A virus is infecting the german blogosphere and finally hit me. Storch invited me to tell the world 5 things (secrets) no one of my readers knew about me before. And I always thought I live a somehow transparent life?!

Will I really be able to collect 5 things you didn’t know about me?

1) If I would have been born as a girl my mother would have called me by the name “Friederike�. Thank God I am a boy (man) and my name is Tom!

2) Well, Tom is not my real name. My parents called me “Andreas Thomas� and I really hate it if anyone would call me “Thommy� or “Andy�.

3) I walzed through the rain with a girl who is “just a friend� and will never be my wife. But we both share this romantic little secret now. Well, not a secret anymore.

4) I used to have a son. Well, he was a “foster son�, not my real one. He wanted me to become his father. He was a junkie with freaky bad parents at home (father in prison and mother raising a lot of kids alone). First I didn’t want to do that. I thought it was to much responsibleness for a man in his early twenties. But God told me to say yes and so I did. This fellow was my foster son for almost three months. Then he went to therapy and then sadly he fled from there.

5) I used to own almost every CD from Michael Jackson, until I was able to translate his lyrics into german. Then I threw them away. I was also a fan of David Hasselhoff, until I became a more mature teenager and this wasn’t the kind of music I wanted to listen to.

Whoever wants to tell us their secrets is invited to do so. Have fun! (And maybe trackback this post, if you do so.)
