Ooh round two? Ok then.

1. I'm 5'9" which is above the average height of Indian males... so I often look over guys' heads in crowded places. 
2. My two smallest toenails are really strange, like gross tiny stubs. 
3. I practiced raising only one eyebrow for 3 years before I got the hang of it.
4. I think I have a slight OCD about only certain things too, for example if a text document (even just quick notes) isn't formatted properly I could spend hours doing that even if it wasn't gonna be sent to anyone.
5. I used to have a great vocabulary for my age but now it's just average.
6. I was followed to an alley by some shady guy in the 'safest' part of town when I was 10 and took off running onto the main road with him chasing me. Still seems unreal.
7. I went to a national tiger reserve a few years ago and saw a really famous tiger (his stripes naturally spell CAT on his head) from the front, while many people wait up to 8 years to catch a glimpse of him. 
8. In 5th grade my best friend threw up on me in front of the whole class but somehow the story got twisted and some people now think I threw up on her. 
9. I got lost on a hike in the rainy season with a few of my friends (we got separated from the group because it was insanely foggy) and spent a night in the open (temperatures aren't very cold here, thankfully) before we encountered civilization. Again, still seems unreal. 
10. I've never lost anyone I love dearly (to death).

1. My daughter is named after a city in Borneo because my ex wife and I had a really romantic night there once.

2. Got diagnosed with Psychotic Depression many years ago and was hospitalised for a short period.
(I'm not a psychopath, just extremely passionate about stuff.)

3. I love pineapple, Nirvana, Rap music and gardening.

4. I'm not an Australian patriot but I feel luckier than everyone else here.
(Even luckier than Iggy and Beccs cause I live up north.)

5. If I was suddenly charged for every crime I've ever committed I'd be jailed for the rest of my natural life.
(Wouldn't we all though?)

6. I've become extremely bored with atheism and only come here for the people now.

7. I once beat up a huge guy with a bin lid. Twenty years later I am tired of the nickname 'bin lid'.

8. I have the ability to see myself as the greatest person to have ever lived and the worst piece of shit that ever existed, at the same time.

9. I was once the only dealer on a small island and there's not even a casino there.

10. I have been the lead singer in a rock and roll band.....twice!
( I never made any money out of it but I got laid a lot.)

11. Because it's louder than 10.

12. I realise how 'dad' my jokes are becoming and I can't seem to do a damn thing about it.

13. I often think of myself as a high intelligence person so it's good to come here and get back down to earth.
(I think I might be in the category of 'just smart enough to know how smart I'm not'.)

14. My dream holiday destination has always been Hawaii and I think it's because of an Elvis movie I saw as a kid.

15. I've decided to sit on the fence about abortion, indefinitely.

16. I was a nudist, as was the rest of my family, but I opted out at erection age and started wearing shorts on the family excursions.

17. I can make Carbonara better than anyone else in the world, maybe, but I have had people from all over the world tell me it's the best they've ever tasted.

18. I'm not the biggest fan of country people or their music, but I do appreciate their meat and vegetables.

19. My favourite meal is pie with peas, BBQ sauce and a bottle of chocolate milk.

20. I'm very fast...at everything. (Sorry Ladies) :-)

1. I'm hard-of-hearing, have been since around the age of six. I am supposed to wear hearing aids, but as an adult they've become too expensive to afford so I attempt to get by without them.

2. I have dandruff issues with specialized shampoos do not fix. I love picking at my scalp and peeling the dry skin from it.

3. I enjoy self-cannibalizing myself by biting off and eating the skin from around my fingernails.

4. Thanks to the genes I inherited from my father, I must treat my face twice daily so as to keep the redness and acne from taking over and making me uglier than I am already. No, aging has not absolved the issue; at nearly forty, it is as bad as when I was younger.

5. I tend to lack common sense, because I sometimes do something without properly thinking options through first. Like with my scooter accident: it was brought to my attention that I should have stopped at the side of the road to look at the scooter instead of attempting to look down at it while I was riding it with my helmet which provided limited movement and visibility. I honestly had not even thought of moving to the side of the road until it was brought to my attention from my boyfriend.

6. Most times I feel as though I do not belong in this world, that I am not mentally equipped to handle the cruelty of it that I would end with a snap of my fingers if I could. I seem to be struggling whereas everyone else seems to be dealing, because I do not want to hide behind a mask in front of others just for the sake of their comfort.

7. When a coworker says something to another coworker, I overthink about what was said and somehow think it is about me; that the person is blaming me for some reason. Most times when a coworker looks at me in passing, I believe the individual is thinking bad things about me.

8. I am not as calm as I may appear, as I have been informed by others, because my mind is always roiling with thoughts to the point that most nights I have difficulty trying to get to sleep because I cannot shut off the conscientious thoughts.

9. When I become too overwhelmed, I blow up. I do not give any thought to where I am or with whom; I simply let it all out as a storm of words. I have been informed that I need a proper venting outlet.

10. I wish I had the discipline to be the writer I know that I can be.

1. I had a Roman Catholic upbringing and spent 12½ years in Catholic schools.
2. I came out as an atheist in 1982.
3. I'm a life member in American Atheists and The American Rationalists Association.
4. I have no use for children and remain a confirmed bachelor.
5. I served in Vietnam for 2½ years, before I knew better.
6. I am a cancer survivor.
7. I vote the Democratic ticket, but my political views define me as a Democratic Socialist.
8. Even at my age (70), I find The Valkyrie's avatar picture incredibly sexy.
9. I am a Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth fan fiction writer. Liv Tyler is my muse.
10. My father was an abusive, bible thumping Lutheran. I didn't shed even a single tear for him at his funeral.

I guess I'll beat The Valkyrie to the punch on the third time around.

1) I hate rap.
2) I am the oldest of my generation.
3) I've been told that I look like Benico Del Toro, Dave Navarro, and Satan.
4) I've eaten Kangaroo.
5) I love The Kids In The Hall.
6) I last like no other!
7) I think Tim Curry was absolutely fucking fantastic in The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
8) If it comes out of the water, I will eat it.
9) I drove 2 hours in a torrential downpour to see Santana.
10) I FUCKING HATE people.

Kindergarten; morning sessions only. I didn't attend school for a full day until First Grade.

Wouldn't that translate into Purgatory in Catholic speak, Mr. Biker?
