Green Swizzle

1. I have an asthma-like condition. Cold, smoke, and vast amounts of hazardous fumes will trigger problems for me.
2. I am a painter by trade.
3. I live in the Grand Rapids area of Michigan.
4. I enjoy reading P.G. Wodehouse’s works though I enjoyed his autobiographical stuff the most of all his written material.
5. In my school years between 4^th and 12^th grade I maintained roughly a “D” grade average. I (almost) fail to see why I brought that up.
6. I have 5+ years of college with no degree to show for it.
7. I have perfectionist tendencies.
8. I was within a hand’s breadth of joining the US Marines.
9. I read “How To Read A Book” by Mortimer Adler, got my butt kicked by it, and enjoyed it.
10. I find the way mechanics and medical doctors think fascinating.
11. I am originally from the SF bay area and didn’t leave the state of Ca. EVER until I was 19.
12. I am 99.999999999 etc.% never bored. The .111111111% of the time I am really tired more than bored and just can’t concentrate.
13. I conjugate ideas like Latin students do with verbs. Except I’m not as predictable.
14. I officially studied Biblical Greek, German, and French in school.
15. I am well acquainted with the writing style of dictionary entries. Sometimes I speak like a dictionary.
16. I read The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle three times. Consecutively.
17. I love etymology.
18. I love theology.
19. I am extremely particular about how food tastes. It doesn’t matter who it is that makes whatever-it-is, if there’s something lacking (or there that shouldn’t be), I’ll notice it.
20. I have a profound appreciation for firearms.
21. I love puns and double entendre. Especially when the double entendre is antithetic. Triple entendre is generally forced.
22. I dislike loud and invasive noises.
23. I don’t like being asked how I am because very rarely I’m prepared to answer that question if the asker is being sincere.
24. I enjoy willingly giving my resources to others and making them happy.

 

   25.    But I don’t like high taxation.
