    Wow, so many interesting backgrounds! I'm also a big gamer (altho I like RPGs, not MMORPGs), and I also speak 4 languages - 3 fluently (English, German, Spanish) and one passably (French) since my mother is German, my dad American, and I was born in France, and lived in S. America.

    I speak four languages (Spanish, English, Portuguese, Quechua) although everyone else in my family only speaks one.

    I've never been stung by a bee.

    I love Meryl Streep. Even though her character in Devil Wears Prada is a complete b@£$% I love it!
    Whilst training to be a doctor, I would speak to patients with smoking related illnesses and then go out and have a cigarette.
    I once saw Steve Martin in a video store whilst on holiday in Santa Monica.
    I once queued up to see Geri Halliwell of Spice Girls fame for my gay best friend (shameful).
    I had been on 12 aeroplanes before I was 1.
    I'd love to get tattoos all down my arm but it is frowned upon in my career.
    I was never as fat years ago as I really thought I was - looking back I was overweight but I could have dropped those pounds, but at the time I felt enormous and thought there was nothing I could do about it. I've realised now matter how big you are you can always be bigger and fatter - and then you'd look back and think god I wasn't that big. Basically its all relative, you just need to realise you can change it and that you've not as big as you really think you are - its not a hopeless cause.

    I have been to more countries than states. I attended 7 different schools. I married someone that lived in the same house his whole life and I think he is the weird one. I am an army brat and we lived in Germany for 5 years when I was young, I also have a piece of the Berlin wall, we were living in Germany when it came down and got to see a lot of the changes that took place. Sometimes I forget that I have witnessed history.

    That's so awesome. I LOVE Steampunk and would be overjoyed to be able to attend a festival.



    So when I was born the doctors though I had Spina bifida. Fortunately, that was not the case. What I did have was a Sacrococcygeal teratoma and as a result they removed my coccyx and part of my sacrum along with the growth. I've been told that there were various bizarre things inside the tumor, including hair and teeth.:huh:

    So I have this lovely dent in my left butt cheek from the actual growth and a huge scar that runs the entire length of my butt crack.:grumble:

    I forgot to add that I was a blacksmithing apprentice at one time and that I went to early 1800's reenactments. I dressed as a fur trader, shot a muzzleloader and was pretty good at the axe, knife and hatchet toss.

    I used to perform, hula dance...

    My wife has been dancing hula for the last 6 years. Probably one of the biggest joys (turn-ons) in life is seeing your wife do the hula.

    I once fell asleep using Gregory Peck's lap as a pillow and once shared a bunk bed with John Goodman (different bunks).

    I can say "Will you sleep with me tonight" in six different languages soon to be seven (workin on this one). Well I think that is the phrase, the people that taught me could have told me how to say “do I need to eat my exercise calories” and I would not have known the difference, but hey, I goin with it!!
