Randomness

Kristen and LB tagged me so here goes...

The Rules:

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules. (**if you’re a non-blogger, you can email them!)
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

My Random Facts:

1)I keep four fresh containers of Play-Doh next to my computer. How could you not? They remind me of childhood, they are fun to squeeze when stressed, and I can make cool action figures on my keyboard tray so they can war against each other. Please...

2)I have a bookshelf in my room loaded with a lot of books I still haven't read. When I was in Mansfield living by myself for a year, and hardly ever seeing other living people, I went to the bookstore, and bought books. Like six at a time. It was my refuge from life. I haven't had time to read them all.

3)In High School, at my girlfriend's Senior Prom, I voted for her best friend as Prom Queen instead of her. I did this because I thought no one could vote for their own girlfriend or boyfriend for Prom royalty. My girlfriend lost by one vote for Kirbyville High School Prom Queen 1996 to her best friend. Ouch.

4)I love to grab the underside of the stitching on my t-shirts and rub them. Every shirt has a different feel, and I love the variances. My favorite part, and almost always the best one, is where the sleeve and the shoulder stitching is.

5)I think the best order to watch the Star Wars saga is:

4-A NEW HOPE
5-EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
2-ATTACK OF THE CLONES
3-REVENGE OF THE SITH
6-RETURN OF THE JEDI

You may ask why I think this. (Probably not, but I'm going to tell you anyway) The prequels are nothing but back story anyway. The story starts in 4. We need to jump right in the action. Then after 5, we want to know how in the world homeboy got in the suit. So we go back to the Clone Wars in part 2. (Nothing happens in Episode 1. Don't worry about it.) Then, after the devastation of 3, we go to the finale of all that has happened for the past 40+ years. This is editing en masse. Editing is the juxtaposition, and rubbing together of disparate images and actions. Each new collision of story creates a new emotion, and pushes the story forward and deeper until the climax of it all. Well, this is editing Star Wars on a grand scale, and the results may shock you, even though you will never take the time to do this.

6)I love to drive. It is one of the top things that God uses to draw me closer to Him. It is hypnotic for me. I'm moved to deep waters that are a blessing to swim in. In High School, I drove 45 minutes to get to school, and in some of college, I drove one and a half hours each way to school. I loved almost every minute of it.

7)I moved to Los Angeles, stayed for 3 days, packed all my stuff up, and moved back to Texas. I was scared.

8)I pitched a movie (presented a short synopsis of a movie) to the creative executive at Lightstorm Entertainment, which is Jim Cameron's production company in Santa Monica. I sat under the most massive TITANIC poster I've ever seen. It was a cool experience.

I tag Geoff, Gus Granger, Allan, Dee, Robert A., Arry P., Dwight S., and Andy B.
