Dave and Kathy

I think the different amount of attribute I have gotten from my parents have come at the right blend. That I prefer to think of personality traits that they and I share are mostly the good ones and I am somewhat wary to sort as coming from them. But the curiosity, sense of humor, reserved focus, and these eyes people always comment to me on, those are from my father. I heard some people talking about Derry in Ireland the other night and I made the comment "I wonder if lactose intolerant people live in Derry" there was a rolling of the eyes and I made a smallish smirk, feeling self satisfyingly clever. Thats the kind of humor I get from my dad the puns, and the irony. I get his patience of the many times I would find him waiting to pick me up from a friends house, school function or practice sitting in the car the dome light on as he pressed a book flat on the steering wheel and flipped a page. I get his unexpected exuberance, like when as a child he would bust out into some goofy antics, or when asking to make me a peanut butter sandwich he would wiggle his fingers at me and say "poof your a peanut butter sandwich". Or as a basketball coach making some unexplainable bizarre face while joining in a scrimmage.

From my mom it's the talking, the loudness and in your face intensity I tend to feel when "three sheets to the wind", something I must have picked up from the dozen or so years of hearing her laugh outrageously on the phone while I pittered about the house, the fashion sense of not giving a hoot in hell what other people think as long as you like it. Having the stubbornness and bravery to say what you mean and stand up for what you think. oh and the eating with you mouth open, I kind of love it even if it is considered rude, the noise of eating is somewhat fascinating to me. There's more I'm sure, but this is all I can manage at the moment. there is no reason for it all, just reflection and my mirrors all fogged up like a hot shower right now.

Hills totally when out of fashion awhile ago, I realized my parents tore one down in our back yard when I was 6 years old or so, I hope we sold the dirt rather then paying to have that done, even though it did make the lawn mowing easier and the backyard games more fun. You can still see the remnants of it's base where for a summer we created a bike and foot dirt path for races against a stopwatch.

Conan O'Brien mentioned this site on his show, it didn't exist, but there is a law that if you saw a website on TV without saying it's fake or some sort of rule, then you have to buy that domain. So the people from his show made it and are taking ideas of what to do with it.
