This seems to be the thing right now and it seems a good way to start writing on my site again. So here goes:
1. I am a die hard Red Wings fan. Even though I have never lived any closer to the state of Michigan than Colorado.(thanks Dad)
2. Both of my parents come from big families. My Dad has 6 brothers, My Mom has 4 sisters and 1 brother.
3. I hate the month of February.
4. Even though I have a good vocabulary and am well spoken I can’t spell to save my life.
5. I hold a record at my junior high for medalling in a state science competition 5 straight competitions. (only two per yer for three years, only one I missed was the first one my 7th grade year.)
6. I am a gamer but I can’t stand any of the Halo games. Do they revoke my card for that?
7. I have only watched one movie in a theater with the public in two years.
8. The apartment I live in is the first placed I have lived for more than a year in 7 years.
9. I have never broken up with a woman. All the relationships ended with me getting dumped.
10. I am hopelessly addicted to nerf guns. I own 13 at last count. They are great for shooting my minions with!
11. 2 of my 4 ex girlfriends are named Melissa. Yeah, no more of them. Sorry to any Melissas that have a crush on me.
12. I have currently broken 8 of the 10 commandments. Maybe 9 depending on your interpretation. I will leave it to you to figure out which. 
13. I am horribly competitive. Although I have worked on this in recent years.
14. I have visited 14 states. Alaska, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and Utah.
15. Only visited a strip club once in my life. On my 21st birthday. Thanks Duckie!

17. I have given more posters to other people than I have ever kept for myself.

19. I have a pre-occupation with watches. I own 6, only 2 of which currently work.

Me too, but I grew up in Detroit
4. Even though I have a good vocabulary and am well spoken I can’t spell to save my life.
Spelling in english is about memorization of patterns. I most other languages it is about remembering the rules. I can’t spell either.
8. I am a member of ITS. The International Thespian Society.
Me too.
I should probably do the whole 25 things post at some point.

February 9th, 2009 at 12:13 am2. Both of my parents come from big families. My Dad has 6 brothers, My Mom has 4 sisters and 1 brother.
- my mum has 7 siblings, father had 12 but it went down to 7 (the freaky part is that the ones who were born as even numbers died as kids)…
6. I am a gamer but I can’t stand any of the Halo games. Do they revoke my card for that?
- being a gamer myself, i too am not a fan of halo, honestly speaking…
