I Like Silly Acronyms
sub titles are hard to come up with
Published on November 9, 2004 By Danny Bassette In Misc
I was born on March first, 1978. I'm told it was a snowy day, but I don't recall either way. er, that make me 26, not 27 like I've been thinking all year. Which shows that math is not my strong point.
Family: I have a mother and father, Pam and Fred. A slightly younger sister, Adele, and two much younger brothers, Josh and Noah. Most of my extended family (cousins, grandparents, etc.) live in New Jersey. Supposable, one of my ancestors was on the Mayflower.
Location: I live in Honeoye Falls, NY, which I doubt any of you have heard of. It's a small town about 15 minutes south of Rochester, which you might have heard of. I've lived her since I was two, before that I lived in Fairport, NY.
Education: I graduated from HFL high school in '96. Then I went to RIT for about a year, then MCC for about two, no diploma. I got a MCSE in 2000.
Employment: Worked at a pizza shop for four years, advanced to part owner before leaving. Various temp work (pottery delivers, phone book makers, electric company). About a year at a cable modem technical support help desk. Currently unemployed.
Marital: Officially, single. In my heart, in love and would marry her in an instant. But, well long story short, we arn't talking to each other.
Religion: Christian, hesitantly. I have my beliefs I would consider christian, but don't want to be associated with the larger mess that is the church.
Politics: Again, I have my political opinions but don't want to be associated with any party.
Criminal: Shoplifted, but as the saying goes, when i was young and foolish i was young and foolish
Food: Cheese is great, as is cabbage and spinach. I hate tomatoes, pinapples, and mustard. No allergies that I'm aware of. I make a good pizza, and I've been told great cookies.
Medical: I am in generally good physical health, or at least think so. I could stand to lose a little weight, or exercise more, but who couldn't. Due to some unfortunate events I have very little trust for doctors at this point in my life.
Hobbies: Sleeping, playing computer games, reading comic books, attempting to write computer games (and failing), watching anime, walking in circles, pool (billards?), wandering inside my own head.
Goals: Get married and spend the rest of my life with the woman I love, supporting her in whatever she wants while working to make myself a better person. Or failing that, sitting in a corner and waiting for death to claim me.


Somewhat inspired by manopeace's what are you article, but also that i'm newish and havn't told anyone here most of this information.

Cool stuff.

>> Religion: Christian, hesitantly. I have my beliefs I would consider christian, but don't want to be associated with the larger mess that is the church.
A little like me there.

I've also shoplifted, I was nine and silly. It was a sticker I took. I was caught by the security guard, but he let me off. Very embaressing. Needless to say, my parents were really upset...

Hope you get your goal too, Danny.

Texas Wahine: I can only claim some responsibility for the idea, manopeace helped alot with his thread, weither he knows it or not
Manopeace: To the best of my knowledge I have no jewish in my ancestry, but then again, I don't know that I don't either. And thanks
Sally jacobs and shadesofgrey and Floozie: On the love thing, a little more background: It's been almost 4(four) years since we have had a meaningful conversation. Doesn't mean I've stopped loving her, just means it's very one sided. Realistically, my head knows that she will never talk to me again. Sure, our paths will cross from time to time as the years go by, but nothing will happen. But my heart, it does care about my head, or much of anything else, I love her and hope annew each day. Doesn't mean I've given up, with life comes hope. Even after four years... But I don't want to just write about her in my blogs. While she is the most important person in my life (odd as it is), she is not the only thing in my life.
Ravenblack: I think I was 13 at the time (not entirely sure), and it was a bit more then a sticker, and I was caught, and went to court, and did community service for months afterwards. Community service was wierd, maybe I should write about it sometime. Did I learn my lesson? Maybe, maybe not, but I havn't gone shoplifting since

Teegstar: Sneaky you, posted while I was typing my reply As time goes by I'm sure I'll talk more about both her and I.
Trudygolightly: Too many comments, can't keep up... I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel any resentment or bitterness, but love comes first. And your welcome

Well, so this is Danny. Thanks for commenting on my blog. We have in common our age, mathematical abilities, religion and political views (though I admit I voted for Badnarik). I also love cheese--nothing like a brie, basil, and tomato baguette (yes, tomatoes are food from my regional gods (okay, my parents grow really good ones and give them away)).

As for medical, well, my dad's a doctor and having worked for him, I can say he's a great one, so I hope you (a) never have to visit any, and ( if you do, you meet one like him.

Cheers.
