Well, let’s think of a quick history, shall we? What might be something I could divulge to you… How about random fact-o’s! Like spaghetti-o’s, but without the mess, or hassle of breaking open a can, finding something to put the spaghetti-o’s in, cutting your finger on the lid, or some other mischievous kitchen malady like that. Not that something like that has happened recently or anything…
Name: Odin Morgan Tangvald. Odin, following the Norwegian tradition within my family. (My dad’s name is Thor.) Morgan, after my great, great, grandfather, or someone of that ilk. Tangvald, which is Norwegian for “Tree Farm”. Not really sure why on that last one, but apparently it has something to do with our family in Norway. If you couldn’t figure it out, I’m of Nordic descent. I’m not necessarily a fan of nicknames, mainly because I’m the only Odin I know, so why bat around the bush?
Appearance: 5″7 & 1/2, 150 lbs. Littered with scars, specifically one large scar down the back of my head and neck. (From breaking my neck in High School. Long story.) You can usually find me in a crowd if you look for the guy in flip-flops, khaki shorts, white t-shirt, black jacket and backpack. Headphones and skateboard optional.
Age: 20, soon to be 21!
Sex: Male.
Siblings: Two younger brothers, Rainor and Baldur. They’re really awesome guys, and I’m proud to call them my brothers..
Area of Study: English & Film Studies. I plan on going into film, specifically writing scripts or creating more creative works of fiction, but recently it’s waning into a fantasy rather than a reality. I’m trying to work harder on my more creative side, maybe get in touch with a childhood dream job. (See below.)
Favorite Childhood Toy: Lego. For the love of all things sacred, I think that those sharp little plastic blocks will be the end of me, and I gladly welcome it. I want to become a Toy Creator, or maybe Web Developer for Lego. Talk about a dream job.
Favorite Childhood Song: You are my Sunshine. No contest.
Favorite Current Song: Warning by Incubus. I have loved Incubus since the 6th grade. Went to many of their shows as a kid, and still to this day listen to them while working.
Favorite Current Books: Recently, I’ve been reading parts of Tucker Max’s I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell which is pretty hilarious. No doubt I’ll move on to more bro-tastic works of literature. Well, let’s not hold our breath now. I’m actually looking forward to read Holes for my Children as Reader’s class. I’ve never read it, and I’ve heard very good things about it. Then again, can’t judge a book by other people’s reactions.
Likes: Green Sour Patch Kids. Large forests. The Art of Cooking. The Art of Zen. Random photographs. Silver jewelry. Thick frame glasses. The color green. Jeans. Skateboarding. Reading & writing. Insignias. Cookies and sandwiches. Being punctual. Alternative music. Bamboo. Halloween. Running. Bubble Gum. Shorts. Sandals. The quiet in bookstores. Handheld gadgets. Lego. Hats. Super Soakers. Snakes. Backpacks. Spaghetti-o’s. Crisp apples. Dark, rainy days.
Dislikes: When people talk on bluetooth earpieces. Overdue library books. When people don’t return phone calls. Being late. APS format. Gum on my shoe. Rats. Silly string.
Vive la Revolution!
