I have discovered the awesomeness that is Age of Mythology.

I’ve compiled a list of names and brief descriptions of my favorite prehistoric animals. I’ve sort of slacked off on updating the list lately, but even so it contains over 2,000 entries. (On the first day of class for one of the courses I took in my first year of college, every student had to tell the rest of the class a fact about themselves. Having come in slightly late as a result of not being able to find the room, I said something along the lines of, “I know the names of over 1,500 extinct animals, but I can’t remember the number of this classroom!”

More often than not, I stay up waaaaaaaaaay too late and I fall asleep in front of my computer or at my desk. One time I was in the middle of programming and I fell asleep on the keyboard. Let's just say I had one heck of a time erasing everything my face had typed.

I go to church every Sunday... so far, I have a 100% attendance rate since my baptism last Easter.

I blinded someone in AP Biology (by accident and it was only temporarily)

We were dissecting a shark and he was standing opposite me and when I cut into the shark, the embalming fluid squirted out struck him in the eyes.

Kinda reminds me of when my dissection partner accidentally knocked the dissection tray over and a dissected starfish, guts and everything, landed on the front of my shirt

Wow...Remind me to never agree to be your lab partner...

I’m only kidding!

I’m a hopeless klutz when it comes to lab work myself (please don't misinterpret that as me saying you are!). On my first day of Microbiology lab, when the class was practicing preparing bacterial slides, I managed to scald my hand with a wire sampling loop (I don’t remember exactly what the tool was called

) that I had just sterilized in a Bunsen burner. The burn wasn’t that bad, but the next day in the lecture hall, the professor came up to me and offered to exempt me from lab work, basing my grade entirely on what I learned from the lectures. I immediately and appreciatively accepted. In retrospect, it was a little sad that I didn’t get a chance to see all of those fascinating microorganisms I learned about under a microscope, but at least I still have all my fingers and hair follicles today.

I once saw a brain in a jar of green-colored alcohol solution... and yes, this was a human brain, not a sheep's brain or something like that... I also saw a Madagascar hissing cockroach. It was very loud for such a small creature.

I've never received a traffic or moving violation, but I was in one car wreck as a result of some new driver running a red light <_<.

I have been called for jury duty for the first time ever.

I've never owned a cell phone or made a text message in my life. (Though I've bothered other people's phones for calls.)

I was voted "Most Unique" in my 8th grade class mock elections.

I think horror is the best movie genre.

I was voted "most intelligent" in my middle-school class.
