Time to Get to Really Know One Another...10 Random Things

[BigGreen]

Yes, another BigGreen experiment just for AR. I post on a message board ENTIRELY unrelated to fitness and this lifestyle, and a similar thread was started there with the coolest results. It occurs to me I know very little about the people I spend most of my (virtual, net-based) day with. So, without further delay and keeping in mind the great anonymity of the web, let's hear 10 random things about you...good things, that you wouldn't normally tell without the cloak provided by screennames and such. I'll put my head on the chopping black first:

1. I am definitively certain I can point to the single best moment of my life, but can't for the life of me pinpoint the worst.

2. Multiple times a day I tend to imagine my life, the movie version, complete with soundtrack, cool camera shots and all that jazz.

3. I am quite honestly horrified of spiders.

4. However, one thing that scares me more than spiders is flying. I have turned down admission and a scholarship to a school I thought I would've killed to get into simply because I'd have to fly home each break.

5. I discovered this summer that I am quite the pacificist in that I hit a squirrel in my car (killing it) and felt bad for days.

6. I firmly believe I have found the woman I truly love, but just as firmly believe it is destined to be unrealized (thus, my "post-post" quote).

7. I have never so much as even kissed a girl who was not caucasian (this is not by intention nor design, or not for lack of effort ).

8. When I had mono it was misdiagnosed as leukemia for a period of about two weeks!

9. If I could sleep with ANY famous person it'd be Christina Aguilera

10. One of my biggest fears (honestly) is dying in a freak accident...like the guy who gets hit by the frozen block of piss that falls out of the airliner. That just ain't right.

[saboudian]

Hey big green, i can undestand the christina aguillera thing too. But honestly, being the huge monster that u are and all crazy on juice, and dreaming about impregnating her every day, i think if u ever got the chance u'd just break her in 2.

[tolinka]

1. I was born in Russian and when i was 5 i moved to israel, and now im here in north texas.

2. I have a bipolar deprsession. But i'm trying to make it better without the meds.

3. I'm a virgin.

4. I did a serious amount of drugs back in israel.

5. I'm scared of snakes but at the same time i'm fascinated by them.

6. Every day i think about being a better person and treat others better.

7. I dont think i'm a good person.

8.My first kiss came from my best friends girlfriend(its nothing like you think it is though)

9. I drive a 1989 Volvo 740GL

10. I wanna meet a niuce girl that will understand me, and love me for who i am without any games.

[EXCESS]

1. I don't think I'll ever fingure out what I want to do with my life.

3. I have trouble counting without using my fingers.

2. I have road rage 3-4 times per day. I have never caused a car accident

6. Sometimes I can't think of what to say.

10. Sometimes skipping to the end is the best way to finish things.

[BigGreen]

Pheedno: #'s 2 & 4 are too good. With regards to the dictionary bit, I'm with you 100%...i've been known to do that from time to time ever since I met Dick Vitale (i was a solid hs b-ball player and went to an all-star camp where he was a speaker) and he told me (probably when it was evident that I'd never make a living @ hoops!) about a NYC taxi cab driver who carried a Webster's with him everyday and read from it. He claimed (and I've later heard verified) that increasing your vocabulary is one of the most efficient of the few ways that psychometricians believe your IQ can actually increase...thus putting me on that path.

saboudian: if christina approached me tomorrow and said, I'm yours if you drop fifty pounds, and it'd all better be muscle that you lose, i hate to sellout guys, but I'd say goodbye to the dumbells and get on a treadmill. Of course, with my metabolism the way it is when I try to diet down, I could easily lose fifty pounds of muscle in a few months simply by trying to keep it..hehehe.

tolinka: You've probably seen more of the world in a week or so then i've seen in my lifetime. And, number six is definitely the way to go...except with snakes....never try to treat snakes better. They'll turn on you in a minute. Why else do you think whacking day is so popular?

[tolinka]

Since you shared your opinio bout us, im gonna say something about you.

BigGreen- 1. i think its vvery good that you can poing out the best moments, it makes you happier person, and doesnt not messes with your head as if you think of the worst moments.
5. I know exactly how you feel , i'm the same way, i could even cry a lil

Bout the snakes, i mean the animals...lol. But for real, if you treat a snake as a snake, he will be a affraid of you.

By the way what's "whacking day: ???

[David B.]

1) I am timid and malleable;
2) Too frequently I can see both sides of an issue;
3) I don't have much to say, hence my tendency to send short
messages;
4) I tend to believe that I am the ultimate arbiter of good taste,
and will belittle people relentlessly if they like things that I think are tacky;
5) I tend to be self-centered and self-absorbed;
6) Usually I wish people would just leave me alone;
7) I am a slob. I dress slovenly, do not groom myself often enough,
and my apartment is a disaster area with 12 years of accumulated
papers and junk;
8) I am generally friendly and pleasant if you can get me to break
out of my shell;
9) I am fond of cats;
10) I rely too heavily upon self-deprecating humor.
