You're lucky. There are basically no small ISPs around here anymore. It's the cable company (DOCSIS) or telco (fiber, or DSL if you're unlucky.) Without paying for an enterprise grade connection, it would be impossible to get a BGP session through either.
I also have a /24 for myself. I've had it since the mid-90's, from the InterNIC days, predating ARIN. I've gone years without using any of the addresses. Currently it's routed to my home lab. I'm doing BGP through a couple VPSes, then tunneling it back.

Basically, you get an ASN, find a BGP-friendly VPS or colo, announce your /24, and tunnel it back to your home.
