Alex tagged me on the ‘16 Random Things’ meme that’s been doing the rounds. So here’s 16 random things about me…

1. I don’t like spiders. Scratch that. I hate spiders. Detest them. With a vengeance.

2. My career path happened by accident. I never meant to be “the computer guy”; it just happened that way.

3. I hate being called “the computer guy”, or when people describe my job as “he works with computers”. My job actually doesn’t involve me being “the computer guy”.

4. My first car was a 1983 white Ford Fiesta XR2 Sport. It was a piece of crap, but I loved it.

5. My first guitar was a beat up old electric of unknown manufacturer. I learned to play on that and it had an action so high that my fingers actually bled.

6. I’m a drummer before anything else. I’ve played since I was 7 and still practice my rudiments.

7. I collect comics. DC mostly, some Marvel titles. Superman is the greatest superhero ever and makes up more than 50% of my collection.

8. I’m a die-hard soccer (real football) fan. I’m a season ticket holder at LA Galaxy, and I follow Liverpool (English Premier League) and Oxford United (English Football Conference) religiously. If I didn’t know Jesus, soccer would be my religion.

9. I have four cats. I love them, but I won’t go anywhere near their litter boxes (yes, we have multiple litter boxes).

10. I’ve bungee jumped and it was awesome.

11. I’ve tasted many different types of cuisine and have concluded that there is no cuisine as tasty, as supreme, and as satisfying as good Indian cuisine. Thus, Indian food is my favourite food.

12. I’m a walking encyclopedia on NASA’s Apollo project. Ask me a question about any of the Apollo missions and I’ll be able to answer it accurately.

13. I want to learn to fly a plane. I had lessons for a while but ran out of cash and couldn’t continue. I’ll get my pilot’s license one day.

14. I’ve been married for four and a half years to the most amazing woman on the planet.

15. I’m a video gamer.

16. I’m the youngest of 6 children. I have 5 older sisters. Crazy.

I’m supposed to tag people to keep this going, so I tag Kurt, Christian, Derek and Scott.
