- One evening in Kenya, Africa, I was mistaken for a “local” while sitting on a bench in Nairobi (I tan well). We made small talk.. He was shocked after lifting my hat to see I was an American.. Jambo! Habari Gani !!!! :]
- Most everything here on my blog is first penned in a notebook (yes, literally ink and paper).. I then type it out after I finish writing it.. I know.. I’m strange. I do this with a lot of emails as well.. I have no idea why.
- The first time I jumped out of an airplane, I had a parachute malfunction… I also enjoy rock climbing, scuba, and pretty much anything that involves a certain element of danger..
- I currently have 0 tattoos.. For now anyway…
- I drive a Jeep..
- My dream job would to shoot for National Geographic..
- I totaled my motorcycle while wearing shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals. I was returning from a store where I had just purchased a T-shirt that read “To Be Old And Wise, You Must First Be Young And Stupid.” I walked away with only very minor scrapes after sliding across the cement for 50+ feet.. Yikes!!
- I coached gymnastics in high school.
- I prefer a good wine to beer. Pinot Noir (which I’m having a glass of right now), and Merlot are my favorites…
- I am not left handed..
- Last year I was arrested, cuffed, searched, and thrown into the back of a cop car because of a “computer error”… I was promptly released after the cop sorted it out…
- I am truly a giant dork..
Ok, thats only 12.. for the 13th, tell me something unusual about YOU…
Stumble it!

Ryan // Jan 18, 2007 at 12:55 am
Ha ha… My ADD is definitely diagnosed!!!! :]
And thank you about my blog.. It’s slowly getting there. Still a bit new to the whole blogging thing as I’ve only been at it for like a month..

Ha!!! Yup, sure was… Kinda wasn’t cool either…

Funny. I haven’t really “talked” to you in nearly 12 years, but I still knew half of those things
(oh, and I think you only listed 10, unless I counted wrong) Something unusual about me….I had Meningismus twice within a year, almost to the day. (it is similar to meningitis)

Interesting list! Did the cop at least apologize to you? Something unusual… I like to hug trees.
My TT has 13 words to describe me.
Ryan // Jan 18, 2007 at 2:28 am
Ha… yes Lisa, I must have bumped something and erase a couple of them.. :] All fixed..

Very cool list!
Ummm.. I dunno what’s unusual about me - maybe that there’s pus coming from one of my eyes. Gross, I know. Recovering from pink eye (conjuctivitis) at the moment.

What an interesting person you are!!!!
celfyddydau // Jan 18, 2007 at 7:30 am
great list.
Something about me…
I can identify with numbers 4,6,7 and 10.

That’s a great list. Not sure why you think your a dork though. You sound like an interesting and well rounded person. Something interesting about me: I have one tatoo that I got at Las Vegas Tatoo while I was on a business trip (very Klassy).

Great list! You have certainly had some interesting experiences! A parachute malfunction? Yikes! My first jump was tandem with a very experienced instructor strapped to my back, so thankfully I didn’t have to worry about that sort of thing. I have no tattoos yet either, but might get one after running my second marathon in April (if the race goes well.)
Happy T13.

Great list Ryan…doesn’t sound at all like you are a huge dork but rather that you are alive…something interesting about me: I got a tattoo on my foot while studying in Ireland, I had headphones on so I couldn’t hear the awful noise the needle makes and the song “Blackbird” was playing…to this day whenever I hear that song I can still feel the adrenaline rush and I am completely brought back to that time in Ireland…I love it!!

Ryan after watching you bowl with Jake this is a breath of fresh air……somthing about me….I love photography too!
Claire // Jan 18, 2007 at 8:19 pm
Very good list, I am glad you have joined in on this and WW, i hope you are enjoying it?
I am so jealous that you have been to Kenya! its on my ever growing list! I would love to work for National Geographic, if only i had finished my ecology degree, but i think i was destined to become a counsellor!
And you were indded a dork for wearing sandals on a motor bike!naughty!
Claire // Jan 18, 2007 at 8:20 pm
indeed! i think i may need to write my comments out first like you, to avoid typos!
Ryan // Jan 18, 2007 at 11:06 pm
Hey Susie!!
Yes, I cannot bowl, this I do know… I think i have actually bowled 2 times in the last 6 or 7 years…
Great to hear from you. Don’t be a stranger!!!
Ryan // Jan 18, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Hi Claire. I know. Stupid me to think I am so invincible… Yes, wouldn’t it be great to shoot for NG?? Gosh I’d love that.
Oh, and Africa. Yes, do get there. Trip of a lifetime..
Krissy // Jan 19, 2007 at 9:48 am
Great list Ryan! You’re hilarious. What a lot of people don’t know about ME is that I’m an extreme klutz. It made me a very unsuccessful waitress!

Well when I’m bored (especially on Spanish conversation classes but in general as wall) I’m defending opinions which are not mine, which I don’t agree with only to provoke discussion. So I’m giving arguments and falling into the fire and when the class is over I just say that I actually agree with my mates. Interesting thing is when they are starting to reconsider their opinions thanks to the arguments I gave them … I guess I’m good
(no, I’m not lawyer)
Great TT!
Cheers!
