i've seen this thread revived several times and not posted, but this time i'm giving in!
1. the first computer i bought myself was a g4 cube.
2. i love this site and read the community section more than the rumor stuff, but rarely post.
3. i met my fiancee 5 months ago.
4. we're getting married on saturday.
5. i start med school in a few months.
6. i'm convinced yoga will cure my insomnia, but haven't started regularly doing it.
7. i'm pretty sure the next few years are going to make the insomnia a lot worse.
8. i love to travel. one of my biggest fears for med school is not having the freedom to live abroad again for awhile.
9. i fell in love with spain when i lived there and am instantly fond of spaniards when i meet them, if nothing else than just for the accent, which i lost when i moved away.
10. i speak spanish with near-native proficiency.
11. i only buy music in vinyl format. it's gotten much more expensive since i started.
12. i'm nervous someone will give me an iphone as a wedding present and my wife will notice i'm paying more attention to the phone than her on our honeymoon. (kidding, kidding. ...kind of.)
13. every year my friends and i obsess over our top 10 albums of the year lists, which we then use dorky mathematical formulas to compile and "present" in a quasi-awards ceremony and then passionately discuss/argue the results.
14. i'm convinced my 61 reissue fender jazzmaster and original silverface fender twin reverb is the best possible tone pairing of guitar and amp ever and have finally kicked my gear acquisition syndrome after a lengthy 10 years of buying and selling and trading and upgrading. unless i could find an original digitech whammy...
15. i feel a very strong kinship with larry david. perhaps too strong.
16. arrested development, though, is my favorite tv show.
17. i feel like my left-handedness is an important part of my identity, and tend to notice other lefties and feel a connection to them, even if they're just writing down my order at a restaurant.
18. as a white middle class male, i suppose left-handedness is the closest thing i have to a minority identity.
19. when i was in high school my club soccer team was given a "sports diplomacy" pass by the US government to play a series of games in cuba. it was the first interaction of this kind between the two nations in 50 years, and we ended up on cnn for the honor.
20. i should probably be doing something to help prepare for a wedding right now...
