Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I've skipped class to watch the Brewers on ESPN and never thought twice about it. (Sorry Mom & Dad)
2. I'm pretty good at fantasy baseball.
3. I'm terrible at fantasy football.
4. I'm currently attempting (with three friends) to catch them all, and if that doesn't mean anything to you you're older than 25.
5. I'm terrified that kids don't like me because my overarching life goal is to have them. My luck seems to be turning in this area, however.
6. I know way too much about certain videogames.
7. If there was one thing from videogames I wish I could do, I'd play blitzball.
8. I'd been to three hockey games in my life and played soccer one summer in elementary school before coming to college. Now I go to as many hockey games as I can and have played soccer every week for five years.
9. My favorite foods coincide with tailgating fare. There may or may not be good reasons for this.
10. I have a really bizarre skill set, including (but not limited to) videogaming, classic literature, musical composition, athletic competition, navigation, internet culture, and board games.
11. I can't help but notice that the list in #10 has nothing to do with my major.
12. I can be bribed to do anything with Vanilla Coke.
13. I'm functionally nocturnal.
14. My first girlfriend is still one of my most trusted friends in the world.
15. My third year of college was really REALLY weird.
16. My vocabulary is about a thousand times better written than spoken. This irks me incessantly. Specifically, how I wrote, "This irks me incessantly," without thinking, but I know that if I was talking it would come out as, "That sucks."
17. I brought my baby blanket and teddy bear to college and still sleep with them.
18. I can irritate my roommates by listening to Miley Cyrus and Avril Lavigne, but mostly I listen to them because I like the music.
19. I am what is known as an "easy mark", and I would give anything to not be -- but I like the attention, because it's all I get, so sometimes I set myself up for abuse.
20. I'm terrified of heights -- less because of my actual likelihood of falling from them than because of my tendency to wonder "I wonder what it would be like to fall from here?" and my worry that curiosity will one day get the better of me.
21. For that matter, I often visualize doing lots of really really stupid things because I wonder it would be like. These include seppuku, rolling my car doing 70 down the interstate, etc.
22. On a similar note: I once promised an ex that I would go skydiving if she wanted to. I was serious. In a related development I dread the day she calls me on it.
23. There are four things on my bucket list and they all involve baseball.
24. Totally ridiculous thing I want to learn at some point in my life that you never ever would have guessed: mountain climbing.
25. I keep a mental note of who is going to be in my wedding party.
