Three More than the Answer
Three things that scare me:
-calling up a girl for the first time/asking for her number in the first place
-hanging out with people I don't know
-making a fool out of myself in front of or failing to protect those I'm responsible for
Three things that make me laugh:
-Brian Lee, aka "Mr. Hawk"
-British commercials
-being my post-ironic self, complete with the internal Gorillaz/Snatch/Ska internal soundtrack
Three things I love:
-God
-My family and friends
-Stewart's Orange Cream soda
Three things I hate:
-rudeness and cruelty
-demagogues
-Smashing Pumpkins
Three things I don't understand:
-the Green Party
-wimmins
-what a "systems" major does
Three things on my desk:
-Bible
-CD playa
-The Count of Monte Cristo
Three facts about me at this moment:
-I'm listening to Reel Big Fish's Beer, one of my favorite songs
-I didn't go to sleep last night
-I'm unhappy that I haven't found anyone who shares my love of history and science, and especially no one with those interests who's also an Evangelical
Three facts about me in general:
-You don't know me. This is my own fault, of course, for being too shy and arrogant.
-I'm usually pretty upbeat, but with occasional short periods of extreme funk
-I'm willing to admit that Hey Mickey is one of my favorite songs
Three things to do before I die:
-write a book
-help cause someone to be converted to Christianity
-win an award or come in first place in something
Three things I can do:
-play French horn
-give good advice, so I'm told
-listen without judging
Three things I can't do:
-abide stupidity
-sing/dance very well
-fluttertongue, which is a skill used in playing the horn, and isn't something dirty
Three famous people I'd like to meet:
-St. Paul
-St. Thomas Aquinas
-St. Francis of Asissi
Three songs I like:
-Beer, by Reel Big Fish
-Sunday Bloody Sunday, by U2
-Carry On Wayward Son, by Kansas
Three things that turn me on about another person:
-intelligence
-faith
-smile
Three movies I watch all the time:
-The Razor's Edge (1984 version)
-The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
-Patton
Three things I say the most:
-"Sweet!"
-"How are you?" in an Ah-nuld accent from Kindergarten Cop
-"Outstanding!" in a Sgt. Hartmann accent from Full Metal Jacket

p.s. In case you were somehow on another planet, such as Stavromula Beta, 42 is the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything.
