Who are you?

VERY IMPORTANT: I DID NOT WRITE THESE. These are from ADAM's blog, I DID NOT write these. I just thought I would put these up so you could gain a better understanding of some of the people I am living with haha, none of the staff character sketches are on here. When it says anything like "I think this" or "I didn't know" it is from Adam's point of view, not mine. Just to clarify, enjoy :).
