Nov. 15, 2007 - Introducing myself
Maybe I should tell about myself first. I am your typical Hulking Surly teenager, except for the hulking and surly part. Unfortunately, people tend to forget that not all teenagers are threats to society. Weren’t they teenagers also, once? But I digress.
I play the guitar and piano. I also grow carnivorous plants, build with LEGO bricks, hunt, and study Isshinryu Karate. I climb trees quite well, stand on my head, put my foot behind my head, and, if someone helps me, I wrap my leg backwards until my heel touches my forehead. Our household has two dogs, two cats, two guinea pigs, and one gerbil.
I am not an environmental extremist, nor do I think that Global Warming is true. I have very strong opinions on subjects like Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and the Yeti. I have not dismissed these things, but don’t yet believe that they are real. Until further evidence comes up, I shall remain aloof.
I am rather paranoid, and never feel safe in bed unless I have a flashlight near at hand and am on my top bunk. The top bunk is safer, because it is very difficult to strike someone without the momentum of the swing. I carry my 3 3/8 inch hunting knife everywhere I go, and hate sitting with my back to a door. I also enjoy thinking to myself, If I were a criminal, how would I go about robbing this house, or bank, or restaurant?
I am very good at arguing, except with my parents.
I believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light, that no one will come to heaven but through Him, and that all other roads lead to hell.
I think that Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon and Eldest, ripped off Lord of the Rings, Shannara, The Dragon Riders of Pern, and Star Wars. He has a talent for ripping off the bad scenes.
I will get into each subject in more detail later, and in separate posts.
You add all this up, and you don’t get Superman, just me. –John R. Erikson
