25 Random Things

Alicia tagged me. And others have on facebook.

Rules: 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 publish.)

1. I really enjoy splatstick gore comedy horror movies. Like Evil Dead 2 and Peter Jackson's Dead Alive.
2. I didn't start eating salad until about a year ago.
3. I'm a big Pixar fan and watch all their documentaries and director commentaries. The Incredibles is probably my favorite Pixar film thus far.
4. I have horrible thoughts. I'm thankful for the Church's teaching on sin and consent of the will.
5. I like my fruit very tarty and chilled.
6. When I sneeze, I often hold my nose with my hand and just sneeze out of my mouth. My wife thinks this is horribly disgusting.
7. My hands are very dry and cracked right now.
8. But I hate lotion.
9. My ideal vacation is either sitting around reading or downhill skiing.
10. I'm a big fan of both Michael Card and Nine Inch Nails.
11. I think I enjoy reading about classics more than reading the classics themselves.
12. I picked up The Davinci Code book-on-CD at the library the other day. I got about halfway through and don't see myself finishing it. The writing is just terrible.
13. I probably enjoy too much not being bothered by some things that really bother others.
14. I haven't worn my wedding ring in 8 months.
15. Leave-in conditioner is my secret formula.
16. I have fingernail clippers everywhere. Helps me not bite them.
17. I recently lost about 45 lbs.
18. I still have slight moobs, love handles, and a flabby gut. This is extremely depressing.
19. Doing HVAC work in an old house's crawl space is a true nightmare (which includes small animal skeletons).
    
20. I recently read two short books in preparation for their upcoming movie versions: the graphic novel Watchmen and Neil Gaiman's Coraline. I enjoyed both!
21. I love being a dad. I also miss hanging out with my best friends nearly every night.
22. I really like it when Brendan (3) gets up in the morning and eats breakfast with me before I leave. He says really cute things like "have a good day at wuk!" and tells me he loves me. Ditto, buddy. Ditto.
23. I say "niiiice" way too much. Both in sarcasm and not.
24. I've been serving (as a clerk/subdeacon or acolyte) for the Anglican Use of the Roman Rite for the past several months. I'm starting to get the hang of it, I hope. Maintaining that posture (hands together in front) really hurts my upper back by the end though.
25. I saved Latin. What did you ever do?
