Ruth Bleakley can often be seen lingering around decrepit houses in Worcester with peeling lead paint in the hopes that someone will take a picture of her. Her other interests include binding books (that’s right) , reading books, petting cats, riding bikes and lurking on Etsy.com forums. She also has the pleasure of being married to the soon-to-be-salty Ryan Schenk.

Side note from Mike D:
Ruth ALSO procrastinates. This entry was sent to me a mere 85 minutes ago.

I’m Sander! A long-time coworker and antagonist of Mike D, we originally met in college, probably. Everybody I’ve ever met has figured out everything about me in under 5 minutes.

Someday I hope to become good enough at something I love (riding motorcycles?) to make a living at it. Although I’ll probably just settle for having my own “1000 lb. man” special on the Discovery Channel before I die of explosive heart failure.

Hi! I’m Theresa. I’m Michael’s sister.

One time when we were little Michael fell off the swingset. As he fell he slid along an exposed screw sticking out of the metal structure. A HUGE gash opened up in his side. I ran over, picked him up, and carried him inside where our Mom applied some disinfectant.

He still has a scar. Mom and I probably saved his life.

Ryan Schenk enjoys the ocean, and aspires one day to become a salty barnacle with leathery skin who smokes a pipe. At the age of nine, he was the inspiration for Matthew Christopher’s novel Skateboard Renegade (http://www.hbgusa.com/books/77/0316135496/index.html). He is married to an avenging librarian and pretends to dislike her cat Meowstro.

Bio: I’m Nicole and I have a natural affinity for disaster. Undiagnosable diseases… Walking into glass doors… Falling UP the stairs… Happens on a regular basis but it makes my life interesting.

I’m Abby. I have the happy privilege of being mike d’s cousin and former
schoolmate. The ring on my phone is Back in Black. I hate to do my laundry
because my basement freaks me out.

Four truths and a Lie. Bruce Campbell is my cousin, but he doesn’t keep in touch. My first car had a model railroad in the back seat and trunk. I can sing barbershop upside down. I only use Land O’Lakes unsalted butter in my cooking, for the ladies. I golf once per year, no more, no less.

I’m Tim! I went to London with Mike D. We terrorized that country. We got an ‘A’ on our project, but it was probably more because of the dark threats we made to the adviser than quality work.
