One day, I hope to be successful enough to be described as a "shooter slender coastal" in the opening paragraph of an article. I'm kinda slender, but really lacking in other two areas.

I can cover the "shooter" depending on the exact translation and the "coastal" since I used to live in Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

We can probably cover it with posters here chipping in - the 17 years old might be the toughest part. LOL

I'm still in Charleston, so I have the "coastal" covered, "slender" is never happening though!
