Do you have a hobby, skill or simply just a random fact about yourself that surprises most people when they first find out?

    I'm a swing dancer but my husband isn't. If the first fact doesn't surprise someone, the second one does. SO MANY people think you have to have all the same hobbies as your life partner.

    That I play MMORPG games and have a very dark sense of humor. I normally look like a friggin' J-crew catalogue (except not freakishly thin).

    I’m Canadian but I was born in Italy. Yet for some reason many people I’ve met in my lifetime assume I’m Russian. Go figure!

    Even though I come off as a extrovert I’m actually an introvert.

    Same for me. I'm pretty talkative, hyper, and always the center of things socially with my friends & family - but I'm absolutely an introvert.

    Vegetarian because I don't tell them until they notice when I'm eating, ordering food.

    If you use the phrase life partner, do people (silently) ask if you are gay?

    Kind of TMI. My husband and I both come across pretty reserved, nerdy, and just companionable in public (zero PDA) so my girlfriends are shocked to learn that we're so active in the bedroom. Nothing "out there" really and no swinging or anything...just daily or more than daily, and that has surprised anyone I've mentioned it to in conversation.

    I could tell you were a sex crazed rabbit....it is all in the eyes....

    That I have a softer voice, I just tend to be loud most of the time.
