Interesting Facts About You That Few People Know About

Do you have any? :borg: This ought to be fun. We've all read e-mails and survey questions asking basic stuff about ourselves (like job, residence, hobbies, pets, favorite books, favorite drinks). That's fine, but it would be more interesting to know about your talents or special skills, most embarrassing job experience, worst dates, or anything, intriguing, surprising, or provocative about YOU that not too many people know about. This isn't like the Confessional Thread, and you don't have to share anything you're not comfortable with.

"And the miracle is this ... The more we share, the more we have." -- Guess Who?

I'll start ...

This is something I mentioned here before, but years ago, I was "propositioned" by a gay guy in the shower of the men's locker room at the gym I went to. :lol: I said no. :vulcan:

Some of the things I hated about the 24 Hour Fitness Club where I was a member years ago were the dingy floors, lockers, shower areas and restrooms. It didn't help that the management often had to remove the shower curtains from the stalls.

One evening, as I stood naked in one of the stalls, just minding my own business, an Asian guy in his late 20s or early 30s stopped by and commented that I looked familiar to him and asked if we had met before. I said I didn't remember and that I also visited another 24 Hour Fitness location in another town. I was always very private and didn't really strike up a conversation with other people in the gym. He then proceeded to ask me more questions, like where I lived, whether I was by myself or with a friend, or how often I went that gym, and whether I was married or single, all of which I answered accordingly in a polite manner. I must admit I was getting impatient, and I noticed that he was looking at me "down there" the whole time. I was oblivious to his motivations.

Then finally, when I thought he was leaving, he turned to me one more time and asked, "Would you like get sucked?" :eek: I thought I didn't hear him right, and I replied, turning off the shower, "Excuse me?!?" He repeated and said, "Would you like to get sucked?" Now back then, I wasn't quite in tune with my "gay side," so I vehemently said "No." I was very curt and direct to the point, and he just said "Okay" and left. But, boy, was I stunned! On the other hand, a part of me was flattered that he asked. I was just an average guy, after all. :lol:

I'm glad you said no. That would just seem a bit suspicious to me, asking you all of those questions and then asking that. Maybe he just wanted to get to know you before asking that big question, but still, just way too risky.

The tip of one of my fingers on my left hand got chopped off when I was about 6 or 7 and it got sewn back on and hasn't grown again since so the tip of my finger still looks like it did when I was 6 or 7.
Nobody ever notices it unless I show them so not many people know about it.
 
I can juggle fairly well.
I'm a decent dancer
I have a passion for the Law of Attraction
I still speak my mother-tongue perfectly
I am a fan of Graham Hancock
I can do a one-handed handstand
I love Disney movies
I make great cocktails with all the decorations and little touches
 
In the 6th grade gifted class I stuck a toothpick all the way through my left hand.

Are you sure it was the gifted class??


I was a DJ in a skating rink during the disco era. I'm not proud of it.

Disco Rules!


In Kindergarden they were asking us what our nicnames were. I didn't have one because well...my parents didn't love me. So here it is my turn and they ask me...I looked out the window and saw the sun...so I said "sunshine"...I had to live with that nicname for the next couple of years at school....I was pretty mortified when Mrs. Hogan would come running up to me at recess saying where was her little sunshine. Thank God I transferred out of that school in 2nd grade to forever escape this nicname that was never true.

So you see my complulsive lying started at a very early age. I'm quite proud of that. :lol:
 
The big toe on my left foot tingles and is mostly numb.

That sounds like nerve damage!


As for me...most of friends know all about me; I'm an open book.

I've spent two thirds of my life owning dogs with spots.

I worked as a gypsy cab driver for three years.

I delivered pizza for a family owned restaurant for almost a year...and about 6 months after I left that job they were shut down and the owners charged with cocaine trafficking (they had an affiliation with the Hells Angels). Yikes!
 
That sounds like nerve damage!
It is indeed.

My ex had very severe peripheral neuropathy, resulting from diabetes. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. At any given moment her feet would be numb, feel on fire, feel like there were insects crawling on them, feel stabbing pains....not good.
Mine is nerve damage from a hip replacement surgery I had several years ago. I've learned to tolerate it.
 
Let's see...interesting facts about me...

In high school, I did some modeling. In college, I was captain of the Air Force ROTC color guard. The dissonance of the two often confuses people.
 
I wrote a book! I'm very proud of that. Still trying to get it published, though!

Good luck! Remember, a rejection letter isn't the end of the world. Margaret Mitchell got something like 39 rejection letters for Gone with the Wind before someone agreed to publish it.
 
I was born with cerebral palsy. I spent most of my childhood in various physical therapy programs; and now, most people can't even tell. I do have a slight gait that, unless you're looking for, wouldn't even notice it.

Other than having my application to the Naval Academy turned down, it's had very little effect on my life.
