Five things you may not know about me....

I am probably the most stubborn person you will ever meet -my mother swears that she took me to the pediatrician when I was 9 weeks old, the doctor took one look at my chubby face and said you'll lead her to water but you will never make her drink... I'm not sure if it's the power of suggestion, my star sign, or just my personality that I was born with and cultivated but yeah - I"m pretty damn stubborn.. Just need to find a way to use this power for good... :D
 
I wanna play!!!

1. I have a freckle in my eye.
2. I'm terrified of midgets (sorry, Landonsbaby... don't take it personally!)
3. I can play the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and get to Kevin Bacon himself! * Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4. I've been on A&E.
5. I've had the same best friend for 17 years (which is a lot of years when you're only 23). There is no doubt in my mind that we will be each other's Maid of Honor when the time comes.
6. I've sung in the Duomo in Florence, Italy.
7. I'm the only woman on my mom's side of the family that cannot draw, paint or sculpt.
8. Tracing my family tree, I am related to the stable boy who held John Wilkes Booth's horse while he shot President Lincoln.
9. I was beautiful right out of the womb.
10. I was also a smartass right out of the womb...:D


*That would be, I can get to Kevin Bacon starting with me... I can't actually play the game for crap!
 
I do not usually do things like this but since I am in the mood and bored at work:

1. I am left handed and the only one in my family that is.
2. I have stuttered my entire life and have overcome this 99% of the time
3. I fell 25 feet off a roof when I was a carpenter and did not break a bone- I was back at work in 2 days but broke my collarbone while playing catch with my father.
4. All the males in the last 3 generations of my father's side of the family except me have been in the heating and cooling business.
5. I never graduated college because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I am 33 and still don't know.
6. I am the most cynical person anyone I know has met. I truly am a crusty old man at my age.
 
5. I never graduated college because I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. I am 33 and still don't know.

There are people who are twice your age who still don't know :)

You have some time to figure it out still...
 
and you still are :)

hahaha... when I was born, I was born three and a half weeks late with jaundice (most likely from being born late) and I didn't have hair until i was 2... now I'm rarely late to anything, can't get color to save my life (unless lobster red becomes an acceptable skin color), but I do have a head full of beautiful hair... my genetics kicked in something positive for once!
 
So how tall are you, if you don't mind me asking?

Where was this?

I'm 4'9". The average for women is about 4'7" without treatment. Honestly, if I were a man it would totally suck but since a woman, its not that much of an issue. Sure I can't reach things on the top shelves at the grocery store and shopping for clothes is an irritation but other than that its not a problem. People don't look at me and think of me as a dwarf. I'm mostly proportional (okay, well, I have a huge butt but thats not really what we're talking about) so I don't stand out in that sense. I would think I look almost normal, since there are a LOT of women my height but I do get stares and I get a lot of people who ask me how old I am. My husband and I went to the movie theater one night and the ticket sales girl tried to sell him one adult ticket and one child ticket. I don't know if she thought he was my dad or a pervert.

I should say, there WERE issues when I was a child and my idiot doctor should have told my parents exactly what was going on but he didn't. They would have understood a lot more had they known.

The school I went to was small private school in Ohio. Mine wasn't the smallest graduating class they've ever had. A few years they have had just one student graduate. One of my best friends was Valedictorian by default. She was the only one who graduated that year. :smilielol5:

Cool game.

1. I'm the only one in 5 generations of my family with Blue eyes.
2. I'm the only one in 8 generations of my family with blond hair (well, what remains is still mostly blond).
3. I've never broken/bruised/cracked/fractured any bone or cartilage.
4. My Fiance decided that instead of a week long cruse to the Bahama's, she'd rather go on a 5 day hike in the White Mountains - with our two dogs.
5. I was born with a big freckle on my nose, and it hasnt grown at all since then.
 
1. I can read and translate Latin and Ancient Greek.
2. I have relocated dislocated fingers, and set broken fingers without much blinking, but if I see myself getting a shot or blood drawn, I'll pass out in seconds, and all the 4'10 80 pound nurses love getting crushed by giants.
3. I still haven't paid the taxes on my car for 2007, and have been putting off doing it because I have no idea what to do, as I never even got the sheet in early 2007 to report that I had a car in that county, so now I am stuck unable to get a new license plate in my new state because I can't show that I paid taxes on the car (because I didn't)
5. I can't count well

My accident history is always a topic of discussion at family picnics and whatnot.

I hear you there, brother.
1. Trip down the stairs in the walker as a baby... broke my nose and cheek on the cement wall
2. Broke my nose getting headbutted in wrestling, got it stuffed up, got it headbutted again seconds later
3. Got my fingers caught in the facemask of someone's football helmet when they ducked in 7th grade. Instead of being rational, I just put my other hand on it and pulled as hard as possible... Left middle and pointer fingers broken and dislocated.
4. While kleeted in, I got my ankle bent over a helmet, breaking my foot my last football game senior year in highschool. I hopped out, had it taped up, popped two pain killers at half time that I had left over from a recent injury, and went back in to the game.
5. a couple months after that ankle injury, before the first wrestling match of that same year, a freshman challenged me to my varsity spot, and the coach made me either wrestle him or give up the spot. I toyed with the kid for the whole first period, just trying to keep my ankle out of the equation. He won the toss for the start of the second and chose top, and ankle-picked my bad ankle (grabbed and pulled up) on purpose, not quite breaking it, but causing me a ton of pain. I screamed, bucked him off of me, threw him, jumped on top, and drove into him as hard as I could, breaking my weak ankle again.
6. While catching someone falling from a big height, my buddy didn't bend his knees at all, but ended up headbutting me, sinking his teeth into the skin right above my eye, tearing it off so it was hanging down over my eye. The trainers at the gym didn't have any anisthetic on hand, so I just told 'em to sew it up without any. I tell that story now to sound tough, but if you ask them I whined like a 3 year old girl the whole time.
7. While doing backflips, I ended up slipping and not getting around all the way, so I put my hand down to try to stop myself, and bent my hand in half, splitting my longfinger metacarpal in half and driving the top part up partway into my wrist.
8. While drunk on the beach, play fighting my uncle turned into a real fight. I pushed his face in the sand, realized I'd gone too far, let him up to appologize, he started swinging, and I tried to throw him... no real footing for that on the sand, so we both went up and came down on my shoulder... seperated, dislocated, and I tore the muscles off of it.
9. Drunk and running through the forest after a long day of floating down a river drinking only beer in the july sun of Missouri... I misstepped and took a sharp stick about an inch into my calf. I kept going, not really noticing much till I got back to the fire, and my socks were all wet. Pouring vodka into the hole and trying to cover up the hole with a couple of star wars bandaids I found in my truck seemed like a good idea at the time to fix it.
10. Screwing around with a couple of girls, and one of 'em kicked at me, and I went to catch it, and she caught my pinkie finger wrong. Broke the long bone in the digit, and dislocated it at that knuckle. I popped 'em back in, trying to act tough in front of the womens. I did it wrong, didn't see a doctor about it till much later, and now I have poor mobility in that finger, and that finger pops out at that knuckle (great party trick).
 
1) I collect beach rocks, I love them.

2)I love to write. I've been almost done with my first book for the past 8 months, but at this point in my life I'm haveing a block of sorts. The irony is I can't spell, lol, but I do spell check for the books...

3) Hated to read as a child, used to skip school the day a book report was due, to then fake the book report by skiming. Now I love to read. Just finished The Road, it was so so..
4)I love video games, I can kick my son's buts, they love it, but hate it at the same time, lol. Umm yeah, and The Sims2, which I've been playing a lot latley since the seperation...ummm yeah.

5)Ahh give me a good movie any night of the week and I'm a happy girl! My faves are. The Lord of the ring series, The Matrix series, anything with Ben Stiller, Tom Hanks, and Will Smith.Latest movie I fell in love with... I am legend..

6)We were going to adopt a baby 2 years ago.He was my young friends, who was makeing very bad choices with her life, he was her third, the first two she had already given up. After we told all our family and our kids, then next day she changed her mind, after two months of us takeing care of him for her too. I haven't heard from her since. Told her I couldnt' talk to her anymore. I wonder if I made the right desishion, I really loved her.

7)My brother kicked my eye back in the sokit a little as a child, had to wear an eye patch for 2 weeks. I have a redish brownish small spot in my eye, that could be from the impact, either that or it's a freckle, though I don't think you can get a freckle in your eye.

8)I like to make things. Anything... Painting rooms, crafts with my kids, buiseness plans. I don't know, nothing in particulare, I just like projects.

9)I love to go camping and I love fishing.

10) I belive in aliens. Don't know if there green or grey or purple. But I think there is more then us out there.

11) I got into an argument with a police oficer, and got out of my car. Exactly what you are not suposed to do. I never got a ticket though, and that was the only time I was ever pulled over.

I love Stephen King, especially his Dark Tower series and how he pulls that into so many of his other books.

Most people who meet me in person are surprised I like him b/c I cannot watch horror movies.
 
1) I have a black rectangle stretching from my left cornea to the outer edge of my pupil.
2) My cornea's are 4 degrees higher pitched than the average person, thus I cannot wear contacts unless they are specifically fitted to my eyes. (And I won't pay $1000 to have a single year pair made)
3) I will be the first college graduate in my family, ever.
4) My Aunt was diagnosed with Polio at age 3 and has had no use of her legs since.
5) I met my mother on 3-31-1994 at the age of 14.
6) I have never met my grandmother and have 2 uncles and an aunt that I've also never met.
7) I have a weird habit of writing words in the air with my pointer finger on my right hand, in cursive. (whether I see them in writing or hear the word out loud)
8) I broke my middle finger on my right hand and sprained the other 3 fingers the same day - pushing a girl on this little wheeled seat in the gym my 3rd grade year.
9) A stranger tried to give one of my former friends crack in an Atlantic City Casino, and she took it. I no longer associate with this best friend from elementary school again because of it.
10) I have gone sky diving and had the weather been nice this weekend, I totally would have ridden the Zorb. :(
 
I wanna play!!!

1. I have a freckle in my eye.

That's crazy. Where is it on your eye?

2. I'm terrified of midgets (sorry, Landonsbaby... don't take it personally!)

Everyone with these odd fears.

I'm afraid of bees. But not terrified. I just swat like a madman if one lands on me. But that seems like a normal reaction considering how F-ing bad it hurts when they sting!

Plus when I was young I fell into a hornet next and got stung many times. I'm sure the fear stems from something to do with that as well.

4. I've been on A&E.

For what?

5. I've had the same best friend for 17 years (which is a lot of years when you're only 23). There is no doubt in my mind that we will be each other's Maid of Honor when the time comes.

I've had the same best friend for 21 years and I'm only 26. Same boat.... and I think that's very cool. I love reminiscing with him too. It's neat to say, remember when......

And be talking about something that happened in kindergarten.
 
1. I can read and translate Latin and Ancient Greek.
2. I have relocated dislocated fingers, and set broken fingers without much blinking, but if I see myself getting a shot or blood drawn, I'll pass out in seconds, and all the 4'10 80 pound nurses love getting crushed by giants.

Now that's the sort of list I'm talking about! Oh the stories we could share.
 
Ohhhh, that's a good one. Very personal.

What's the deal with not being able to stick to your diet? Do you think the parameters of it are screwed up? Or is it more of a psychological issue? Maybe this isn't appropriate for this thread.

I don't know.....i guess i'ts more psycho. A big obsticle I face is that my hubby, who weighs 400 pds, has no intention of loosing weight and makes it REALLY hard for me. Also, to take some personal responsiblity on the matter....I feel traped between wanting to really go for it (1200 cals) OR just cutting back....I'm constantly back on forth between the two. I know mindset is 90% of loosing weight and I really can tell the last couple of days that my mindset is getting better and prepared to loose.
 
1- I have have no talent in painting, music, singing, poetry, writing, speech, design/style.

4- I have worked in some of the most crime ridden areas of the country over the years and tend to have a negative outlook based on real world.

5- I'm lonely .

:nopity:
If i had the capacity for relating to other people's woes i'd be depressed right now.. however...
I dont recall this being a singles chatroom; Its supposed to be a thread about discovery, about stuff we don't know about YOU.. try something interesting.. like.. "i can wiggle my ears and my pec's in rythm".. or odd "i have a 3rd nipple on my left glute"...

I say we give you a mulligan on that post.

Not a problem. Seems to be a common fear for some reason. But since I don't have the "midget look" I doubt I would scare you. Unless you are afraid of children and small people in general. There are only a few people who even know I have a form of dwarfism so I don't think I scare people.
 
things we don't know are things we don't know - this thread was about sharing ourselves not about party tricks (there is a thread on party tricks actually.. ear wiggling would be a great entry for that.. :D
