100 Things About Me : Final
91. I have filled in as a substitute teacher at both the high school and elementary school level… I prefer High school.
92. I have been to Niagara Falls
93. One of my dreams in life, though totally unrealistic, is to own/fly a blimp
94. One of my biggest flaws is that I sometimes give up on things too easy if I’m not good at them right away.
95. When I was in elementary school, I raised and showed rabbits at contest.
96. I know how to drive/have driven a variety of tractors in my life… John Deere, Minneapolis Moline, International, Alice Chambers, Ford … I believe those are the only brands I have driven. There is an old Oliver at the farm but I don’t think I ever drove it when it was running.
97. I’ve won a Bar-B-Que cooking contest
98. When it comes to Christmas tree’s I follow the strict rules of… 1. They shouldn’t be up before the day after Thanksgiving, and 2. It’s not a good Christmas Tree unless it is taller than myself.
99. I have been to Mammoth Cave, and I really like cave’s even though I’m a larger guy being in them doesn’t bother me. It’s amazing how big some of those caverns are. I think it would be cool to have been around when people used to adventure down into Mammoth cave with torches and picnic for lunch in a random passage way.
100. The first CD I ever owned was an Alan Jackson Greatest hits CD

100 Things About Me : Part 6
Part 6: only one more to go and I'll have this all wrapped up....
-----------------
76. I was in 4-H for the full 10 years, and completed over 100 projects over that course of time.
77. I was even 4-H King in 2004
78. I hate it when people my age talk about how it sucks being “grown up”, its true… but unless you have a kid it seems kind of silly of us complaining about being an adult when we are still in our 20’s.
79. My favorite cartoon currently on TV – Phenis and Ferb, but South Park is in the running as well.
80. Speaking of cartoons, I’ve found its best to leave nostalgia alone when it comes to going back and watching cartoons of my childhood. When I go back and try watching them… not quite as good… though when I have a kid I’ll still probably make him watch some classics like DarkWing Duck.
81. The Office is my favorite regular TV show currently running, though I have tried to watch the British version and totally do not get it.
82. I like musicals
83. I also like watching live play productions, even if they aren’t that good and put together by a high school drama department. But I don’t get that many opportunities to see them because it’s hard to find people to go with.
84. I have been in a few plays…. In 6th grade I was “Surfing Santa” also while in high school I played Glenn Cooper in “Rumors” (great play), as well as several roles in a series of One Act shorts. That said I am not a good actor at all. But seriously, highly recommend “Rumors” to anyone who wants to see a good stage play.
85. I have a Zune and I like it better than the Ipod, that said I think it’s fairly certain that the Ipod never lost market share to the Zune.
86. Tabasco sauce is my favorite condiment… seriously no debate here.
87. http://www.goblinscomic.com is my favorite webcomic
88. The Hippopotamus is my favorite animal
89. In fact I have a plastic hippopotamus named Howie that I like to take pictures of whenever I go to interesting places. There is a whole blog series on this, July 2009 but I don’t have it transferred over here quite yet. (Check back in a month or so, it’s a slow process)
90. I never make my bed, unless in a super rare occasion I’d be trying to impress someone maybe I would. But honestly if my sheets and mattress pad are actually still on all four corners I’m doing good.

100 things about me : Part 5
61. Apparently a lot of my childhood stories have depressing endings, or so I’ve been told. However, I feel I had a really good childhood.
62. I’m not a fan of pitch-in dinners, just never really enjoy they way those always work out.
63. I have a cat named Kong
64. I also have two dogs, Pepper and Sparky
65. I think it would be fun to be in a riot sometime
66. I’m not a touchy person really, like I’m not going to hug you randomly. But being touched doesn’t really like me. Like with the above item if I’m surrounded by people in a crowd being bumped into / rubbed against doesn’t upset me.
67. I always say my favorite color is clear, but really it’s mainly because my favorite color changes depending on how I feel so clear is good. If forced to pick a normal color I’d go with green or yellow.
68. Same thing goes with numbers, I don’t have a favorite number.. though I prefer prime numbers over others I guess.
69. My first “real” job was working at a factory making trunk door latches for Honda Civics.
70. I also have worked at several hotels – both IHG and Hilton brands
71. I have ridden on a train before
72. I have also been on several planes
73. However the biggest boat I have ever been on was just a ferry across a lake, at Disney World, it was big but I don’t know if I would count it as a real boating experience.
74. I have been to Canada once, but that was the only time I was out of the United States.
75. When I was in high school my friends and I had what you could call a club of sorts known as the “Trailer Society” since we hung out in an old trailer home… we even had a constitution.. yeah we weren’t the cool kids.

100 things about me : Part 4
46. I think Spirals’ make the best Mac’n’Cheese… shells are the worst, also I’m a fan of kraft… I don’t really care for Velveeta .
47. I used to not like coffee, until my Sr. year at Purdue, when I went through a patch of not being able to sleep through the night… so I started drinking coffee at lunch and dinner to keep me going.
48. When Walmart changed the labeling on their great value brand canned vegetables… it really bothered me, I liked their bright colorful labels. The bland white labels they currently use bore and disappoint me.
49. I have a little sister named Casey, she is 23.
50. My Dad farms for a living, so I grew up on a farm
51. He doesn’t have any livestock now, but we had pigs until I was in fifth grade. He got out during the
51. My mom is a librarian at an elementary and high school
52. I’ve always been amazed they have kept the same jobs for so long, while I am working at my 3rd different company (4th different location) in just the 2 years I’ve been out of college.
53. I’ve been told that a lot of my stories from my childhood are depressing, but I think I had a good childhood.
54. When I was little and would play basketball by myself, I had invented a whole team of imaginary players to play with.
55. I was also lucky enough to have an indoor basketball court up in the haymow, even if it was blocked by bales of hay like half the time.
56. When I Casey and I were little our Dad played this game with us called Dogs and Rabbits, that involved running around the house trying not to be tagged with a ball. It was a pretty fun game.
57. We also played this game involving rope bridges and trying to knock each other off of the rope bridge.
58. When Casey and I played games together as kids we had to make compromises to fit both our styles… basically this meant making her “girl” toys fight in more “boy” like scenarios…. Such as littlest petshop pirates.
59. I don’t know how to snap my fingers, I never could make that work.
60. I’ve been told that some of the things I do make me seem like a serial killer… things in question involve having lived in an apartment for a year with a stool, a lawn chair and a bed as my only furniture, and having surgical mask and gloves in the trunk of my car…. I’m not a serial killer though….

50 things about Emily
The 2nd and last part of my challenge (unless someone else is able to get me to do this for them) to post things about other people I know. Unlike the 100 things I did about her sister Megan I only agreed to do 50 things about Emily as I don't know her as well, and to be honest while filling this out I came to realize I know a lot more about things she doesn't like than about things that she does enjoy and identify with. This realization was kind of disappointing to me as it seemed like I was focusing on things she saw as negative over positive things. So Emily... you need to tell me more about the positive things in your life in the future.
50 things about Emily
1. Her name is Emily
2. By the time I post this she will be 17 years old
3. We had a birthday party for her and Megan at the hotel I worked at in Indianapolis last year.
4. She has 3 sisters and 0 brothers
5. Her oldest sister is named Amanda
6. Her 2nd oldest sister is named Megan
7. Her 3rd oldest sister is Morgan
8. She is on the record as saying one of her life goals is to make it on an episode of Cops
9. She doesn’t have her drivers license yet
10. She has a confederate flag belt buckle, though she claims to hate it.
11. She has thought about being a professional trucker when she grows up
12. She doesn’t know how to whistle yet
13. She is more attracted to African-American men than any other race
14. She likes the color purple
15. If she has a cell phone… she will text like crazy, probably because she is a teenage girl
16. She is a Jr. at school
17. Her bus drivers name is Mark
18. She thinks she could beat me at a wilderness survival challenge
19. She has a game called “Dream Date” and I think she cheated to beat me at it ;)
20. Her nickname is “Jane Austen”
21. However, she has never read any of Jane Austen’s novels.
22. Sometimes she is melodramatic

100 things about Megan
So one of my best friends heard about my 100 things about me blog, and as she has done some blog series herself, I attempted to get her to join in. Well, simply put she refused, and I ended up being challenged to come up with 100 things about her to post. I accepted said challenge and this is the result: 100 things about Megan. I even finished this before I completely finished the 100 things about myself (still have like 30 to go, but I’m still breaking it up into 6-7 post throughout the month), and it wasn’t too hard…. Just tough finding a balance on what I wanted to post as I wanted to give a variety and not just bland facts about her, I guess to give you a bigger picture so to speak. Also I was told not to put anything too embarrassing… Now I need to move on to 50 things about her sister Emily, only 50 though because honestly I know much less about her, thus her 50 things will probably be a lot more basic. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Megan.

8. Of her sisters she is the closest with Emily
9. Her first job was working at a Nursing Home
10. This is one of the reasons she loves and feels close to elderly people, even if one of her stories involving working at a nursing home is that an old man once peed on her shoe.
11. Also, she has bathed old people… I find this strange/gross
12. She once adopted an elderly woman, who was going to be moving into a nursing home, cat named Gus.
13. Megan’s first car was a teal Ford Probe
14. She still has the Probe even though it isn’t currently running, she also keeps insurance on it because she believes if she takes the insurance off it will be a sign of her giving in to the idea she will never drive it again.
15. Currently she drives a black Chrysler 300.
16. Megan has been to a couple colleges, she began her college career at Franklin where she commuted every day from her home.

21. She is now at Grad School at IU
22. She believes in ghost and spirits, and says one of the houses she lived in while in Evansville was haunted by an evil spirit.
23. She is atheist so I wonder if she thinks ghost are trapped souls, or imprinted memories? The whole trapped spirit idea is tough to go with unless you are open to the idea of a higher power, at least I think. edited: she claims to be agnostic
24. She is a Vegetarian
25. Even though she is a vegetarian she doesn’t like very many vegetables and mainly survives on grains, with cheese and beans thrown in their as well.

46. Interestingly enough we can both agree to be friends despite totally different political views, actually we have pretty varying views on most things, so its cool that we can still get along… by just understanding we will never change each other’s mind, and just listen to what we say when we go on a long rant about something we disagree on completely.

100 things - Part 3
31. I did enjoy being a part of the choir for the Madrigal dinner – play/musical the Choir always put on in the winter though.
32. While I’m not a good singer… I love to sing while I’m in the car, and I’ll sing to whatever is on the radio, even if I don’t like the song.
33. If you are riding in the car with me and I’m not singing along, and their isn’t a discussion going on, I’m making a conscious effort not be singing… probably because I don’t want to embarrass myself.
34. My favorite song of all time is “Hotel California” by the Eagles
35. I think this is from the good memories I have from the Sr. year of High School cruising around in my car with the windows down afterschool almost every night with Steve and Michael, as well as Bruce when he wasn’t working.
36. My first car was a 1986 Monte Carlo SS with T-Tops
37. My first car wreck was on my 13th birthday… I totaled my Dad’s truck, by sideswiping a limestone post in my Grandpa’s driveway.
38. I have played a variety of nerd games in my life… D&D, Magic the Gathering, Warhammer 40k but I enjoyed them all.
39. One summer my group of friends got into paintball and that was fun, but we have never been able to make it work with everyone since that summer (2006)
40. Back to nerd games… I was on the Academic teams at my high school… we went to the State Finals twice for Social Studies.
41. I always loved basketball, but I never made a team after 6th grade (when everyone made the team).
42. So I’ve had to settle for just watching it… I’m a huge Purdue University Basketball fan.
43. Purdue’s basketball team was my #1 reason for choosing them as my college choice, even though they ended up being horrible my first two years there, average my Jr. year and good my Sr. year… which unfortunately happened to be the year they switched from Seniority seating in the student block (Paint Crew) to first come first serve.
44. The longest I waited in line for good seats at a Purdue game, over 8 hrs… with snow on the ground, in January…
45. My other sports teams are the Colts for NFL, the Pacers in the NBA while I don’t really follow any team in the NHL or MLB… But I’m a firm believer you can only have one team to be a fan of.

100 things about me : Part 2
16. I dislike Daylights savings time… so much that I won’t vote for anyone who supported Indiana switching back onto it. I preferred it when Indiana had its own time.
17. I have never broken a bone in my body
18. I still have my Wisdom teeth… but I only have three of them
19. I wear a size 15 shoe in most brands… though 16’s in some like Nike.
20. I HATE shoe shopping, so much that I buy my shoes online now, I think this is because since I always had big feet I felt embarrassed when my parents would ask them what they had in my size instead of letting me pick out what I wanted.
21. Also I have a vow to never buy another pair of new balance shoes, not because they are bad shoes… it’s just that they carry all the way up to size 16 in stock all the time and once my parents found that out they always took me there for new shoes.
22. As for keeping vows.. I’m pretty good at it due to my stubbornness… I once went 2 years without playing on the same team during a video game with one of my friends due to a disagreement that came up while playing a game of Conker’s Bad Fur Day… Not buying a pair of New Balance shoes will be much easier to keep than that one was.
23. When playing video games I’ve been somewhat of a Nintendo loyalist; NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii I have all owned.
24. Though lately I’ve been won over by Microsoft – Xbox and Xbox360, and the only handheld I’ve owned was a Sega GameGear.
25. I think my favorite video game of all time is a “Zelda” title – Ocarina of Time, though the Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil for the GameCube are up there in the ranking as well.
26. EarthBound a game for SNES is the game I have always wanted to play but never got around too playing.
27. I want to learn how to play the Harmonica… I have one but am not very good at it, and never have put the effort into learning how to play properly/well.
28. I was however in the 5th and 6th grade band as a percussionist… but I wasn’t very good at that either, and like before never really put in the effort… though really I had no desire to ever be in the high school band so I dropped out when I got to Jr. High (7th grade).
29. As you may have noticed from the last two entries, and what I’m sure will pop up again later, I’m not very good at sticking with things that I’m not at least somewhat competent at from early on…
30. I was in the high school choir though, the top one actually, but this was more due to the fact I was a male and not because I was a good singer… in fact my 7th grade year I got an award for being the only guy in choir. I would have quit but didn’t have the heart to tell them no after every other guy had already quit.
17. I have never broken a bone in my body
18. I still have my Wisdom teeth… but I only have three of them
19. I wear a size 15 shoe in most brands… though 16’s in some like Nike.
20. I HATE shoe shopping, so much that I buy my shoes online now, I think this is because since I always had big feet I felt embarrassed when my parents would ask them what they had in my size instead of letting me pick out what I wanted.
21. Also I have a vow to never buy another pair of new balance shoes, not because they are bad shoes… it’s just that they carry all the way up to size 16 in stock all the time and once my parents found that out they always took me there for new shoes.

100 Things About Me - Part 1
So I saw this on several other blogs and decided I'd make it into a mini-series for this month. Its pretty simple.. I'll post 100 things about myself, they can be anything as long as they are true. I haven't planned this one out in anyway yet, so I'm pretty much just going to wing it. I figure this will end up being a 5-10 post series which will have no set on time frame other than I plan on being done by the end of the month, or atleast before Christmas at the very latest. So without further ado....
1. My name is Dustin
2. I'm 6 foot 3 inches tall, and nope I haven't grown recently... I hit this height when I was a freshman in highschool and everyone else then started to catch up with me.
3. I'm 25 years old, which is a quarter-century.... I think it sounds cooler that way.
4. I have brown eyes
5. I have black hair
6. I wear glasses all the time because I'm pretty much blind without them.... I have to squint to see the big "E"
7. I tried contacts for about 2 weeks in 8th grade, but I was horribly slow at putting them in and pretty much gave up. Also I think I look better with glasses than without.
8. Another reason I gave up trying on wearing contacts is that my sister was trying them at the same time and was much better at putting them on.
9. I weigh 208 lbs, though I have weighed a lot more and a lot less in the last 2 years.
10. Infact I weighed 298 lbs in March of 2007 and then went on a hardcore weightloss mission that I pretty much made up / did on my own to lose weight.... though I went a little to far and ended up weighing as little as 153 lbs in January of 2009.
11. Speaking of going to far, I ended up gaining way to much of it back when I got sort of bummed out and stressed with my job/life in the fall of 2009 and I ended up having to lose weight again in the summer of 2010 to get back down to 2010
12. Last summer I did a lot of walking, I got in the routine of walking to Adams firedepartment, buying a pop, and then walking back... it was about 9 miles round trip.
13. Also last summer I hiked over a mountain with my Dad, it was Mount LeConte in the App. Mountains from Smokemont, North Carolina to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It was a great trip that had us walking for 18 hrs to cover 25 miles, I'll always have good memories of it, even if it pretty much kicked our butts.
14. One of my favorite family vacations involved going to the Crater Diamond Mine in Arkansas, we also stopped at Graceland, James K. Polk Museum, and the Gateway arch in St. Louis. Though we did not find a diamond at the mine.
15. As for a fun trip with friends... hands down Spring Break 2004 with Ferrell and Steve when we stayed in a cabin at Brown County Indiana for 3 days. It was a great time just hanging out with those guys in this huge cabin we had rented.
