Some random unusual and possibly interesting facts about me:
So I've succumbed to the peer pressure here and am writing one of these. Here goes.
1.) My real first name is Max, not Maximilian or Maxwell or anything, just Max, but I have always gone by Philip, my middle name, as long as I can remember. Philip is a family name that goes back quite a ways, so I suppose it is more appropriate anyways.
2.) I was born in Upsalla, Sweden, and lived in the suburbs of Stockholm until I was six, when I moved to the U.S. Growing up I was fluent in English and Swedish, as both my parents are scientists so we always spoke english at home.
3.) This past summer, while solo mountaineering in British Columbia, I fell 40 feet into a gully after I accidentally dislodged a 300 pound loose block that rolled back on me. I broke my jaw and got a few nasty cuts ,but was fine otherwise. I hiked out 7 miles the next day and was taken to a hospital from there. Subsequently I had my jaw wired shut for 6 weeks.
4.) I have a mineral collection of over 3,000 specimens, ranging from stuff I've found in my backyard to pieces worth over $1000 each. I've been collecting minerals and fossils since I was around 10 years old, and am considering selling my current collection for around $40,000. I've been working on it for over 10 years.
5.) While working for Newmont Mining Corp. in northern Nevada in the summer of 2006, I climbed over 20 desert high peaks in Nevada, Utah, and California, some of which saw only an ascent or two a year at the most.
6.) I grew up on 75 acres on Long Island in New York, where we had 3 barns, a pool house, an extremely leaky but huge in-ground pool, a cottage, my grandparents house, and my great aunt and uncle's house. We had horses, cats, dogs, tractors, buggy's, a revolutionary war graveyard, and several endangered species of plants on our property.
7.) When I was a kid I climbed the tallest tree in my town and used 12" railroad spikes from home depot I nailed into the tree to get up the first 50 feet where there were no branches, then you had to jump for the branches after that because they were so far apart. My friend and I built a platform at 60 feet up and another one at 125 feet, and on windy days at the top you would sway a good 20 feet from the ground.
8.) I've always had about the same color red hair, but in the summer it gets lighter, then darker in the winter. I used to be terrified of old ladies, particularly librarians, as they always wanted to touch my hair!
9.) I tried modeling and acting as a little kid [NOT my idea], but was deemed to "hyperactive" to do that well at either. Probably a good call.
10.) I was a vegetarian from when I was about 6 up until a few years ago, but still don't eat Red Meat or Pork, mostly just because I don't like the taste.
11.) In high school I went through a phase where I knew the lyrics by heart to almost Every Bob Marley song ever made, and owned SIX Bob Marley t-Shirts.
12.) The first time my mom took me to the top of the hill and let me go on my own when I was learning to ski [I was four], I just pointed em' straight and got going so fast I skidded out into the parking lot about 500 feet. Miraculously I was fine, but was crying because "I stopped".
13.) I've probably traveled a little over a year of my life and something like 2,000 miles either in a canoe or on foot.
14.) I've been north of the Arctic Circle many times, but never south of the Virgin Islands.
15.) At one point I had over 136 freckles on my face alone. My friend counted them one day.
16.) I am absolutely terrified of cockroaches. Centipedes too come to think of it.
17.) I refused to eat pizza with cheese on it until about a year ago. I would just get all the toppings and no cheese. I still don't eat cheese really except for sharp white cheddar. It has to be sharp. And White. I'm a cheese racist.
18.) I have hereditary high cholesterol on my father's side of my family, so I take 10 mg. of Lipitor every day, yup, the same stuff your fat old Grandpa probably takes.
19.) For about 5 years as a kid I wanted to be a Chef, I still entertain the notion occasionally. I use to bake pies, cookies, breads, chocolates, pastries, ect... and won a bunch of bake contests, like the ones your grandma probably is into. I still really love to cook!
20.) I've probably eaten a lot of things you have never heard of.
21.) In high school I gave tours at a former underground mine that had been turned into a mining museum. The area is known as the Fluorescent Mineral Capitol of the World", and we would take visitors underground and turn on special U.V lights that made the walls light up bright colors.
22.) I consider myself a far left-wing liberal atheist with occasional Buddhist/Karma-influenced tendencies.
23.) I once ran and swam over 4 miles stark naked, then ended up in mud that was so deep you would sink up to your chest if you weren't careful. I also was wheeled through Golden on a float once, mostly naked and covered in crisco.
24.) I once wore the same pair of Chacos for over 200 consecutive days!
25.) The First college party I ever went to I ended up rappeling off the side of a 50 foot high Castle Tower.
Well there you have it. Just a small glimse into my crazy, demented life. It just keeps getting better!
