So I'm a go with the flow copycat. . .
 
My friend Hannah recently did this on her journal and I've seen a lot of people do it on their own blogs, so since it seems to be the popular/dorky thing to do, I think I'm going to now make a list of 50 random facts about me. If I can come up with 50. I don't know. It's late. I spent the night watching a "Scrubs" marathon on NBC. Along with "Arrested Development," one of TVs most overlooked gems, especially when so many sitcoms suck. Anyway, here we go. . .
 
50 Random Facts About Christopher Scott Williams (aka C-Dubbs)

3. My first human crush was in first grade, named Heather Campbell. We'd hold hands and walk to lunch together and she'd share her deepest darkest secrets with me, like how her mom made her drink Cranberry juice every day so she would pee. :-) Unlike Smurfette, she was not blue.
 
4. I minored in film studies in college, hoping to become a film critic, so I have seen many foreign and obscure films that I don't understand but agree to be artistic because they talk French and smoke a lot.

6. I was saved when I was six after an AWANA meeting at church. I remember it was around Christmastime and they were talking about God's gift to us.

7. I tend to ramble a lot.
 
8. I once threw a rock at a kid when I was about 10 and smacked him in the back of the head, and he was bleeding pretty bad.
