New Year’s Revelations

10 Random Things About Me
1. After getting a haircut, I must immediately take a shower. I have crazy itchy hair… no kidding, back when BC ex-girlfriend gave me haircuts (money saver) one of my cut hairs gave her a splinter.
2. The first thing I do when I wake up, even before getting out of bed, is pop my back. Ahhh.
3. My middle name is Isamu - my Japanese Grandfather’s name. Mom tells me it means courage.
4. I’m the only one I know who can control the focus of their eyes, purposefully blurring them. No one can ever tell. No cross-eyed action or anything. It’s kind of like being able to wiggle your ears or flare your nostrils (I can also do those), and came in handy as self-conscious kid watching horror films with his friends.
5. I’m a terrible speller, but still a pretty decent Scrabble player.
6. I think all feet, by nature, are ugly. The ugliest part of the human body in fact. It’s probably because I have bunions and flat feet.
7. I love to have my hands rubbed.
8. July 14, 2005 was the hardest night of my life.
9. I’m violently ticklish.
10. I was THE sickly kid… allergies, inhalers, asthma attacks… all that. Skinny as a rail (think orange on a toothpick).
