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. 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? 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. |

| Which part do you question? 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. |

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.

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.

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

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... |

Well since I'm still kinda new here I can say pretty much anything... 1. I'm 16 and will be a junior in high school. 2. I've been involved in Search and Rescue and HAM radio for almost 2 years and Civil Air Patrol and volunteering at the hospital for about a year. 3. I'm a Dutch immigrant and moved to America in 2000. |

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. |
