I figured I would join in on this as well, since I've been looking for something to post in my Cblog for a while! Be warned though, I am a fairly boring person. It was really hard to come up with so many things about myself.
1. I was born with only one nostril. My right nostril was blocked with excess skin, and so I had to have a hole cut out right then and there to ensure that I could breathe. I still have a small visible bump of skin that was not cut away.
2. I have lived in over twenty different homes over the course of my life, and in five different states (North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Pennsylvania, Arizona) over the past five years. This way of life has primed me for travel, and I am looking forward to where I will go next. I really want to explore the rest of the west coast for the first time.
3. I know a lot of "famous" people. Randall Munroe (of XKCD fame) is one of my best friends. We met while he was still in college. I have visited his apartment and slept in his living room, which is a ball pit with a couch in the middle of it. We also play Mario Kart Wii together on a regular basis. And, of course, our very own Aaron Linde is my even bester friend! <3
4. I love to wear scarves, and do so on a regular basis. It has become sort of a problem since I moved to the desert, but scarves are my "signature", so I can't give them up.
5. There was actually a period of a few years where I actually lost interest in gaming. It started around my freshman year of high school. I had recently gotten a Playstation, but only spent about three months with it before deciding to sell the system and its games for money to put toward other things. I still do not know why exactly my interest in videogames ever dropped, as I cannot see myself without them now, but I can single out the selling of the Playstation as one of those dumb things that teenagers are prone to do.
6. I am a supertaster, which makes me an extremely picky eater.
7. I have loved reading educational material ever since I was very young. It all started when the family got a set of encyclopedias. I read through every one several times and still have a lot of the information I learned stored away in my head. Today, thanks to the Internet, Wikipedia provides me the same joy, and even more useless trivia.
8. Even though most people my age are already finished with college, I am still just a freshman. I have a very hard time deciding on what I really want to do with my life because I have so many interests. My majors have ranged from military nursing to foreign language.
9. I am very shy about what I write and draw because I am the worst sort of perfectionist. I have actually been working on this post for hours. :(
10. I have sustained several head injuries over the course of my life: first, I was dropped on my head as an infant. Then I ran into a wall around age four and split my forehead open (the scar is still there). Lastly, in fifth grade, I fell backwards off of a swing and hit the back of my head on a wooden board. I believe these knocks to my head play a big part in who I am today.
P.S. - I am currently working on getting the images from the Boss Guide made up into wallpapers! Please let me know if there is a certain size you are interested in!

Also, some 1280X800 pixel resolutions would be nice :)

If they were ever made into posters, or even just available in print then I'd buy one
Unless you wanted to send me a few for my home office wall ;)

@megaStryke: *blush* :)
@The Young Scot: It's a lot more dull when it's the only "interesting" story you have to tell. I've heard it too many times for it to be exciting anymore!

Also, your perfectionist tendencies pay off. It always shows. I love your stuff!

As for the wallpapers, well I'm using a Machinarium wallpaper that I refuse to change until the game comes out, but I'm sure macbook owners would like 1280 x 800 sized wallpapers ^_^

If you ever feel the surprising need to be generous to me for whatever reason I request a bearded samurai as only you could do.

And is Munroe really as good a kisser as I think he is?
(# 35) on 02/03/2009 23:29
Also... I am 27 and just started being able to go back to school and I am still figuring out what the hell to do, so don't feel down about that... unless it accidentally made you feel worse... haha. =)

Other time I was like 7 or 8 years old and we were playing at my grandma's small backyard and suddenly I was running and hit my forehead with the sharp edge of an AC machine, I went to emergencies and they sewed it back. I don't recall where the injury was, maybe I can findd the scar if I look closely.

Love the art style and love the random articles you write.
(# 38) on 02/06/2009 23:07
All of your writing/art is great (that I've seen), I have no idea why you doubt yourself so much :)
I'll take a 1680x1050 wallpaper, if you please :D

Also I've been listening to back episodes of Podtoid and I must say you have a really sweet voice.

I feel out of a chair when I was an infant, and ran head long into a wall when I was four (pro. wrestling was forbidden in the house after that).
It's nice to know there are people out there whose heads attract damage.
