The Glade 4.0

Preferably something that others here didn't know about you, or is just a unique or interesting fact about yourself.

First one I can think of (I'm sure more will come to mind)

Since my father has been a licensed barber for my whole life, I have never in my life paid to get a haircut. Furthermore, other than going into my dad's barbershop to have him do it when he didn't cut it at home(which was rare), I have rarely set foot into a barbershop.

I wonder how I am going to teach my son to go into a barbershop and get a haircut.

You don't go to a barbershop for a haircut. You go to buy pot, and sometimes, coincidentally, leave with a haircut.

I am pretty open. Don't think there is much people don't know about me.

I almost die a lot. That is probably something since I just realized it myself.

I was brought up the traditional Chinese female way, to serve and obey. As a result, I was a really quiet child and quite introvert.

I was also taught and well versed in the four things Chinese girls are suppose to know. An instrument, drawing, calligraphy and Chinese black and white dotted chess thingy… no idea what it’s called in English.

I can only read a map if it’s pointing north. Bad habit I acquired from playing EQ.

Go?

Yup thats the one... complicated little dots >.<

I drove around once for several days with a dead guy in my trunk.

I have been pulled over by the police around 50 times.

I have an almost complete lack of fear, to the point where it is a significant concern. That said, I am irrationally afraid of electricity.

I have been struck by lightning.

Thats situational sociopathicism... or something along those lines.

When I was in 9th grade I was being scouted for a pro skateboarding team. On the last run of the day I slipped off a hand rail and fractured the left side of my left foot. Having to wear a giant boot for almost three months pushed me toward working on my first website and likely changed the course of my adult life.

I should note that the same injury is likely the reason I ended up playing EQ for the first time. Makes me realize that if I hadn't broken my foot when I was 13, I would have never spoken to any of you, and my life would be a little less bright.

I once bartered with the limo driver from my buddy's wedding to get 30 minuted of limo time for 3 sticks of venison jerky.

I have jumped out of 5 airplanes and deployed 6 parachutes.

I have never purchased marijuana in a barber shop, and I doubt very much that the barbers I have gone to would sell it.

I have broken 2 bones in my life but have never had a cast.

(By the way Lydiaa, all maps should always be read with north at the top. Any other way is Doing It Wrong. Your habit is actually the right way to do things.)

I am what I am today, where I am today, who I am today, because of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

My nickname in high school was Taz.

I collect stuffed pigs.

In grade school I was the goalie on a local hockey team, my dad played when he was in college so someone in the family had to.

Since working in ER, I've become compulsive, I can't leave the house without matching underware. I have seen too many things.

I match my underwear. One leg goes in each whole.

what happened that one time that required 2 parachute deployments?

Maybe it was during a ground training exercise.

my family has this morbid tradition where the grandson is alone by the grandfather's deathbed at the time of passing. I don't know if it's planned that way or if it's just coincidence, but this has occurred for the last few generations of my family

I spent way too much time in college first due to EQ *cough*lydiaa*cough* killing my GPA and then later deciding to change majors 1 year before I could have graduated. I ended up with dual degrees, neither of which do I put to good use at my current grunt-level job where I'm extremely underemployed, but I like the people I meet and I have fun at it most of the time

oh, and my current girlfriend is 19. I am hella robbing the cradle :p

or maybe drag racing ?

but don't they deploy a set of 3 when they stop? so would that count as 1 parachute or would each count individually?

My left leg is shorter than my right leg.

I've worn the same necklace for almost 18 years.

I applied for a scholarship that, if I had received it, would have had me working at the CIA during summers.

That's ok, you are Asian...you will look like you're 19 till you are what? 60? So, keep dating the 19 year olds!
