What about you would surprise other people?

1) That I am, in my own way, very ambitious. and  2) I have complete confidence that I will be very successful in my field eventually.

Because I work with computers all day, train people how to use them, and am pretty adept at solving technical problems, people are Shocked when I tell them that I really hate computers and technology.

That I really wish I had lots and lots of shoes. Cute little strappy sandals, red high heels, shoes every color of the rainbow, espadrilles, clogs, boots... you name it, I want them.

Because of trouble with one of my feet, I own very few shoes because I can't find them to fit and the ones that do fit are very expensive.

Stuff about me always surprises other people. I don't know why.

I can't think of anything about me that might surprise other people. Other people delight me and offend me and bore me and enchant me--but they rarely surprise me.

I would be a country singer. Sounds funny I know, but I love country music and I think it would be fun. :)

Something about me that would surprise other people, I think, is to learn that I am a long-time cross-dresser. Very few people know that about me and, judging by the image I try to cultivate, I would  venture to say that quite a few people would be surprised to learn that about me. Of course, I could be wrong

Most people don't know that I'm double jointed in both of my pinkies, which scares some people and amazes others.
