep when I get the chance.
I think the two most exciting things to happen to me recently are the spider man and batman movies. So no, I guess I’m not that interesting, all things considered.

I doubt that I’m a particularly interesting person, in spite of having lived a very interesting life.
