    I once plotted to rob a casino in Laughlin Nevada. It may or may not become a story. Ocean's Eleven, but different.

    I'm making a harness for my cat in the chain-malle style just to make it easy to take him for walks. He was already 11 when he came into my life.

    I hate waiting, especially waiting in line.

    That is not too bad my friend, I somehow got into the habit of spelling restaurant wrong, and so autocorrect makes it restraint. Because it is not highlighted, I will reread my typing and realize if sent without really checking, how bad that would sound. It would sound like a bad 50 Shades of Grey book!

    I became a devout church goer as a child secretly for free doughnuts and juice.

    the donuts at my childhood church were pretty good until they started buying from Safeway

    I would love to drive in a figure-8 race, preferably in a school bus.

    Can I escalate this to “Holy Shit” levels?

    I once nearly reported a Facebook friend of mine to the FBI because she posted a picture of herself with a gun despite the caption saying she was going to the target range like a true American.

    To be fair, this was just after the Parkland shooting.

    Still, I look back and go, “This was a needless catastrophe I narrowly caused due to my stupidity.”

    Granted, there's quite a bit more you can do with a bus. Despite the physics being all wrong, Speed came up with some interesting ideas for bus-caused destruction – fun for the whole family.

    I went to these as a kid and they were the best. There's a demo derby track with this in MN and I loved it there. If my family had more money when I was younger, I would have been a driver there and my dad a mechanic. I may still do it as a hobby some day.

    one of my claim to fame was being able to sound exactly like Gollum as a kid.

    (I'm watching Lord of the Rings now and attempted it... yeah, my throat hurts now)

    I sing very loud in the car on my drives and I have no idea if it sounds good or not. But after four years of it I can certainly hold notes better and have a much larger range than before.

    But no one has ever heard me sing actually. I'm terrified of people hating it.

    I'm sure that it is fine. I always hear people say that they can't sing (or that they sound like a dying animal) but that isn't necessarily true. You shouldn't have to be terrified of what others think about you, because at the end of the day the only opinion that matters is your own.

    I find most modern horror films so riddled with predictability and cliche that I am unable to enjoy them. And, I find the World of Warcraft cinematics far more engaging than the Warcraft movie.

    Is it crazy that I find my guitar and electro drum kit to have more
    personality than most people? o_O

    I throw out milk on its expiration date. I don't care how much is left in the jug, and don't check to see if it's still good.

    I've never tried virtual reality. The Oculus TV commercials make it look amazing.
