About Me

This page is all about me, yep, it's my self-centered page! I figure it's better to make a page about myself rather than fill out every e-mail survey that comes along. This is just more efficient.

Random Stuff
My favorites of the usual e - mail survey questions.
Vanilla or Chocolate? Vanilla! But chocolate is still worth its weight in gold.
Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? --Is there any other way?
Who do you like to spend time with? I wish there was a girl's name to put here and leave it specific (keep waiting, Kevin). I can't kick a shout out to everybody on campus, but you all know who you are, I eat lunch with you, I take you out toTaco Bell when you lose your meal card, I get up and meet with you at 6:30 every Monday morning for Timeout, I room with you and I chill in your dorm's lobby.
If you could meet one person, dead or alive, who would it be? This one's too easy: Jesus. But since I know already that I will meet him, my answer to this question is "The girl I'm going to marry."
Have you ever been in love? Never when its been very convenient.
What do you think of oija boards? Just a little too satanic for my tastes.
What is the first thing you think of when you wake up in the morning? I don't usually think in the mornings, do you?
Storms: Cool or scary? Considering I've been struck by lightning, I should probably fear them more... but I was okay, so they're cool again... Either way I can still relax by a window and read a good book.
Is the glass half empty or half full? Half full.
What is the worst feeling in the world? To be alone.
What is the best feeling in the world? To know God will never stop loving me.
If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? There's nothing like missions. I can't wait to take my first malaria pill or to get to eat some bugs!
What would be worse, throwing up on your date or your date throwing up on you? Throwing up on my date, but I've done worse (supposing those instances were called dates).
What's the scariest thing about the way you drive? I drive a sporty sub-compact fast-back coupe with a high-reving 2.4 liter I4, 140 horses turning the rear-wheels in a hearty, abusable multi-link independent rear suspension, a 5 speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and no cup-holders. How do you think I'm going do drive? Boy-howdy, I make the most of bucket seats!

This is the view you're most likely to see of my car  :p

What is your idea of the perfect date? Well, her name is...
No, really... Okay, this would be easier to answer if I knew who was with me. Anything perfectly innocent-- almost too innocent to call it a date, is just fine... I've never really swallowed the world's way of doing it. Frosties are cool, maybe a concert, or watching a movie on a TV and VCR outside on a blanket under the stars. Whatever, but there has to be time to talk and time to do something random, even if we do nothing at all. Can you say ice cream?
How many doors are in your house? 14
Name one person, who may not know it, that has blessed your life. Allan Thompson; He's always been there for me to talk to, even if I didn't imidiately want to talk. Somehow he steps across the lines of his job and into your life, teaches you the things you need to know before you realize you need to know them, and doesn't come across as a parent.
