Well, I’m back already. “why so soon?” you may ask. The answer to that question is that I am a wee bit anxious, I know that I only started my blog today but I want it to have a bit more substance than “hey look I started a blog.” So anyway, I was surveying my list of things to do with my blog and I was able to place check marks next to such categories as “create” “first post” and “make pretty” but I found that I was incapable of checking “introduce myself” off of the list. I am also incapable of checking off “write a post worth reading” but, who knows, I may never accomplish that wonderful task. But without further ado, I am going to allow myself to make my list much less daunting.
Hello, my name is Adam, I was born 17 years, 8 months, and 19 days ago, I live in West Fargo, North Dakota (It’s directly west of Fargo, infact I need only walk to the end of my block to be in Fargo) And yes, before you ask, I do love the movie Fargo. Everytime I leave town I get baraged with questions about what life in Fargo is like. No, not everybody talks like they do in the movie (although there are a few) and no, I’ve never met anybody who died by way of woodchipper. I plan on using this space to discuss life in Fargo, including any and all frustrations it presents as well as the few miniscule things I happen to like about it, so if that interests you, stay tuned, and if not, I will post about many things aside from my land of habitation.
Alright, now that I have established that I am from the mythical land of Fargo, I do believe it is about time I told you all about my interests. I consider myself to be a very large theatre nerd. There is nothing I enjoy more than performing, infact there aren’t too many things I like better than rehearsing. I absolutely will not say that I am the best actor, singer, or dancer there is, but I doubt you will find another person who enjoys it as much as I do. Musical theatre is definitely my favorite type of theatre, it just seems to me that if you aren’t singing and dancing, you’re cheating. Now I know that song and dance very often is inappropriate for a particular show and I do thoroughly enjoy straight plays as well. I am sure that the theatre will be a prevelant topic in the future. Now, as well as the theatre I love music, although I listen primarily to the cast albums from musicals, I do have an intense love for good rock music. Some of my favorite artists include but are not limited to Weezer, The White Stripes, The Beatles, The Clash, Arctic Monkeys, and Regina Spektor. You could say that I am a bit of an audiophile, I can’t stand sitting in a room that doesn’t have music playing and when I do find myself in such unpleasant circumstances I make my own music, be that by singing, or whistiling, or what have you. Yes, incase you were wondering what direction this post was headed in, books are next. I love to read. (I think the word love is being over used in the post and as a result the effectiveness of the word has been diminished. oh well I don’t feel like finding a new verb) My favorite books are sci-fi and fantasy (although a bit of romance here and there never hurt anybody)
Now that we’ve made it this far I will move along to the slightly less important aspects of my life, I believe this will wind up looking like a large list with lots of commas and then the word “and” right before the last part of the list. But, considering I haven’t written this section of the post yet, I couldn’t say for sure… I enjoy watching sports (including pro wrestling). My favorite television shows are Heroes, Gilmore Girls, and Will and Grace. I can’t stand the colors black and brown together. I don’t have a favorite color, although I am partial to the colors teal and green. I have three best friends. One of those best friends is gay, so homosexuality is an important issue to me. I am in choir. I have an excessively large number of sweaters and shoes (over 40 sweaters, over 20 pairs of shoes). I like to look nice all the time, regardless of what I’m doing. I stutter and twitch when I get too tired. I used to write alot of poetry, but have recently cut back. I really enjoy reading poetry. I am a sucker for a chick flick. My favorite foods include corn dogs, pizza, and peanut butter crunch. Converse shoes are my favorite. I am a very big fan of the Green Bay Packers. I lift weights and run most days. I play softball. I like hair products. My parents both used to be clowns. My grandfather is a really good painter. Cute socks make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. My favorite movies include Juno, Cabaret, Singin’ in the Rain, About a Boy, My Fair Lady, and Catch Me If You Can. I enjoy looking at myself in the mirror a bit too much. My father is the biggest computer nerd you’ll ever meet, he is also a bonafide genius. Sports dominated my life until my sophomore year of high school when I joined the drama club. My favorite board game is Trivial Pursuit. I prefer tortilla chips to potato chips. My two favorite beverages are milk and orang juice. I don’t drink soda. When I did drink soda my favorite was Cherry Coke. I love angel food cake. I love hats, but hate to wear them. I like long walks on the beach and getting caught in the rain… oh wait… I think that is enough about me. That big list of things about me wound up not going exactly as planned, there were more periods than commas and the “and” wound up being non-existant.
Well, that’s me, if there’s anything else you want to know… just ask.
