I was talking to a friend yesterday and was surprised when she told me she had done a bungee jump on a holiday a few years ago. It got me thinking about what would it surprise me to know about my friends.

For instance , I don't think anyone outside my immediate family knows I'm a marksman with a pistol , rifle and submachine gun and I can strip them down blindfolded and reassemble them !!

What would surprise your friends about you?

You and me both! Well, I've got one friend.

I think it would surprise people to find out that I seriously wanted to be a nun.
Not because I am vocal about being agnostic, just because they know me as a decidedly analytical person and because I don't have a problem with any faith (with the exception of - what I consider to be - cults) or walk of life (as long as it doesn't harm innocent people).
Or maybe because my sense of humour isn't always (okay, most of the time it's not) ladylike. grin

You've certainly had some unusual experiences. You should write a book about it. Sorry to hear you are confined to a wheelchair. You have plenty of things to remember though. Best wishes
