Nitpitnicky 126 (aka 315 Things About Seth)

Well hello there. It's been nearly a year since I've posted to my weblog. For shame, right? Starting today, I'm going to try and start filling up kilobytes of data on the internet with my idiocy. And for the milestone that is post #600 (hint, it's this one), I thought that I should drag up some good old posts about myself and then continue on with that idea.

A few years ago I wrote up three posts that each featured 63 things about myself. And while some of them may have changed since I wrote them (see below), it's an extremely hard exercise to complete, but it's very gratifying when you're finished. Here they are:

• Pitnicky 63
• Pitnickier 63
• Pitnickiest 63
