Hence my myopic vision continues. I alternate between glasses, contacts and viewing the world through a lens that appears to have been coated in Vaseline.

5. I’m an avid library volunteer and I’ve been carrying a torch for the library since I could read.

7. I am a procrastinator. But I have a good reason for being one: I work best under pressure.
