1.) I have worked a lot of random jobs throughout my life: Security guard, Chef's aid for a dining hall, at a dog food factory, at a hydroponics nursery, as a property inspector for Keller Williams, Best Buy, cable and internet technician, a genetics lab, and the IT help desk for CU.
2.) I am a HUGE sci-fi fan. I've seen every episode of every Star Trek. I'm currently obsessed with Battlestar Galactica. And I'm pretty sure I have in storage pretty much every Star Wars and Star Trek collectible released in the mid 90s.
3.) I have a goal of visiting one country for each year I'm alive. I have some catching up to do, I'm only 19/21 right now.
4.) I know where the Obama family stays in Hawaii and have walked on the beach past the place where they stay. It's about 5 minutes from my grandparents.
5.) I put my dad's Ford Bronco into neutral at the top of a hill when I was 7. I bailed out when it started rolling. Casualties: A couple fences and a handcrafted Pink Flamingo mailbox.
6.) I had never seen the movie Fight Club until last May. Somehow my movie background is full of holes.
7.) I've been to 6 of the 7 continents and have considered volunteering at McMurdo Station just so I can get the 7th.
8.) I started an ant club in elementary school and typed up a contract of rules for the safe observation of ants. I made about a dozen of my classmates sign it.
9.) I'm red/green colorblind, and as a result Christmas is a very visually confusing time for me.
10.) I can talk like Donald Duck, Yoda, and Gollum.
11.) Sometimes I wish I could just drop everything and live out my days in a cabin in the mountains.
12.) I have 5 or 6 scars on my hands and fingers from a demonic cat I had as a child named smokey. CURSE YOU SMOKEY!!!
13.) I ate the beating heart of a cobra whilst in Vietnam.
14.) I used to write with my left hand until an elementary school teacher forced me to switch because "You'll never amount to anything writing with your left hand" As a result I write equally poorly with either hand.
15.) I had the nickname of Freight Train from my high school hockey days. I'm not really a finesse player, I just plow striaght through people.
16.) I have always been mesmorized by the ocean. The waves, the sand, the sounds, the smell, I love it all!
17.) I've been building my own computers since about 5th grade.
18.) When I was born my umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck so I came out about to suffocate. When the doctors gave me oxygen they punctured a hole in my lung. Sometimes I wonder if my brain was affected and this is why I have so much trouble with Chemistry. I still have a scar from the tube they used to reinflate my lung.
19.) I once started a fire with a plastic magnifying glass in my backyard. You can still see the scorchmarks on the fence.
20.) For some reason I have this weird thing where I like to touch my nose to a dog's nose. I can't explain why but I've always done it. It's just an overwhelming desire.
21.) I think bread belongs in the freezer. As a result I have NEVER had a piece of bread go moldy.
22.) I bitterly despise Broccoli and Cauliflower. Once I graduate as a molecular biologist I will create a pathogen that will eradicate these two vegetables. Yeah, it's that strong of a dislike.
23.) I have a tough time expressing excitement beyond a certain level. I think if I won millions of dollars I would still just be like "Wooo! I won money! yay!"
24.) I always feel self conscious when I'm trying to yell to get someone's attention. It's like I'm afraid I'll yell their name wrong or everyone will think I'm crazy. Which doesn't make sense.
25.) When I was younger, I used to catch lizards and frogs in Florida and smuggle them back to Colorado where I kept them as pets. They even got a formal burial in the backyard.
