Where the Heck is Christopher?

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click post.)

1. My brothers are nuts (and awesome, but nuts)
2. My parents are awesome
3. I was homeschooled.
4. I got my first salaried job before I finished high school.
5. I bought my first car with a loan from my boss.  My monthly payment was more than most people’s mortgages at that time.
6. Orson Scott Card is simply fantastic.
7. I have no nephews or nieces, but many cousins.
8. My family turned the TV on to view broadcast programming a total of 3 times when I was growing up; the ‘89 California earthquake, to see some some friends on the Dr. Phil show, and 9/11.
9. I’m a Pisces.  Strongly.
10. My job was and is my dream job.  I wanted to play with computers since I was about 5.
11. I think tattoos are the most conservative form of art and expression imaginable.
12. Money is entertaining, even when I lose it.
13. Social networking makes me feel old.
14. I can sleep anywhere, any time, if I’m tired.
15. I can eat almost anything (no allergies or taste/texture avoidances), but…
16. I was a vegan for about 14 years, and still keep some of the restrictions.
17. My first paid job was a database conversion for a doctor’s office when I was 13.  I enjoyed pointing out to the sales and technical people how much their product sucked.
18. I think most Christianity is really stupid.
19. Prayer works, if you ask the right question.  God has a significant sense of humor about these things.
20. I used to work as a ballroom dance instructor.
21. I started playing music simply to prove that I could start something and stick with it.
22. Beethoven’s Fifth makes me cry.  And my skin tingle.  A lot.
23. REM sleep is very noisy.
24. My grandmother drove me to my first three contra dances. (and then I got my driver’s license)
25. I’ve never done a list like this before, and I think it’s interesting but also takes too much time.
