Just a little something I did on Facebook today...
1. There is a guy in my office building who uses the bathroom stall and proceeds to cover all the possible "viewpoints" in, with toilet paper. He literally tears off a long piece of toilet paper and drapes it over the corners of the stall, thus creating some sort of curtain/safety barrier for him. Nobody has ever seen this process actually take place, but we've all seen the evidence. We've named him "The Toilet Paper Bandit" and i've been narrowing down the possible culprits for the past year and a half. As of now, I only know who is not the TPB.
2. My process when brushing my teeth: Turn on faucet. Run toothbrush under water. Apply toothpaste. Run toothbrush w/ toothpaste under water. Brush.I'm not sure why I do it this way and i'm not even sure if its normal. But I do know, I will pass it on to my own kids some day when teaching them how to brush their teeth.
3. I do not have a Uvula (or Tonsils).
4. When I was in little league, I used to have to shower before my games no matter what. I knew I was just going to get dirty and sweaty, but it was my superstition and if I didn't I would have a bad game. I then carried this on to Pop Warner Football and then to my High School games. I've since earned the nickname: ShowerBoi.
5. I started playing baseball when I was in 2nd grade and played up until my senior year of high school. Every single time since my first "At Bat" I would say a quick prayer. I wouldn't ever pray that I would hit a Homerun or even that I would get a hit...every single time I prayed, I would ask God to protect me and to not let the pitcher bean me. I became a Christian around 8th grade. And I've only been hit by a pitch once and it was intentional and it didn't hurt because it only barely grazed my jersey...that pitcher is probably in jail now for a hate crime.
6. My mom used to have to use baby oil to keep my hair from standing straight up when I was a little one. This beautiful thick hair is a gift and a curse.
7. I'm planning a trip to the Philippines and I'm much more nervous about seeing my real Dad then anything else. Oh yeah, did I mention that I've never traveled outside of North America, I don't speak Tagalog or Spanish, and I've never independently traveled further than Denver?
8. I have better eyesight than anyone i've ever met. Seriously, its like God gave me binoculars for pupils. I recently started wearing eyeglasses once in a while cause I like the way I look in them...but my main reason is that I wear them to protect my great eyesight from allergans, bees or other flying objects, and stooges who are jealous of my great eyesight.
9. I'm really, really bad at "small talk".
10. I think that my left hand and right foot both have fractures, but I haven't gone to the doctor to check it out. I'm serious, I have a high pain tolerance (and a tiny bit of hypochondria)
11. I get anxiety when starting a new season of a tv show that I consistently watch. I actually missed the Season 1 Finale of Heroes and haven't watched it since. All of my roommates watch it, but I purposely leave the room or hum to myself so that I don't hear anything until I catch up. I've done the same thing with Lost.
12. I use Brilliant Brunette shampoo because I like the way it smells.
13. I still count with my fingers. But I love math.
14. I wore tighty whiteys up until college. To this day i've still never had to buy my own socks or underwear (With one exception: my friend/old roommate Loren and I went halfsies on a pack of Hanes once because we didn't have time to do laundry.) Don't judge me. It gives my mom an extra gift to give me at Christmas.
15. Random Fact: I am an extremely good looking guy. God made me short for the sole purpose to keep me from being less tempted by mobs of interested women. Once I mature a little more, God promised he would give me that growth spurt i've been waiting for.
16. I want to go to culinary school...but I have no desire to become a chef. I just want to be classically trained and have all the techniques and skills to be an impressive cook at home. I am already pretty good though.
17. I thought I swallowed my lip ring yesterday at lunch. I ended up throwing up lunch, but didn't see the lip ring. Later that night I was eating my leftovers and discovered that I didn't swallow it.
18. I'm afraid of most roller coasters.
19. Recently I've noticed that girls are more attractive to me when they are wearing some shade of green.
20. I've lived in either LA, SD, or OC my whole entire life and to this day I am still a little afraid of the ocean.
21. When I was a kid, there was a time when the hair on my left knee was growing in gray. I told my mom that I thought I had cancer. She told me it was from the scarred tissue that I had in my knee from sliding in baseball. My knee hair is no longer gray, but I still might have Cancer in my knee.
22. My favorite # is 22. But its also been #1, #2, #10, and #4. I have a hard time with favorites. For instance, today my favorite animal is a Sea Otter, but that could all change tomorrow.
23. Whenever I turn the volume up or down on something, it must always be an even #. Odd numbers are just weird.
24. I'm waiting until I hit my "goal weight" before I get my first tattoo.
25. I once went on a roadtrip with my grandparents when I was younger. We drove their RV from SD to Oregon. We stayed at a camp site for a few days and I met a bunch of friends while I was there. We had a huge Swing-Jumping Distance Tournament (you know, when you are on a swing and you launch yourself off). We were judged on how far we could fly. I won. I still think it's one of my finest accomplishments and I am contemplating adding it to my resume.
--I could probably do 100 of these randoms about me...enjoy!
