Five little bits of random...

I am very tired, but I wanted to take a few minutes (from working, YAY!) and write something.

I’d love to write something substantial, inspiring, and funny…but yeah, I don’t see that happening today.

So you get 5 random facts about me.  Since I will be your host for the duration of this journey, I thought it might be nice if you got to know a bit more, plus it makes for nice blog filler (kidding…kinda)

Enjoy.

1)  I come from a HUGE family.  I am the oldest of nine children.  There are seven boys, and two girls.  Technically speaking my youngest brother and my two sisters are half siblings (my moms kids), but I don’t differentiate, and I don’t love them any less.

I’m the one with the shell necklace on.  I believe this was 2007, it wasn’t one of my thinnest periods, but thinner than I am now.  As you can see, alot of my siblings are overweight, so its not just me.  Over the past couple years my father has lost about 100 pounds, and a couple of my brothers have lost some weight as well.  There is alot of work to be done all around though, and in many ways I hope my weight loss struggle can help inspire some of them.

2.  I have my Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelors Degree in Business Management.  What do I plan to do with that?  I have no idea.  I currently work for a health insurance company, and its a good job with a good company, but I really want something more out of life.  I have been contemplating law school down the line, and maybe getting my Masters of Public Administration.  I would love to work with government, but I’m not sure that I am “politically minded” enough for it.  Basically, I am clueless…hehehehehe.

3.  I like to build things, but going back to number two, I don’t see that as a career goal.  When I was a kid I loved Legos, and sometimes even built buildings out of VHS tapes.  I love SimCity for this reason, and sometimes, when I’m bored at work, I will take to construction as well.

That little fella’ right there was constructed one night at work (old job).  It was the overnight shift, there was nothing to do, I was a bit loopy from being exhausted, so I took all of the printer paper and label boxes and made that.  It was supposed to be a building, but everyone said it looked like a robot, so whatever.

4.  I have alot of wierd quirks…and by alot…I mean ALOT.  I think one of the wierdest ones though is that I chew plastic.  Straws, soda bottle caps, plastic coffee stirrers, I chew them all, pretty much until they start to shred apart, then I get a new thing to chew on.  It could be worse I guess, I could be into chewing tabacco (which I believe is disgusting, btw).  I don’t like chewing gum, either.

5.  I am obsessed with Natalie Portman.  She is perfection personified.

I love you.  Call me.

Yeah, I’m pretty lame.  I’ll own that   But now you know a little more, and knowing is half the battle.

Weekend is going to be pretty bland, I’m afraid.  Was supposed to take a bus trip to NYC but my friends backpain has put a damper on that.  So I’ll be working some overtime, studying, and working out (WooT!).  I may try another outside running excursion too.  We’ll see how that goes.

It’s Friday, ya’ll!  Enjoy yourselves, and have an awesome weekend.
