Five Things Most People Don’t Know About Me

Posted on Dec 27th, 2006 by ~Matthew : Youthful Maturity ~Matthew
I was tagged by ~C4Chaos...  Here are five things people generally don't know about me:

1.) I have double-vision and my pupils don't dilate, due to brain damage from a tumor discovered when I was seventeen years old.
2.) I could dunk a basketball in ninth grade (a volleyball in eighth)
3.) I gained the interest of my now-wife by asking her what her name is... in Japanese.
4.) After asking Ayako for her name in Japanese, I tested our compatibility by demonstrating Euler's Formula:
Euler_s_formula
She acted very interested.  At that point, I knew we were a good match.  A couple of months later, she revealed that she didn't give one hoot about math.  She was just happy I was showing interest in her.  Ayako still has that piece of paper in which I wrote this and other "cool" math stuff on.
5.) I have a degree in math.

The five people I am tagging (in no particular order) are:
1.) Dave
2.) MsCaprikell
3.) Peggy Joyce
4.) Ninja Dave
5.) Francois

What a great game…. is anyone going to map out the connections of zaadzsters via this exercise…and see if we can cover all active members by the end of the year…as a mathematics genius, I'm sure you can come up with an equation that proves this to be possible!

DUDE! That’s great. Incidentally, I DID notice your pupils don’t dilate. I was wondering if that was why. Wonderful pick-up story… and nice house in Santa Monica! Although I think you might be living beyond your means… :) I hope all is well. Drop me a line!

Ha ha… it's only beyond MY means, but NOT our COLLECTIVE means, eh?  Wouldn't it be cool to have a community house in Malibu, for all Zaadzsters, that we all pitched in to buy?  It could be Zaangha-central.  We could have some guidelines posted (clean up after yourself, etc) and anyone wearing a Zaadz T-shirt would have access any time.  People could take shifts taking care of it, letting traveling Zaadzsters in and out as they come and go.  Think about it…

Thanks for sharing this super sweet story, Matthew. You and Ayako rock. Can’t wait to meet her and befuddle her with my inferior Japanese. HA!

He he… She won't be fuddled.  2 bits says she'll say you have an excellent dialect.  That it's very understandable :)
