I Give In

I give in. I still think this whole 25 Things MEME is just downright silly, but here's my list regardless:

1. I've lived in 8 different states and in 2 countries
2. I attended 9 different schools during K-12 education
3. Prior to living in Northern Kentucky, I had not lived anywhere more than three years in one stretch
4. Every couple of years, I get an insatiable itch to move
5. I haven't had that itch since I've been in Chicago, but it hasn't been 3 years yet
6. I want to go back to school to get a PhD so I can teach, but I'm pretty fluid in what I want to teach
7. I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to make #6 happen
8. I always feel awkward in new social situations, even though most people say they don't notice
9. If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is move my family to Chicago
10. I wasn't sure I would find happiness in a relationship until I met Esvan
11. Peanut Butter and Crackers is one of my favorite foods. Best. Comfort Food. Ever.
12. I really only miss a few people from all the places I lived, and I've been lucky enough to find them again later in life. Mostly
13. I often day dream about moving back to Cincinnati, then I remember that my friends and family are the only things I miss there. I hate the rest of that place with a passion
14. I've always been the rebellious type, but I'm usually subtle about it
15. I miss religion in my life, but I despise Christianity
16. Music is my favorite outlet
17. I haven't found an album that I can relate to in over 2 years
18. I haven't written any music or touched my guitar in over a year
19. I'm constantly trying to leverage my skills into another revenue stream, but I can't seem to monetize anything I do
20. I have an unhealthy love of J-names - Jesse, James, John, Jack… love them.
21. The reason my style has changed drastically since I was younger is because I'm really an introverted guy with slightly shy tendencies
22. I've always wanted to front a rock band
23. I also want to get back to drumming
24. I love video games, but most can't hold my attention for more than a night or two
25. I feel extremely fortunate to be where I am in life, and confident that it's not by accident
