12 Things Meme
14 years ago
Been a long time since there was any kind of update here, whether it be an art or journal. I got tagged by 
slickfox so here's the meme!
12 things you might not know about me:
1. Even though I grew up in Tennessee and went to school with people who pretty obviously sound like that's where they grew up, I do not generally have much of an accent. I am actually pretty happy.proud of that. And regardless of how much
tobythebunny might try to convince you otherwise, I am not a redneck.
2. Though I am a big homo who loves Broadway musicals and theatre and opera and culture and other things, I also love sports and football in particular. I officiated flag football and college and would love to officiate at higher levels of organized football.
3. Even though I've got a beard and might not look it, I really am 22. :D
4. When I was 5 and my brother was 2 I sliced his eye open with a garden hoe.
5. Even though I'd consider myself pretty outgoing I'm actually pretty introverted. I'm very self-aware and often consumed by my own thoughts. My personal interactions often take a lot out of me.
6. I'm the kind of person that if I won the lottery tomorrow I'd quit my job so I could do all the things I want to do. I don't understand most people who say they'd keep working or find a job they could really enjoy doing.
7. As much as I love music it's often difficult for me to find something I'll actually sit and listen to because I can find it hard to get into or have it help represent my mood. I can be finicky or have trouble with settling on things.
8. There are a lot of parts of life I have yet to experience, and even though I can be a bit shy about trying to figure some of them out I'm really eager to try to learn and experiment with new things. There's almost nothing I love more than expanding my knowledge base.
9. I've been told my massages are some of the best. :)
10. My mood is sometimes affected by those around me and close friends, to the point that I'm unable to control it. Working on finding ways to buffer.
11. I am an intensely emotional person but do my best to hide it from most. Though I've heard at times from some close friends that I'm not as good at it as I'd like to believe.
12. There are fewer people in this world than I think most would expect with whom I'd actually use the label "friend."
Answers to the questions the fox boy posed:
1. Why for being a furry, did you choose to be that animal?
I knew as I discovered furry stuff that a canine character was what I wanted. This was probably due to my extreme love and connection to the dogs I had growing up and my affection for the "pack lifestyle" since I'm someone who surrounds himself with a close inner circle and others to help make life fun.
2. What is your favourite thing to do when your alone?
My favorite thing to do when alone is probably read a good book, but I'm extremely picky about what I read so it doesn't happen too often. Lately work has kept me so busy that a lot of my alone and relaxing time is spent keeping up with the few tv shows I like to follow via Hulu.
3. Is there something you do alot of in particular? Like sleeping, or playing a specific game, just as examples, to even a habit.
I can think of anything off hand that would make sense to me as an answer to this question. I guess I play a lot of the game 'Toobs' on my iPhone because it's one I like to pass the time.
4. Is there something you feel you can do better than anyone else?
This one really depends on exactly how you look at things. I think I officiate football better than most people I've ever come in contact with. But do I do something better than anyone else in the world? No, there's nothing I'm that good at.
5. If you met me in real life, what would you do, or want to do?
Since it was slickfox who tagged me I assume it refers to him, and the first thing I'd do with that fox is find a place to snuggle. :3
6. What would you like your profession to be? As in career.
This is a question I've struggled with a lot, especially because I graduated in May with no idea where I was going or what I was doing, and I've become increasingly unhappy with my current job. I think a job for me that I'd really like to do would have me working with people and communication somehow. I could see myself being a really good executive assistant for someone or working as a spokesperson/in PR.
7. How did you meet your mate/lover? And if you lack that, then how did you meet your best friend?
Don't have a mate or lover and I'd say there are two people I'd consider my best friends for different reasons. First, I met tobythebunny via the interwebs on another furry site. I think it's still something he finds pretty amusing. We'd actually first talked to each other sometime in 2008 or 2009, way back, but we didn't really connect and talk more until I found him on Twitter and things went from there. With 
scottjfox the story is easy enough. I met Scott through Twitter, as I think most people do. :P
8. What is the funniest thing you have ever seen? And if possible, link it.[b]
This is something that's even hard to try to come up with, especially with the mood I'm currently in. Chances are it wouldn't be something I could link though.
[b]9. If you ended up getting trapped on an island, one that had plenty of food and things to use, what 3 things or people would you bring with you? (immediate escape tools are not allowed, boat, plane, ect, ect.)
tobythebunny, scottjfox, and probably an iPod or some other music device type thing.
10. If you play League of Legends, what champion do you play the most and why? If you do not play League of Legends, what is your favourite fantasy character, and why? Do you relate to these characters, or do you just like them?
I don't play LoL, and I've never been much of a fantasy gamer or anything like that. Favorite fantasy character would probably be someone from Tolkien's books. Maybe Gandalf. I just always loved the wisdom and passion the old wizard showed.
11. What is your most memorable memory? Why did you remember it so well?
My most memorable memory of life so far probably has to do with my brother's eye accident, and I remember it so well because it's the most traumatic experience of my life.
12. If you could have one non-material thing in the world, what would it be?
Love in the way I hope to find it.
Hope it was insightful for you. :P Don't know that I'll tag anyone here, and I certainly don't think I could figure out 12 to tag. If you do this and want me to see it, feel free to put a link in the comments.
