25 Things You Didn’t Know About Me
- My second toe is longer than my big toe. I think of it as a sign of higher evolution.
- In the last two years of playing competitive ice hockey I was involved in at least one fight per game average but still lead the league in scoring.
- I have never been involved in a playground or a bar fight. Ever.
- I had my first french kiss when I was 6.
- I am missing a piece of my left ear and I have no feeling in the right side of my bottom lip. See item 2.
- I skipped the third grade.
- I am afraid of staircases but routinely climb utility poles.
- I have no children.
- I write and golf right-handed but eat and play hockey left-handed.
- A guidance counsellor once told my parents that my intelligence was my biggest problem.
- My hair started to turn grey in high school.
- I really want to have a relationship with a woman who is my mental equal. I have met very few face to face.
- I own no books. When I finish reading a book I give it to someone I think would enjoy it.
- I have no relatives in the United States on my father’s side that I know of, even though my surname is very popular.
- I have lived in four different countries.
- Sometimes I am so sarcastic even close friends can not tell when I am joking and when I am serious.
- I cry at movies.
- Very, very few things get me angry; cruelty to animals is the first on the short list.
- I have no living parents or grandparents.
- My father was a biblical scholar and professor.
- I have one sister, younger by 20 months. She lives somewhere in Edmonton, AB.
- I sang in my high school choir and various church choirs.

#13 scares me. I can’t imagine that any home of mine would feel right without books.
Great list. You rock. But CLEARLY you know this already.

Wow where do I start! LOL So many things came to mind as I read about you. For example. I find it amazing that you do not own a book, but even more amazing and wonderful that you don’t have books because you want someone else to enjoy them.
My cousin’s toe next to his big toe is bigger as well. But…that is what makes me realize it is most definitely not because of higher evolution. ; )
I can imagine it is difficult for you to find a woman that is your equal intelligence wise, but…maybe there is something more that she has to offer. Intelligence isn’t everythign even though it would be wonderful to have that mental stimulation from someone you love.
You left me curious as to what countries you have lived in. One of my dreams is to live all over the world. That to me is heaven.
You sing as well as kick ass on the rink? Pretty good combo my friend. : )
And to answer number your response to number 25, I enjoy you sharing this with us as well. : )
Great list!
You must be a fierce fighter to be missing a part of your ear and have lost complete feeling on part of your lip.
Who on earth French kissed you at 6? Yuck! LOL ; )

Hey Adriana;
As to item 12, I know what you mean, but I treasure mental stimulation as one of the most important things in life and I could not live without it.
The four countries in which I have lived are Netherlands, Canada, Italy and the United States, in that order.
Who kissed me when I was 6? My girlfriend, of course!
