25 Things About Me

1. I have the most beautiful, adventurous, southern raised and accented wife in the world who looks a lot like Jennifer Love Hewitt only a lot more good-looking

2. I’m self conscious about my upper body size and strength

3. I hate grammar Nazis... I say if you can understand it then go with it...

4. I don't see truth as something you can ever attain... at the same time I think that it is possible to get closer and closer to it... like a mathematical equation moving closer and closer to a limit

x - 1
f(x) = ,/x - 1

5. I have had a stutter most of my life and still do when I get tired

6. My biggest pet peeve is people that see a red light ahead and when I slow down they speed up to pass me, stop at the red light, and make me completely unable to pull off a rolling start when it turns green... uuurgh!... can’t stand it!!!... why!!!?

7. I try to have one decently smart thing to say about every topic...

8. I think out loud some of the time

9. School taught me to have an opinion about everything... back it up with like anything... even if you are only devil’s advocate... and if/when proven wrong admit it graciously... but make sure you save face by singling out the one part of a part of the part where you were right...

10. I don’t really feel like there’s anywhere in the world to call home right now...

11. I think hit teenage TV shows... ie. ‘90210’, ‘Party of Five’, ‘OC: First Season’... have a main theme of a show and each character deals with a similar yet completely different aspect of said theme... this particular ‘Party of Five’ episode has girls torn between two different guys... and a girl torn between a guy and work... and guys fighting over them... and the guys being complete idiots...

12. The last real job I had was close to 7 years ago

13. My name means ‘Strong in Victory’... but it never really says what I should do in a loss... or how I should even be in a tie for that matter...

14. I have very little to absolutely no fashion sense... mostly I think it’s because of getting hand-me-downs for the better part of my life from my brother... or things bought for me... still do...

15. Lately I’ve really gotten into reading Historical fiction...

16. I am an amateur conspiracy theorist... and Ron Paul is my new hero...

17. I have a hard time going to movies in Theatres... and try to only go when the movie is absolutely truly worth going to... or if dragged there by friends or parents

18. I think it’s my moral responsibility to only buy things that I absolutely need... but If there is one thing that I will always splurge on... it will be food...

19. I do all of my best thinking late at night... I have trouble being a morning person... weird because the rest of my family are morning people... and I know that any job I hope to eventually get will require me to be a morning person

20. I have a knock-off Gucci leather jacket (real leather) that makes me look a lot like Starsky... pretty much my favourite television show character of all time...

21. I read ‘The Lord of the Rings’ almost every summer when I was a kid... and now somehow I’ve started to feel like I’m past it...

22. I’m a serious head case... and I think way too deep about things... even to the point of playing darts in order to be better at scoring goals...?

23. I’m bad with silence... I get nervous... I have to have a TV, or computer, or book, or all three... even long walks or showers pose a problem...

24. I’m scared of kids... I don’t know how to act... I don’t know what to say to them... and I‘m terrified I’ll hurt them if I hold them... and absolutely say no to changing diapers...

25. I am an environmentalist in small meaningless ways like turning off lights and not wasting paper... thanks China for building 10,000 new coal plants this year...
