1. I was born in San Francisco in 1968, one block down from Haight and Ashbury so I always say I was "born in '68 in the Haight".
2. I am the oldest of 5 brothers and like to think I "pioneered" all the "do's" and "don'ts" before they did.

16. I start strong but never follow through with many of my personal projects once I lose the initial burst of interest/obsession.
17. I am a voracious reader and have read everything I can get my hands on since learning to read at age 6, historical fiction and non-fiction are my favorites.

This is definitely one of those threads that makes you go through every single page! I love reading how crazy some people are :p

~ I am 100% Greek (moved here last year after living my whole life in the States)

~ I am red/green colorblind

~ I am probably the only person in Greece who wakes up 2 in the morning to watch Florida Panthers hockey

~ I had season tickets with the Florida Panthers for eight years, and I would schedule my work around the teams home schedule. I attended, on average, about 39 of the 41 home games a year.

~ The ONLY thing holding me back from moving to Greece was the Florida Panthers. And right now, they are a big reason why moving back to the states is still not out of the question.

~ I cant stand a dirty house/room, but Im also too lazy to get up and clean it most times

~ I HATE when people quit on you when playing online video games (Madden, NHL, etc)

~ I scored a 1340 on my SATs, dropped out of college, and worked for Primeco/Verizon for a loooong time (best decision I made)

~ Broke up with my girlfriend because she called me Paul instead of Gus (great story!)

~ I love to play Texas Hold'em, but am forced to play Full Tilt now cause they dont play that game here in Greece, or at least where I live.

~ I stole baseball cards ONE time from a Sports Authority 15 years ago, got caught, they called my parents, got punished, and NEVER did anything stupid like that again

~ Smoked pot for a long time (stopped six years ago), and just recently told my mom. She was cool about it, and told me about the time she did it. Years before me though lol.

~ Was starting QB for my HS varsity team as a freshman, got knocked out w/a concussion in my second game (16 for 24, 188, 2tds in first game), and never played again.

~ Ive lived in Greece for a year, havent worked yet, and absolutely have no idea what I want to do with my life! Im 31, and still dont know if this was the right decision for me.

~ I can hold a conversation with people here, but Im still shy to talk.

~ While I can comprehend and read a book if I wanted, I am unable to do so. I have read maybe five books in my life, and three of them were sports-related. I will be getting a Kindle soon though, and I will try to work on this.

~ I love romance, love romantic, girly movies, and I am not afraid to admit it damnit! lol

~ I folded under the pressure one night here, when a girl came over and asked if I had any pornos that we could watch together. Not the second time though :D

~ I have two brothers and a sister, but havent spoken to either of my brothers for years. They are from other fathers, and live in different states (well, another country now), so we dont really KIT.

~ Like I said, Im 31, and I wear a size 13. Ever since Ive moved to Greece, it seems my feet have gotten larger, cause now I need to wear a 14.

~ I am a HUGE Linkin Park fan, and called in sick to go see them a few years ago. I paid 110 euros to go see them in Athens on the 21st...IM PSYCHED!

- - -

I added mine a while ago, but just thought I post one more:

21. I do not scar at all. I've had many injuries and even a few surgeries and don't have a mark on my body. This makes me ideal for covert operations since I have no distinguishing marks.

(20 things...)

Time for 20 more, I guess:

21. As a sophomore in high school, I was cut during baseball tryouts because the coach felt that my throwing arm "wasn't strong enough." I tried out for the track team, and ended up breaking the school record for discus throw and becoming a three-time conference champion.

22. My left thumb is "double jointed" - I can bend it backwards. My right thumb cannot do this.

23. I've never in my life seen a single episode of Baywatch.

24. Other than my phone, I don't own a camera. My wife has three.

25. Before I got my iMac last year, I had more working printers in my house (4) than computers (3).

26. My wife and I have been together for 8 1/2 years, and she's never seen my chin (due to facial hair). Neither of us wants me to shave it.

27. My ring size is 13 1/2. It makes playing guitar very difficult, since my fingers don't easily fit between the strings.

28. My hair was blond when I was younger, and it has gradually darkened as I got older. Now I'm seeing bits of gray in it.

29. I'm 40 years old and I've only ever owned five cars and one motorcycle in my life.

30. I've never been on TV.

31. I once had very long hair, back when I was in college. I had it cut off short about a year and a half before graduation - many of my classmates thought I was graduating soon and getting ready for job interviews. The reality was that I was having what I call my "third-life crisis," when you wake up one morning and realize that one third of your life is behind you and you feel like you haven't accomplished anything. The crisis lasted for nearly a year. My hair is still short.

32. I like Sweet-N-Low, Equal is okay, but I can't stand Splenda.

33. I'm not a coffee person. If I drink something in the morning it's juice, water, milk, or diet soda.

34. I like Ranch dressing on many things, but it's just about the only dressing I DON'T like on salad.

35. I've moved 22 times in my life and had 23 different mailing addresses.

36. I have an OCD-ish trait - I constantly check my back pocket to make sure my wallet is still there, probably 3-4 times an hour, even if I'm sitting at my desk or riding in a car the whole time. I haven't lost a wallet in about 25 years.

37. The first CD I ever purchased was "Music from The Elder" by Kiss. Later that day, I bought my first CD player.

38. The smell of cooking greens - spinach, collards, turnip, etc. - makes me gag, if not vomit.

39. I'm fascinated by reading/learning about disasters and other horrible things - the Titanic, the Charles Whitman shootings in Austin, the MGM Grand fire, etc.

40. My wife is the only person in the world I trust to fix me a glass of iced tea properly, other than myself.
 
39. I'm fascinated by reading/learning about disasters and other horrible things - the Titanic, the Charles Whitman shootings in Austin, the MGM Grand fire, etc.
