Update - Great 10 things posts from Snoskred, Aly, I'm Not Craig, Sveta , Mai and Injustice Gilganixon
Its sharing time.
On this list of ten things you probably don't know about me, I can imagine that a few readers of this blog would know 3 or 4 of them, and many wouldn't be surprised about the others. But I don't think anyone in the whole world knows all ten. So enjoy!
I'd love to see some other people posting something like this - leave a link to your post in comments if you do.
10 things you probably didnt know about Tom Gara, in no particular order
1. My neighbours' kitchen was once broken into and occupied by heroin addicted member(s) of an 80's Australian punk bank called Bastard Squad. They were eventually removed by an all-female group of police officers.
2. I have lost, destroyed or had stolen, 3 digital cameras, 11 mobile phones and a laptop.
3. I spent a night sleeping on the street homeless-style with the temperature at -3 degrees in a town called Dordrecht in the Netherlands. I started out trying to sleep in the train station, but was kicked out at around 2am.
4. My apartment in Cairo was once broken into, prompting my housemate to turn into an axe-weilding maniac. Really, axe-weilding and all...
5. My mum and dad arent married, and for my whole life I have called them by their first names. They are my role models for parenting and set a standard I know that I will struggle to meet.
6. My cooking skills and knowledge are heavily influenced by The Cooks Companion, a book given as a gift to me by an Aunt more than 10 years ago. This book is one of the few things that left Australia with me in 2003 and is still with me today.
7. I once lived in a house of 4 people, and I was the only "straight" one. There was a gay girl though, so at least I wasnt the only one who liked chicks.
8. In the 12 months between June 2005 and June 2006, I moved house 11 times.
9. I have lived in Cairo for a total of 15 months, and have never been to the Pyramids
10. I have a best friend from small-town Belarus, a best friend with Cerebral Palsy, and a best friend who spends their life in-between Libya, Sudan and Ethiopia. I would love to see the three of them meet.
Who's next? Tell me something I don't know about you.....

Hi Tom,
You don't know me in person, but I would like to send you something by mail (should get there within Nov). Can you send me your snail mail address at saki_takasu1 [at] yahoo.com ?
