25 things introduction



I wrote this almost 4 years ago, so its fun to see it again today.
By means of introduction, these are 25 things about me.

25. I wouldn't change a thing, the good, the bad or the ugly, because I'm truly grateful for what I've got.
24. In a parallel universe, I climb mountains and live out of my car (the old nissan I cracked on the bridge).
23. I've been in 3 major car accidents and 1 motorcycle accident, all as a passenger.
22. I once dove headfirst out of a helicopter.
21. I seriously considered spending the rest of my life in Nepal and tried to get lost there.
20. In 1996 I walked over 2,000 miles to avoid getting a "real job".
19. Brussel sprouts smell like gym socks to me.
18. I was a vegetarian for 10 years, and a pescevegan for two.
17. I cannot stand the sight of eggplant.
16. I now eat red meat, rare.
15. The scariest dream I ever had, was when the world drained of color, and everything was only outlines of black and white.
14. My craziest dreams are in cartoon.
13. If I eat meat or tomatoes after 8, I have wicked nightmares.
12. Having never thought I'd have children, I'm surprised by how obsessed I am with them. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is have one of them on my lap reading a book.
11. I often try to create a scenario whereby I attain my PHD without taking the GRE's.
10. I managed to receive my Master's without taking the GRE's.
9. I once worked for a women as her personal assistant. I stood in line with her credit card while she shopped and threw things at me.
8. The worst job I ever had was as a bank teller.
7. I actually told someone to go "f--k" themselves.
6. I have a serious potty mouth. Thanks Dad.
5. I cannot remember directions from here to the grocery store, if you tell me.
4. I can remember a meal I had in the USSR in 1990.
3. I once played soccer in a stadium filled with 10,000? people.
2. I used to follow the Grateful Dead, but I was a useless hippy.
1. I'm often told how relaxed I seem, and then I notice I've been grinding my teeth.
