25 Random Things About Me

1.  I absolutely LOVE Coke (Coca-Cola not cocaine).  I drink a lot of soda, usually Coke, per day.  Last year my mom decided to stop buying me Coke and me being cheap I didn’t buy it for myself.  Within a couple days I started getting head aches and I started joking I was addicted to Coke and was having withdrawals.  Well I was.  I was at the doctor not long after and she said I probably was addicted to Coke, but she said I was addicted to the caffeine in the Coke.

2.  A lot of people call me cheap.  But I’m not cheap I’m thrifty, there’s a difference.

3.  I’m quite the geek, but I fully embrace it.  Isn’t it cool to be a geek now?

4.  I love the band Piebald.  I went to their last two shows ever, I was in their last music video, I own 4 or 5 Piebald T-shirts, 3 Piebald Posters, I have 3 signed Piebald objects, and I have almost all their splits (which are all really hard to find), I’ve met the band three times, and more….

5.  I collect Mad Magazine memorabilia.  I really collect it.  With the exception of like 4 issues I have every Mad Magazine since 1997, including the Super Specials.  I have over 60 Mad books, an Alfred E. Neuman (he is the Mad mascot) bobble head,  an Alfred Statue, 2 Mad T-shirts, about 35 issues from between 1957 and 1990, and a lot more….

6.  I watch WAY to much TV.  I literally watch between 5 and 14 hours of TV a day

7.  I’m really good a t trivia.  I know so much useless information

8.  I have been going to Warped Tour every year since 2004, this year will be my 6th year

9.  I’m online for between 4 and 13 hours a day

10.  I saw the Grateful Dead live when I was seven years old.  And it was a year before Jerry Garcia died so I got to see him live.  If you know who Jerry Garcia is you know amazing awesomely cool that is

11.  I recently got into the music of Bob Dylan, I’ve always respected him but was much a fan of his music.  Now I like it

12.  I’m not much of a reader.  It took me about 8 months to read “I am America (and co can you)” by Stephen Colbert, which is about 270 pages

13.  I enjoy learning about the counterculture revolution of the 1960s


14. In school I am constantly saying “I need a nap”

15.  I have never done karaoke, anybody who really knows me thinks that’s weird because I sing a lot

16.  I still don’t know what I want to do for work.  I’m majoring in Computer Science but I don’t know what kind of computer science job I want. 

17.  I love music.  When I was little my dad would play a lot of Grateful Dead and Clapton and other classics and as I got older I just started to really love music

18. I am a junior, my dad has the same name as me

22.  I had more than 80 t-shirts until I went through them a couple weeks a go and got rid of about 20 of them

23.  I find it really interesting that like 3 people tagged me for this.  I was really surprised.  But I bet they just needed 25 people and don’t actually want to lean about me. 

24.  I don’t have many friends

25.  I don’t get out much, if I’m not at school I’m probably in my room
