So I'm a mega nerd. I love anime conventions, video games, and roleplaying with my friends. And I'm damn proud of it too mrgreen

But what most people probably wouldn't know about me is that I really love punk rock music. There's not really any bands I follow, but my sister is in a punk band, and she's been listening to the music for as long as I can remember. Over the past few years, I've started really liking that style of music too. I try to go to all of her band's shows, and I love how much energy is in the music, and how passionate people are about it (Which is funny, because it's a similar sort of passion that I see in con-goers, but in a totally different direction).
I recently bought Guitar Hero World Tour for my Wii, and I looooove the music selection for the game. My boyfriend was suprised, and he said, "Wow, I wouldn't have thought you'd be interested in those kind of games."

So ATG, what is something about you that suprises even your close friends/family sometimes?

Usually, it's some of my stranger thoughts on humanity or the universe at large...

But it's always weird when people are surprised I'm left-handed. Even people I've known my whole life. One day they'll see me writing and it's "Oh, you're left-handed? I didn't know that." Yes, I've been left-handed as long as I've been able to write, why is this so surprising to you?

I get the same thing when people see me write with my left hand. But it really gets them when I tell them I'm ambidextrous. rolleyes

I tend to keep my inner geek concealed at work, although most everyone knows I go to King Richard's Faire a lot. But as for gaming and cons and anime, I don't discuss it at work around the normals. The novel was too much for them when I mentioned that. In fact, just about anytime a normal tries to get to know me I get the "Oh? Really? I'd never have guess you were in to..." reaction. I'm kind of used to it.

I don't think most of my friends here in New Brunswick know I really like Celtic music, especially the stuff from Cape Breton.

Even fewer people know that I did traditional step-dancing for a couple of years. ^^; I still really enjoy it, but it's not something I like showing off.

I don't tell anyone what I watch on TV or what music I listen to, but I wouldn't say that would be particularly surprising. Generally I try to be as inconspicuous as possible so that nothing about me surprises anyone.

The fact that I am NOT asexual might surprise a few people though, given how much I hate talking about relationships in general. XD

Something that people are always surprised to hear from me is that I love dressing up in a pretty dress, and spending an hour on my hair and makeup once in a while. In other words, I think it's fun getting all glamed-up. And that I also really enjoy cute, colorful clothing.

Even my friends I've known forever become surprised when we go shopping. It's probably because I never dress nicely for school or care what I look like on a normal day. But when I go to a party, movie, ect. , I spend two hours getting ready... just cuase, i don't know, it's fun.

well, I work super early most days, but on my days off, I sleep for most of the day...not sure if that fits what y'all are talking about, but that trips my family out...or! with how much I eat, and not really gain weight...

Boy, stop denying it: all the food goes to your a**. Gabriel Inglesias likes to say, "I drink Diet so I can eat regular cake."

Hm. It seems whenever people visit my house, they're shocked to see that my room is cleaner than theirs. *Thinks.* I'm pretty open; there's not a whole lot that surprises people. I do get the left-handed comment often, when someone bothers to notice.

Oh! People don't know I have long hair. I keep it up so often, everyone's jaws drop. I look at them with the are-you-serious?-look.

I'm like that about TV too. I dunno why, but I'm embarassed to tell people that I love watching Chowder and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack sweatdrop Kinda makes me feel like a little kid I guess....but those shows are so messed up and awesome.

And I totally forgot that I made this thread earlier. @_@ So tired

Alright everyone, I have a shocker for you all! Something no one knows about me!

I... am a fan...

of the...

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG SERIES!

>>

oh wait, people know that. Ok then. *ahem* Honestly, nothing comes to mind... I'm generally an open person. I don't hide things, But I don't make it a point to talk about myself either. It's just one of those "It came into the conversation somehow" things. Um... oh I have something that... I'm not sure if I told everyone or not. My right ear is a bit deformed, the tip is bent lower than normal. That's why I generally grow my hair in a way that it covers my ears.
