The lights are on
Hi there. I'm Levi. Yes, I just used my real first name. But if you're going to try to cyber-stalk me now, know that its impossible due to the jean company of the same name. You will get about 10 million results for buying denim for every result you get of me. So good luck with that.
So, about me. I live in Minnesota, just outside the Twin Cities. Yes, the winters here are as bad as they say. To put it as I once heard a comedian on the radio say, "Minnesota has two seasons: Winter, and road work." The ice wreaks havoc on the highways.
I am an active Boy Scout, and I love Scouting. It's a huge part of my life, and I hope to someday achieve Eagle Scout.
I am also an avid reader of just about anything I can get my hands on. Books, of course, but also magazines. I am subscribed to 5 of them right now, and my favorite of them is GI. A few of you Eds might know me already, since I have emailed 2 or 3 of you at some point. I'm always glad that even in such a big production, you find the time to personally reply to me. Really appreciate it.
Go, Pack, go!
Despite living in MN, my favorite team is the Packers, and I don't like the Vikings. At all. If you ask me what my second-favorite team is, after Green Bay, I'll answer "Whoever is playing against the Vikings this week."
I hope you GI editors don't hold that against me too much, I can't help it, it's genetic. My entire family on my Dad's side likes the Packers. My Mom's side is less vocal about sports, but they're mostly Viking fans, which makes family reunions during football season...interesting.
Anyway, I am a geek, I freely admit it. Such a geek, in fact, that I am wearing this as I type.
Geeky to the max, plus tax and shipping.
Just looking at the site it is from should prove it to you.
You're so lucky for living close to GI Headquarters...
Then again they are in Minnesota, and I'm not willing to sacrifice that much. :D
Oh be quiet. The winters are bad, and so is the traffic, but there is hardly a place where you can't get to a lake here. I can actually walk to two of them from my house. Very nice in the summer.
I'm kind of with Ethan on that one. I've lived in the south my entire life and I don't know how I'd cope with all of the cold and snow. Btw, I love that hoodie. It's hilarious.
Fun read, nice to meet you.
Hey good luck on getting your Eagle man. I hope you can do it.
Heh, just checked this again now. Thanks, Pennypacker. I'm working on it. The big barrier is those time requirements. I have to make sure I get them done before I'm 18. Otherwise I can't get it. And I definitely want it; the perks of having Eagle Scout on your resume are noticeable. It's a big step-up in life.
Nice. My Dad was an Eagle Scout. I grew up backpacking all over my home state of California, but I never had the opportunity to scout.
Too cold but sweet that you live next to GI central. Id love to see the Mall of America just once when I can afford to shop. Have heard its beautiful country up there also. Would like to visit once during a summer month when a heat wave is passing through.
@greethan: You would move here just because you like the Vikings? You must be quite the sports fan.
@mooglelover1: The Mall of America is HUGE and AWESOME, but I swear that stores there price everything at least a few bucks higher than they would be at regular malls. I don't go there often, and I buy things there even less often.
As for Summer heat waves, you would be surprised how hot it gets here. And how humid, especially around the lakes. Some days you'll get out of the water, and the humidity is so high you feel like you're still swimming!
Nice to meet you. Bad winters, huh? I'd like to see a state with worst winters that where I live in New England.
Oh, and by the way, I LOVE thinkgeek! They have such awesome products.
lol nice read
Levi, eh?.... I see you more as a Smashter sort of person.
