Creative + Digital Professional. Cat Hoarder. DIY Junky. Improv Doer. Modern Gypsy.

I embrace being a part of generation-Y and live my life through as many creative and technological outlets as possible.
Likewise, I could do without all of this technology in a second. It’s either all or nothing.
As an infant, there was nothing they could do to tame my hair.
I’ve seen a UFO at the Kane Road Drive-in.
I’ve seen a ghost in my old bedroom, levitating above my brother. I verified that I was awake, freaked out and then hid.
I keep a journal. Online and hard copy.
I’m huge on conspiracy theories.
I used to have a forum set up on my website in high school. If somebody left a comment (which was once in a blue moon) I would send unformatted e-mails to them that were meant to resemble an automatic response.
My childhood is summed up in my head as Lisa Loeb’s “Stay” and a bunch of grass hoppers in one of those clear bug containers with the ventilated top.
I have stolen over 300 salt shakers.
I used to throw crazy Halloween parties. Alcohol free, too.
I got horrible grades until 11th grade. I once had a teacher in middle school ask me why I wasn’t as smart as my older brother. #fail
I have a weird phobia of taking my shirt off in public and don’t like when people are “touchy”.
My personal cat’s names have been Spookums, Snowball, Carmel, Muzby and the latest Mister Fezziwig, Lord Chesterfield and Bubsy.

I’ve been doing improv for over 5 years. Not necessarily good improv. But improv none-the-less.
Redoing furniture and painting gnomes are two past times I don’t do enough of.
My favorite movie is Big Fish. Big guy in a little pond that tells his life story in a way that makes him immortal.
I have a folder on my computer full of artistic photos of my favorite actors and actresses.
In 7th grade, I won a graphic design contest on BeanieWonderland.com. My prize was a box of plush toys manufactured by unknown brands. A huge score in my book.
I used to always paint my Aunt’s pictures for her using these industrial paint markers that had black casings. One time I found a mysterious orange paint marker with a white casing, smelled it and puked instantly.
I used to change the design of my website (mjknarf.com) monthly to avoid social interactions.
I was obsessed with Garfield, Power Rangers, Beanie Babies, Star Wars, Lost in Space and plastic animals specifically purchased from the zoo.
Furthermore, I still have all of the original packaging for my Power Rangers.
I love hiking.
My favorite games are Donkey Kong Country 1-3 and Zombies Ate My Neighbors for SNES.
My first concert and CD was by The Beach Boys.
I like decoupaging things with fabric and old advertisements.
I like exploring old and abandoned places.

I would spend hours staring at STYX Paradise CD cover.
I was my high school’s drum major and I’m still proud to say it.
The first theater performance I saw was my high school’s production of “Guys and Dolls” and I’ve been hooked ever since.
mjknarf is “Frank J M” backwards. A teacher of mine called me “knarf” once and it stuck with me.
My ancestry includes a group of bohemian gypsy’s who lost their circus when crossing a lake.
I remember being really excited when I discovered that I could play my mixed tapes back through my computer and capture the songs individually through the WAVE player. My first cd mixes were top quality.
Nickelodeon Studios still inspires me to this day even though it is no longer there.
Our assistant principal in high school once told me to P4 every situation and it has stuck since. Proper Planning Prevents Problems!
One day it may be proven that I’m clinically insane.
I periodically receive crazy messages from depressed people I have met throughout the duration of my life. It’s a bit alarming.
I lost 30 Twitter followers after posting the SNL “Kissing Family” sketch.
My friends and I used to write outlandish things like “Rat Woman the Musical.” The driving factor for our stories were when people would make a rude comment to us.
I love driving aimlessly for relaxation.
I’m still best friends with my teenage friends.
You got a friend in me.
