In the mood for a meme? My friend Adam was kind enough to tag me with the classic, “8 random things you may not know about me,” chain, so here’s my contribution:
- I’ve always been a genius with math. Remember that guy in calculus who spent the entire class playing card games on his calculator and still managed to get A’s? Yeah, that was me (literally). It’s just a talent I have. Why didn’t I pursue a math degree, you ask? It wasn’t a lack of ability. Frankly, I just didn’t want to do math for a living.
- I prefer cartoons to other television shows. My tastes may have changed over the years (nowadays I’m really into anime), but I’ve never really grown out of cartoons.
- I’m very health-conscious. Not to be confused with a “health nut,” ever since college I’ve been very aware of the health choices I make. If I only followed my own advice, I’d probably be lean and fit. Blast my sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy appetites!
- I married young. 20, in fact, and my wife was 18 at the time. As high school sweethearts, we were dating for three years, engaged for one, and married for the past four. Despite statistics that might suggest otherwise, we’re still madly in love with one another and look forward to the rest of our lives together.
- My middle name is Thaddeus. Hence the name on Adam’s tag. Whenever I mention it, people exclaim how interesting and unique it is and wonder why I don’t use it. Frankly, I do; my family refuses to call me anything else. As far as I’m concerned, though, the rest of the world will always know me as Stephen.
- I’m a stickler for proper spelling and punctuation. See how meticulously I write? Well, this is how I write all the time, even when chatting or taking quick notes. It doesn’t make me freak out to do otherwise; it’s just a habit I’ve developed over the years.
- My career practically fell in my lap. I went to school to become a therapist. After submitting a bug fix to my college’s website, though, I was offered a webmaster position. Likewise, my initial experiences in blogging and search marketing came entirely unsolicited. You could say that I’m good at learning on the job, but the fact remains that I didn’t end up in my line of work by design.
That ought to cover it. Except, of course, for my tags. In the spirit of the meme, I demand that the following individuals post their own random facts.
