25

From Facebook:

1. I hope that the people I tag in this note realize how much they really do mean to me. Sometimes I develop a dynamic with people that masks how important they really are to me. I am at least a bit embarrassed in saying that. There are plenty of people I didn't tag, for various reasons, that mean a lot to me as well.

2. I went to a different middle school than all my elementary school friends, and I felt like almost all of them abandoned me during that time, to the point that I wanted (and tried) to open-enroll at a different High School. Dombrock didn’t, and he remains one of my best friends.

3. College is really easy for me. I feel like if I really applied myself, I could get straight A’s. I just can’t get myself to do the work.

4. I used to compulsively lie a lot, and still do to some extent.

5. I have often wished I was born a year earlier than I was.

6. I feel like I have a much better relationship with my parents and extended family than most people. 

7. I usually feel very uncomfortable in nursing homes.

8. I hate funerals. I do not ever want to go to another funeral in my life, but I know I will.

9. I feel completely confident in my belief that there is no God, no afterlife, and no existential human soul. That being said, I have never held someone else’s beliefs against them.

10. I like dressing well, even if I don’t usually know how to do it.

11. Clay is probably the best match for my sense of humor, and can make me laugh better than anyone else.

12. I have always looked up to my cousin, no matter what he does.

13. I have always felt like somewhat of an outsider in the groups I belong to.

14. I am uncomfortable being around people who are making fun of others, and will often step in to stop it.

15. I can’t stay angry at people. I have never been able to. It’s hard enough for me to get angry at them in the first place.

16. I rarely cry. I have never been able to summon the emotion to do it, even in situations where it would be expected.

17. I think it is better to live humbly for a cause than die nobly for one (that’s one of my favorite quotes).

18. The MadHatters might be the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

19. There are a handful of moments in my life that I wish I could relive and change. These are moments in which I strongly believe I made a bad decision that cost me something great.

20. There are very few things I enjoy doing more than laying on a couch in front of a fire with a couple of friends talking about books, philosophy, movies, science (yes, science), and other stuff.

21. I don’t enjoy hearing about other peoples’ sexual conquests. Maybe it’s because I don’t have any such stories of my own. I feel (worry?) I won’t have such a story for some time, and it kind of disappoints me that I will likely be chastised for it.

22. I feel like I am more sensitive to being yelled at than most people. Guilt seems to hit me harder than most.

23. I legitimately enjoy writing in my blog, and wish more people would read it and write their own.

24. I am worried that I have made these points more personal than this thing is supposed to be. As such, I have revised a couple of them before publishing it.

25. I am a cat person.

who doesn't like to talk about science?
