    Unbelievable but true things about yourself.

    Would you believe...

    I've never played a single video game in my entire life.
    I've never sent a text message. I don't even know how.
    I have no idea what an iPod is or how it works, other than it plays music somehow.
    I've never been on a plane, boat, or train.
    I've never had a birthday party. I'm now 43.
    I've never been drunk.

    Let's try and fix that all in one go!

    I'd say that most of those are not a great loss, you can do without them, but traveling is a wonderful thing. Seeing the world is magical.
    As a Science Fiction fan, I just have the need to explore.
    If you do book a flight, don't pick Oceanic 815...

      1. I don't drink pop, coffee, tea, beer, or wine. I only drink water, and very occasionally milk or real fruit juice.
      2. I have VERY vivid memories of things that happened before I turned two. From age three to five, I have more than average memories. In contrast, I have absolutely no memories of my 1st through 3rd grade years. None!
      3. Although my religious beliefs should exclude the idea, I have very vivid "memories" and dreams that make me wonder about the possibility of past lives.
      4. I HATE things that most people find relaxing - massages, music, yoga, meditation.
      5. Although I grew up, and still do live, in a very small, quiet midwest town, three people I know have committed murder.
      6. No matter how many lessons I take, I still cannot swim. I sink like a rock.

        I have held or tried a cigarette or any kind of drugs, nor have I ever been tempted.
        I call my mom once a day no matter what I have going on.
        I've been skinny my whole life. Right now I'm at my heaviest at 161lbs.

          Rallygirl, I've often wondered about past lives too...my entire life I have had an extremely vivid recurring dream about drowning. It is so real that I feel I have actually experienced it, and I am terrified of water because of it.

            That's odd because one item I was going to note in my posting is how I once had a gun pointed at me and showed no fear yet when I'm in a pool I'm a big scardey pants. You're not alone.

              I flooded five floors of a Days Inn by flushing the toilet... What's better, my boss (whom I was working with out of town at the time) was two floors directly below me.

                I was IN the science class with MIB41 wherein the teacher looked at him with the question: "Mr. King, what is one of the properties of water?"

                "Water runs!", young Mr. King proudly pronounced and started the ball rolling of his various misadventures with H2o....

                sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                  1. Outside of alcohol and tobacco, I've never taken any sort of recreational drug.
                  2. I'm a blood cousin of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal (3rd cousins). I've never met either one of them, but my aunt is good friends with their parents.
                  3. I earned spending money in college and graduate school by working as a bouncer in a campus bar from ages 19-24. Occasionally, I'd have to toss out football players, including a future 2-time Super Bowl champion.
                  4. When I finished graduate school, my high school roommate recruited me to join him and several of our classmates in starting our own advertising agency. I turned him down since I wasn't interested in moving back to Philly. 10+ years later, the 12 founders sold the company for roughly 85 million. I'm still not over my decision.
                  5. My name is very similar to a former MLB all-star pitcher. I've been contacted several times by news agencies asking for my opinion on baseball events. The baseball hall of fame sent me a a copy of the ballot when that pitcher was eligible for induction. Occasionally, I'll get baseball cards in the mail and am asked to sign them.

                    I would consider these interesting facts rather than unbelievable ones. So taking that into consideration, because I can't think of something about myself that one would think is "unbelievable", I'll just offer an interesting fact (or maybe not so interesting):

                    I'm related to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, the author of "Frankenstein", on my paternal grandmother's side of the family. Also, my father named me after Christopher Lee, who has played Frankenstein's monster. So I guess it was inevitable that I ended up being a big horror fan.

                      I'm actually quite shy.
                      I don't watch a lot of TV and haven't followed a live action TV show since probably the 80s.
                      I've played video games since I was little when I stood on a milk crate to put quarters in a Space Invaders arcade machine.
                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        Well, I don't own a smart phone, or any digital music player, don't text, and seldom use the cell phone my brother made me get for emergencies.

                        Although I'm an outgoing person, I don't have any friends locally. (but I do in other states).

                        I don't own a flat screen TV. I have 3 regular box TVs.

                        Because of my bad back, arthritic knees, and acchilies tendonitis, except for work, the store and the occasional trip to Seattle, I don't really leave this house.

                        Yes, I can see I believe that it's magic
                        If your mission is magic your love will shine true."

                          1. I can write with my toes
                          2. I can also eat, brush my teeth...with my toes
                          3. I can play 'Heart and Soul' on the piano
                          4. I can make spaghetti
