Things You Don’t Know About Me

Inspired by zuzu.

Four of these are true, one of these is false.

Which one is false?

1. When I was a kid, I wrote fan-mail to Brad Renfro.

2. I once slept with a complete stranger (he was handsome, so that’s allowed) on a trip to Brussels. He was staying at my hotel, but we actually met in the ice cream parlour across the street.

3. My family and I were once nearly murdered on the German border, by a bunch of drunk Polish traders.

4. During my kooky teenage years, I once jumped off the veranda in platform shoes, and ended up with a swollen ankle. I still, to this day, have no idea why I did what I did.

5. I used to be extremely into Ukrainian religious artwork. I used to draw pictures on Christmas themes, using symbols borrowed from Ukraine’s pagan tradition. When I was little, some of my work went on display in one of Ukraine’s most famous monasteries: the Kievo-Pecherskaya Lavra.

  1. Crap, I feel like a bad friend. Well, the thought of you and painting and religion is just too strange for me. so there. and two is just a twist off a real story, no? tell me i’m not on crack.

  2. I have been to Brussels.

    I’ve just never had sex with a stranger in Brussels.

    I did get drunk there, both times I went. It’s a good city for that sort of thing. I love it. It’s beautiful.

  3. Maybe you should remedy that situation. I know a few people in Brussels if you’re interested in meeting said stranger 😉
