4.I love to travel but hate to fly
5.Until last month I had never been to a music concert
6.I've been to the Tropic of Capricorn
7.I adore all things French
8.I still read Archie comics (wow, I'm such a geek!)

I miss Archie, by the way, now I have the urge to go out and buy some of those comics! ;)
Archie-reading qualifies you as a dork, not a geek. Sorry.
