1. I'm a trained photographer with a degree in photographic technology and commercial photography. I've worked with many different companies but still under contract to not say which ones.
2. I'm from Dayton, Ohio but moved to Santa Rosa, California (where my wife is from). I did this with my wife across country. Took exactly a week to do.
3. I didn't know my father until I was 16.
4. I love to drive, especially in my Monte Carlo SS.
5. Probably one of the youngest people to film, edit, and publish a safety video for a multi-billion dollar company. I was 14 and used a dual 800 Power Mac G4 with Final Cut Pro 1! 😱
6. Met my wife when she was 15 and I was 17. We didn't get married until recently (her being 20 and me 23).
7. I have actually been to 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, CA. I just missed Jobs.
8. My favorite city in the world is San Francisco.
9 My least favorite city is Rawlins, Wyoming......
10. My favorite fast food place is In-n-Out Burger.
11. I'm saving up for a Corvette for when I'm 50. I'm a 1/4 of the way there.
12. I'm purchasing a Mustang Shelby GT 500 for my 25th birthday. My wife isn't too thrilled by that.
13. My family owns a Donut Shoppe in Dayton, Ohio. It's called Thacker's Donut Shoppe. I've always worked for everything I own that was more than $5.
14. Never smoked a day in my life, never even tried. Never had the want to.
15. Favorite drink is a Long Island Ice Tea.
16. Weighed nearly 350 pounds. Got tired of that and decided to lose weight. I didn't follow any diet plans, go to Subway, take pills, or anything else besides watch what I ate and walked more. I lost 125 pounds to bring my weight down to 225 pounds.
17. I am haunted by the number 1138 or just 38.
18. Have seen, heard, and felt ghosts. Not even kidding or make believing.
19. I have the complete collection over every Star Wars novel ever written. Yes, I'm that big of a nerd.
20. Plan on traveling the world more than I already have. One of the greatest things to do is see the world outside of your own country (and I'm still working on seeing everything inside the United States!).

So do you photograph kebabs? 😉
Doesn't planning for your midlife crisis kind of defeat the fun?
I am sitting here at work sorta bored...surfing MR, so I might as well post and kill some time.

It might seem so, but I'd start considering taking some precautions...
I used to drink 3 to 4 litres of coke a day, and was really skinny until I noticed my first "love handles" a few months after my 25th birthday... didn't think too much about it at the time, but 5 years later (after I quit smoking, too, just to add to injury) I was "suddenly" well over-weight...even if I also switched the 2-3 bottles of one and a half litre coca-cola a day for a cup or two of coffee...

Alright, a few to add to original 20
1. I've moved more times then I can count.
2. Actually, I could count it, and I have somewhere on these forums
3. The reason I'm not finding the thread I counted those times in, is because I'm extremely lazy
4. Math is my worst subject, Algebra in particular (which I failed this year)
5. I love reading, but can never find a book that catches my eye
6. I'm a Dr. Pepper addict, I drink more then I care to say.😱
7. Number 6 is probably also the reason I'm a fair bit overweight
8. I have many controversial, and some would say, flat out wrong opinions on a range of topics from politics to technology.
9. My favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip, followed closely by rocky road. (sp?)🙂
10. I honestly have no idea what I want as a career, and frankly am freaking out about that.
11. IMO, Mac OS X 10.4 > 10.5
12. Even though I tout myself as quite handy with computers, its all too often I actually have no idea what I'm doing/talking about.
13. Not to brag, but I think I have a fairly diverse vocabulary for my age.
14. And yet, I'm a horrible speller.
15. I'm quite stubborn, espescially in an argument, but even I have limits as to how long I will let it go on.
16. In addition to my poor spelling, my grammer ain't exactly top notch either.
17. As evidenced by #17, I am a southern girl, and use words like "ain't", "y'all", and I say "your" like "yur". 😀
18. Unlike many kids my age, I know how to drive a manual transmission vehicle, and do it quite well.
19. I have 4 siblings, ages 27, 17, 13 and the newest addition to our family, a 4 month old. 🙂
20. My parents names are Chris and Lilac. My siblings names are Luna, Sapphire, Derek and Cherish. (Three girls, one boy. )
I may have some to add later, but that's it for now. 🙂

I really wouldn't worry too much about that just now.
I had no idea what I wanted to do when I finished school at 16. All my friends were going onto college and I just had no clue. 2 weeks after my friends all went to college my dad drove me round to a few of them and I enrolled at a local place. 2 years later I didn't know what to do. 3 years of uni and I've just figured out what I want to do.
Just pursue what you're talented at or what you really like. You'll be surprised what kind of careers can crawl out of the wood.

Hmm, here we go...
1) I have lived in Kentucky my entire life.
2) I am 16.
3) My parents are divorced.
4) I own a 1995 Toyota Corolla with 229,854 miles on it that likes to burn oil.
5) I am probably the one of the few people of my age group that owns a Mac Pro.
6) I earn all of the money for my electronics myself.
7) There is one major reason why I possess such a powerful computer.
8) I am a metrophile, so to speak (metrophile = lover of public transportation, more specifically subways)
9) I visit New York City for the sole purpose of riding its subway.
10) I plan to become a subway train operator.

Well, that makes me feel a little better. It just seems like everyone knows where they're going and I got lost trying to read the map.
Hmm, since it's 3:10 AM where I am, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Oddly enough from all the people who had these big plans whilst at my school all changed their minds. Only their problem now is trying to get a different job to what they studied, some even enrolling on new courses.
Get to bed 😛
