CV.

In 2003, because I was benevolently jealous of my friend Shaun who was well on his way to a Ph.D., I made a fake CV. A week ago, because I thought it'd be fun, I fully updated it. And now, because I am a big dork and because you just never know when a random window might open, I am going to post it on the Internet (obviously with a few key details deleted for privacy).

Some of the items included are a stretch, and the whole thing gets pretty ridiculous, so please laugh behind my back and not to my face.
