How to Be Nicole Willson

Graduate from the second-most annoying liberal arts college in the United States. Go Gryphons! This is the closest Sarah Lawrence has probably come to winning anything.
Spell your last name with two 'l's not to be special but because that's the last name your were born with -- given that you have Scottish ancestors from the Clan Gunn.
Live in the Boston city limits, without being a Dunkin' Donuts addict or a rabid Patriots or Red Sox fan.
Have a masters degree in library and information science.
Drink a lot of coffee. One cup is never enough... Make your coffee using an AeroPress.
Listen to indie rock and online radio. Listen to your own [pandora] station while patrolling recent changes.
Read constantly outside of school and read a range of stuff from trash romance novels to high lit to non-fiction to manga. Get most of these books from the local library, thrift stores or Internet book swap sites.
Stay out of malls, preferring instead to shop at thrift stores, Target, Lush, and Trader Joe's.
Wear glasses even though you could wear contacts.
Avoid makeup, unless you're going out, even then you shouldn't overdo it. Go for the natural look.
Use OpenOffice to type all your documents
Be a movie buff. Attend all night movie marathons. Visit local independent movie theaters and support them by becoming a member and attending their events.
Volunteer. Let bad volunteering experiences inform you of future situations when you shouldn't volunteer.
Try to get involved in other wiki projects, but not get too into them not intentionally but because you always have stuff you need to do on wikiHow.
Go to conferences to feel like part of the great wiki ohana (wiki family).
Love Hello Kitty and anything else that's small and cute, including children.
