Strange things you probably did not know about me
Josefbugman:
Trying to make it interesting, as opposed to dull:
I played Washington Irving on stage and had to get so angry at one point that I kicked over a table, injuring someone else in the process.
I once bit a chav in the throat because he pushed a snowball into my face after a really bad day.
I spent a good 3 days last semester speaking only in old english to get into character for playing Chaucer.
Tom:
I have read Wiccan/Hulkling slash.
Inlander:
Hey, everyone, I believe the title of the thread is "Strange things you probably did not know about me", not "Boring things you probably did not know about me".
ViolentDove:
I still want to know why you were in the custody of the Russian police.
Inlander:
Oh yeah, that.
Nothing exciting. I was in a town near the Russian/Finnish border and I missed my train back to Helsinki. In Russia they generally only give you visas that last the exact number of days that you plan to stay in the country, so my visa ran out at midnight. The police pulled me outside because they thought I might be in the country illegally or something, but I managed to explain to them that I'd simply missed my train and I wasn't trying to outstay my visa, so after a bit of discussion they put me in the back of a police van and started driving me towards the border. The cop driving the van asked me for money but I didn't have much and the only A.T.M. we found didn't work, so he dropped me off on the Russian side of the border and left me to fend for myself. When I tried to cross the border the border-guards (Russian Army guys) stopped me, and after explaining my situation again they started asking every car that passed over the border into Finland if they were going to Helsinki. Eventually they found one that was going to a town about 70 kilometres away, and I got in.
So the army guys were much cooler than than the cops. Sure, the cops drove me to the border, but they weren't happy about it and they didn't help me much beyond that. The army guys hitched me a ride, though.
Unusual evening, that one.
