July 30 101 Useless Bits of Information
-
I'm an Aquarius. My birthday is in January. Buy me something nice.
-
My full name is Louis, But I usually go by Lou or Louie. Either way, I've always hated my name.
-
I'm almost certain my parents were high when they named me.
-
I've always thought of moving somewhere just to start life under a different name. Any suggestions?
-
I was born and raised in Southern California.
-
I've lived a very sheltered life.
-
Although I grew up ten minutes away from the beach, I didn't actually get to swim in the ocean until I was about thirteen. I don't know why that is.
-
I've only traveled outside of the country once.
-
My dad was a democrat and my mom is a republican, so I wasn't influenced much one way or the other.
-
My political views are pretty middle-of-the-road. It depends on the issue.
-
I make a point never to talk about politics or religion--it will almost always end in a fight or arguement.
-
I am the youngest of four kids.
-
I grew up with three older sisters who made my life a living hell.
-
Two of my sisters dated a couple of A-holes while I was a kid. They made life hell too.
-
From kindergarten through ninth grade I was sent to Catholic school against my will.
-
Needless to say, I'm still recovering from my childhood.
-
My fondest memories from childhood are not of the friends I made but of my dog and the toys I played with.
-
I'm not in contact with anyone I went to school with.
-
One of my guidelines to life: If it happened in the eighties, I don't want to know about it.
-
I tend to be a bit of a loner.
-
There are times when I feel very socially awkward.
-
People have always thought of my as a bit weird.
-
This used to bother me, but I've grown accustomed to it.
-
I don't eat lettuce. Never have. Don't even ask.
-
I never drink beer. It looks and smells too much like urine.
-
I go straight for the hard stuff.
-
(Here's the one that freaks people out) I don't drink coffee. The menu at Starbucks might as well be written in Chinese...I can't make sense of any of it.
-
There was a time in my life when all I ate was cold cereal.
-
I didn't go to my high school prom.
-
I don't know how to dance but I think I would be willing to learn.
-
I've always found it hard to make friends.
-
When I do make friends, their usually female.
-
I think this has to do with growing up in a house full of women.
-
In high school I played the drums. I still have my set but I don't play much anymore.
-
I think it affected my hearing.
-
I've been getting migraine headaches since I was a teenager.
-
I don't get them as much as I used to, maybe three times a year, but when I get them they knock me out for about a week.
-
My migraines are usually triggered by certain foods or by bright light.
-
This is for the people who don't know what a migraine is like: You know when you get a brain freeze? You're eating ice cream or something cold and for a few seconds you get that intense pain somewhere behind your eyes and you go out of your head waiting for the pain to subside? Well imagine that pain lasting for 48 hours. Only it's worse than that.
-
Growing up, I had always been interested in film and wanted to go to film school.
-
After taking a film class and meeting people in the industry, I realized I wasn't the Hollywood type. (Meaning I had morals and a soul)
-
I started concentrating on my writing instead.
-
When I was nineteen, my father was diagnosed with cancer.
-
Because my dad got sick, I wasn't able to go to the college of my choice.
-
The college I went to was a joke...As an English major, it was a complete waste of time.
-
My awful college experience made me lose interest in writing.
-
In some ways, I feel like I don't have a college education.
-
I sometimes think of going back to school, someplace where I would actually learn something, but I've never pursued it.
-
I met my wife in college, which is the only good thing that happened there.
-
I almost dropped out of college, but my wife (then girlfriend) talked me out of it.
-
My dad died when I was 21.
-
Although I was never close to my father, his death affected me in ways I never would have imagined.
-
I graduated from college just after my dad died.
-
Because of his death, and because of a disappointing college experience, I really didn't want to do much of anything after graduation.
-
I stopped writing entirely, and sort of unintentionally dropped out of society.
-
A few years passed and I started to feel a little better. But when I tried writing again I realized that I had completely forgotten how to write.
-
This bummed me out. I was in a state of Limbo, wracking my brain, trying to figure out what else to do with my life.
-
Although still stuck in Limbo career-wise, I got married when I was twenty-five.
-
I can honestly say that meeting and marrying my wife was the best thing that ever happened to me.
-
My wife's family is in New York, where she grew up, so every year we alternate our holiday destination. (Thanksgiving in NY, Christmas in LA, then the next year we reverse it.)
-
We currently live in my gradmother's old house, the house my mother grew up in.
-
We're beginning to outgrow it. We'd like to move but we don't know where.
-
We don't have any kids.
-
I have two nephews and five nieces, ranging in age from 3 to 20.
-
I'm completely exhausted after spending ten minutes with the little ones, so I can't imagine how tiring it must be to have kids of your own.
-
The men in my family don't seem to live too long. My father was 55 when he died and my uncle was in his fourties.
-
I've always been haunted by the thought that I'm going to get sick and die before my time.
-
When I do go, I have a fear that it will be long and painful.
-
I've been trying to be more healthy.
-
For the past three or four years I've had intense knee pain. I t keeps me awake at night.
-
I was told I have a pinched nerve in my back which is causing pain in my knees.
-
I went through physical therapy. It helped a little, but it didn't take the pain away.
-
I started running a year ago because it helps with the pain. I try to go at least two or three times a week. Nothing too intense, I usually run for about fourteen minutes (about a mile and a half).
-
I've been going to a chiropractor for adjustments to my back and legs, which has helped me immensely.
-
Because of the adjustments, I slept through the night for the first time in two years.
-
Every now and then when I'm alone in public I get panic attacks.
-
I don't know what causes this. I go through highs and lows in my mood, so I think that's part of it.
-
I get very depressed during the holidays, and I seem to dread them more and more each year.
-
A good friend of mine died recently, and although he was only in his early sixties, he had lived an incredible and full life. He had truly lived.
-
His death really opened my eyes. I've been sleepwalking for too long. Whether I die at 45 or 95, it's time I got off my ass and started experiencing things.
-
I have a lot of regrets in life and I don't want any more.
-
When an opportunity presents itself I will stop asking "why" and start asking "why not?"
-
I lost my place in things for a while, but I'd like to get out of Limbo-land and get to know the world around me.
-
In the coming year I hope to go skydiving in an attempt to get over my fear of heights.
-
This past January I started writing again.
-
I'm attempting to write a children's novel. Slowly...just a page a day, at the least.
-
By the end of the year I hope to have a 365 page first draft of a novel.
-
I'm writing just to get ideas on paper. I have come to accept the fact that what I write down might suck (and it usually does), but at least the ideas are flowing again and I can always change and fix it later.
-
Setting up this space is another attempt to try being creative again.
-
I was inspired to start my own space when I unintentionally stumbled on other people's spaces while surfing the net.
-
Hopefully this space will help me in a few ways. For instance:
-
I can meet new people. (I can count the number of friends I have on one hand and still be able to pick my ear.)
-
It can provide a creative writing outlet, something to warm me up before going into Microsoft Word.
-
It will help clear my head. Hopefully by writing it all down in a blog I can get rid of all the useless crap and weird ideas I have floating around in my head.
-
I'm very new to computers and blogging (after dropping out of society, technology sort of passed my by) so it's going to take some time to get used to this.
-
I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who has ideas on how to make my space more interesting.
-
All the people who have nothing but negative comments can find a nice warm place to go screw themselves.
-
If we all started our day by watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood every morning, I think we would all be a lot nicer to each other.
-
I'm beginning to realize that I'm running out of things to say about myself.
-
When I was in my early twenties, I once killed a homeless man on a dare.
-
When I run out of things to say, I have a tendency to make things up.
