100 Random Things (1-25)
Over the next four days I’ll be posting 100 random things about me. That’s 25 useless facts each day (25 * 4 = 100). When all four lists of 25 are posted, I’ll consolidate all of them into a single list and post that. Then I’ll write a post about how this is the most posts I’ve ever done in a single month. That’s how you artificially raise your post count.
Here’s 1-25:
- I was a club DJ in my late teens and early 20’s.
- I don’t like mushrooms or olives.
- I love Google’s online applications (Docs, Reader, Calendar, GMail, Notebook).
- I’ve lived in various suburbs of Cleveland, Dallas and Denver.
- I’ve been in only one fight. The kid I was “fighting” let me up and then walked away. I thought he left so I claimed the win. Turns out he had just gone around the corner to see if his mom was there to pick him up.
- I sleep on my side or on my stomach.
- I snore when I sleep on my right side, but not my left.
- I’m an introvert.
- In middle school I was in a spelling bee. Going into the event I knew that I would have trouble with chauffeur if it was given to me (long shot, right?). Ironically, they gave me chauffeur and I lost. (I just had to use dictionary.com to get the spelling of chauffeur.)
- I’ve played in soccer, hockey, football, basketball, softball, and tennis leagues and I wrestled.
- I skateboarded my way through my teens.
- I’ve been to Ireland, Mexico and Canada. I’ve been to Canada a lot, actually.
- I’ve had ear, nipple and tongue piercings.
- I have no tattoos.
- I barely graduated high school, but I have a perfect 4.0 GPA in college (I am still chipping away at a bachelor’s degree.)
- I don’t like country/western music. Furthermore, I think that dressing up like a cowboy is silly and is acceptable only on a ranch and on Halloween.
- I like teaching and mentoring.
- My favorite bands today (it will be different tomorrow) are Autolux and the Pixies.
- I enjoy being organized and I enjoy organizing.
- One of my favorite things on weekends is to wake up, make some coffee, and sit at the computer.
- I consider every failure as something to learn from, and therefore something to benefit from.
- 22 is the number I have on most of my hockey jerseys.
- I eat way too much butter.
- I feel most at ease when on a rocky shore or beach in the Northwest. I think I’m supposed to live in British Columbia or Oregon.
- I love rain, and too much sun depresses me. Maybe it’s Seattle where I’m suppose live.
#23: butterito!
