Exercise: Describe Yourself in 20 Words or Less

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Ground rules to make this a bit more challenging:

You are to describe yourself in 20 words or less in sentence form. No acronyms are allowed, but hyphenated words are allowable. Use of commas, semi-colons, dashes, etc. are allowed to render the sentence readable. You’re description should provide as much information as possible that would allow other people to make reasonable inferences regarding your physical appearance, personality, profession, etc. In other words, “Who am I?” in 20 words or less.

To make this even more interesting, go ahead and “psychoanalyze” or “deconstruct” me. I’d be curious to see your responses.
