Apparently I've been tagged by Calypso, so here's 20 interesting facts about myself...
hmm... not a very interesting opening...
1. I'm a hopeless romantic. So much so that I've never been in a relationship that lasted less than a year.
2. I once traveled the east coast sans map. Just set my sights on the horizon and drove.
3. My biggest fear is leading a mediocre life.
4. Starting in 2007 I'm going to start climbing the seven highest mountains in the world, one per year.
5. I lost 60 lbs in 6 months.
6. I once drove to Canada when I was 19 for alcohol, and after making the four hour trip, and sneaking the booze back into the country, me and my co-pilot were informed by my roomate at the time that she had a fake id.
7. I once broke my finger while bowling. Yes bowling. What's better, when I went to the E.R., the doctors came back in, showed me my x-ray, and then showed me a diagram in a book that looked exactly like the x-ray. They told me I had a perfect textbook break, and that they had never, ever seen one.
8. I'm a fiend for snugglin'.
9. Almost all of my close friends have at one time or another told me they trust me more than anyone else they have ever met. I love my close friends. I will take care of them forever.
10. I was a published artist in highschool, and then after taking someone elses ridilin on the bus to school one day my senior year, I dropped all my art classes and instead took math & science.
11. I was a published author at 13
12. Someday I will finish my screenplay
13. I believe the greatest gift I can give to anybody is the belief that they are able to accomplish anything, and to help them in that.
14. My heart is so broken and scarred that I'll be alone for the rest of my life.
15. I will still woo women, because I'm very good at it, and it gives them confidence. I just have to make them understand that we won't make it past the friend stage, and it really isn't them.
16. Once, after having a tooth extracted, when I was still under anasthesia, I tried to make out with my girlfriend in the recovery room, with blood & drool streaming down my face. I said "Give me a kiss", and she kissed me on the cheek. I said "No, a GOOD KISS", and tried to open mouth kiss her. She fought me off. Then, my hand started drifting up to my mouth with my finger out to check out the missing tooth, she smacked it away. The finger crept back up. She smacked it away. It crept up one more time, she grabbed it, said "NO!", and I looked at her, and in a deadpan voice said "I have no control over my body when it comes to these things".
17. As of this posting, I cannot actually walk.
18. I learned to cook to impress girls... I started when I was 12.
19. I once scared a bunch of Jehovahs Witnesses so bad they told their children they weren't to look at me, speak to me, or listen to anything I had to say.
20. I've seen someone die in a terrible way in front of me. There was no illegal activity going on around it, they weren't murdered. It was just a convergence of bad luck for all the people involved, and I happened to be there for it. It's not something I'm proud of, not something I ever want to see again, but if I did, I wouldn't feel a thing. I learned to shut off a part of my self in that moment, and I can still do it. I generally feel nothing for the rest of the human race. There are always exceptions by exceptional people.

I don't believe #14 at all. Then again, I have always believed that to be true of myself. Who knows? But I doubt that it will be true for you. You're too intelligent and too cute to end up alone.
I'm just an asshole.
