Harper Reveals It All

That's what I might as well call this thing.  I'm Harper.  I'm 28 and mormon and living in Utah so we can all equate these facts to the following:

1.  I am technically a burden on society (Thank Brother Brigham)
2. I might just be a plague upon the land  (Thanks regurgitated crickets)
3.  And maybe, just maybe, I'm a bit too picky (Thanks Ma)  

Not married is a bad status to be in in this state.  But I'm sure I'll reveal my mishaps in near-marriage as we go along.  

Harper is not my real name, of course.  It stems from my near-obsession with Harper Lee who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird.  I love Harper Lee even if she is a recluse.  I guess I am a recluse too.  I guess I'm Boo Radley.  I'd rather stay home than go out.  I'd rather chew my own foot clean off than go on a date.  I hate singles ward activities.  You heard me right:  I said I hate singles ward activities.  I don't do game night.  Torture doesn't even BEGIN to describe these natural disasters.  I don't scrapbook or craft, either.  And my philosophy on break-the-fast:  "I'm here for the food."

Here is my launch.  Here is my story.  Harper reveals it all.
