25 Things

Katie tagged me on Facebook, and as a result I had to compile a list of 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about me.  Since any previous attempts at a proper blog entry have utterly failed, I thought I'd post the list here for your perusal:

1. I'm a very negative person, in spite of impressions that might convey otherwise.
2. I recently stopped taking sugar in my tea, and am quite proud of the fact.
3. There is a map of Middle-earth hanging in the bedroom my sister and I share.
4. My tastes in music are constantly changing.
5. I don't have favorite bands or genres, just songs.
6. I don't consider myself a good writer. Not that I don't like my actual work; I just haven't figured out the technique of writing yet.
7. I can claim to have taught someone to read: my now eight year-old sister, Bonnie.
8. The past year (2008) was the first year I had a real relationship with God.
9. I love military people and really miss being an active-duty military brat.
10. I've owned many different kinds of pets over the years, including: ferrets, fish, gerbils, ants, and rats.
11. When I first saw the LotR movies at the age of 13, I thought movie-Arwen was super cool. Now, I just think she's a Mary-Sue.
12. I'm a web geek who knows HTML, CSS, and a bit of PHP.
13. I went through a 'goth' phase a couple of years ago, which I love to forget.
14. Chivalry is alive. I know people who are living proof.
15. Math is the bane of my existence, and it will be a miracle if I can catch up by the time I take the SAT in April.
16. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, pre- or post-college.
17. I celebrated my 16th birthday at camp. It was awesome, except for the part when we went whitewater rafting and I fell out of the raft.
18. I personally blame the Disney channel for many of the problems with our younger generation.
19. Only two people have ever called me 'Chris'.
20. I have an abnormal fear of the telephone. However, it's a work-in-progress.
21. Some countries I would like to visit someday include: Norway, Iceland, Italy, and New Zealand.
22. I plan on applying to work at the library this winter or spring.
23. I don't expect to get my driver's license until I'm at least 17.
24. I love cold weather.  During the summer, I'm rarely inspired at all...at least, not to write.
25. When I was little, a kettle of boiling water was accidentally poured onto my head. That must explain my caution-bordering-on-paranoia when it comes to fire and all things hot.

I don't choose to tag anyone, though anyone may steal if the mood strikes.
