The nothingness that is me

I was seeing that everyone else had lists so I decided to start one, but I don't know how long it will be. I am going to try to add to it when I can.

1. I obviously follow the crowd often. (hence a list like others I have seen)

35. When I'm bored I sometimes do searches for old friends names on the net. I have found things from poems posted when they were 12 to crimes committed.

67. I am a radiation health tech for the navy and a health physisist at my second job and forget most of my 10 weeks of training.

81. Most of my friends are older than me and range from 27-35. Canowine is the oldman.
82. I feel really vulnerable putting this stuff about me on the net and don't really know why I am doing it.
83. People who don't "know me" now know more about me than probably anyone who has met me.

86. My face turns red and I sweat when I am nervous.
87. Above happens almost everytime I talk to a cute girl.(I know I am pathetic)

92. I hate the village people for having a guy dressed like a sailor in the group.
93. I like to dance at clubs, but don't think I'm good at it. Clubs should play songs you can slow dance to.
94. My freshman year of High school I went the entire year without wearing my glasses, my eyes are really bad. I had the really cheap plastic glasses until I saved enough money to get contacts.
95. When I was younger I had a pineapple haircut. You know where everything is shaved down except bangs, yeah it was bad.
96. I noticed almost all the t-shirts I have are from high school, the only new ones are from concerts.
97. I eat Ramen noodle packs pretty much on a daily basis, usually for lunch.
98. I was once within arms reach of president Bush with a loaded 9mm on my waist, doing security.
99. I did security for a Disturbed/Chevelle/Taproot concert hoping to meet the bands. Closest I got was a pat on the back from the lead singer of Taproot(they had that song called Poem) while holding back 50 15 year olds.
100! I love meeting new people, the Navy is awesome for that. I have met a ton of cool ass people from all over the world. It just sucks when you become really good friends with them and then you or them get PCS(move). It is hard to stay in touch.


I finally reached 100!!!!!!!!!! It only took me like 2 weeks, God I am boring.
