Tagged!

Hey friends,

It's been a while since I was tagged. Mystique has tagged me, so here goes.

1. I am 6ft4"
2. I am addicted to chocolate milk
3. I could spend an entire lifetime riding roller coasters
4. I love getting scared via decent horror movies
5. I want to adopt an African baby when I am married
6. I have met Stephen King and Paulo Coelho in person (both are my favorite authors)
7. I can ski on snow (haven't tried water)
8. I have no gray hair till now (I say this because I see people younger than me having gray hairs!)
9. I have loved three girls, all of which I did not ask to marry because I was too shy
10. Guilty confession: I love watching movies from the 80s
11. I can lip read
12. I don't like cricket (can't sit and watch the entire match all day long unless it's a live match!)
13. I cannot eat spicy foods (being a Pakistani this is shocking to many people!)
14. I have written two books, of which I am waiting for the right time to publish
15. I am a huge procastinator (oh yes, I have to start my exercise regime, ok, maybe from tomorrow!)
16. I love writing, which explains why I had written essays for most of classmates in English 101 at university, and at English 102, and English 208!!
17. I speak better English than Urdu
18. I am very proud of being a Pakistani (despite all the negative stereotyping and racism towards Pakistanis!)
19. I've attempted suicide twice
20. I have aids. You still alive? Gotcha! Well, I mean I have "hearing aids" for I am deaf in both ears.

I know people can get busy but I tag everyone who is in my Reading List.

*sigh* if only more guys were like you out there. i wish more guys would be open minded like you and consider adoption as a viable venue for childless couples. mansur, the more you write the more i appreciate who you are as a person. one question, number 19, you attempted suicide...why?

as for number 19, its a fact and I cannot reveal more about it. maybe in due time.
