Random Stuff About Me

Well enough about you... let's talk about me!  :p

Blogs are for engaging in narcissism after all, so, one might as well talk about oneself. Ideally, a blog should also be entertaining to others, lest it become a waste of 1s and 0s. So, for the amusement of whoever cares to read it, here's a few interesting tidbits I came up with:

1) My entire family line and all of its descendants were once cursed by my great-grandfather. Someday, I plan to write a novel about it.
2) I was once a millionaire. It wasn't that exciting. I know a few millionaires and most of them aren't too exciting either.
3) I rode an elephant... that was amazing and exciting!
4) I've never been arrested. But I did get tossed into the back of a squad car and threatened with imprisonment in a Turkish jail (that's what happens when you get caught making out in a park, in Istanbul, very late at night).
5) I've been investigated by the FBI for terrorist-related activities. The only other person who thought I was a terror, was my mother.
6) I was once offered a first-class plane ticket, and a blank cheque by a high-ranking official of the Angolan military. I declined both, but we still email from time to time.
7) My family worries about the crazy stuff I do... the well-connected ones sometimes slip me little pieces of paper with the home numbers of foreign consuls and archbishops, in case I ever need to be rescued.
8) My idol is James Bond... like that's a surprise, NOT!
9) I've shot many people. But so far, only with a camera.
10) The cutest guy I've met recently, is named Dino. Yeah, you know who you are.  :p
11) My favorite color is blue (did you think everything in this list was gonna be exciting?)
12) During those few minutes of my near-death experience, I was very, very mad.
13) I've occasionally pretended I was male. And got away with it.
14) I can sing like Elvis... if I really, really, want to.
15) I know when to quit writing. It keeps people from getting annoyed with me.
