The 50 Things of Me.

The 50 Things of Me.

Here are the rules - post this list on your profile (in Notes) replacing my answers with yours.

Tag 25 people to do the same thing.

If I tagged YOU, it's because I want to know more about YOU!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
My grandpa on my mom’s side (Bradley) and my dad’s middle name is Alan. Incidentally, my name was supposed to be Alan. There’s this thing that goes back 5 generations where the father gives the son his middle name. So, it has went… Jonathan Theodore, Theodore Ernest, Ernest Bruce, Bruce Alan… and I was supposed to be Alan something. But, my parents did it backward. I’ve thought about having it changed, but I don’t really like the name Alan as a first name.

2. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Oh, I don’t dislike it. It could be neater. It is neater if I slow down.

3. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
My grandma’s funeral in January. Kind of teared up the other evening during my fifth viewing of “Apollo 13,” but I wouldn’t consider it a full-blown cry.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Ham

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
No kids. Might be an uncle soon though!

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
I think so. I’m pretty middle-of-the-road. I don’t think I, as another person, would be turned off to be my friend.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
More often than I probably should.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yup, still in there.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Maybe from the back of a pickup truck onto the ground below. Maybe.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
I don’t eat much cereal, but when I do it’s Raisin Bran or Cheerio’s. I used to love Apple Jacks, but haven’t eaten them in a long while.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
No, I’m more of a slip-on, slip-off kind of guy.

12. DO YOU STILL TALK TO YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART?
I didn’t really have one.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?

Probably what they are wearing.

15. RED OR PINK
Definitely red; don’t care for the color pink.

I've added a special set over at Flickr where I'll be adding photos of our many, many Broken Bow / Beaver's Bend trips. When we were younger, it seemed like we went every year (sometimes twice). There's some on there from the early 80's now and I'll add others later on.

Check the set out over at Flickr-ville: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brad_holt/sets/72157621958292602/
