It was done as homework for SG' s and hopefuls, but I figured that maybe it would be nice to post on this about myself if anyone was interested.
10: I was a chef for a number of years however, I have never had a culinary degree nor taken any culinary classes. My start in the kitchen came with the love of cooking with my Grandmother. Baking, cooking, playing with flavors, this was all the best parts of my childhood and my life than spending time in the kitchen with her. These memories keep my heart pumping. After her death in 2004, I took up the mantle of making Christmas cookies in her place.
9: I am a diabetic and a horrible one at that. I can't get with this diabetic deal. I hate it. It has been 5 years and I can't get myself disciplined enough to get myself healthy. I can't get myself to test my blood regularly nor keep up with my insulin. I have had a fasting blood sugar of 365 the last 5 years. At this rate, I will never die, I will just crystalize.
8: I am a sketch artist, but I am to critical of myself to post any of my sketches. Initially, I joined SG because of the study of nudes and the incredible and beautiful women. I have used an SG as inspiration for sketching many many times
7: I also am a writer. I have a storyline in my head for my own comic book, and 5 other novels that I just need to get off my ass and write. My Achilles heel is that I get my best stories while working and when I get home, I can't remember how beautifully it played out in my head. One day, I may get them all down on paper rather than bits and pieces from each story.
6. I have lived on my own since I was 17. I had a chance to go to college from high school, but I decided that I needed a couple years off to figure out what it took to make a life rather than waste time and money on a degree that would never serve me. I should have gone to college when I had the best chance.
5: I almost am an Anthropologist. When I did finally go back to school, I went to play hockey. After two years, my councilor asked me my major. I hadn't picked any so she looked over my transcript. I was 3 credits shy of a minor in Anthropology and 15 credits shy of required classes to have it as a major. Eventually, life :as it does, got in the way. I am still 3 credits shy and 9 required classes shy of that degree
4: I want to move back to Germany. I was being recruited by AFRC to be a chef in Garmish, but I decided that if I was to go to Germany, I didn't want to cook American food. I packed two suitcases, $6K and my resume and flew to Munich to start a new life. It was my lack of conversational German that prevented me from getting a job. It was the diabetes that forced me to fly home.
3: I am a hopeless romantic and will give my heart to quickly and to easily. It has burnt me over and over again, but I still believe in the magic of love and the hope that I can trust my heart and soul with someone. Maybe I will be worthy of someone's heart as well one day
2: I don't drink nor smoke. Mostly I don't like the smell/ taste of either. Also I don't like not being in control of myself. In working as a bouncer and seeing people intoxicated and in trouble, I just never wanted to be that person.
1:I read constantly. I have a sizable library. The three biggest collections I have are Native American Philosophy/ writing, Stephen King, and Hockey books. I read history, the newspaper every day, biographies, whatever I can get my hands on. I have metaphysical books, horror stories, biographies, fiction, even all the text books from college... every one of them. I have milk crates of magazines. I can't get a Nook or a Kindle. the feel of paper between my fingers and the smell of the paper is just comforting to me
I hope that you have enjoyed my 10 facts, and that you find something similar to you as well. Thank you for reading
