5 things you didn’t know (and probably didn’t want to know) about me

by Vasil Kolev

Because of an invitation from Yovko I’ll also write something :) The whole story reminds me of a book (which for some reason I always use for this kinds of examples), “A Time of Changes” by Silverberg, where there’s an interesting drug, that when taken by two people, they started hearing/seeing each other’s thought. There the main personages were ligin in a civilization, which rejected as whole “I” and the idea for the person, so this drug had a great effect ont heir culture, and the people using it were called “Soul-exposers” – so at all such moments I’m reminded of the term :)

So, five things that weren’t known about me:
1) On documents I’m epileptic. Because of this I really hate the doctors, because for 10 years they were unable to find out what the problem is (and drugged me a lot with all kinds of crap), so I found a way to live with it. At least it helped me avoid the military service (it they had taken me, it would’ve been a real joke…). It does obstruct me a lot, especially when I’m overloaded or underslept, but at least helps to know when I’m over the line :)
2) I’m a power-hungry maniac (okay, everyone knows that, but anyway :) ). I always have to fight these urges and not allow to be given power/subordinates, just because the way I exploit them… Ok, I try not to load them more than myself, but I’ve never been nice to myself either :)
3) I’ve tried to make tea from an used sanitary towel – it didn’t work, soaked all the water. I’m thinking to try one with a tampon, but no woman wants to give me one (and I don’t really know why).
4) I have no sense of rhytm. A lot of times I’ve drummed to some song and at some point I find out that I’ve messed it. Some times when having sex I’ve counted ‘one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four’ to be able to hold some kind of rhytm…
5) I love debugging people, digging in the way they think and to work on their problems, helps me to rest a bit from mine. This sometimes makes the people nervous, it was one of the things that separated me from my big love.
