Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

I'm on the left, with my buddy Nathan from New Zealand.

1. I've been on more flights in the past 8 months than I have in my entire life. Flying used to be a very rare occasion, now it feels like routine.

2. I've also hit more states since this last year of college than I have in my entire life. I went from having been to four American states to seeing most of the south, fifteen states in twelve days. I really wish that the tour had worked out.

3. I've been meeting a bunch of sweet new people this summer at camp. Very much the silver lining to not being able to finish the internship.

4. My current favourite song is the new Taylor Swift single, "Mine".

5. My other current favourite song is "Light Surrounding You" by New Zealand band Evermore.

6. I'm kind of homeless. Sometimes that terrifies me, other times it's exciting.

7. I really need to learn to manage my finances.

8. I flipping love the TV show Glee. They just released a novel, like a prequel to the series, and I can't wait for it to come in the mail. I started watching it after my cousin died, it's such a feel-good show.

9. I'm also waiting for a letter from Tessa in the mail. I love letters so flipping much. I'm also waiting on one from my buddy James, but I don't think that will ever come.

10. I went swimming last night in the ocean, and I've never swam in phosphorescence - it was like fireflies surrounded my arms and legs while I swam... one of the most magical things ever.

11. When I was twelve I was published for the first time, in a magazine called The Magazine Not For Adults.

12. I was also published in The Province for winning a contest to write your own ending to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... this is how I skipped the 2-hour line at the midnight book release, and is also actually how me and Tessa became friends.

13. Most recently, I wrote the foreword to my friend Jon's book, which is now on sale in book stores and online.

14. I've hung out in the $16,000,000 (est.) penthouse suite of Shangri-La on more than a few occasions - each time without an invite, and each time more epic than the time before.

15. I can't wait for school in the fall; I'm going into my second year at Briercrest, going for my Bachelor of Arts in Youth Ministry. So so so stoked.
