a recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

Most recent picture of me, standing on the edge of a cliff next to highway 1, somewhere between L.A. and San Francisco.

I don't like starting with this one, but its the first one on the list, so I must...

1. I enjoy maps and black and white photography on my walls
2. I’ve lived in the following states (in this order): Kansas, Oklahoma, Indiana, Alaska, Georgia, South Dakota and New York (and currently back in Georgia)
3. My favorite season of the year is fall... I mean c'mon. Crisp weather, football, my birthday, some good holidays, and football. How could any other season compete?
4. My favorite/lucky numbers are 4 and 11.
5. I have a cat named Fitz. I like him.
6. If C.S. Lewis wrote something down, I want to read it.
7. I once jumped off a balcony and landed on a couch, all while sleep-walking. There are other stories of sleep-walking adventures, but jumping off the balcony wins.
8. Top two concerts I've been to... Radiohead at Lakewood in the pit, and MuteMath at the Tabernacle (DVD comes out soon)
9. I've never seen the Star Wars movies, but I'm working on a plan to make that happen soon.
10. I have a small record collection, a decent library, and, in a box somewhere, I have a pretty good collection of basketball cards from the early-mid nineties.
11. I once claimed to be able to pack any amount of luggage into the trunk of a car, and if you think I can't, you're wrong.
12. I played music with one of my top-5 favorite musicians.
13. If I'm trying to fall asleep in a quiet room with a ticking clock, I have to take the clock out of the room or the batteries out of the clock.
14. The easiest class ever I've ever taken... we would meet once a week, watch a movie, talk about it, and then write up a page about the movie. This is the one class I failed throughout my entire academic career.
15. I am incapable of keeping a pair of sunglasses for more than a month without losing them or breaking them... unless of course I don't like the sunglasses, in which case I don't have any issue holding onto them for years. I buy cheap sunglasses.
