Radiate: Tristan’s blog

Usually I ignore these surveys, but I thought this one was a relatively unique idea. So here it is. Props to Aaron ‘cause I stole it from him.

The basic idea – Google image search your answer and copy the first image (usually) into the survey.

1. Your first name: Tristan

It’s true. I googled my name, and the first thing that came up was—drum roll please—a horse’s butt. Fantastic.

2. Your middle name: Walton

Bearded militant. Hiking boots. Sweet automatic piece. Embroidered purse. One of these things is not like the other…

3. Your last name: Mason

I really hope this guy isn’t a relative.

4. Your age on your next birthday: 26

I think this would make a great 26^th birthday present. What about you? I’m sure my wife & my mom would just love that…

5. Where would you like to live: in a castle

That is, as long as it was well-insulated and got cable. But you have to admit, that place looks royal.

6. Where you actually live: DeKalb, IL

This is NOT a castle, and I don’t live in it. It’s actually one of the academic buildings at NIU.

7. Your favorite color: Blue. No, yellow—auuuuuuuugh! (thrown off bridge)

I was hoping a pic from the Holy Grail would pop up, but instead I got abstract art. Which is also cool.

8. A bad habit: Staying up too late

Yarn. As you can see, I stay up too late knitting. At wild parties. Actually I guess you could say I stay up late spinning yarns (blogging, for those who are feeling slow today).

9. A favorite food: Marinated grilled steak kabobs

Mmmm… no comment necessary.

10. Favorite animal: Komodo dragons

Komodo dragons – These guys rock. A komodo dragon can grow over 10 feet long and weigh up to 350 pounds, smell meat miles away with its tongue, consume up to 80% of its body weight in a single meal (my dream), run 13mph in short bursts even though its legs are only like a foot long, and best of all, it can kill massive animals like water buffalo with one bite because it infects its prey with 15 species of virulent bacteria that call its mouth home.

11. Religion: Christian (follower of Jesus)

As long as this tiger is following Jesus and not me, he can stay on my blog.

12. Dream job: Creative arts pastor

This is a postcard from Romania. Fred (our senior pastor) is going to to Romania this summer. I think this is God’s way of telling Fred I should go along for free.
