37 random facts

CitizenConnelly — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 15:52:56 +0000

37 random facts, because everyone’s just doing 25

I played classical guitar for years…learning Bach, Mozert, Beethoven…part of me wishes I still had a guitar, the other part of me remembers hating it growing up
Growing up I was in a gymnastic class
I was a telemarketer for 9 months selling credit cards, I was good…I got promoted to lead telesales and eventually leave entirely.
I’ve never ridden in a taxi
I was the passenger in an ambulance when I was in 3rd grade though, the victim in a car-to-bike accident
I have passionate spurts where I dive into things, projects, hobbies that last only a short while before I dive into something else
I’ve never been as far south, or west as West Virginia
Still to this day, I have to actually think which direction left and right is
I’ve taken 1 sick day in 6 years
I absolutely love great instrumental music, especially from the violin and piano
I have an extremely visual memory and at the same time, a less-than-stellar audible one….which means I won’t remember a thing you said but I’ll remember the look on your face when you said it.
First summer out of High School I double-interned. One at my dad’s office, the other for an IT company…while telemarketing in the evenings and working at Capriottis on the weekend. I had 14-hour days and no life for that summer.
I captain kickball and dodgeball teams and love it
I wake up before 9, even on the weekends
I hate mainstream and bandwagon things/tv shows. So you’ll never see me watching Lost, Heroes or 24.
I love the rain…I’ll purposely plan to do things outside because I know it’ll rain…like biking, running, etc.
Lacrosse is my favorite sport and if I could ever find the time, I’d love to help coach it.
I’m a total closet romantic
I like the idea of having books, more than the notion of actually reading them…I trust I’ll read them all at some point, at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
For someone as social and friendly as I am, I value my alone time above so many things.
I see everything, every detail..I look detail…but big crowds can drive me crazy because I find myself constantly looking around, checking everyone and everything out. Its so much easier to see everything when there isn’t as much there.
I am currently teaching myself how to juggle…if, for no other reason, than to say I can and impress people at parties.
Growing up, I always wanted to have glasses..and now that my eyes are shot from coding on the computer..I have my childhood wish.
I never, ever, wear socks when I’m home.
I sliced off a quarter of my right thumb in a deli incident…it grew back, but not all the way.
I am tooo cool for 25 random things and because I don’t like mainstream/bandwagon/everyone’s-doing-it-sort-of-thing mine has to be at least somewhat different.
I’m Irish, German and French-Canadian…but you’ll hear more about how I’m French-Canadian because I think Canada rocks and I want to visit there so bad.
I’m 6’3 and can’t play basketball if my life depended on it
I cut my own hair and have for the past year…$20 for a cleaver over, what would have been 4 or 5 trips to the barbershop…it was a good investment.
I can’t operate in complete silence; my mp3 player is my most valuable office tool. If only I could expense an upgrade…
I was born a curly blonde…and if I spend enough time in the sun it goes back to that…not all the way and not curly, but much much lighter.
For the first time in a long time..I have real friends and it rocks, despite my tendency to not always keep up with them.
I’m competitive until I honestly believe I’m going to loose…then it turns into “just a game”.
I love writing but I hate reading…unless its people’s personal blogs, they, like people, fascinate me.
I was homeschooled for 4 years and though I was out of it socially, my grades and future success was based off of the development I had in those years.
I love taking photos; its the ultimate chance-hobby, by chance you’ll see something incredible…its why I always have my d-cam with me.
I have no self control when it comes to baked goods and/or delicious food. I will mow down a Pizza Hut buffet for lunch, then have a veggie burger for dinner.

You can’t make this stuff up

New friend request

CitizenConnelly — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:52:12 +0000

New friend request!

Seriously? Yes, please be my friend so I can and maybe, just maybe we can share kidnapping stories over a virtual coffee or tea you can “give” your friends online. Ya know…I think this is the start of something beautiful between us.

so true

I haven’t blogged much…lately

CitizenConnelly — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:36:34 +0000

I just came to the conclusion, in the last minute that I haven’t blogged very much lately. Nothing incredibly poetic coming forth in my mind, no great feats of art or personal reflection, I’ve just been content with being.

I’ve been so busy lately with various things in life I suppose…

Working more heavily with Our Brother’s Keeper Foundation, creating a site for them using Silverstripe
Made a few trips to Eastern bringing Jen almost home, taking her back
Considering a new design, color scheme for my current site, or perhaps just scrapping it entirely
Very busy with various Holiday projects for work…go to DelawareOnline in Decemeber and you’ll see them
Apparently I have harems
Taking Dad out to dinner this week for Steak and Beer…that should be a good time with him, apparently I only have about 5 more weeks until his contract in Jersey ends
I should probably shoot a update video soon, or just a video in general…I’ve come to the conclusion I don’t have enough video on this site
delawareonline.tv splash is up!
I wish more of my friends blogged; that may be nice

Betty White for WonderWoman!

Sometimes good mornings

CitizenConnelly — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:33:20 +0000

I really hate the unpredictability of mornings, despite the fact that I do consider myself a morning person.

Some mornings I’m good, ready for work in all of its joy.

Other days, I’m resembling a sloth, likely falling into my couch on the way to the coffee machine. If I manage to get up from this abyss of comfort I’ll completely miss the coffee machine in lieu of concentrating on opening and toasting that pack of pop tarts.

Sometimes the coffee has no effect and I drive into work while in this dreamscape state (which makes me wonder and thankful all at once).

Regardless of how much sleep I’ve managed to “achieve” its random, unpredictable, and without reason.

At least I don’t have a scrict schedule.

so this is life – poetics

I think this is one of my better writings from my college days.

Busy, temperamental, depressing, chaotic,
so sadness mixed with gladness,
i’ve become the maddest.

Thus is the mind of I, a confusing, perplexed, hodgepodge amalgamate group of moiety; medietas thoughts, ideas, hopes, dreams, aspirations,
medietas reflections, personas, patterns, filters, blocks, buttons, triggers, intellectual stimuli

Everyday another chess game i play,
everyday another battle that i face,
everyday another this another that,
everyday its a shame it may end someday.

Don’t take this to heart,
it was never meant for you to be read,
instead,
oh instead
these are the thoughts in my head.

This was fun,
it was great,
random things,
come to mean,
nothing i can escape.
