Jeeze, now that I have a shiny new avatar, I feel like I need to parade it all over the place. Plus, I'm a sucker for surveys and pseudo-surveys.
1. Within the next month I will be an officially recognized Professional Chemist in the province of Alberta.
2. I've been a vegetarian for over six years, but still cook a better steak than most omnivores.
3. I live alone, and while I would love a bit more companionship (particularly of the female sort), I value my personal space far too much to even consider getting a roommate.
4. Nine days out of ten, I strip naked the second I get home from work, and stay naked until I have to leave the apartment again. Wearing clothes while I'm at home by myself just seems extraneous.
5. I'm an intermediate-level student flutist. I hope within a couple of years to start learning some outside techniques; circular breathing and the articulations used in jazz flute and beatboxing.
6. Ever since I was six, I've needed to have one 'fun' book on the go at all times. Even while researching for papers or preparing for exams at school. Yet I still prefer to only read one 'fun' book at a time.
7. I internalize my emotional responses, so any upsetting, anxiety-causing or other disturbing situations cause me physical pain. Usually manifesting as GI distress or headaches.
8. I still live in the city of my birth, and am the only person that I know of (IRL) who has not moved to my city from elsewhere.
9. I'm finding it tough to think of 25 random-enough facts for this list.
10. The longest that I've gone without speaking was on the order of 23-24 days during a severe depression/social anxiety episode. During that time I had essentially no human contact despite living at home, as I had timed my sleep schedule to avoid everyone.
11. Professionally, I'm very decisive, but in my personal life I'm highly indecisive.
12. I'm a recovering television addict. Unfortunately, I think that I may have just transferred my addiction to the internet.
13. My index toe is as long as my pinkie finger, and nearly as dextrous.
14. I deplore violence, but I think that I'd make a pretty good dictator.
15. I've been at this for over half an hour, and am really running low on ideas.
16. I stutter. Or rather I used to, and thanks to years of therapy I generally don't any more.
Um, and that's all I can think of for now.
