Seven Weird/Random Things About Me

Cyberpunk tagged me, so here goes:

Seven Weird/Random Things about Me:

1. Weird Pets

I used to have a pet Burmese python. He was my pet from age 15 'til I was about 25. He was about eight feet long and bigger around than my arm when he was grown. I eventually sold him because I was too busy to take care of him. I was kind of a science geek as a kid and kept lots of weird pets.

2. Birthday

I have the same birthday as my older brother: we were born on the same day, four years apart.

3. The Big Easy

I lived in New Orleans (the "Big Easy") back in 2000-2001. I moved there to finish my theological studies and spent about a year an a half there. I used to tell my parents that it wouldn't surprise me if the whole city ended up under water some day (nope, I don’t believe I’m a prophet—just observant). New Orleans really grew on me and I miss that city.

4. Valentine's Day Curse

With only one exception that I can remember, I never seem to have a girlfriend around Valentine's Day (this one coming up isn’t looking too good either). It isn't intentional--I'm not too kuripot (cheap) to buy flowers, promise.

5. Sober for Life

I've never been drunk and don't really have a desire to know what it feels like.

6. Musically Mixed Up

I really don't like country music, even though I grew up in Alabama. My musical taste is quite eclectic, including techno, heavy metal and classical (almost everything except country).

7. Fat Chance

Believe it or not, I was a bit on the chubby side as a kid: not really “fat,” but I definitely wasn’t in very good shape. Maybe this is why I’m so conscientious about my health and body now. Speaking of which, time to go to the gym . . .

OK, I tag Tina. You're it!!
