Thirty Day Challenge: Day 1

As a fun and frivolous activity, I am going to do this "Thirty Day Challenge." Now all of you Peoples of the Internets can learn about the man behind the curtain. Or in this case, myself, the writer of this infrequently updated blog. Also, it will make this infrequently-updated-blog a somewhat-frequently-updated-blog. That, and create dialogue and whatnot. I will try and do each activity daily, but we'll see what happens.

The activities:
Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts
Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been closest with the longest
Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show
Day 04 - A picture of your night

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts




1) I've lived in Nebraska my entire life--but that will probably change later this year.
2) I did most of my traveling before the age of 12. My grandparents used to take our whole extended family on vacations to places around the States and Europe in the summer.
3) I've been playing the drums since I was 16.
4) When I was a kid, I wanted to be a singer and an actor when I grew up.
5) Now when people ask what I do, I'm unsure of what to say, because it feels like I do too many things to sum up into one category. Usually I just laugh and say, "starving artist."
6) I have a degree in studio art, and a minor in English. At first, I was an English major.
7) My mom and dad both also have degrees in art. My late maternal grandmother was also an artist.
8) I love fantasy and science fiction.
9) I've always been an animal person.
10) Part of me is still quite the kid at heart.
11) Another side of me is jaded and seethingly sarcastic.
12) I call myself a pessimistic optimist. I'm naturally optimistic, but have become pessimistic because my optimistic ideals rarely come true.
13) When I was 19 I stopped going to school full time to record an album and go on tour with a band. Since we were not very good, I didn't become a full time drummer, and ended up going back to school full time.
14) I love, love, love going on long adventures on my bicycle in warm weather.
15) I love the outdoors, stars, dreaming about outer space, and most anything whimsical in nature.
