I was tagged by snglguy with this meme. Hopefully it will make some sense. This is my chance to discover who the f-ck I am (okay, that sounded so queer). On with the post.

20 random facts about me (which you probably won’t give a rat’s ass about).

1. I am overweight. Yup. I am a big, fat, lazy piece of shit.
2. I like to smoke but I am trying to find a way to stop. Not because I know it will eventually kill me but because I want to cut back on my expenses.
3. I am an occasional drinker. And since my budget does not allow me to splurge on branded, imported and expensive intoxicating drinks, I’d do fine with beer — lots of it.
4. The only scholastic award I got during my entire student life was “Best in P.E.” — that was when I was in Elementary (Grade 5). Shit, I don’t even think that it is considered as a legit award.
5. I always wanted to be a photographer or an architect but instead was indirectly forced to take up an engineering course so I ended up being a computer programmer.
6. I like to read books preferably the ones labelled “Classics”. You know, Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and … uhm … Shakespeare. I also like fantasy books (not erotic fantasy but fantasy with dragons, wizards, etc.) but I never did get addicted to Harry Potter.
7. I am an insomniac.
8. I like anime! I started self-learning on how to draw manga a while ago but for some reason, I gave up because I could never get to draw the body right. What with all that perspective shit and shading. It was too hard for me. But I am thinking of trying again.
9. I have a great sense of humor.
10. I am a frustrated musician. One career path I dreamed of following when I was still in high school was to be part of a band. Well, some of my buddies and I formed one and I ended up learning how to play the drums. It didn’t work out so we disbanded. I’d still like to give this dream a go but it’d be hard to find dedicated band members. And I haven’t played the drums in about 2 years already so I think my skills have deteriorated.
11. I prefer rock music over all the other genres.
12. I like watching comedy shows.
13. I like to write poetry. When I finish a poem and re-read it, I notice that it is the kind of literature grade schoolers can probably come up with (or even make better ones). So I end up throwing it away and not sharing it here on my blog.
14. I like playing video games. Preferred platform is our family PC since I cannot afford to buy a video game console. The knack for video games may have been a factor why I left my dream of becoming a fine arts student and took up computer science. I wanted to make my own game. Now, I can’t even make a simple tic-tac-toe game. I should have gone to fine arts.
15. I love pasta. Like spaghetti and pizza. Is pizza a pasta? Whatever.
16. I have a receding hairline even though I am only 2# years old. I miss wearing my hair to shoulder length … damn these company rules and guidelines.
17. My favorite fruit is the mango. Either the yellow, sweet one or the green, sour one. I’m starting to salivate thinking about it.
18. I like banana cue but I don’t like Cueshe. LOL!
19. 5′ 10″ — my height. Duh!
20. I am still single and available. This is a shameless plug but it does get lonely sometimes.

Okay, I think that’s already 20. I can’t quite remember the last time I did this kind of exercise. Wait, it was probably when my sister got a hold of that once famous “autograph” notebooks and forced me to write shit like this. Now that I mention it, I can’t remember who I wrote in the Who is your crush? line.

I am not tagging anyone since I don’t know how many I must tag. If, by any chance you get to read this post, and feel obligated to do the exercise yourself, then feel free. Wait, it wouldn’t be a meaningful meme if I don’t tag anyone. So, I decided to tag everyone who reads my blog. If you have already been tagged, then there is no need to repeat yourself, right? Good.

Later.
