Hmm, these were easier than I thought.
Name a book you own that nobody else on your friends list is likely to: Undertow by Thomas Rendell Curran. That's my Dad. He finally fulfilled his lifelong desire to write a murder mystery a couple of years ago. He even got nominated for an Arthur Ellis award, though he didn't win it. I took the photograph of him on the back cover - I got a photo credit in the second edition. :-)
Name a CD you own that nobody else on your friends list is likely to have: Day by Day by Bet.e & Stef, a bossa nova jazz duo from Montreal. I think they've split up, more's the pity. Also, I have more Monkees CDs and vinyl albums than anyone you know. Trust me on this.
Name a VHS tape/DVD you own that nobody else on your friends list is likely to: The 1992 Yates Cup where the University of Guelph Gryphons trounced the University of Western Ontario Mustangs. I'm a Guelph alumnus (twice) and we Gryphons really don't like Western. The Yates Cup is the Ontario championship in the Canadian university football league. Some of my interests are truly obscure.
Name a place you've been that nobody else on your friends list is likely to: Heiloo, a small town in the north of the Netherlands. I used to date someone who lived there. Also, Beaumont Hamel in the north of France. It's a memorial park constructed in honour of those who died on the opening day of the Battle of the Somme, July 1, 1916. The Newfoundland Regiment was decimated on that day; my great-uncle Arthur Rendell was one of those who was killed. I was the first member of his family to visit his grave there when I went the summer before last.
