I GOT A COVID DOG, JAKOB
After realizing that he had literally zero human contact during the COVID pandemic, I managed to leave his house, amid his crippling depression, to drive 1.5 hours to pick a dog breed that he's never heard of before. It's an Australian Shepherd. Forgetting that I needed to pick a name for his dog, I picked a random name that came to his head at the point of purchase: Jakob. The name of a really annoying, German-Esque, heir-to-the-throne, and 5-year-old Jakob from a novel that I liked.Turns out an Australian Shepherd has enough energy to power any city the size of New York. Mikey Mike’s lack of foresight and self-control makes him wonderfully qualified to keep your attention.
I am a super *serious* business consultant
I failed to fit into the corporate stereotype, so I decided that I wanted to be a scholar instead. Only to discover that I didn't fit into that mold either. Naturally, I gave up my dignity and became a consultant for the corporate people. Watch and feel better about your own life choices as I make lame excuses about my career choices while you can feel superior for having the foresight to pick a career and stick to it.
I had a speaking part at local high school theatre production of Footloose
Being told my whole life that I am super talented, I tried out for the high school musical, senior year of high school. Little did I know that literally every millennial (literally all of them) were told that they were the chosen ones* destined for great things). Despite the low probability of being special, I managed to con my way to getting one of the lead parts with 2 entire lines**. During rehearsals, I was repeatedly told to "give it less" because I was getting way too into it. Apparently, you're not supposed to look like you care more than the main characters when you're not essential to the plot.
