20 from a forum newcomwer

Been lurking for more than two years, just recently jumped on the wagon. My 20...


1. My first name translates as "God" in teutonic; I am a long-time Atheist.

2. When I finish school, I will have 3 Master's degrees, an MD, and a PhD. I should be finished in about 8 more years...

3. Despite the above, I am frequently humbled by others' knowledge

4. My IQ has been measured at 92 and 161 within two years of each other.

5. I clean everything I own at least once a month.

6. I refuse to spend more than 5 dollars for any single clothing item.

7. I own 5 Macs, all of which I spent less than 600 dollars for, total.

8. Until I got married, my mom was convinced my best friend and I were gay.

9. I played in a band in High School; I am a self-taught guitarist.

10. I got kicked out of 10th Grade language arts because I found my teacher's Master's thesis and wrote a critique of it to fulfill an essay assignment. She was really pissed. Really. She used it as an excuse to get the principal to remove me from class for "unbelievably rude behavior".

11. I once drove over 20 miles from a friend's house to a gas station blindfolded; I worked the pedals while she steered and gave commands like "more gas", or "slow down". It was hilarious.

12. My wife has 5 birds (Neptune, Leisel, Nona, Wally, and Fuzzy). We are looking to buy two parrots, an African Gray and a Ruby Macaw, within the next few years.

13. Photography is my obsession. Making pottery is my hobby. Watercolor painting is my casual interest.

14. I got mugged once and the guy took my wallet and my watch. The wallet was completely empty except for my Metra ticket and some receipts, and the watch was a 20.00 Casio. Joke's on him.

15. I have witnessed the death of about 50 people in the hospital. After every one, I go home and have some hot tea and try to write about something I am grateful for.

16. I really, really like breasts. Not even in a sexual way, sometimes. I just think they are funny, and soft.

17. My favorite music of all time is Mozart.

18. I shoot moths with my airsoft gun when they get in the house.

19. I cannot swallow pills.

20. Someday, I will build a Geodesic dome and live in it.
 
4.Johnny Depp is my step brother.

Far out. If my wife and I had, collectively, a favorite actor, it would be Depp.

7. I flip houses for a living.

How's that working for you in the current economy?

1. I used to be in the Navy but got discharged for migraine headaches. They cause me to go blind for up to a half-hour at a time.
2. I've been going to college off-and-on for eight years. I have 320 credit hours earned, and I'm within six credits of having four different bachelor's degrees (Creative Writing, English, Philosophy, Nuclear Engineering). This is completely unintentional.
3. I wrote my first "book" when I was four. It was called 12 Ways to Die, based on the title of a Lawrence Block book (Eight Million Ways to Die), and listed a dozen ways to commit suicide.
4. I'm currently writing a series of ten novels. I'm 150 pages in, averaging about 3 pages per day. The series is about the virtues of drinking large amounts of cranberry juice.
5. I'm apparently a cousin of Martin Sheen by marriage.
6. I've lived in seven different states and attended four colleges. I've been to almost every state in the US except for Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, and the Dakotas.
7. I'm an anarchist. Politically, I believe that society should be organized with the protection of individuality as the primary concern. Ethically, I am strongly collectivist. Economically, I'm strongly anti-corporation and strongly in favor of social safety nets, but also strongly free-market. In other words, it's complicated.
8. My wife and I might be moving to France this summer, depending on her job offers.
9. Some of my deepest interests are theology, theosophy, the occult (particularly Qabala and the Tarot), philosophy, and the supernatural, but I'm a skeptical atheist.
10. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't oppose meat-eating in theory. I just think corporate farms are terrible. Personally, I've always wanted to be a farmer, and that's one of my dreams.
11. I get mild panic attacks often. They are triggered by any conversation I have with someone with authority (real or imagined) or on a topic about which I care deeply, even if I only care at that moment. For instance, I had one yesterday while talking to my mom about pit bulls, even though I don't feel strongly about them in either direction.
12. I have dyshidrotic eczema, which is lame. Vinegar seems to keep it tame.
13. I was a DJ at a classic rock station back in 1999. It is still the best job I've ever had, even though it paid the least.
14. I have Asperger's Syndrome.
15. I'm from Eastern Kentucky originally and hate rednecks.
16. My former step-father was an alcoholic sociopath. He's in prison, I think.
17. My Dad, while serving in Vietnam, pushed VC out of helicopters (while flying) and killed Cambodians (in Cambodia). He had originally enlisted so that people would stop asking him when he was going to get drafted. He was also the gentlest man I've ever known.
18. My Dad, after getting out of Vietnam, lived in a chickenshack in Bodega Bay (60 miles north of San Francisco) with three women. They had a platonic relationship. The chickenshack is still standing, or was a few years ago.
19. My great-great-great-grandfather sold approximately 13% of Kentucky for a deer rifle and a coonskin cap.
20. I have not been convicted of a felony, have never shot anyone, have never been shot, and have graduated high school. My mother and I are the only two people on her side of the family who can say that.
 
1. I really starting to hate PC's more and more (Obviously)
2. I'm going to community college right now for my first year of college
3. Someday, I'd like to work at Apple
4. I'm transfering to IUP next year to major in Graphic Design
5. I love photoshop
6. Cars scare me and I hate driving
7. I want a tattoo
8. I'm bisexual
9. I play the drums and any other percussion instrument you can think of.
10. I've marched with a drum and bugle corps.
11. I've dislocated both my knees and broken my left ankle
12. My favorite color is Kelly Green
13. I wished I owned one of everything that Apple makes.
14. I love broadway musicals.
15. Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda right now.
16. I hate reading, so for me to read a whole book it's got to spark my interest extremely fast.
17. My favorite place to eat is Dennys.
18. I hate dial up!!!
19. My favorite Movie (thus Far) is Good Luck Chuck
20. I can't wait to get my MacBook. It will be my pride and joy.

There's more, but I found those to be the most interesting.
 
Hmm. I've finally decided to complete this. Yay me.:cool:

1. I go to a small Catholic school. I wouldn't have it any other way.
2. Even with #1, I fully intend to go to a public school next year for high school.
3. As I write this, I am eating Raisinets with dark chocolate. YumYumYum.
4. As of this post, for no particular reason, I think that I'll start using the color teal for my posts. No particular reason why. (20.5 - I also repeat myself incessantly. Can ya tell?)
5. Most of my friends are girls, yet I am a guy.
6. I have no particular interest in sports.
7. I love to sing, but I'm not all that good at it.
8. I also would love to be able to play the piano like my best friend does(absolutely beautifully), but lack of ability mixed with lack of a desire to attempt to commit to it leads to me not being able to.
9. I currently have a pair of navy Converse All-Stars on their way to my home through UPS.
10. I desperately want to learn how to drive stick.
11. My aunt had a '97 BMW 528i, and I think that it was one of the most beautiful cars ever, and I would love to own one.
12. I resent the dress code at my school not because it limits what I can wear to school, but because I feel that it is vague and unfairly applied.
13. I'm the president of my student council.
14. I was in the top ten in my state(which I choose not to divulge) for the Reader's Digest National Word Power Challenge last year. My literature teacher commented recently that I am the only student that she's ever had that has used the word 'ubiquitous' in a school paper. I was mildly surprised.
15. I cannot stand the taste of Hershey's Kisses. They taste waxy.
16. I recently had a scare with a new MacBook that wasn't mine. I wanted to show the media specialist at my school how to take out the hard drive, and when I put it back together, it would not turn on. It eventually worked. I don't think I've ever been more relieved in my life—that's $1000 that I don't have the money to give out for a computer that I broke.
17. I have owned three iPods in the last two years. Darn things keep breaking.
18. For whatever reason, many of my friends come to me when they have problems. I'm like their personal Dr. Phil.
19. Even though other people trust me to give them advice, I am unable to give myself the same advice I give them.
20. I used to think that my parents were overbearing and bad, until I started paying attention to my friend's complaints about their parents. One of my friends has something like $20 per month to spend on clothes, outings, school lunches, or anything outside of the bare necessities. Another can't get her own email account because her parents are afraid that she will wind up getting stalked if her parents can't constantly monitor her emails. I feel very lucky now.
