Things We Don't Know About You

[o_0]

I have entire chunks of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet memorized and I can quote them, including the entire prologue, and a lot of the fight scenes.

-high fives-

^_^ I've read that play and acted it so much (once Romeo, five times Mercutio [we performed a school play and that was it and we performed it twice, and I was originally Mercutio, but had to be Romeo because he was sick, and the other Mercutios were just random plays because Mercutio is the best male character ^.^]) that it just has stuck to me.

I am currently wearing one contact lens. @_O

I'm new to wearing them, and I still have trouble getting them in. I only really need one, so that's as far as I get most mornings!

I'm wearing a Rainforest Cafe shirt. I was there several times in Ontario Mills in the past few years. It's one of my favorite places to go.

I'm quite the fan of Balthasar myself. Dunno why, he's quite minor, but I like him.

Remembered another thing. I have quite a photographic memory, which has made me inadvertantly excellent at geography. I just have random maps imbedded into my mind.
Random story about my memory: Once on one of those 'pictures of your room' thread, Scott showed photos of his room. Months and months and months later, I randomly described to him exactly what his room looked like. I totally freaked him out.

I wear a necktie. Every. Freaking. Day.

OK, fess up, shapu, exactly just what kind of a job do you have where you have to wear a necktie every day of the week? Are you a politician? Or a minister? Or forced to work every day of your life without a day off (there are laws to protect you, you know)?

Or do you just like the feel of being tortured to death by slow hanging?

Or, perhaps you are a necktie salesman?

Call me curious.

I'm a professional fundraiser.

Although I like the idea of being a necktie salesman - I think that might be fun.

[Sock]

I wouldn't be surprised if one or several of you go 'HAH! I knew almost all of those!'

-I play several different instruments, just none of them well.

-I used to wear eight laced jelly bracelets on either arm, but I lost one of them on one arm and gave its pair to a friend.

-I'm vegan.

-I'm the oldest of five, but only buy a few months. (My stepbrother was born in July the year I was born in April.)

-I've been looking for black and white film so I can take pictures.

-I've only grown one inch in the last two years and my mother claims that I've shrunk since we last measured me.

-My middle name is Suzanne.

-I fed my baby sister boba today and it was a very bad idea.

-I like listing these things

-Despite the fact that I am German and Irish, among other European things, I claim I'm Korean.

-I learned how to say 'let's go pee' in Korean.

-One of my favorite phrases is 'Bad ___, no cookies.'

[Xil]

-middle of four brothers

-I was a twin

-I've got a knack for everything except Maths.

-I put ketchup on Pizza

-I tutor. I tutor lots. I enjoy doing it and may take it as a profession

-I find the uniform sweater at school rather comfy, I actually always forget it rather than "forget" it.

-I find Macbeth incredibly interesting yet Hamlet rather dull

-Hockey > any other sport



Then again, that is just fact

Hockey > All sports.

Who, apparently, never, ever gets a day off.

.....I have 9th grade spelling...

*cringe* That is truly awful.

[hyperflutterby]

I love mountain climbing.

I have a voracious appetite (if I'm working out 3 times a week, I usually consume about 3000-4000 calories a day) yet I'm unable to break 135 lbs (even when I forget to go to the gym like I'm supposed to )

I'm an excercise physiology major hence why I know ^

[Asthaloth]

i know transformers the movie, word for word scene for scene.
not helped by my new higher qaulity DVD..

Well, I get weekends, but they're not really long enough. It's actually just a standard 9-to-5. And we do have weekend events pretty often.

Actually, now that I think about it, I DO work too hard. But, c'est la vie, I suppose. I enjoy the work, just not the necktie.

Here are a few more:
-In college, I didn't get the freshman 15 until my sophomore year (Ha!)
-I graduated from high school at 105 pounds.
-In high school, I really WAS afraid of high winds (see above)
-I graduated from college at 135 pounds, and the same height.
-I'm an REI member.
-My speakers' color is not the same as my computer's. Nevermind that I'm usually a freak for color coordination.
-I have two family coats of arms above my computer desk.
-I hate reading French, because I can't pronounce it for beans.

My guess is that you can eat anything and everything you want without ever having to worry about getting a "beer gut." Same goes for me. It runs in the family.

The most my dad ever weighed was 135 lbs.--but he was solid muscle. The guys at work nicknamed him "Mighty Mouse" because he looked like the wind could blow him away, but he was tough as nails. He worked as an electrician in a steel mill and he was the guy they always sent up 50 feet in the air or into a teeny tiny tight area to fix something. The big guys he worked with had nothing but respect and awe for him.

I like being little. Though it is a pain in the rear when I can't reach something on the top shelf of the grocery store. But, I can fit into any car without discomfort--including the back seat.

Three more:

Since high school or before, I have always worn loafers, or sneakers now that they are available with Velcro closures.
This is because I cannot tie shoelaces so that they will stay tied.

I consider Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to be nature's perfect food.

I scored a 1560 on the GRE -- 760 out of 800 on "analytical" (basically, math), and 800 out of 800 on "verbal" (words). That would qualify me for the Triple 9 Society, if I ever got around to joining. (Even the much less exclusive Mensa, however, isn't terribly active in my area.)
