A friend of mine on Twitter did this on her blog and it inspired me to do the same. Thank you, Rachel, for the idea! :)
It's very similar to the "25 random things about me" survey that circulated on Facebook several months back, only this list will be a little different. It may overstep some boundaries, so I'm warning you ahead of time. If you can keep an open mind and tolerate my dry humor, you may just enjoy it.
So, onward...
1_ People that say "washing your hair, daily, is unhealthy" kind of creep me out. The last woman I went on a date with actually told me this. I'm a little glad it did not work out. That's a little gross.
2_ I live a very tidy and organized lifestyle and when I see messes at others' homes or cars - I have an insatiable urge to clean it for them.
3_ Taking a crap anywhere other than my own bathroom creeps me out. I refuse to do it, unless it's an emergency. :)
4_ Music is a HUGE release for me. I use it as therapy for anguish, frustration, and anxiety. It also, puts me to sleep most nights.
5_ I have owned an electric guitar for 5 years and only just signed up for formal lessons two months ago! I had to put lessons on hold for a month because of the holidays and now I'm afraid I won't pick them back up!
6_ Its frustrating to me that I can't watch my cousin's little girl and future baby grow up. Zoey, is such a cute, fun, ball of energy. When I do get to see her, I feel 20 yrs younger.
7_ When I was in high school, I went on 13 second dates... (It's amazing the things I remember!) The number of second dates I've had in the last 5 years? Four.
8_ Adults that can not talk about sex or anything related to it, annoy me. Open up your mind and live a little freer! I feel sorry for my kids, if I ever have any.
9_ I think the idea of gays not being able to marry is crap. People act like churches are going to burst into flames, if they marry in them. I promise, they won't.
10_ While on the subject, I think the ability to get married in a courthouse should be outlawed. If you can't afford a wedding, then you probably shouldn't be getting married, in the first place.
11_ I sometimes wonder what was the matter with snail-mail to begin with... Why E-mail? Because we're lazy? One of my goals for 2010 - to more consistently MAIL out cards, letters, etc.
12_ My best friend, Justin, from back home in Indiana... has been my best friend for 19 years. We've never argued or fought over anything!
13_ I haven't argued or fought with my sister, either, since I was probably 13 years old. I fought with her when I younger, but I love her to death now. Funny how that happens.
14_ I find body hair to not only be a nuisance, I find it disgusting. I'll leave that to you to figure out.
15_ I love animals and to see anyone abuse or mistreat them makes me want to whip them in the face with barbed-wire.
16_ I committed myself to the vegetarian lifestyle on May 30, 2009 and have only succumbed to a craving only once; when visiting my cousin and his wife in Wisconsin over the 4th of July.
17_ I can clearly remember situations and scenarios I've been in all the way back to Elementary School... yet sometimes, can not remember what I spent $10 on a week ago. I now keep receipts.
18_ I will never use computer programs or the Internet to do my taxes. Forms and writing utensils work just as great for me.
19_ I easily get hung-up on certain music-artists. Until I find someone even better. I had a phase where I absolutely loved Martina McBride and lived, breathed, and showered to her music. It then, switched to Green Day, then Disturbed, now it's Elbow (a wonderful, wonderful band from the UK).
20_ I switched positions with my current employer in April of 2009, exiting the weather forecasting industry. I still wonder if it was the right decision, in some respects, but I am a much more positive and happy person because of it.
21_ I wore glasses up until I was 14 years old, when tested out of them. Shortly after college, in 2001, I had to get glasses again.
22_ While on the subject, the thought of putting anything "into" my eye disturbs me. As a result, I've never considered contacts and never will.
23_ Photography isn't particularly a new hobby for me, but over the past several months, I've taken a much keener interest in it. I'm almost considering getting into it on a more professional level. As in printing and selling work.
24_ I took up hiking as a hobby this past summer and this year, I want to continue this on a much grander scale. I want to travel more, hike more, and see more of the country. I will visit Glacier National Park and/or Yellowstone at some point, this summer.
25_ My favorite color is navy blue, my favorite snack food - frozen strawberries or ice cream, and my favorite air temperature is 87° F.
26_ Anything involving hot water, I absolutely love. Long, hot showers, hot-tubs, or hot baths. Although, I don't think I've taken a bath in 3 years.
27_ I tend to contemplate and analyze my life either in the shower or when I'm either walking, jogging, or biking outdoors.
28_ I will watch porn on occasion. I'm not ashamed nor embarrassed about it. Why should I be?
29_ I miss Shirley Manson. She was beautiful and made sweet, sweet music.
30_ The three best investments I've ever made: my car (2002), my bed (2004), and my HDTV (2009).
31_ Twitter may seem pointless to some people, but I've made some of my newest and best friends on it.
33_ I still download music via Limewire. The RIAA can shove it. :)
34_ I can't stand liars and feel trust and communication to be the basis for all relationships, romantic or not!
35_ I'll always believe that love and support will always trump money problems...
36_ While I say I really don't care what people think of me, I still hate to have enemies.
37_ I believe in the strength of the human spirit. It can overcome so, so much!
38_ The worst pain I've ever endured was my kidney stone. I quit drinking soft drinks after that episode. In addition, since then, I've also watched my sugar and salt intake.
39_ I don't know exactly why, but I've always been most attracted to women that are shorter than me.
40_ I am a very sensitive guy. And that fact scares me to death. I'm concerned that if I ever do get married that I'll be crying more than anyone else at my own wedding!
41_ I'm currently in love with this song: "Forget Myself" - Elbow http://tinysong.com/78vf
