1. At 14 I was Rubberman at a talent show, doing splits across chairs and having friends carry me around like a pretzel with both feet behind my head.

2. It's easier for me to sound like a native speaker of virtually any other language after two weeks study than to sound like I'm from where I grew up (southern US).

3. I love to have my feet tickled

1. I had learned German at school from ages 8 to 18, I had even a few teachers from Germany, and I was never good at it. I even had to act in a play some years ago and I didn't understand at all what I was talking about there on the stage. My quiet voice didn't really help either.

2. However, if the play was in English language, I would go and act anyday. Or maybe not so very anyday - my English abilities largely depend on how I feel - I guess I speak English intuitively then. I only know very few grammatical rules and the bulk of my English has been learned via forums. When I first joined my first internet forum("first" - didn't that sound nerdy?), my English was only barely better than my German, these days the difference is quite visible. Audible too, but not to very big extent as I rarely get an opportunity to speak in English. But on a good day...

3. I like extreme/dynamic sports. Especially motor racing. But also I'd like to try downhill skiing, water skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, hang gliding... probably missed something too. And I don't like football(soccer), nor do I like cricket.

(Bonus). This is one of my longest ever forum posts. Please enjoy it, it's all for you.

It IS one of my longest posts. Usually my posts are short because my mind is usually all over the place and composing a well written out, with chapters and everything.... post is hard so I just close my eyes and hope all people who read my posts have psychic powers and get all the missing information via my higher guides.


It IS all for you. I can't do anything to that, I just am such a sweetheart. Reading this post in 4 years is going to be funny though. As I said in another thread, sometimes I read my several years old forum posts and some of them make me cringe. Some make me think "wow, that guy had some humour!".

Three things...?

1. I was hit the face by a soccer ball in a League Cup 4th round replay match between Derby County and West ham United in 1990.
2. I've had acute pacreatitis which required an ambulance to the local hospital. Earlier I said I didn't need one thinking I could 'walk it off'. Men, eh?
3. I've had a wasp in my mouth - it crawled into my beer can without me noticing. Fortunately I was able to spit it out before being stung but unfortunately it was on the first visit to my now wife's family's house.

The question is...who were you supporting ?

- and aspiring likes raw broccoli. *yuk* haha. odd bod.

- Jayne, what sort of Yoga do you teach?

.....

1. I have Absolute Pitch and some screwed up Short term memory problem that makes me crap with visual stimuli and uber at auditory stimuli.

2. I'm a happy person!

3. I have only drank water (as a liquid for quenching thirst) for the past 167 days....and counting. ( sad )

I hope you mean that you've not drank any other beverages and not that you've been subsisting solely on water! I guess that wouldn't even be possible.

And I prefer my raw broccoli with lots of ranch dressing. Is that better?

@ Jugga. I'm not sure why you are doing this, but I think you are depriving your body of valuable and necessary nutrients for too long. You are still a young person and developing physically. I would check with your doctor - soon.

Of course it's healthy, but not as the only means of sustenance for a long period of time for a growing young man. It sounded like you weren't still eating Jugga.

Sorry I got that started...I was just joking. I knew what you meant...

Yes, it is definitely best to drink just water. Keep it up. That's great!

I guess I am just really bad at conveying tone and intent in writing!!! I am not taking the piss at all. I wish I could get my willpower in check to just drink water...I am having a coke right now! I really do applaud you...sincerely...

Raw broccoli, mmmmmmm! Are you gaging yet?

I have only eaten cooked broccoli, if at all I think. It tasted a bit weird, maybe raw is really better then? For some reason, kids usually never want to eat cooked vegetables, especially carrots - or so I have understood. I always liked them though. Hmmm...

Speaking of carrots...

just today when I was outside, I for some reason imagined the smell of a freshly uprooted young little baby carrot. Just run it over with water and eat... mmmmmmm....

later I imagined whipped cream with strawberries.... that's even bigger mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Might as well have added this one to my last post but what the heck...

Just today(again..see, I'm a busy guy...) I saw something on the shelve in supermarket. Looked to be something like ginger flavoured energy drink. So I thought, what is that ginger thingy? I don't think I have ever eaten it. Good opportunity to get to know the taste of ginger and energise myself at the same thing - or so I thought. Turned out it was the same old caramel(or something) taste all enegy drinks have. And I wasted a whole 20EEK... (around £90c or $1.80USD or $2AUD or $2.2NZD or...check out yourself)

Yes, coke is too. I am ashamed .

Sorry for going so far off topic!

Is this supposed to be about one's past, or one's less known goals/accomplishments? Eh, I'll do both:

Past
1) I grew up in a house with no bedrooms; I shared the attic with my sister and my parents slept in the living room.
2) I learned to ride a motorcycle before than I learned to ride a bicycle.
3) I went to the same elementary school as my father and my grandmother.

Little-known Accomplishments
1) All of my month's living expenses, including those of my wife and child, are less than the amount I pay in income tax each month.
2) I've been able to keep the same email address for 13 years.
3) I am able to pee, brush my teeth, and shower at the same time.

1) When I was about 12 months, I spoke my first word while contemplating my hand: "dedo" (portuguese for "finger")

2) My dentist said she will present in her next dentist congress an x-ray of my mouth because I have much, much more nervous terminations than the average male earthling.

3) Back in my teen years, I shaved my hair partially because it was refusing to stay the way I wanted.
