(Chances are you won't be hearing from him again, but I can ask him to contact you if you like. I know a lot of you cared about him so I'll do my best to be here for you for him.)

Yes, the blog is really gone. No, he will not be returning. If you were good friends, I’m sorry.

When considering to experience something new do you question more whether it will be useful or whether you will enjoy it?

I definitely put more stock on enjoying something, possibly to my own detriment. I’m much more likely to avoid a new thing if it means being around a lot of people, for example, because I generally don’t enjoy such things. I should probably be a bit more adventurous as I would likely find there are things I will both and enjoy and find useful, even if it doesn’t seem that way on the surface.

Should you approach life with ‘why?’ or ‘why not?’

Probably with ‘why not’, or mostly like that anyway, as in, don’t get bogged down with questions, if you want to do something just do it etc.

But I am very much a ‘why?’ person in that I like to ask all the questions and know as much as I can about something because I’m awful at making decisions so I like to be fully informed. And I think asking why, a lot, often can and does make me feel better about doing something, as opposed to questioning instead of feeling and talking myself out of doing something.

What's your worst nightmare?

Hmm. Probably looking back on my life as a failure. I go back and forth on exactly how I want my life to turn out, but it terrifies me to think of just never accomplishing anything at all. I think that is scariest right now because I feel like I haven’t learned anything in college and that I’ll end up unable to get a job. I just want to be happy when I’m older and not regret my choices.

Would you consider sounding like your mother/father a good thing?

Well, it depends. If it is in terms of how my voice sounds, then sure, that’s fine with me. I wouldn’t care too much either way. If it’s in the way I express my ideas and/or my viewpoints on things, I would consider it very much a bad thing. My parents, while decent enough people, are a bit… behind the times, I guess is the nice way to put it. (sorry it takes me so long to answer these!)

Share 10 facts about yourself then if you're up for it pass this on to 10 of your followers

I live just outside of Knoxville, TN.

I am attending the University of Tennessee Knoxville, majoring in Computer Engineering.

I am terrified of most other people.

Two years ago, I really needed a hobby due to some stuff going south in my personal life, so I picked up Magic the Gathering. To say I became enthusiastic about it would be an understatement.

My music taste at any given point of time will generally revolve around one artist/band.

I am a pretty big fan of any and all things chocolate.

I am irrationally afraid of phone calls.

I am terrible at keeping in touch with friends I don’t see on a regular basis because I’m afraid I annoy them. I feel pretty bad about it because I’ve killed a lot of good friendships by just disappearing on people.

Inside my head, I am really harsh on other people when it comes to conversation flow/etiquette/etc. I think this is because I am really harsh on myself about the same sorts of things.

The past two years of my life have been really great, despite all of the changes that have taken place. I’ve made lots of new friends, traveled a bunch, switched into a new major, connected with my brothers, become a much more empathetic and less terrible person, put together a more comprehensive view of myself, the list goes on and on. It took me a long time, but I think I’ve finally begun to grow up a bit.
