25 Heart Wrenching Secrets

Ok, I give; I hate these things, but found everyone else's so interesting...plus all my different groups of friends are doing it and who am I to not jump off the cliff with them???

1. I recently smuggled alcohol into a dry village hidden in off-brand quaker oatmeal (for any law enforcement, that was a joke).

2. I am sickly addicted to politics

3. I disassociate from life if left to my own for too long, but I kind of enjoy it, its like taking a trip to someone else's life.

4. I am, above all, a pompous ass, and use to purposefully talk "academically" around people I didn't like to make them feel inferior.

5. I was homeschooled for 8 years, went to public school for one year, private school for 1 1/2 years, then spent my last 1 1/2 years at a publich school.

6. I secretly find all people, especially myself, ridiculous, which is why I generally enjoy the company of others, although sometimes its from the standpoint of an alien spying and taking notes on the human race.

7. I sporadically write poetry. I sporadically start writing novels that I never finish.

8. I purposefully got a "B" in my last semester of school just so I wouldn't graduate with a 4.0 (although colleges never look at the last semester)

9. I like being a teacher, but I love being a student. I wish I could get paid (a lot) to go to school and learn.

10. I once let my 15 year old friend drive my Honda Accord around while my other friend (STOOKS!) was body surfing on the top and I hung out the window trying to pry his fingers off the edge of the car while he slapped me in the face.

11. I live above the Arctic Circle. Its cold. I also used to misspell "arctic" as "artic" until I came here to live

12. I enjoy messing with my kids. I set Macy down on the ground when she was asleep and watched her wobble back and forth. I'm probably the best dad ever.

13. I wish people would discuss politics, religion and their deepest secrets with everyone they meet. I think it would make for a better world. I've been told I should go to Europe to attain this situation.

14. I let the NFL determine my mood.

15. I clean when I'm bored.

16. I'm addicted to coffee. I used to drink close to 10 shots of espresso a day and sleep for 4 hours.

17. I once hit my brother in the head with a flashlight while playing German Spotlight Tag and pretending I was a Gestapo, then 20 minutes later I passed out from the sight of the blood on his head. I was 17 and he was 21.

18. I'm glad to have lived in Alaska, but I deeply miss my family, friends, and hot, hot Tennessee summers.

19. I now claim the South as my home for the first time in my life.

20. Republicans are too liberal for me. I want to join the Constitutionalist party.

21. I will not rest until I have a Ph. D.

22. I officially dated one girl only in my life, and I never went through a break-up, of which I am glad. I think this upholds to the Proverb of "Young man, guard your heart."

23. I like to get drunk and am often much too crass for a young Christian man, but my best friends bring out the worst in me, just like my enemies bring out the best (but that's just showmanship). I should never, ever, ever be allowed to drink 151 again...

24. In Mrs. Brown's English Class, Senior year, during "My Fair Lady," Joseph Haynes threw a paper wad at Grant Wailey, missed, and hit me. I threw it back, missed, and almost hit Ms. Brown. I then sat there and let Grant Wailey take the blame for it. Grant even told the truth that I threw it, and Ms. Brown told him that was ridiculous to even suggest. The thing I'm most sorry for was my horrible aim...I was secretly laughing in my head.

25. I'm addicted to science fiction/fantasy novels/movies, and wish I was an elf.
