I have quite a few scars, mostly due to the 25 surgeries I've had (I'm 25, so it's even for now... ) I have one that's an inverted Z shape on my right wrist from IV needles when I was a kid...

So can I

Really, though, there aren't too many strange things about me. The only things I can think of that might be slightly non-normal about my abilities are... that I like to play the guitar, piano, cello, and organ (though unfortunately not all of them at the same time); and that I suck at every single freaking sport that you could name.
The only physical trait about me that is different, and quite embarrasing for me, is that I have way too much (imho) hair (all over, not just there) for being 15.

Up until two or three years ago, I would always wake up with my head at the opposite end of the bed. I even moved the pillow and blankets in my sleep.

When I was 16 I was ranked #2 in Canada for my age group (15-17) for Compound Bow target shooting (compound bow isn't olympic style, think hunting bows)

I've had two "near death" experiences that both involved almost drowning. First time I was four years old and fell into a swimming pool, was under for several minutes but was revived. All I can remember (still clear as day) is staring at the drain at the bottom of the pool for what seemed like an eternity). Other one was when I was swimming in Lake Huron and was pulled under by an undertow. Saved by a man who happened to see me go under. Oddly enough, I have no fear of water and I'm an avid swimmer. I also believe my name means "Water Dog" in Chinese (or maybe it was another asian language, can't remember).

Nothing I'm entirely unintersting.

Well...I have a pretty big head (like 8 1/2 or 8 3/4 hat size..and it's 26 or 28" around).

But I'm 6'3" and 260lbs so it doesn't stick out that much.

Really...there's not much interesting or differrnt about me. I'm extremely average looking.

6'3 isnt average man! That's definately an interesting fact! I'd love to be that tall (or at least 6'1) ... I'm disappointed I'm only 5'11 (barely).

As for talents for me, I dunno. I'm a lazy, self-righteous arrogant pontificating prick. Hehe, just kidding about that (although it's iffy on the lazy one - more like a procrastinator to the max). I can move my hairline and ears without my eyebrows moving an inch. I can kick a wall and then feel no shame (pain, that's another story). Interesting: I never think I'm skinny, even when I am (definately not right now tho! Hehe, gained like 10 lbs since coming to college up to 165+ lbs lol). Or perhaps thats just retarded. I'm never good enough to meet my own standards; if I was a chick, I'd definately think I'm ugly! Heh but enough self criticism. I can't wait to get married and have kids (err in 5-10 years); definately want to have a son - that would be so cool. I mean, it's a semi-selfish pride a father feels for his son, but it's also a joy. I think seeing a miniature version of you grow up, what he's like, who he is... it teaches you a lot about yourself. It's both humbling and invigorating. Ok now I'm hitting the crack pipe hard, ignore all that sh!te (even though I meant most of it). When they say "off topic" they mean one off topic leads to another. So, how about Team Canada, eh?

I'm an unmarried, straight male, but know the following "girl" colors: chartreuse, cerulean, hyacinth, taupe, and periwinkle. For benefit of the 99.999999% of the normal guys out there who likely have no idea what colors those are, the female to male translations are:

chartreuse = green
cerulean = blue
hyacinth = blue
taupe = tan/brown
periwinkle = blue

Hahah okay...fair point. A 6'3" I'm a couple inches over the average height for a north american male.

But there are lots of guys in the 6 foot and a couple inch range. In a group of guys of that height I don't stand out much.
