25 Random Things About Me…
Posted by Chris on February 3, 2009 @ 6:46pmIn light of the recent massive spat of “25 random things about me” notes on Facebook, I decided to do my own.
25. I once saved my sister’s life in Italy. It wasn’t the first time I did this. I also saved her life when she tried to swallow a penny. I did not administer the Heimlich Maneouver. Instead… I mimicked a fight move by I learned in Street Fighter 2 and my Dad was less than enthused.
24. I love Chuck Klosterman books.
23. Steel Panther is the greatest band in the world. Go and fuck yourself if you think otherwise.
22. I once met Gordon from Sesame Street at St. Laurent Shopping Center. It was dark, and I asked him to smile because I couldn’t see him. I was 5.
21. In 1997, I had had 2 glasses of wine, and was driving home from a night out. I stopped at a bank to make a deposit in the automatic teller, and was promptly pulled over by the cops. I panicked, because I had two drinks, but they proceeded to ask me if I had robbed the bank. I then noticed that all of the windows at the branch were smashed.
20. I think Tina fey is HOTTT with 3 “t’s”.
19. I often dream about being friends with Bobby DeNiro in real life. In my dreams, we’re often eating frozen yogurt together at a mall, and I call him “Bobby” and “Rob”.
18. I get irritated by people who put “It’s Complicated” in their Facebook statuses, and then proceed to subtly let everyone know what’s going on in their personal lives with status updates like “so and so is: It is better to have loved and learned than to have never loved at all” or “so and so is: my spirit is broken”.
17. I once drove almost 100 km/h into a parked car in a 40 km/h zone. I was 24.
16. When I was younger, people thought I looked like Joey Lawrence. Now, everyone thinks I am Lebanese.
15. My sister is totally obsessed with the P90X workout. Whenever she mentions it to me, I mentally throw a pipe bomb into the P90X offices.
14. Whenever the SHAMWOW! infomercial pops up on the television, I smile. The Germans do make good stuff.
13. I am going to Austin Texas in 49 days for the South by Southwest Music Festival, and I am maximum stoked. I plan to walk off the airplane entirely decked out in American flag clothing that I know I can purchase at the duty free at YOW.
12. There is nothing like a good cup of coffee in the morning, especially a cold winter morning.
11. My mother once ordered an escort for my sister’s 18th birthday party, thinking it was simply a male stripper, from the back of the Ottawa Sun. Well, it was an escort.
10. I have one thing in this world that completely makes me shut down in fear. It’s the La-La-La Human Steps Dance Group.
