So, I got tagged by my friend Abby, and I went to see what I had to do, but I couldn't find it on her blog. I think I'm supposed to write 7 things that people may not know about me, so I'll go with that. I note that these are not going to be fantastic, I don't want to divulge too much.

1. Whenver I'm working or studying, I like to have food (this isn't the part that most people won't know, everyone knows I like to eat). But, I can't stand to eat whatever I have throughout the studying process. I need to eat it all right away and then I can proceed to study. For example, in college, I would always buy packages of Swedish Fish (the big bags). I'd tell myself, this time, I'm going to make the fish last a while. Never happened, I'd start to read, get about 10 words and start to go to town. By the time the package was finished, I'd make it to about page three.

2. I think a perfect job for me would be something similar to what Stephen Colbert does. I think I could do this well, as I've got a pretty dry sense of humor at times and can deadpan pretty well.

3. When I was learning to waterskii, the following people were at fault when I couldn't get up on one skii...my Dad was number one (he didn't give it enough gas, he gave it too much gas, he picked the wrong side of the lake, he let too many people sit in the back of the boat, he let me eat too many sandwhiches for lunch); next would be God or Jesus, since after I blamed my Dad, I'd blame God or Jesus. Next were my friends in the boat, since they didn't distribute their weight properly. After that, the hot ladies that weren't in the boat were at fault, I like to show-off and not for my friends that aren't hot ladies, well them too. Finally was me, but this was only a small percentage.

4. My Mom makes pretty much the best cupcakes ever. I've tried to make these once and failed miserably. In high school, the Thursday before every home football game we went to eat at someone's house. When this was at my house, we watched Predator and amongst other food, there was a ton of cupcakes. We told a couple people that one of the cupcakes had mayo instead of frosting (ala Hostess cupcakes)...and if you found the mayo cupcake you'd win a prize. Idiots ate like ten cupcakes. Note...I eat this many and am not an idiot because I'm not trying to find one with mayo.

5. Many people have problems doing things by themselves, such as eating a meal. I have no problem with this and sometimes enjoy it. This can be whether or not I'm out of town where I don't know anybody, or whether I'm in town. Simply because no one is around is not a reason why I won't do something. That being said, I have yet to go to go somewhere in Iowa and drink by myself (unless you count dsm911 being habitually 7 hours late:) ). I went to a law school visit in North Carolina...by myself. I left my hotel room, found a place to grab a steak and then went to a bar that had a fantastic 80's cover band. I had 3 or 4 beers and it was a great time.

6. A lot of my friends know this, but I'll eat pretty much everything and try anything, as long as it's not mustard, olives, pepperoni, cole slaw or potato salad. There might be a couple more, but I'll eat octopus before I'd eat a tomato and I have. I'll gladly eat snail (I have) before I'd eat a piece of pepperoni. Sometimes, my thoughts with food are way off though. I held off for years from eating cheesecake because I thought it sounded stupid. Seriously, why would something called cheese-cake taste good. My mom kept telling me I'd love it and as usual, she's right.

7. If you're a guy and someone buys you a shot, you should not do any of the following:
a. smell it
b. ask what it is
c. whine about it
-these rules apply if the person that bought the shot is drinking the same thing. Do not apply if you're too drunk to take the shot.

8. (one extra one, because no.7 isn't really about me) When I was a freshman/sophomore in high school, I hung out with Droid a lot (something I continue to do this day). I had a master plan. Hit the town with Droid and the chicks would flock to us. Then I started thinking, wait, if I'm standing next to the guy with muscles everywhere, are chicks going to want to talk to me, at least the hot ones? Good thing I have amazing wit and charm :)
