I thought this was an interesting game so I decided to annotate it. I probably should have gotten a draw but my opponent made a blunder and I won. If anyone notices something I or my opponent should have done, I'd appreciate a comment showing it.
1. e4
I almost always play this.

 
1... e5
At this level this is the common response.

 
2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nd4 4. Nxe5
I didn't see any reason not to take the pawn, so...

Decided to poke my knight. Guess he didn't notice the fork

Seemed best to me. Although blocking with the queen might have been better.

7... Qxg2
Expected that.

Nope. Just grabbing another pawn.

Probably trying to fianchetto. (Is that how you spell it?)

14. Be3 Qb4+
Another fork between my king and a pawn.

 
15. Bd2 Qxb2
What else?

16. Qh5+ g6 17. Qxh7
I thought that if he took my rook I could checkmate him. I guess I didn't notice it would put me in check

17... Qxa1+ 18. Ke2
Now the queen is attacked and I though he would have to either lose his queen or the game. But he noticed something...

 
18... Qxa2 19. Qxg6+
Here I decided a draw was good enough and calculated that I could get perpetual check. If you notice something he could have done to get out of it, please tell me.

19... Kd8 20. Nf7+ Ke8 21. Nh8+
Here he had to options. One led to perpetual check, (I think) the other led to checkmate.

21... Kf8
Oops

 
22. Bh6#
And a nice bishop checkmate to finish.
