The Persians make the most beautiful rugs in the world -- not that I play favorites. But on each rug, no matter how intricate and exquisite, the artist makes sure there's some small defect. It's called a Persian Flaw. It's a recognition that perfection exists only in me, an acceptance that life can never really be lived exactly the way you expect. ~ God (from Joan of Arcadia)
25 Things About Kevin
1) I don't like cooked onions. Raw onions... great. Cooked onions... blech.
2) I'm shy. Really, I am. And the peanut gallery can just shut up... But seriously - this tendency makes me seem snobbish at times even though I'm not.
3) I don't consider third world countries to be "vacation" destinations.
4) I can't drive a stick shift.
5) I'm a Republican.
6) I love algebra but hate geometry.
7) My mother died when I was 3.
8) I still use the words "whom" and "whomever" when speaking and writing, and I get aggravated when others do not.
9) In fourth grade I was nominated to represent my class on the student council but I was so shy and insecure I wouldn't do it. I still regret that decision.
10) I hate snakes, but once - while holding one - I threatened to throw it at someone.
11) There are a few friends I have not seen in years that if we met today we could pick up in mid conversation as if no time has passed.
12) I never really knew my father. He reached out to me shortly before he died but I chose to ignore him. I don't regret that.
13) There have been two people in my life that I have truly been in love with.
15) In Mrs. Leighton's third grade class, Desi G. used to always borrow my new crayons and without fail break at least one.
16) I like bad SciFi movies. Really, really bad ones. Like Lorenzo Lamas fighting velociraptors bad.
17) I can't ice skate or roller blade. Weak ankles.
18) I always remember my dreams after I wake up, and they're always in full color.
19) I'm clumsy. (That's also a big factor in #17)
20) I was never a Dallas or Dynasty person. I was all Falcon Crest, baby!
21) My favorite color is green.
22) I worked in the hotel and tradeshow biz for eight years and as a result I've seen Las Vegas more than any person should. As a side note, you might think the gay bars there would be hoppin' - but in reality they are bleak and sad.
23) My favorite season is autumn. Second favorite is winter. Spring is okay. Summer sucks.
24) I love vodka. Passionately.
25) I will not swim in anything other than a crystal clear swimming pool. The ocean has sharks and ponds and rivers have snakes and alligators. I regard swimming in them as akin to walking unarmed across the Serengeti. (As for the Serengeti, see #3)
-Obligatory 26th Thing-
26) The first person I came out to in College ended up being totally unable to deal with it and our friendship ended. I still miss him.

Kevin--
EXQUISITE choice. I've always thought he was unbelievably handsome....
Mmm. Lovely Ioan. Great choice,guys, I only had one problem with these photos. He's wearing clothes. ;]
His cuteness is inversely proportional to the curliness of his hair.
Great choice Kevin.
Wow! What's that, like two out of the last five that Patrick has liked? I'm on a roll!
I must be having a positive impact on you.
