Five Things You Don't Know about Me

I went to college on a drama scholarship.

I was so shy in elementary school that I wouldn't order food at restaurants.

I am allergic to wheat, dairy, and soy. Consequently, I make a lot of my own meals, sometimes from scratch. No quick fast food trips for me!

I like meeting new people. I was a tour guide in Salem as a summer job during college and I really enjoyed it because of all the interesting people I met. This is different from most typical computer geeks, but I've never claimed to be typical.

I added my middle initial (C.) to my name when writing because there's another Nicholas Zakas that lived in the next city over from me. Apparently, he's an antiques dealer (I used to get calls for him all the time). This is why I make such a stink about always using my middle initial . . . because I don't want your old furniture.
