d = You are Mrs. Belding, little-seen wife of Mr. Belding.
e = Remember when Tori Spelling was on that one time, playing Screech’s nerdy girlfriend? That’s you.
f = You are Jen Lawrence, this girl from my high school who thought she looked just like Kelly Kapowski, and we were all like, You wish.
g = You are Brandon Tartikoff, former C.E.O. of NBC.

Nathan Thornton lives, eats and sleeps in Columbus, Ohio, where he writes hilarious bios to accompany humor pieces, then shakes his head, reconsiders, and decides to play it straight. His work has appeared in a couple of other places, but he doesn't like to make a big deal about it. And although he refers to himself in the third person, Nathan Thornton is me.
