25 Random things

Yes this is one of those social networking site things but I did it anyway because you can make them meaningful if you answer the questions with some thought. This one did appeal to me because it was simple and direct. List 25 things about yourself. Simple enough here you go. read ahead at your your leisure, risk or not at all.

1. I have two children a daughter and a son. I love them both dearly. My daughter doesn't speak to me, but I still love her just as much as if she did and my son and I are doing well.

2. I am a vegetarian, more specifically a lacto/ovo vegetarian. I will eat eggs and dairy products. I don't usually eat eggs though. This is the second time in my life I've been a vegetarian.

3. I love animals but I'm not an activist about them so if you eat the furry little woodland creatures that's fine with me but I've heard their revenge is heart attacks.

4. I have 5 books I'm currently in the middle of reading, I'm like this all of the time and it takes me a while to read a book unless I sit and focus on it.

5. I like one TV show and watch movies as much as I can, I heart my netflix account.

6. I did not grow up in the city where I live.

7. I have had 27 different addresses in the US. My current address is where I have lived the longest in one space of time in my whole life. I've been here for 5 years.

8. I have kept a journal of some kind since I was 16, I've lost most of them and have the ones I started when I was 22 on.

9. I recently quit smoking, I am, as of today, 172 days without cigarettes, I started smoking when I was 12 stealing my grandmother's and father's cigarettes

10. I have three tattoos which I designed and my tattoo artist has work in the new art museum here in Roanoke.

11. I am invisible, not really as in I can be seen and photographed but people don't see me.

12. I found my first love dead from suicide and it haunts my dreams still

13. I like to write, read and draw

14. I have two jobs and have had at least two jobs most of my life.

15. I have lost two houses to other people.

16. I was in a fraternity in college and was the best pledge of my pledge class. Sigma Pi Rocks!

17. I think I'm mildly OCD or ADD most likely it's ADD, I don't take medication for it but I do drink a lot of coffee.

18. I hate to proof read things, so as a result most people who read me think I'm an idiot- I just don't have the attention span to go back again.

19. I graduated with honors from college without reading a single book, not because I'm all that smart but because I went to class every day and took notes.

20. I fell down a shaft and was unconscious for a while, my friends left me there because they thought I was dead . I know this because after waking up and finding them later they told me that they thought I was dead and were freaking out about how they would explain my death was an accident but they ran away anyway.

21. I have precognition dreams but I ignore them

22. I like my full time job, it's stressful and unrewarding and I may only make a difference in peoples lives for 30 days at a time but my current boss makes me want to quit my job or kill myself.

23. I love my part time job teaching. I hope more that I teach people to think and explore rather then memorize and repeat.

24. I think the only people who should discuss religion or politics are those paid to do so, but they shouldn't be the one in charge of running things.

25. I think a good deed is better than a good idea and I try to do this in my life, I'm not perfect and I make a lot of mistakes, I try not to make the same ones but I am a huge procrastinator.
