Me! ...or you... really, us. Just throw out 25 random facts about yourself!
1. I knew what my oldest daughter's name was going to be at age 14.
2. I have an irrational fear of anything man-made that is larger than it should be. Not a "run screaming into the hills" fear, but they definitely make me uneasy.
3. I LOVE roleplaying games. I love the concept, I love trying to wrap my head around the rules, I love everything about them.
4. Well, not quite everything. I have issues with roleplaying gamers. I've met too many that fit the "stereotype."
5. I love music that makes me want to move. So what if I can't dance? ;)
6. "Music that makes me want to move" includes gothic, industrial, and metal.
7. I became a Miami Dolphins fan at age 6 because I thought dolphins were so cool!
8. I'm convinced that my daughter's choice of favorite football team will either build character or make her a very crabby old lady because she thinks lions are so cool... ;)
9. There are things I regret doing or not doing in my life, but I wouldn't go back and change them now, because I like where those choices brought me.
10. If I shaved my facial hair, I'd look about 12.
11. Despite almost eleven years of marriage and three kids, I still don't have gray hair.
12. I take pride in being a geek.
13. Screw Klingon, I really want to learn Quenya.
14. My hair is almost the exact same color as my eyes.
15. I love cooking!
16. ...and I really wish I had more spices in the pantry. I'd experiment with all of it.
17. German food is still my favorite food ever.
18. I'm married to my brother's wife's sister.
19. One off the best compliments I have ever gotten is that I'm "passionate."
20. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to cold. I get hives all over when I have to go out in low temperatures...
21. I like to FARK. Seriously, minds out of the gutter, folks... ;)
22. My favorite movie is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Yes, I consider that one movie.
23. I don't drink tequila anymore. Drinking tequila does one of two things to me: Make me want to fight or cause me to be sobbing uncontrollably on the front lawn.
24. I have a rather odd theory on UFOs. Ask me sometime and maybe I'll tell you. Seriously, it's strange.
25. I never in my life thought that raising a boy would be harder than raising girls... Probably because my girls aren't teenagers yet... :pity:
Alright everyone! Lets see your odd totally random facts!

Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
1. I'm awesome.
That's not really a random fact. But since the random facts are affected by that awesomeness it's pretty much an umbrella fact.
I enjoy lists. Here I go.
1. I don't wear deodorant as a rule of thumb unless I'm going out somewhere nice (usually not even then) and have never been told I smell bad and I don't shower all that often (after work I'll shower, before sex, etc).
2. If we are dating I will dress up in a suit on random unimportant occasions. Just to show you how important you are to me. I suppose #2 makes up for #1.
3. I am a night owl and recently have been staying up for days on end and taking naps in between. Yesterday I woke up at 8am, worked til 5 and stayed up til 4 am only to sleep til 12:30pm today and I'm still up now and going strong after sleeping a few hours after staying up a day.
4. I enjoy diet sodas in comparison to regular sodas because regular soda tastes way too sweet. My cousin and dad are both diabetics and can't drink regular sodas and I used to hang around my cousin a lot and live with my dad so I'm sure that plays into it.
5. Up until several months ago I consider myself to be "In a relationship" with someone since I was 16 years old. I am finding out a lot about myself being single and at the moment it still has its ups and downs but as time has gone on there are days that I really find myself enjoying time with myself (I never thought I'd say that).
6. I'm a registered independent and up until recently didn't really give a flying **** about politics. I now find myself starting to educate myself on topics that interest me. Why was I registered independent? Because at the time I had shoulder length hair and the guy at the DMV said "I had that kind of look" so I just agreed. I still think politicians are dirty and crooked and if you think we've got a bad one for 4 years in "year a,b,c,d" or year "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h" then wait until the next one comes along and you may have worse.
7. I'm a pacifist by nature. The one and only time I have ever written my congressman was to tell him that I disagree with war, period. I keep that letter in my firebox because I'm scared of being drafted into a war that I don't believe in and plan to use every measure I possibly can to stand tall on not going to war.
8. For years I considered myself a believer in a higher power. Now I'm not so sure. I suppose this is because of my general bitterness towards the world in general and I feel it (higher power) has some serious damn explaining to do to me. I now consider myself a mixture of eastern religions and some stuff half of you would call me crazy over (note: not scientology, that's crazy even for me). I have thought of joining a buddhist monastery.
9. I think I have commitment issues with life in general. I can't seem to single a direction down and stick with it. I've been to college once for horticulture and botany; some of which was greatly interesting and otherwise incredibly boring and I have picked up the A+ manual (fixing computers) and dropped that as well. I need/want to go for something in computers but can't quite narrow it down.
10. I consider myself fairly depressed, pessimistic and angry but refuse treatment due to me trying it before and feeling like A)I wouldn't/couldn't get close to the psychiatrist and B)the pills made life feel more boring than when I wasn't on them. I do things to outlet the emotion but not nearly as often as I should.
11. I love sex but sometimes feel disgusted afterward. I'm not entirely sure why that is but have a good idea of where it starts.
12. I'm very open and honest with the majority of who I am. If you see me one way in a post you will find me the same way in real life. Except the skeletons in my closet(s) if you ask me a question I will answer it as honestly as I can.
13. I'm 24 have a license, no car and don't intend on owning one (or hopefully using one) for as long as I possibly can. Other people driving scares the **** out of me but more than that me driving scares me worse. I'll walk any day. I'm sure this won't hold up until I'm 70, though.
14. The old saying "Liquor before beer and you're in the clear; beer before liquor never been sicker" holds no merit when it comes to the amount of alcoholic beverages you are consuming. I have found this out on many a night.
15. I talk to myself about myself a lot. It's usually stuff I'd never admit to or tell anyone because I'm afraid it would creep them out.
16. I'm running out of things to say. There's only so many things that one can tell about themself before it goes from being a "random" list to "this is a list about this person". I wish I had more to say.
17. Up until a second ago I was in a panic because I couldn't find my wallet. My room is a mess. Kind of like my thoughts. And my life.
18. I have a dry sense of humor. I love monty python and kids in the hall. I love short witty comments that leave one rolling on the ground with laughter.
19. I've got no friends in my immediate area. One friend lives in california. One friend lives in north carolina. I don't talk to my cousin anymore. And most of the people I talk to are online. One friend does live in DE and I do hang out with him quite a bit. I'm also supposed to get together with PeaTearGriffin at some point and time for a Phins game (note to PTG, I will wear deodorant!)
20. Despite me being incredibly angry/depressed/pessimistic/etc I have an uncanny ability to fight through life and its struggles. I have a fighters mindset and have since birth. I was born 3 months premature in 1985 (year matters because of the lack of technological advances for preemies at the time) weighing 2lb and roughly the size of your hand. I dipped under that to roughly around 1. something something lbs. I was tested for 3 months and had to get all sorts of shots daily and my mom had to sign several waivers that said I might end up being blind, not having motor skills, might die, etc. I was dubbed "mighty mouse", "miracle baby", etc by the doctors, nurses. Many of whom still work at that hospital who I have thought about going back to visit but is one of those things that I just haven't done.
--------
I can't think of anything but I got to 20 with a lot of detail give me some credit.

So your wife is also your sister-in-law? Is that legal? I'm being serious...is that legal?


They aren't blood related at all so yes it's legal and not incestual at all.

I considered dating my cousin's wife sister but it was too ackward and I got tired of heaing from my family on how bad it is to do it. Old school Asian parents & relatives are so superstitious and annoying.
