I Have...

• Seen The Who and Rush in concert
• Gotten alcohol poisoning
• Swam in the ocean
• Seen the northern lights
• Performed music in front of large crowds
• Lived in California, Michigan, and Ohio
• Lost my virginity on a bike path
• Overdosed on amphetamines numerous times
• Touched, fed, and interacted with a baby bear
• Admitted myself to a psych ward for depression
• Been up inside of a lighthouse several times
• Had 12 piercings (only 2 remain)
• Gotten my tonsils out as well as all of my wisdom teeth
• Seen each of the three Lord of the Rings movies all the way through at least 20-25 times (extended versions, too. only way to go)
• Committed to hand-written journals ever since I was in the 5th grade
• Created my own secret written language
• Had an obsession with death
• Intentionally self-harmed - partially to force my brain's focus away from mental demons in action, partially to use physical pain and it's consequential adrenaline rush as a tool to shock myself back into a state of reality / or back into a state of just feeling human again, and partially because of a simple life-long fascination with gore.
• Died in a dream (once, via bomb explosion)
• Effortlessly paid lump sums of money to random strangers in order to cut them in long lines (such as at a densely packed event or something of that nature). I can't wait in lines. Seriously.
• Successfully taught myself more through recent years of intense self-education than school itself has ever taught me in prior years. My newly-evolved curiosity and utter fascination towards any and all subjects under the sun has given me a magnificent blessing of having "education" and "recreation" become one.
• Reclaimed the oh-so-valuable childlike ability to marvel at even the simplest of every day things. Maintaining a sense of awe towards the universe's astronomical spectrum conjoining and dividing what is the most simple and what is the most complex is a solution to any who wish to purge their days of dullness and unfulfillment.
