The page was looking a little sad considering I’ve been blogging here for a few months. Unfortunately I’m quite terrible at writing about myself. The fact that there was enough content on my plentyoffish profile for Rachel to be interested and message me still amazes me to this day.

Anyway, since I’m not good at writing about myself I tried to think of inventive ways that I could write about myself from a different perspective. And then I remembered reading an article on How to Hack Someone’s Mind. And I thought, hey, why can’t I hack my own mind?

And so I did. I started reviewing all of the bookmarks I’d saved to delicious while making notes on the categories and themes of the articles. I came to recognize that:

  • I’m a frugal entrepreneur trying to create a site in an established market (an underdog)
  • I’m a self-starter planning to develop the site myself (programming and design)
  • I’m planning to market the site using primarily social media

Sounds about right to me. Makes me wish I’d been using delicious back when I was dating — it would’ve made creating profiles roughly 27 times easier.
