1. My original middle names were "Charles George". When my uncle (dad's brother) called after I was born, my dad promised him his name would "be in there somewhere". So now my middle names are "George Robert".
2. I've been to 3 continents, 9 countries, and 33 different cities around the world.
3. I am right-handed, but because most of my family is left-handed, I absorbed the lefty way to do a lot of things.
4. I'm the embodiment of tea and coffee: half-English, half-Colombian. All love.
5. I went to school for International Studies. My original thesis topic was a pan-European refugee policy as it specifically applies to the LGBT Community. Interesting push-and-pull between the affairs of the states and the EU.
6. If I hadn't gone into International Studies, my other option was Chemistry. I wanted to end up working in a lab somewhere, which probably would have led me to pharmacology.
7. I'm good with technology. I'm no computer scientist, but people still ask me to fix their computers from time to time.
8. Big fan of Macs, iPhones, iPads, and all things Apple.
9. I am obsessed with Belgium and everything about Belgium.
10. Cooking is a hobby, not a passion. I've made, like, fish and chips all the way up to fancy Piedmontese desserts (panna cotta, it was delicious, but it takes forever to make).
11. I am a GIGANTIC Simpsons nerd, and every month, I go to Classic WOOHOO! Simpsons Trivia. My team usually places in the Top 10, of around 50 teams.
12. My other unhealthy passion is junky reality TV shows. Specifically Amazing Race, Big Brother US, Big Brother Canada, Big Brother UK, Big Brother Australia, Survivor, and perhaps, like, Hell's Kitchen. One of my goals is to be on Big Brother Canada.
13. I was brought up completely irreligiously, and churches make me super uncomfortable.
14. Nothing brings me more fear than standing too close to the edge of the subway platform.
15. I love English tea. Tetley Orange Pekoe is the brand.
16. I can get lost in office supply stores for hours and hours and hours.
17. I am a freak when it comes to organizing people, places, and things. My room? Not so much! I mean, I know where everything is, yes, but it's still messy. I need a place to be messy.
18. My birthday is September 17. Virgos represent!!
19. My other huge fear is alligators. They are terrifying.
20. There are 151 Pokemon, I don't care what anyone says.
21. I was on a TV show called "Stuff" produced by TVO a long time ago. I hosted the "What's This Stuff?" interstitial. My three objects were a cow lip tattoo instrument, a thing you bang into a maple tree to get the sap, and the thing you speak into in a phone receiver.
22. On that note, I have a good memory for obscure little details, but probably couldn't tell you what happened last week.
23. I have an amazing relationship with my parents and my older brother. My family is super small, and super weird, but I love them a ton, and I wouldn't know what to do without them.
24. My friends and I have an elaborate inside joke about the word "cinnamon".
25. I can't think of #25. But I'm sure I'll blog about it when I think of it. :D
