Consumed with what's to transpire

I'd like nothing more than to be able to justify my lack of posts with some kind of excuse. Finals were mid-December, though, and I've had plenty of time to waste since then. But hey, I only have two readers, so it's not that important anyway. I can say that I've been lazy. I can say that.

I figured now would be a better time than any to go ahead and do the 16 random facts thing that I've seen on blogs and Facebook. I didn't make a New Year's Resolution, so maybe if I can sort all of this out I can come to a conclusion about how I can change myself (how can't I, really?).

16. I believe Superman to be the ultimate cop-out of any super hero ever made. I mean really, he's DC's favored character; faster than a speeding bullet, the man of steel. The guy's a boy scout. Why even have the Justice League at that point? At least Marvel's most powerful hero, The Sentry, with the power of a million exploding suns, is an agoraphobic schizophrenic who is afraid of his own powers. That's why World War Hulk was so great (a vague reference, yes, but you'll have to find out for yourself).

15. I'm joking around 99% of the time. Sometimes I end up crossing some lines. If this happens, I appologize; it was completely unintended.

14. While I may be joking around about nearly everything, I'm incredibly insecure, and anyone who's known me for a good amount of time would know this. I put up a tough front most of the time, and I really try to not care about a lot of things, but in the words of a great man: "You can't be the hero all of the time."

13. My response to that was: "Dad, I can't NOT try."

12. There is absolutely no reason for everyone on Earth to go shopping the day after Christmas. Can't you just be happy with what you got?

11. I'm the hardest-working, laziest person you will every meet. I procrastinate like it's my job.

10. I'm a little kid at heart. I like to run around in the rain or snow and act like a little kid again. I think deep down we all miss it.

9. Why yes, I am fully aware that "Ray" coincidentally rhymes with "Gay." Feel free to insult me with a little more originality, because I HAVEN'T heard that since the fourth grade. Real mature.

8. I have perhaps the world's lowest self-esteem, though I try not to show it (. I don't ever feel like I'm doing enough for my friends; they tell me not to go out of my way for them, but I never consider it going out of my way. Though I've been told otherwise, I don't find myself physically attractive in any way. I just don't see it.

7. Nerd Alert! That's me. You'll often find me talking about World of Warcraft or various other videogames to my friends as well as creating "who would win in a fight?" scenarios.

6. Back in the day, I used to listen to nothing but Classic Rock, because, well, that's what I grew up on. My dad would always have something old school on the radio while we were in the car. Since then, however, my music taste has changed from Classic Rock to newer Rock.

5. I totally passed out trying to think of a number 5 somewhere around 2:30 in the morning and woke up at 6:30. Oops.

4. More often than not, I find myself re-imagining my current situation (i.e. whatever I may be doing at that exact moment) with a slight twist. It could be anything from having super power to having other people there with me to having different conversations. I used to do this all of the time for who knows why, but recently it hasn't been happening much. I couldn't tell you why.

3. I'm super afraid of spiders. They're horrible and I want nothing to do with them. It's one of my only fears, and I really hate them.

2. I have the worst diet ever, to which I could possibly attribute why I feel like shit 90% of the time. People always ask me how I could possibly eat like I do and stay relatively thin. Truth is, I don't know.

1. All I really want to do is build forts with you.
