My attic needs cleaning.  Since I am shameless, I will de-junk here, using one of those lame ’25 Things About Me’ surveys for all to see. These thoughts aren’t under priced, even though they’re free. I promise.

1. I’m allergic to everything. Pollens, dusts, molds, pet dander… you name it.
2. Ever since I can remember, I have had a hypersensitive conscience.  I really beat myself up for the stupid crap I do.  It often makes me apologize to others, even when I’m not in the wrong.
3. I didn’t kiss a girl until I had graduated from high school.
4. I’m almost always known as the ‘funny guy’… and sometimes I hate it.
5. I probably spend an average of 8-10 hours online every day. It’s my job. And I love it.
6. I hate it when people assume that since I know internet marketing I can fix their computers or websites. I’m not a tech support forum. I am not a designer or a programmer.  I’m a marketer. I market. The end.
7. To make up for my many insecurities, I blatantly make fun of them. It seems like self-destructive behavior, but really I’m just trying to live with the parts of me that I really dislike. (If you can’t laugh at it, you can’t live with it.)
8. I change something about my appearance every day, making it impossible to label my style.
9. My worst fear is falling in love and finding out that I love her far more than she loves me.  It’s happened before, and it’s likely to happen again.
10. I’m a clown in public settings.  If you really want to know who I am, get me alone.
11. I love shoes.
12. I’ve never broken a bone or had surgery… except for my wisdom teeth.
13. I hate the feeling of being scared. Therefore I have never seen a scary movie, and I have only been to one haunted house… and I screamed louder (and probably higher) than the girl that convinced me to go.
14. I love to dance. Very few things make me happier than a good dance.
15. As a general rule, I tend to ask out girls I’m comfortable with more often than the ones I’m really attracted to. I fall in love with the girls that fit into both categories.
16. I’m pretty open and honest with my feelings, and I’m genuinely interested in yours. When I ask, “How are you?”  I really want to know.
17. I’m a great writer, but a crappy communicator.
18. I talk to my mom almost every day… because I love her.
19. I have lots of friends, but very few ‘best’ friends.  The friends in the ‘best’ category are normally the ones who take the time to get to know who I really am, can take a joke, and who don’t take life too seriously.
20. I tend to assume the people are not as smart as I am… especially when they don’t speak or write correctly.
21. I’ve never interviewed for a job I didn’t get.
22. I’m not a fan of Christmas. Don’t hate.
23. I will not ever own a gun unless I absolutely have to. I hate guns.
24. I want to write a book one day.  A book that makes people laugh and cry (only not at the same parts, and not because it’s so terrible that that is their only logical reaction).
25. I hate being vulnerable. I’m not a risk taker.  So if I take a risk on you, you should be flattered… because I think you’re worth it.

Welp, there we have it.  This will definitely mean different things to the different people who read it. Take it for what it’s worth. It feels good to get some of that out… you are a good therapist, internet.
