    1. I have a super warped view of myself. When I was 17, I weighed 145-150 at 5'3", with a ton of muscle mass so I looked much smaller. I thought I was morbidly obese at that weight. It's something I struggle with daily but I'm making progress.

    2. It's almost impossible for me to trust people.

    3. I enjoy listening to people tell stories about their past. Whether the story is good or bad, interesting or not, it gives me a window to see into how the person views themselves, and what they've taken from the situation.

    4. I feel like I belong to a very rare breed of people who are such night owls that we prefer working the graveyard shift. I recently transitioned back to first shift after four months on nights and I'm hating the new schedule.

    5. I was raised Christian, but have completely turned my back on organized religion. I still think there's some kind of design at work, but I don't think it's a man in the sky.

    1. Although I've visited most U.S. states I have never set foot in California
    2. I think 90% (maybe more) of home décor is extremely tacky.
    3. Summer is my favorite season even when temps are in the 90s-100s (F)
    4. I don't like candles.
    5. My local shopping mall and library are 2 of my favorite places, but mainly due to nostalgia (have been going to both for 30+ years)

    Dave was in a local band during high school, and the drummer for that bad was giving me drum lessons. Since I had a pick-up truck, I used to carry their equipment around to their shows and help them setup. My claim to fame! :laugh:

    My wife is like this. "The A to Z Encyclopedia of Serial Killers" is like her bible and she watches all those FBI & true crime types of shows. Needless to say, I sleep with one eye open. :laugh:

    1.) I'm horribly afraid of dragonflies. I had one leg eggs in a cut on my arm when I was 3 and didn't know until it had healed over and they hatched.

    2.) I speak conversational french and no spanish even though i'm 1/2 mexican.

    3.) I'm almost legally blind in 1 eye and the second isn't far behind.

    4.) I hate avocado, fish, and nuts. Don't like the taste or texture of avocado or fish, and nuts make me crazy thirsty.

    5.) I use to be a professional ballerina.
