50 or so random things about me:

Me2

  • I am 70% blind in my right eye. There is a scar. It gets worse at night.
  • I have been x-rayed more times than I can remember.
  • I have broken my nose 3 times.  The first time was from a cricket ball.
  • In a related note, I have been injured (more seriously) more times in cricket than in rugby.
  • I am single for the first time in years, and have no idea what I’m doing.
  • I love photography, and taking lots of photos – Of anything really.  Yet, I don’t really have a (real) camera.
  • My second name is Justin.
  • I would prefer to be out having a boring/average night out than be at home sleeping.
  • My favourite breed of dog is a Bull Terrier, no, not a pitbull, followed closely by a Weimaraner.
  • I am a nerd/geek, and I am proud of it. (What is the difference?!)
  • I love gadgets.  If I had the money, I would own them all.  I recently acquired a new Samsung Innov8 that does more than my first computer could.
  • I love children
  • I am a pessimist.
  • I went through a terrible year for myself in 2006.  It was an incredible growing time for me and because of it, I am a much stronger person and I consider myself a little more “experienced” in life than my peers.  Not many of them really know this.
  • My dream car is a Porsche 911 Turbo. Colour is still undecided.
  • I am very bad at making decision that involve me.
  • Yes, I beat the burger, and I am proud of it. And I mean this one!
  • I have one of those stupid signs hanging from the back of my car, but I keep it as it’s meaning is priceless. “Stupid should hurt”.  I hate stupid people.  Stupid people should be shot.  You know what I mean.  If you don’t, come over here and I’ll show you.
  • I am going to the first of my close friends’ wedding this weekend.   I am best-man to my best friend’s wedding in September. I am turning 25 this year.  I am terrified of getting old before I get anywhere in life.
  • I am very good at directions.  I can read a map effortlessly.  I laugh at people not knowing what’s going on.
  • I wish I could play the piano.
  • I wish I could get a tattoo. I even know what it would be.
  • Don’t tell my flat-mates, but I could easily live on my own.  I would if it weren’t so damn expensive.
  • I love vodka.  All kind, it doesn’t really matter.  I lie, of course it matters.
  • I hate brandy and whiskey.
  • I have a spider thing.  Some people think it’s weird but arachnids are really cool.  I am more fascinated by the ones that can cause damage.  I’m strange like that.
  • I am weird, and I don’t mind at all.
  • I wear glasses as my eyes are too messed up for contact lenses.
  • I am very good at organising things. I think I have found my calling as a project manager.
  • I am nearly 25 and have only recently started liking coffee.  I’ll have a cup maybe once every 6 weeks.
  • I read a lot of books. No, not really.  But I have a lot of interesting books that I would really enjoy, but it seems the internet is far more interesting right now.
  • I am a serious hoarder.  I have a lot of crap that is not valuable, but I will keep it cos it’s awesome. One day, I will need a room just for all my shit that i refuse to throw out.
  • I am very sentimental.  I have “love” letters from high school. Perhaps linked to the point above?
  • I love playing cricket and watching football.
  • I am a Manchester United fan.  Say what you like about glory hunting, but I have supported them all my life.  My brother has done the same, and our father brought us into it.  Do not be bitter and jealous if your upbringing caused you to support a lesser team. Like Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal.
  • I support the Lions in both rugby and cricket.  Over the past few years, this has proven to be a sad, sad time.
  • I think too much about things in my life.  I get easily stressed.  Yet, I can organise the shit out of work-related tasks.
  • I am Jewish and I love being Jewish, but I will not force my religion onto you and in return you will not force yours onto me.  I do not like religious debates – there is no right or wrong answer.
  • I love my family.  It’s small. I am particularly close with my grandmother but can’t see her enough as I would like. I see my parents maybe twice a year.
  • I love summer, yet I love Cape Town winters.  I love the constant rain and the cold.
  • I love Cape Town.  I would not live anywhere else right now, but I miss the storms from the highveld.
  • My perfect girl is beautiful is every way, but I am fully aware that she doesn’t exist and I do not compare anyone to her.  I do, however, notice traits of her in people I meet.  These people are also beautiful.
  • I love writing, but do not think I am very good at it.
  • I love ‘Scrubs’.  I would watch it every day if I could. Someone has told me J.D. reminds her of me.
  • Sometimes I wish I had more hair, but I have embraced my hair-loss. With a set of clippers and a weekly shave.  I hope that counts.
  • I love maths. If all else fails, I will teach maths at high school.
  • I can see Table Mountain from outside my bedroom window. I can smell the sea right now.  I love that smell.
  • I’m not sure what my favourite genre of music is.  I think you might call it “acoustic rock”.
  • I used to eat dog crunchies.  Instead of my parents stopping me, there is a photo.
  • I love tobasco sauce.  But the hot Habanero one.
  • I have one brother. We are very different, yet quite alike.  I suppose that’s how siblings are supposed to be.
  • I have weirdly skinny wrists.
  • I am pretty much the best driver in the world.
  • I use a Mac.  I have always used one, and I will always use one.
