For my brother...so he won't bitch at me

So, I moved from the liberal capital of Texas (Austin) to the Coastal area — not quite "on" Galveston island, but spitting distance, if you'll pardon that little country-ism. And since I don't live with my big brother anymore for him to hassle me daily about blogging...I haven't! So to avoid an uncomfortable silence next time he gets me on the phone and asks "have you been writing?" I decided to add this random blog of a few fun facts about me. Enjoy! (All are 100% true).

1) When I worked in Marble Falls, some days instead of eating on my lunch break, I'd go down to Johnson Park, sit by the river and make fun of the ducks. Out loud.

2) At least once a month, I wake up jumping out of my bed because I think there's a spider on or near me.

3) I saw Elvis pumping gas at a truck stop about 20 miles south of Waco, Texas.

4) I would have stayed in the Matrix. Fuck the real world. Who needs the hassle?

5) I tell my dog everything. She's a good listener and usually very nonjudgmental.

6) I will occasionally become completely convinced that none of this is actually happening. No drugs are involved.

7) If vampires are real, I'd like to meet a really old one and ask him about stuff that happened hundreds of years ago.  Cause history books are just a bunch of dirty lies, I bet.

8) I'd like to move to a deserted island and be entirely self-sufficient for a while. It'd probably be like if Gilligan hadn't had the professor, but I think I could do it.

9) I think snakes are really cool and would like to have one as a pet.

10) One day, I will own a motorcycle.

11) I usually carry at least three knives with me at all times. You can't be too careful, right?

12) I dislike having to wear shoes and wouldn't if it weren't for the fact that I might step on something unpleasant, like a spider. Purses, however, are a necessity in life.

13) My big brother is my hero. He should probably be yours, too. Just sayin'.

14) If there was a contest for most animated person in the history of the universe, I believe a New Yorker named Ben Furr would win. You probably don't know him, but trust me on this. 

15) If I start a sentence with, "So this one time, I was drunk..." the name Chance Atchley is going to come up VERY soon.

16) Despite the fact that it's 2008, I still think "your mom!" is a good comeback.

17) In 25 years on this earth, I've only beaten my dad at Scrabble once.

18) My mom's fried chicken is so good, it actually melted someone's face off once. Ok, that one wasn't really true, but it COULD be. Time will tell.

19) Techno music makes me want to beat someone unconscious with their own leg. I don't know if I could pull this off, but it certainly gives me the urge.

20) I can't think of another fact, but leaving the list at No. 19 would have REALLY bothered me.

I thought you would want me with you on the island??? What, my peanut butter and honey sandwiches with milk aren't good enough for you anymore???

Well, that's if I accidentally landed on a deserted island and could only take one thing with me! I'm referring more to an attempt at survivalism. And yes, I just made up that word.

I laughed out loud at least five times. Positively giggled maniacally. Rousing good blog entry. And about the hero thing: that's very sweet, but you should probably set your bar just little bit higher!

I think you could write a whole book like this. Just relating your experiences and thoughts.

Love you.

You mother's chicken was muy delicioso, but what I remember was those OMG French bread pizzas.

A great list.

Cheers!
