Unusual Facts About Yourself...

[Fencergrl]

I love saying outrageous things to people (it runs in my family).

We had our wedding reception at my brother-in-law's acreage.
I wanted to thank my brother-in-law for letting us use his place, so I put my arm around him and said "This was absolutely perfect, I want to have all my weddings here" then I kissed him on the cheek and walked away.... the look on his face was priceless...

-I have a copy of Atlantis: the Eighth Continent signed by Charles Berlitz and Herb Sawinski, both great friend of my grandfather (Berlitz would hit on my grandmother in front of his wife and my grandfather).
-My family is VERY musically inclined: bands created include Basement Tribal (2 uncles), Jupiter Kings (same 2 uncles), Tugboat Annie (other uncle, bass). Bands still around include Dear Leader (other uncle, John Sulkow, bass), and Erector Set (starring my cousin, Marty Sulkow). The Erector Set is following Dear Leader in Boston soon (details are fuzzy at the moment). If anyone shows up, try to mention my name. If you don't know my name, just mention that he fences, and they'll know . The musical part of my family, though, is my mother's side, so I don't have the knack for music.
-I have four generations living in my apartment in manhattan: my great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, father, and brother.
-I have seen nearly every Dr. Who starting from the late Patrick Troughton, up until the end of Peter Davidson.
-I consider myself a buff in these categories: James Bond (REALLY rusty, though), the poetry of Robert Frost, types of root beer, and the music of the Beatles.


fencerontheline is of course lying about the manhattan thing as no one could walk approximately 30 miles (probably even more) without rest .

Early graying runs in my family (using starts in our teens... I loved it made it easy getting into bars when I was underaged).

Before my grandmother died last year, there were 4 generations of people with grey hair in my family.

-Saw Nelson Mandela speak

-First kiss was on stage. Second, third and fourth were at the cast party...

[Moonitic]

Cast parties. Won't even go there, though it felt GOOD...

I broke my elbow in my sleep. Let's just say I was a really wild sleeper....

It's pretty obvious that you didn't school him well enough to knock any sense or decency into the fellow. I'm surprised even that you still admit to knowing him!

My great^5 uncle discovered the Old Man in the Mountain. Now that it's fallen down, that doesn't matter, though.

My grandparents claim we're realted to one of the wives of Henry VIII, but no one completely beleives them.

I got to level 72 in Word Munchers in fourth grade. That is possibly my #1 lifetime accomplishment.

I've never smoked, drank (except for one sip of wine), or kissed a girl (except for one game of spin the bottle.) Doesn't make me good at high school storytelling.

I haven't kissed a guy, either.

I got a 2330 on my PSATs, which I think was highest in the school. I haven't gotten my SAT scores back yet. I guess that doesn't count for much. Oh, well.

I once fell asleep driving without totalling my car or dying. That was also the scariest moment of my life.

I programmed Minesweeper for my calculator. THAT was cool. I think.

Probably the biggest Jethro Tull cultist on fencing.net. Probably the only one in my high school. Or possibly the state.

I lack the ability to recognize voices over the phone. I know who I am talking to by context or if they identify themselves. I don't recognize my husband's voice (who I've known for 15 years) my sisters' brothers' or my friends' voices.

My hearing is okay.
I can recognize a song faster than most people, usually within the first few seconds. I can recognize a singer's voice on the radio, but if I heard the same person talk I wouldn't have a clue who it was.

I grew an extra bone off my knee.

I met Prince Albert of Monaco a few years ago at a Pentathalon I helped referee, and at the dinner afterwards he got completely smashed and spilled wine all over himself and me. As a fourteen year old kid I thought that was pretty funny.

[fixxmyweapon]

i can unbutton buttons with my toes.
the end.

*Grins* oohhh I don't know about that.. You're probably the most active Tull fan here, but I've got more years on it than you.

Once I used to join in
every boy and girl was my friend.
Now there's revolution, but they don't know
what they're fighting.

1) I am incredibly cynical.
2) I am somewhat of a pessimist.
3) I have a short fuse.
4) I'm a bit of a fascist.
5) I'm 16.
6) I have a very serious case of arachnophobia - Show me a tarantula close up on tv, walking over someone - I'll do something that looks epileptic.



Other than that, I'm usually a cool guy.

[Schiavona]

Fun thread! I forgot to mention that I've had a serious injury or illness every 4-6 years since I was born.

I once ended an entiring inning of baseball by myself in one play. i was playing third with men on 3rd and 2nd and no outs. a line drive came straight to me and both runners were convinced it went over my head. i caught the ball for the first out, tagged third, and chased down the 2nd runner who was 3/4ths the way to third before he knew what happened. quick runner, not so much a quick thinker. so 3 outs in one play, i thought it was cool.
Rodney Harrison (of the New England Patriots) came into the video store i work at and is much smaller then on TV. I signed him up for an account and didnt believe that it was his drivers liscense and asked for another ID. I also thought i could beat him up. then i saw the size of his forearm and was very very very very wrong

I was once arrested under the charge of 'driving where there are no roads'.
