This is the weblog for Webb Pinner. A wondering soul and perpetual student who has self-knowingly fallen into one after another amazing situations and has now decided to start documenting it.

Birthdays have never been my sort of thing. I think it's because I have had some less than enjoyable ones in my past and because I really do not like surprises or being put on a stage.
