So, here is the first. Not sure if anyone will find this at all interesting, but I'm still going to do it. So here we go: 1. List 20 random facts about yourself.

1. I usually tell people I bike to get in shape and save on gas, and I guess in part that is true, but really it is because I feel some moral obligation to the environment not to drive a car. (I realize, also that this does nothing to help the environment, hence me saying "moral obligation" and not something like... "doing my part"). :)

2. I hate that I have curly hair and try to hide it as much as possible.

3. I'm majoring in Biotechnology.

4. I wish I could major in English or Philosophy.

5. I am a skeptic when it comes to a lot of stuff, (and I think this bugs my wife), but unless there is a lot of scientific proof I generally don't believe stuff whole heartily. 

6. I think science is one of the greatest things and one of the most important aspects of our lives. I am a big advocator of science (just ask the people I work with at Gandolfo's). 

7. The only thing I feel is a bit more important is my own religious views.

8. I think religion itself isn't the key to a persons salvation, but the way in which they think and live and love. However, at the same time, we need religion to give specific guidance and for ordinances. 

9. I often ramble when talking about science or religion.

10. I've lost over 30 lbs. since last August.

11. I really want to tech at an academic level, and that is why I'm taking biotech.  Better avenue into teaching.

12. I half to always sleep on my right side, because if I sleep on my back, stomach or left side I snore. (It's weird).

13. Sometimes I wish I was a vegetarian, but then I remember how much I love seafood.

14. I've written three books, (sci-fi), and only 1 person has read all three. (They are obviously not published . . . well, professionally published).

15. I have two diseases and at one point had three: Ulcerative Colitis, Pyoderma Gangrenosum, and Pulminary Eosinophilia. 

16. I once punched a kid at church (he was my age, so kid might not be the best title), because he was picking on my brother.

17. I really like art, drawing, painting, and I think I'm actually really good, but I don't have the patients to ever really do it.

18. I have found, working in some version of IT, (web hosting) that this automatically means I can fix computers... I can't fix computers. 

19. I voted for Bush in 2004 and regret it. I voted against Prop 8 in 2004 and am still proud of myself for sticking up for gay rights.

20. I failed Microbiology last semester by 1% and still think my teacher was one of the best I've ever had. (The failing was stupid, I understand the subject extremely well, and really enjoyed it). 

This was hard, and I kinda feel like they are lame, but whatever... I tried.
