I am working at the front desk and putting off homework; specifically mathematical statistics. Therefore I am going to listen to a random shuffle of my music and compose a list of facts about me...not that anyone should be really interested, I just don't want to do homework. Why 32 things, though? Well, because its a power of 2 (2^5 to be exact) and powers of 2 are more friendly than multiples of things. They are in no specific order.
1) Rajaonarivony is a Malagasy name that means "Sir John Brown"... a let down I know.
2) I will always test positive for TB, but will never get it because of a vaccine I was given when I was born.
3) I was born in Heidelburg, Germany in a civilian hospital.
4) Right after I was born I had a spring-like object screwed into my skull to test for stress. The scar is still there.
5) I love to ride my bike and would rather ride my bike somewhere than drive a car.
6) In high school I was the snare squad leader with my friend. We were the tasty percussion.
7) If I didn't like the way the snare part for a marching band song sounded, my band director would let me rewrite it.
8) I love not wearing shoes.
9) I don't like wearing pants, but by pants I mean something that covers both your legs completely. Shorts are my fare.
10) I used to be a complete computer geek, but God (by way of some friends at Taylor sometimes) has broken me out of my shell. Now I can hold a conversation without talking about them!
11) God has broken me in more ways than I can count.
12) I am incredibly observant...except when it has to do with me. When that happens I am usually clueless.
13) I am 50% Malagasy on my father's side.
14) I am trying to learn French because half my family (once again on my father's side) speaks it as a first or second language. English is usually their third, farther back, or they don't learn it.
15) I love music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's.
16) Five Iron Frenzy is my favorite band of all time.
17) I believe that every man should know how to cook at least a little.
18) I love baking pies, they are just time-consuming.
19) I have had lemurs climb all over me.
20) I absolutely love to build things with my hands.
21) I always wanted a brother or sister, but am an only child.
22) I have been through a lot of crap. If I trust you a lot, and the subject comes up, I might tell you about it.
23) God has changed me a TON for the better, unfortunately I still have a long way to go.
24) I really like to hang out with people, especially at a coffee house.
25) I have 5 instant messaging clients that are all shown through one application on my computer. When someone gets on, it alerts me, it doesn't matter who it is or on what chat client. So if I message you right when you get on, I am not stalking you. Just fyi.
26) I am sort of fed up with the American culture and our ignorance of the rest of the world.
27) I love learning about other cultures.
28) I love change. Not the pocket kind, but the kind that keeps things exciting.
29) Because my parents are divorced, and my father's parents are divorced, dating relationships scare me.
30) I find women incredibly scary/confusing.
31) I have been gut-punched by God before...not fun, but needed.
32) I love to try new foods (provided they don't look like they could kill me...like centipedes...)
