10 Things ...

... about YOU!

Write 10 things about yourself that members of the forum may not know. They should not be personal ... but rather information that will help us get to know each other better.

1. I am originally from Newfoundland
2. I am a NEAT freak (I think that is why the cat food bowls bother me so much)
3. I am TERRIFIED of dying

6. Bugs and/or spiders scare me

8. I have 2 brothers, 1 sister, 2 neices and 1 nephew
9. When I was little I had 2 cats, both with the same name because I wasn't able to think of 2 different names ... lol
10. I don't have a drivers license because I am afraid of driving. (I am in the process of registering for Driving School though and I am nervous as heck )

1. I was born in Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands and always lived there until recently.
2. I moved to a house next to two friends of mine.
3. I have one younger sister and one older sister.
4. I would love to get a dog, but don't think it's best to get one right now, as I would also like to travel more.
5. I hate mosquitos (they always get me).
6. I went to college for 9 years(!), but didn't graduate although I only had a couple courses to go (wasn't motivated enough because it wasn't interesting).
7. I have an addiction for DVD's..whenever I see a good one for a good price, I have to buy it.
8. My house is my office, I started a company in 2002 called Gryphon WebSolutions. A Gryphon is a combination between the head and wings of an eagle and body of a lion (Greek mythology). My name Leon means Lion, that's why I came up with the Gryphon Idea.

10. Spring is my favorite time of the year, not too cold, not too hot.

These made me giggle when I read them. I could just see you scratching your head and wondering what you did with that list of 'Important Things to Do!'
I could also see you jumping from shadow to shadow on a beach somewhere! LOL
