• Number of piercings: Not a one.
  
• Number of tattoos: None. I occasionally think about getting a Jazz Fish on my upper arm.
  
• Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper?: Several. Not since hitting college, though.
  
• Number of scars on my body: A whole lot. I scar easily. (This may be a metaphor.)
