House

I could be wrong, but I believe that House likes to cook. If you aren't an ardent follower of the show, bear with me. This was surprising to me because he never brings leftovers to work, in fact steals everything he eats from others. If only a little, I thought that this detail added depth to the character; it added depth not because it was additional information about House, but because it was additional information not entirely in keeping with the rest of his persona.

Those of you who don't watch House may meaningfully rejoin the conversation.

Recently a Facebook friend, a bridesmaid from my brother's wedding, posted a list of things that many don't know about her. Of course, as I barely know the woman, it was all new information for me. I wonder what I would write on such a list. Meanwhile, my brother-in-law (Ben's blog is linked at the right) has decided to take up the building of mash-ups (remixes combining multiple songs into a coherent whole), a past-time not out of keeping for his character, but wholly unpredictable.

Now I bring it home. Why couldn't I think of something that people don't know about me, which isn't presently true, and then endeavor to make it true. I could take up a new hobby or accomplish something that one wouldn't expect from me. I just need to think of something worthwhile that I would enjoy/feel good about that would surprise people, adding depth to my character.

Suggestions?

What would people find surprising about you? Feel free to consider something which isn't yet true, but will be in time.
