  • Everyone else is doing it...

    I might as well do it too.  No, I'm not going to discuss rape.  This has been that factoid/habit/goal thing that has been floating around Xanga the past few days.  I have been lazy or maybe just busy because my premium ran out.  Oh I had more than enough but I figured out how many credits I needed for my next year of premium and then figured out how many credits that meant per day.  Then I figured how many comments that would take.  I even got out the old white board to draw diagrams.  Actually I didn't but I got really freaking anal about the eprops for premium stuff. 

    Oh by the way I have a little over 18,000 credits which means I need 7,000 credits for another year of premium.  So that means I need at least 19 a day.  That is ten comments a day.  All of this does not include the potential for the freebies or the survey things.  God...I really need a girlfriend.

    OK so I will be kind and won't tag anyone but if you read this and haven't done this then I expect to see it on your Xanga soon, hot shot.

    1.  I wear a size 17 shoe.
    2.  I bite my fingernails.  I think this is because I am disgusted by long fingernails on men.  My dad has long fingernails and he doesn't care for them.  They are jagged and look awful.
    3.  I went to a prep school my freshman year of high school.  It was near the Mississippi River.  In the spring time, a few friends and I would go to a train bridge and jump into the river.
    4.  I have played the piano since I was 11 but I am terrible.  I can barely play three parts.  Sometimes I can play melody with chords
    5.  I was in choir for 8 semesters in college
    6.  I was a volleyball coach and my career record was 30 wins and 7 losses
    7.  Looking at me you would never guess I coached volleyball...I have a bit of a weight problem
    8.  Languages come easy to me unless it is a language which is dead and can not be spoken...screw you, Latin
    9.  I like to dress up when I go to the casino.
    10.  I hate Christmas music mostly because there is a radio station in the area that started playing Christmas music 24/7 the day after Halloween.
    11.  I am very insecure
    12.  I don't feel like I have accomplished much of anything with my life
    13.  I have two cats and they are very strange.  Currently one is in my den with me and is staring at my mounted jackelope
    14.  I have a mounted jackelope as well as three deer heads and an elk head
    15.  I hunt and have almost lost my life doing so
    16.  I have had 5 car accidents and 4 have involved deer
    17.  I am addicted to music and movies and I refuse to go to rehab for this problem
    18.  There were two times where I almost got married so that two different girls could get their greencards. 
    19.  Sometimes the only thing I feel that I have in life is my health problems which over a year after being discovered the doctors have no clue what it is and I will probably get to hear more of that tomorrow.
    20.  I am an only child.
    21.  I have a fear of birds.  I was divebombed while on vacation as a kid and the bird crapped all over my face.  Also, my aunt and uncle raised parrots and they would attack me.  Birds hate me so I avoid them at all costs.
    22.  I can not count the number of weddings that I have been a part of as a groomsman or an usher. 
    23.  When I watch poker on the TV, every time I hear an announcer say, "Jack, off suit" I giggle.  I also giggled when I heard an announcer say "He needs a Queen to get a straight"
    24.  At that first high school I mentioned earlier, the music professor called me Lucas.  Lucas sat next to me.  The biggest difference between Lucas and myself was that he was African American and for the most part I am Caucasian
    25.  For one year at my second high school, I lived in a house that sat on mound less than 20 yards behind the school.  The school owned the house and the principal lived there.  Well he died before the school year started but that isn't important to this fact.  Anyway his keys to the school were still in the house.  The other guys I lived with in the house along with myself took the keys one night and we ran through the school hallways naked.  The only downfall was that there were two teachers working.  We didn't know that when we began.  The next day in English class my teacher asked if I had fun the night before and then she smiled.

    There's more than 25 things there but I was in a sharing mood.
