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

I should be working on a paper right now, but I'll give this a shot instead...

1. Growing up I hated my red hair, now I LOVE it. I'm the ONLY one in my family with red hair.

2. I went all the way to India and realized I don't believe in God in the religious, omnipotent sense. While I was there, a 7-year-old changed my life. Her name was Laxmi, she had AIDS, and her parents abandoned her, but she was always taking care of the other children, smiling, and loving life. She made me realize that no matter the cicumstances, I can be happy. She has no idea how much of a difference she has made...

3. Both my parents are complicated alcoholics. My father moved to California when I was 10. I used to be "daddy's little girl", he won't even speak to me anymore. I just hope he's happy...
My mother spent my entire childhood trying to kill herself. She has terminal cancer now and suddenly decided she wants to fight for life and live...? She has liver cancer and still drinks. I'm the only one that knows she still drinks. I don't blame either of them for anything, but I forgive them for eveything.

4. I don't regret anything in my life. I wouldn't go back and change anything.

5. My brother hung himself with a belt he borrowed from me. I was in the next room sleeping, I blamed myself for so long. When I'm having a really rough time, I go to the cemetery and talk to my brother. Things always turn out ok after I talk to him.

6. I am very responsible, especially compared to my friends my age. I go to school full-time, work my ass off, take care of my family, and find time to have fun. I have no idea how I turned out this way. Hard work pays off.

7. I'm an artist. I love to draw and paint, but I won't admit it to anyone and get very shy about showing my work to people.

8. I love anything spontaneous. The more risk involved, the more I want to do it.

9. I am truly happy and love life. I love to make people laugh, take care of people. I have fun even when I'm by myself.
 
hmmm ok

1. I have been struck by lightning
2. I can strip and rebuild a chainsaw
3. I have a Diploma in E-Business
4. I have had internet access since 1989
5. I am a coeliac (wheat only)
 
:) Fun!

1) I have seven red freckles.
2) There is a tiny scar, which apparently only i see, under my left eye where my mother hit me with a doorknob because she didn't know I was following her and closed the door when i was little.
3) I want to be buried above ground in one of those drawer type things.
4) I'm not scared of heights but i freeze up when climbing ladders or step-stools with more than two steps.
5) I have a natural talent for target shooting. Bows, guns, slingshots...i'm awesome.
 
Well I am new here so its likely no one knows much at all about me.

1) I am an Australian

2) I am in the process of joining the Australian Defense Force to train as an officer. Despite top band school scores I dropped out of uni to get in shape to join the army as a Rifleman (the most basic form of infantry) because it was my dream job. On initial aptitude testing I got the highest scores my tester had ever seen and hence got shown an entry pathway where I could be an infantry officer!

3) I hate heights hence I am going skydiving in one month. As a general rule I try and do things I fear.

4) I keep my head shaved number 2. Always hated my curly hair :p

5) My ideal holiday is South America


@Bran - You mentioned WOW. I recently quit the game a few months back. I played quite a bit, was a gladiator resto shaman in a guild stuck on muru. Actually thats more then a bit, at the peak I was playing 10+ hours a day. Funny thing was I was losing weight while playing over 10 hours a day.


Brings me to point:

6) I am very competitive. If I care about something I bust my butt trying to be the best.
 
1) I never work when I'm at work... unless it's due NOW.

2) I wish I could socialise all day long, then go home and draw pictures and dance... kinda like kindergarten... yep, I think I miss it.

3) I hide the fact that I am very intelligent. I keep underperforming, due to the negative connotations I made to performing at school... the other kids teased me if I came across as clever... so I kept quiet... and stopped putting up my hand.

4) I feel that I am not being all I can be.

5) I am excited about life in general... almost all the time!
 
1. I constantly make lists, for any and everything
2. I use the word "swanky" alot, and not in meaning "posh" but as "cool and neat"
3. I'm 18 and my ideals about the world and my morals are all things from the past, I don't fit in with todays society. I'm living in 2008 but everything about me is 30 or more years behind the times.
4. I collect gnomes. Short ones, lawn ones, plastic, resin, colorful, plain, etc.
5. I want to join the Navy Reserves someday, it's a childhood dream
 
1. Born Latvian living in Ireland for the past 7 years
2. When I was a kid dreamed to become a coroner (weird kinda kid lol), still love to watch CSI and X-files anything to do with investigations, although work as financial adviser and love it lol
3. Only sleep on my belly, won't fell asleep on my back no matter what!
4. Only smoke when having a drink at weekends and never during the week
5. My name is Marina
 
5 things...

Ok, i am fairly new so here goes....


1. I am from rural (small town) New Zealand.
2. I used to be a Teacher (for 14 years).
3. I married my best friend and we are still madly in love.
4. I know Sign Language and work extensively alongside deaf children.
5. I am fascinated with things sci-fi and sci-non-fi.
 
wow, Shandy do you have a deaf friend/family member? I work with many deaf people; in fact half my workplace is deaf. Sign language is kinda prerequisite.
 
I went to school with a girl that was deaf. the teacher taught us a few words and I just kept learning on my own so that Christine and I could talk.
 
That's great! Do you still keep in touch with Christine?

I just woke up and it's time to do a treadmill session. I am totally motivated! :coolgleamA:
 
K let me give it a shot......

1. I absolutely LOVE Snowboarding!
2. My dad left my mom, me, and my brand newborn brother @ the age of 5. My mom worked 3 jobs, and we had no money for a babysitter for us. At 5 years old, I was left to babysit my 5 month old brother and myself. I grew up faster than wanted....I call him still today "MY SON"!! LOL!!!
3. I had my appendix removed @ 7 yrs old. My heart stopped two long times throughout the surgery. The doctors said I had DIED, funny part is, I did see the white light....:svengo:
4. At one point I wanted to be an artist. I've taken over 5 semester classes of NUDE drawing/painting classes. The first naked model was a 70 year old saggy ball man! :eek: I also make mosaics!
5. I have traveled to SPAIN, (my mom's from there), France, Italy, Hawaii, Mexico, Drove from Cali to Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, seen the White House, & Puerto Rico.
6. My ex boyfriend lost an eye after we began dating. He wore a patch our whole relationship (3yrs) after that, & I still loved him. Looks come and go...it's the insides that matter!
7. I went to a Catholic School from Kindergarden-12th grade! :)
8. I have a birthmark right in the middle of my bottom lip, which looks like smeared pen ink. LOL!!
 
01. I love making lists.
02. I was born in India and can fluently speak Punjabi. I have no accent when I speak in English. Most people are blown away by how well I can speak Punjabi.
03. I used to chew ice by the pounds, all day long, no matter what season it was.
04. I want to be a lawyer and am working towards that right now.
05. I'm an extremely picky eater.
 
Okay- I'll bite.

1. I have a rediculous obsession and love for my Seahawks. Win or lose; I've grown up rooting for them, I've had season tickets since 2000 and am a PROUD Seahawkers member!

2. I am a receptionist at Microsoft and have a love/hate relationship with my job. Being a receptionist there is like babysitting a bunch of 2 year olds. I'm surprised I don't have to spoon feed them.

3. I was a compedetive cheerleader for 13 years. I loved it, and miss it dearly. I take hip-hop and dance classes to feed my urge. Once I lose wight and tone up, I would LOVE to be on the Seagals cheer squad.

4. I am German and Native American. I cherish my Native roots, and have been researching my Native family histroy through geneology. I've traced my roots as far back as the EARLY 1900's, and am related to some of the original Tulalip Tribe members of Marysville/Tulalip, WA.

5. I'm got an unhealthy obsession with makeup and shopping :) Working at Nordstrom fueled the fire and would love to go to cosmetology school and work in a high-end salon and a makeup artist. I experiment with makeup every chance I get, and I love bright colors. I hate being boring and blending in!
 
Noone knows me, so I guess I'll type up a few things.

1. I rank #3 in test scores (SAT) in my state for kids my age. (Don't expect anything.) If you're wondering, I'm from Illinois.

2. I think public schools are inadequate for some people. (Yet, I go to one.)

3. I'm a huge procrastinator (literally), and hate it.

4. I don't act myself unless I'm tired. (Doesn't really apply online.)

5. In 10 months, I want to be able to run 5 miles without stopping. FYI, I can barely run 2 laps out of 5 (which adds up to be a mile) without stopping to briskly walk.

6. I am ignorant when it comes to peoples actions. (Such as, I refuse to continue to be someones friend if I know they do drugs. If they're stupid enough to do them, ESPECIALLY more then once, they obviously have equivalent intelligence of a squirrel, and I prefer talking to people who have common sense.
