I write. I ran. I was born on March 9th, 1973 to Nancy and Ted Johnson in Brooklyn, New York. I moved to Atlantic Highlands, then Fair Haven, both in New Jersey. Then I moved to Jacksonville, Florida. Then High Point, North Carolina. And now I'm back in Jacksonville. I hate this town and want to move back up to the Carolina area. Every time I think I don't have any friends and no one loves me another warm face comes by to make me smile. I have a dog named Sydney. I'm pretty darn skinny and I 'm the same height I was in sixth grade. The other kids used to call me "Too Tall Johnson" now they call me average. I love the warmth of the sun on a cold day. Rainy days are the best for creativity. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is check out a new bands live show. I like fast food. I had long side burns before the guys on 90210. I hate that show. I like the New York Knicks. Elvis had long side burns before I did. I learned HTML in 15 minutes. It took me two weeks to get this webpage ready. If people got paid for sleeping I'd be on the cover of FORBES tomorrow. The snooze button is my worst enemy. I want to go to the Grand Canyon. I miss Colleen. I 'm afraid of heights. You couldn't pay me enough to go bungy jumping. I can't wait to go sky diving. One summer I ate pizza every single night. One summer I gave my little sister a hard time when she ate crazy bread a lot. I'll go out of my way for a good charitable cause. I'll look the other way when those people are collecting pocket change outside the grocery store. I loved my grandparents very much and didn't tell them enough before they died. I have a problem expressing myself verbally. I hate leaving messages on peoples answering machines. I hate it when people call and hang up on my machine. I play volleyball. Rumors are the stupidest thing in the whole world. There's nothing like a good story. Sometimes I act like a know it all when I don't mean to. I learn something new everyday. I bought a guitar and I'm gonna learn how to play, but mostly I write. -Written June 29, 1996- MLJ
