Posted on by

My list for today is 13 things that people might not know about me.

1. When I was a kid, I had freckles. It seemed to me that I had a million of them.

2. I read in the bathroom.

3. I have a strange obsession for pajamas and socks.

4. My current hair color came from a box.

5. When I was first living on my own, the only thing I knew how to cook was hamburger helper.

6. I am extremely clumsy. I can trip and fall down even when I am standing in one place.

7. I like to watch Wife Swap

8. I am afraid of spiders.

9. When I was a kid I wanted to be an anthropologist when I grew up. (what normal child wants to be anthropologist when they grow up?)

10. When I was a kid I used to like to read Reader’s Digest (would a normal child do that?)

11. I snore.

12. The strangest thing I have ever eaten is a bowl full of baby eels. They sort of looked like a bowl full of spaghetti noodles.

13. Once when I was scuba diving, I encountered a mother manatee and her baby and I got to touch them.

  1. One thing I’ve learned, we’re all more alike than different. I related strongly to three on your list: snoring – I’ve snored so loud that I’ve woken myself; Reader’s Digest – I read lots of those as a kid. I didn’t want to be an anthropologist, but I’d have chosen to be a professional geek, if the word had been invented. And don’t worry about clumsiness, I know someone who broke their knee by sitting down on their sofa. Seriously.

  5. I read Reader’s Digest as a child and still do. I think I have been reading it for about 40 years. I also used to read the Reader’s Digest condensed books, which my parents purchased. They were great.

    I’m a clutz, too. Some days it seems like I do well to stand up!

    Great TT.

  19. I went on vacation with my family when I was younger, and we went scuba diving to a place called ‘Seal Island’….

    The scuba leaders told us that if we see a baby seal, do not approach it, and do not try to touch it. He said that inevitably there’s going to be a mother or father seal nearby and they may misinterpret your actions as an attempt to hurt their child, and they may attack you…. It was an amazing experience, but I spent the whole time making sure that no baby seals came near me!

  23. Jerry,

    yes baby eels. I used to like to eat them when I lived in Spain. When the waiter brought them he would tell us to only eat them with the wooden spoon as the metal spoon would change how they tasted. Being the non-compliant child I was, I had to try them with the metal fork. He was right. They tasted much better with the wooden fork.

    The manatees were great. Every year the Manatees go to a place in Florida called Crystal River. There are sections blocked off that people are not allowed to enter. However, this mother and baby left that area so I was able to get very close to them. The bad thing was I neglected to tell my dive partner where I was going. My dive partner happened to be my father. So he was a little nervous when I was not where I was supposed to be.
