I have trouble setting priorities,
Not least of which are the items in this list.
So this is in no particular order.
2
Having a February 29th birthday
Makes me kinda insensitive
About everyone else's birthday.
If I miss it by a day or two,
I don't really see the big deal.
Unless I'm married to you.
3
I am trainable. But I wouldn't try it.
Unless you're married to me.
In which case, lighten up a little.
4
I snore.
5
Grey's Anatomy seasons 1 and 2
Were guilty pleasures to me.
Now I just watch to mock it.
Prom?
[2011 edit: still ridiculous, it now has me again.]
6
I lived on a LOST-TV message board for 2 years.
7
Having read that, it shouldn't shock you to know
That I played Dungeons and Dragons
Religiously in high school.
I had a mage named Raistlin
And a warrior named Daryl.
8
I have an annoying compulsion
To try to sound clever.
9
I used to try to write text adventure games
On my Apple IIe.
Nothing ever really beat "Pirate Adventure."
10
With my guitar on hand,
I do a serviceable "Let's Get it On."
11
I've been to or through
All the US states (and the District) except:
Arkansas, Alabama, Rhode Island, Maine, and Alaska,
But outside our borders
I've only been to
Canada, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Israel.
It's a little embarrassing.
12
I'm not a hoarder per se,
But I keep random small collections of things
On the gut feeling that
I might use them interestingly someday.
13
Some call it non-linear thinking,
But having ADD
Diagnosed earlier than age 31
Might have made some
Things easier along the way.
13
I'd like to shave my head
And grow a really long beard.
Not necessarily at the same time.
14
I've recently taken to wearing two pairs
Of heavy wool socks around the house.
Necessarily at the same time.
15
About fifteen years ago,
This girl's dad told me this joke
About a guy taking a truckload of penguins
To the zoo, and now it's pretty much the only joke
I ever remember. Ever.
That, and the "why was 6 afraid of 7?" joke.
16
I really, REALLY don't like watching me
On video.
17
I still treasure my autographed cast photo
Of the "Diff'rent Strokes" gang.
Dana Plato (RIP) signed it,
"Dear Adam, Love Always, Dana Plato."
Short, but very, very sweet.
18
cf. #17 above,
I just lost the last 15 minutes
To the Wikipedia entry on Dana Plato.
I love the Wikipedia.
More than Dana.
19
I love, love when my kids
Wake me up in the morning.
If it has to be anything,
It might as well be them.
20
It's been almost/at least four years
Since I joined Facebook,
And I just lost another fifteen minutes
Trying to find the exact day.
21
I sense I'm leaving out significant details here.
That is, however,
A significant character trait.
22
I desperately want to convince my wife
That going skydiving
Again
Before I die is probably a good idea.
(I mean, not RIGHT before I die.)
23
Kingsbury,
Bay Point, Cherrywood, Willow, Pelham,
Sherman, Lincoln,
Prospect, Lydell,
Foster, Agatite,
Talbert,
Marine, Seminary, Orchard, Lister, School,
Greenwood,
Stratford,
Castlewood.
All the streets I've lived on,
Geographically separated,
In chronological order.
Oh, and let's never forget
Old Highway 70.
24
My brother and I share an affinity
For singing TV sports show theme music.
25*
My wife deserves many medals
At least a dozen dozen roses,
A Sweet Mandy B's cupcake, and
A serious vacation for living with me.
Epilogue
Because 7 8 9.
*Yep, It's actually 26. I used
#13 twice. Did I mention
! have ADD?
