I've been tagged. Now I have to make a list of ten facts about me, interesting or not. So here we go.

1). Probably something that not a whole lot of people know, but I was born overseas in Thailand. Unfortunately I don't have dual citizenship, the Thai government doesn't have that rule. Before anyone asks, no I can't speak any other languages. Sorry. Although that does lead to some interesting situations, both hilarious and frightening.

2). Somewhat connected with #1 above, the longest time I've lived in one area is seven years, with all seven being in Thailand. Every other place that I've lived has consistently been going downhill, with 6 1/2 in Indonesia, 6 in Illinois, 4 1/2 in Oxford/Cincinnati, and now 10 months here in New Mexico. I seem to be a modern day nomad of sorts.

3). One of my major pet peeves is hearing people mispronounce words that shouldn't. Examples include merlot, Illinois, and Nissan. Yes, people have mispronounced those words, and they seem to be from Texas (no offense). So if I hear any of you mispronounce a word that clearly shouldn't, then I'm going to find you and smack you. Damnit, the ****ing t in merlot is silent! As is the ****ing s in Illinois. How can people in Ohio mess that up? ****ing hell.

4). I'm a pacer. In other words I like moving around to think. I walk circles around the house to help clear my mind. I even do this while I'm on the phone. Helps me think and be more active. Otherwise I might fall asleep on you .

5). I seem to only fall asleep the fastest when I'm on a surface that moves. That is, I have an easier time seeing the Sandman in planes, trains, and automobiles than I do in a bed. Don't know why, but it works that way.

6). I have OCD in which I can't step on crack in the floor or sidewalk. I try to avoid cracks whenever I can. I also apparently have OCD in the way I eat, as in I eat one type of food before the other. All the peas, then rice, then the meat. No mixing. But that's only due to the fact that it pisses off one of my friends and I do it on purpose.

7). I am a visual learner. If I can see it happening in process, then I can probably do it. This includes sports, LEGO building, drawing, and anything else actually. If you were to give it to me in writing, I wouldn't be able to copy it as well.

. I'm a person of dual natures. Not two personalities, but I often argue with myself almost everyday. It's both a good and bad trait of being a Gemini. Yet it often means I'll be staring at a game, movie, or book for ten minutes wondering if I'm going to buy it or not.

9). When it comes to media, I will almost always prefer to watch/read/play something that's set in a science fiction universe. I love being able to see a hopeful future, or even a future where we're not stuck on this planet for eternity.

10). I love planes. I travel a lot mainly by flying. As such, I've grown a love of planes and studying them, whether they be commercial or military. Yet despite my love of planes and my ultimate dream of becoming a pilot, I actually hate it at times.

So there's ten facts about me that I can find. And I have to tag people.
