"I never knew that about you"....a fun thread.

[Onacara]

One of the "Team Building" things we do at my company is have the teams get together and share something about themselves that their co-workers might not know about them. A few times it has taken on the "3 truths and a lie" format used in the Scaper of the Week blog but alot of times it is simply just going around the room and each person reveals their "secret".

I thought this would be a fun thing to do here...especially with all of the tension that gets built up in some of the other threads.


I'll go first...

I really like Karaoke and have performed several times at or company picnic...some times in costume.

Last week at the picnic I got to perform 3 times (by request). Each year the picnic has a theme. This year it was "The 80's"...so i definitely had to bust out some Cure....

Here is a pic of me in action...

Well here goes:

Spoiler Alert!

I play Heroscape.

I play soccer, indoor soccer, polevault, and run track.

I once bowled a 300 game.

EDIT: In truth, I've bowled three 300 games, but only one was sanctioned.

Nice! I've only ever bowled a 300 game on my Wii.

I can't break 120 for the life of me.

I happen to be one of those super-skinny guys who eats like I was 1000 pounds. I also ran for various class offices in school, but I always lost.

Ona, where did the beard go?

I once paid $1100 for Standing room at a Red Sox game.*







*Game 2 of the 2004 World Series

[CheddarLimbo]

I have no sense of smell as a result of a face-smooshing skateboard accident from my youth.

[Frylock]

I am a classical violinist, which is weird even for gamer geeks. I'm going to be attending the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston this fall as a freshie.

Any other musicians out there?

So much for my 'gamer funk' strategy...

[xraine69]

I am an avid reader and for the past year have been stuck in paranormal romance(40yr old, straight male). Twilight, Vampire Academy, House of Night novels.

Oh, and I caused SpiteoftheDice to get a new title and now waiting on nyys's.

[TurtleKing99]

I like turtles.

[Fencerjared]

I fence (this should be no surprise). I was a National Champion a few times, got one spot away from being the alternate for the world team. (3 team members, one alternate that gets to go to the tournament as well.)

I brew my own beer, and drink most of it.

I comb my hair into a pompadour.

Honestly, don't really know if I do anything that anyone here would find odd.
