Before a secret is told, one can often feel the weight of it in the atmosphere. - Susan Griffin

Can you feel it, steemians? :-)

It was Anja - @connecteconomy - (again) who inspired me to finally leverage the #funfacts tag. She published a list of funny facts about herself and at the same time encouraged us to publish ours. Now guess what: it took me incredible three months to finally follow her invitation.

Good for you I'm not running a witness. With my reactivity I would supposedly miss all of the blocks - haha!

Here we go: 10 things you probably didn't know about me... until today!

@surfermarly doing what she loves most (which is actually no secret)

10 (fun)facts about @surfermarly

...which will be now stored in the blockchain forever and ever :-)

1. Family: I've got two little brothers who're called Max & Moritz (like in Wilhelm Busch's famous Story of Seven Boyish Pranks).


2. Music: I love dancing on the loud speakers in clubs (if the DJ plays my song).


3. Awards: The only trophies I ever won in sports competitions are not from surfing: first (2010) and second (2011) in a golf tournament.



4. Fashion: I'm a girl, yet unable to walk in high heels.


5. Role model: The single most important man in my life is my dad.



6. Romance: If you ever wanted to especially treat me (like winning my heart), then you'd take me on a trip to Norway where we'd be fishing at the fjord all day long...🐟


7. Pets: At the age of 2 I suffered a trauma from a bad experience with a dog and was extremely afraid of dogs in general since then - until Tomy came into our lives a couple of years back. Thanks to my mom's Golden Retriever I rediscovered my love for these hairy friends.



8. Drugs: A couple of years ago at a summer party with friends I came in contact with drugs for the first and last time. That night I came to know The lady from the mirror with whom I had a longer conversation. I told my friends that I had met the most amazing person ever in my life, that she was so eloquent and funny. It turned out to be my own mirror image with whom I had a chat in the bathroom 😄 Other people told me that they were jealous, since they had taken drugs for years and never experienced something as cool as my story. So I thought I should leave it like that, since no experience with drugs would probably ever able to surpass this one, so I never touched it again.


9. Love: I believe in love at first sight. Two of my longer relationships (6 and 2 years) started exactly like that: with a big flash 💖


10. Sweets: If you were ever in conflict with me, you could fix it with a piece of apple pie (or a donut or a muffin) :-) Not only one day passes in my life without me committing one of these sins.

That was it... 10 facts about me you probably didn't know before :-)

Now I'd be curious to know yours. Use the tag #funfacts and let us know: which are your biggest sins, greatest experiences, best kept secrets?

The blockchain is yours :-)

Much love 💛
Marly -

EDIT / PS ref. point no. 8: Drugs are life-threatening. Even though my own one and only experience with drugs turned out to be a fun story to tell, the consequences of taking drugs may be irrevocable. Please don't ever do it, there are so many pleasures one can experience in life and that don't have any serious side effects on your health and life. Thank you!!!

Thanks for your valuable time!
