What's one thing we might not know about you?


Here's mine --- I cannot STAND the sound of a bathroom exhaust fan. Never use it -- turn it off immediately if I accidentally hit it.
 
i sleepwalk, especially when i'm stressed.
 
Ricky Martin bought me a beer at a bar in Cambodia once.
 
I count things a lot, like the number of syllables of a phrase or the number of steps I've taken. Nothing serious, and it happens especially when I'm stressed.
 
I have a full-size mannequin. Her name is Audrey.

What if you're in a single room bathroom in a store or restaurant and have to poop?

I do that with clocks -- I count the seconds between the numbers to make sure it's really 5 seconds. Even when I know it is, it takes awhile for me to tear my eyes away from it.

I haven't noticed an exhaust fan in public restrooms. Flushing the toilet seems to work if you want to drown out any noises. :)

I can't count the number of times that I've looked at my watch just to make sure that the second hand is going to go right where it's supposed to.
 
I collect antique telescopes
 
There's an antique shop I visit regulatory (something you might not know :)

huge store with like 250 dealers, and some superb antiques. It a single room stall and has a fan -- and man alive, there are times you go by after someone has been in there, and ask, yow, put the fan on man.

I'm fascinated by foreign names and will go to great lengths to make sure I pronounce them correctly. Nigerian and Indian names are like crack to me. I have zero language skills but I figure that if I can pronounce your name correctly I've at least done something.
 
Names are my kryptonite. I can be introduced to you at a whatever, it doesn't matter. And a minute later I have no idea what your name is. The only way to fix it is to attach you and your name to something important in my head at that instant. It is so freaking embarrassing, especially at company functions.

My thing as well unless someone has a very unique name.

<--- Person with a weird ethnic-derived name that literally no one else has.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.

I often do the same thing. A busy brain is a happy brain.





I ran away to Chicago when I was fourteen, tried to rent a room at Pacific Gardens Mission and eventually ended up tied up in the back seat of a Taylor Street Dukes gang member who eventually drove me home.

Honest to God, I really had to reach! I’ve been on here so long, my life’s an open book.
 
I was so used to nighttime rocket and mortar attacks when I was in Vietnam, that one night I was dreaming that we were having a mortar attack and in my dream I jumped out of bed, ran downstairs from the second floor of my hooch and into the bunker. Then, someone stepped on my toe and I woke up...
and I was in the bunker and we were having a mortar attack.

That was freaky-weird.

My brother lin law is a comic book artist. he collects comics too, and you almost half of what he does, but he doesn't have officially graded ones.

I like to go to yard sales, and one of the big finds I had was I got a piece of original artwork from 'Sparker comics' from June 1944. A superhero named SPARKMAN , who was fighting Nazi. I got it for 5 bucks :p

For a few months in the mid 80's, I was married to Charo.
 
I am addicted to Caffeine Free Diet Coke, and I am not a fan of chocolate. I really have to be in a mood for it, which I am usually not.

Hospital clocks must really bug you, they second hand only moves, every 5 seconds, all at once.

As for me? I have 68 tattoos, I did about 80% on myself.P1010033.jpgP1010079.jpg
