Five Things You Probably Didn't Know About Me

Around the blogosphere, people are tagging each other in this time of year. This is how it works: a blogger writes five things about himself that no one would know about. Then, he asks five other bloggers to the same. A chain like effect that my friend Philippe Martin passed onto me.

So here we go:

I'm right handed and left handed, but not ambidextrous. This means I write, play badminton, punch with my right, and with my left, I’ll play hockey and throw a ball. I’ve met one person like me throughout the years with the same condition.
I had my first barber shave at the age of 27 (photo). Puberty came so late in my case and takes so long. I think it will be finished in my thirties.
It took me three hours to get out of my mom’s belly. Since, I’ve always been in a hurry.
I think I have ADD, attention deficit disorder. My sister is convinced of that. So when you talk to me, make sure you sound interesting.
I once slept 18 hours straight. It happened after travelling on two planes and one train. I woke up in the darkest of rooms. And I simply freaked. I didn’t know where I was, what time it was.

I didn't say you had ADD because you can concentrate on something for hours if you want to, which just makes it even more irritating when your eyes are fixed on me and I know your head is in a thousand other places at the same time. Then again, your ever-moving brain is a big part of what makes you what you are: interesting, animated, full of projects and initiatives! From: the mis-quoted sister

salut Kim ,
tu peux m'ajouter à ta liste des polyvalents non ambidextre : j'écris et j'injecte de la gauche; je lance la balle et je fais du judo de la droite ... je suis une gauchère assimilée ...
Ce fut très enrichissant de te revoir. Tu as une plume magnifique. Je continurai de suivre ton périple à travers ton blog et espérons que notre prochaine rencontre ne se fera pas attendre un autre 10 ans ...
Marie
