Seven random things about moi
That friendly fella Josh, from System13.org has invited me to share seven random things about myself. I guess in the internet world they’re called "memes." I prefer to call them… surveys. Though since they’re random things I guess no one is really asking them and therefore it’s not really a survey, however, I maintain it’s a survey.
-
1. I’m obsessively organized. I’m not sure where this comes from or even why I like it so much. When things are organized they’re quickly accessed and used, when that happens tasks become EASY!!!
2. I LOVE maps, the older the better. I could spend hours staring at them (as I could at paintings). I just get lost in them.
3. I want to become a history professor.
4. I love science, specifically physics and astronomy. When I was younger I wanted to become a theoretical astrophysicist. Neutron stars and naked singularities are just cool. I also love science fiction but that’s another matter.
5. My favourite TV show growing up was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; I hated Michelangelo and disliked Raphael. Donatello and Leonardo were my faves.
6. Subtle humour, understatement, and wit are the forms of comedy that tickle me most. I’m usually the only one in the room who bursts out laughing at a subtle joke. I don’t know why but I just love that kind of humour.
7. I honestly believe that reading is the best hobby a person can have. Anyone who reads is automatically (and probably mistakenly) raised a few rungs in my estimation.
Well, that’s seven. These things kind of make one kind of take a look in a mirror don’t they?

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show was one of my faves as well. Raphael was my favorite; Leonardo got on my nerves, and Donatello was just “meh.”
And, of course, we’re agreed on #3.

Holy crap. I see why you and I are friends now. You and I share 1, 3, and 4 exactly, and 6 and 7 almost nearly. I used to watch TMNT every day, and used to draw them, and I had their action figures and the automatic pizza thrower too! I liked Leonardo because katanas are great, and Donatello because he was so smart. I disliked raphael because a sai was not my favourtie weapon, and hated Michelangelo because he was stupid. Ah, nostalgia.
