Come on trace the globe and shake your pants

Five (and change) more random things you may not know about me:

1) I did not know my grandfather's legal first name until this week. It is Javier (could be Xavier) and he went by an Americanized nickname of Harvey his entire life. My family knew this, but it was just never something to bring up. I think I only found out because I was asking something about his middle name. Regardless, having a grandfather named Javier is much cooler than Harvey.

2) I have a genetic disorder called Gilbert's syndrome/disease. It helped cause me to be jaundiced in high school. If I forget to inform a new doctor of this and they run blood tests they tend to flip out until they are informed. They seem to think I have hepatitis. I don't.

3) The longest I have gone without sleep is 37 hours, while the longest I have slept without budging is just over 17 hours. The longest I have slept without being awake more than a minute at any given time is between 21 and 22 hours.

4) I have never killed any organism other than some insects and spiders. I do my best not to do such things. I have killed bacteria as well, that is just a given. I have never fished. I have never hunted. I have never even seen a gun. I am not opposed to fishing or hunting, provided you use what you kill. I am opposed to killing spiders because they eliminate insects in your home. I kill most insects in my home because I want not an infestation, but try to leave them alone in nature.

5) I have spent more than one month continuously in 9 different cities.

3. lived in Avon, CT
4. lived in Louisville, KY
5. lived in Raleigh, NC
6. 5 weeks in Durban, South Africa

9. 5 weeks in Lake Oswego, OR

The longest I have spent continuously at any given place is 8 years in home 2 in Louisville. I now get fidgety if I spend too much time in one city. This summer I am heading out to see the world.

Including family members as room/housemates, I have lived with 14 different people. I have only physically shared a room with one person in my life. I don't know how they survived. I am usually the messiest person in my group, but that was not the case once. It was horrible. It included killing a lot of those insects I mentioned earlier.
