facts about yourself

A time out would be good right now. Walk away from the post, take a breather.

Ok, ok, I thought of a few more.

I love cooking and think I'm pretty darn good at it, but when it comes to baking (as in cookies, brownies, etc.) I burn everything!!

I'm terrified of driving next to semi trucks on the freeways. I just always feel like they're going to swerve in my lane. However, I have to drive at all times otherwise I'm a nervous wreck.

I was the starting pitcher on the Varsity softball team all four years of H.S.

I can't carry a tune to save my life. Seriously...I have the worst singing voice EVER!! But it sure doesn't stop me from singing as loud as I can when I'm alone.

I love Steve Irwin so much I even wrote to him. He sent me back an autographed family photo, and some other cool stuff. And of course, now I love his daughter Bindi's show. I truly admire that little girl.

I love Lay's Sour Cream & Onion potato chips.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching the Little League World Series! Once July rolls around I start counting down the days until August. I watch every single game and will even DVR the games I know I'm going to miss.

I love playing basketball, but hate watching it.

I don't really like the idea of zoos, but I still go.

Interesting thread

I lived on a 37 & 1/2 foot trimaran sailboat when I was younger with my mom, stepdad and stepbrother in San Fran

I lived in Hawaii for 3 years, where my stepdad had a pot farm...even though he was pretty high up in the Navy

I smell pot smoke and it takes me back to my childhood just like the smell of crayons probably does for the rest of you.

I have really ugly feet from ballet

I have a serious addiction to cereal at night...with 1/3 cup of sugar on top..it's gross but I have to have it. Probably why I'm so chubby right now

I am very flexible and almost totally in-offendable. Comes from living with navy guys and a hippie mom when I was growing up.

A 1971 superbeetle was my first car. I left it on the side of the highway when I ran away from home at 17 & caught a ride home with a group of harley people.

I hope my kids are nothing like I was growing up

I try to be June Cleaver

I have severe anxiety but meds help.

I am perfectly happy when I'm totally alone and I'm very independent

Care to make a trip to Wisconsin?

And I am the same way about semi trucks. I can not drive next to one. I have horrible visions of a tire blowing and it going through my windshield, or one rolling over on our car. Hate them.

Me too!

Me too!

Childhood? Takes me back just a few weeks. My dad's STILL a pothead.

So, I'm not alone?!! Most people I know, think I'm just paranoid. If I do have to drive next to one, I prepare myself. I sit up as straight as I can, my hands clenching the wheel, I speed up and just hold my breath til I pass them.

i cant stand the smell of fish food. i have some thats carrots or something and it smells so disgusting
i lose weight really fast. like, 4 lbs in a day
every year im in a school for the last time, something really bad happens
my school is incredibly racist
i have over 200 records in my house along with those old tapes
i cant sleep in my bed unless my bed is made
the last thing i have of my grandpa is a christmas card for 2006, he died 2 weeks later
i can taste the real difference between new york pizza and pizza anywhere else
i still have no idea how i passed chemistry last year. i copied my lab partners' labs last year and guessed on every test and still got an 82 for the year
i dont remember my house phone number anymore

I also LOVE Aniques Roadshow. I watch it like some people watch Grey's
Anatomy.

I never leave the house without my camera.

I'm a huge Motown Fan, especially the Jackson 5. Too bad cute little Michael turned into a friggin weirdo.

My favorite time of the day is at night, rocking with Avery while reading her a bedtime story.

I love baseball uniforms and think just about anyone can look sexy in them.

Ok, ok......I think that's enough about me. LOL!

I am grossed out by feet I dont like touching them or being touched by them EVER!
I have insomnia and have tried multiple drugs for it and still have it! I sleep maybe every 2 or 3 nights and only for an hour or two max at a time!
I am super anal about locking doors and check them ALOT to the point where people have noticed and know I am checking! It is worse when I am nervous.
I can't walk in grass barefooted the feeling of it makes me vomit!
I am terribly afraid of the dark!
I have stalked Travis Tritt and been chased by police more than once for trying to get on his tour bus! I love him!
Open cabinet doors freak me out!
I am afraid of birds any kind dont know why but have actually passed out because they get too close!
I can put my feet behind my head!
I only eat red jelly beans.
I cant have my food touch and eat only one thing at a time.
I keep a picture of my kids on me at all times in my pocket so that if something happens to me they are with me!
Sometimes I am so paranoid something will happen I sit up all night.
I sleep with a fan on for noise but the air can't hit me.
I wish bad things on my ex husband on a daily basis.
I hate wearing clothes and could totally be a nudist! (if i could just tone up my belly)
I didnt get my drivers license till I was 21 because I was afraid to drive and to this day hate driving.
I love to crochet
I can go for weeks at a time and not leave my house and be totally happy with that.

Ok, I admit, that is the first thing that comes to my mind. Or, some of those cartoons on cartoon network. Is Avatar one of them?

Sorta - It is made in America but is heavily influenced by anime, as is much of western animation today. Ben 10 even did a shout-out to a popular show called Naruto. The pic on the left is from the Ben 10 Christmas show, the one on the right is from Naruto.

That's an understatement. If you ever want to go to another, let me know. I don't know anyone else into anime and would feel a little silly going alone.

I thought of a few more

I'm terrified of spiders and once had DH (BF at the time) come from a bar and kill one because I was convinced it would jump at me if I walked past it to get to the door. I cowered on the bed until he got there and killed it

I have two tatoos

I sleepwalk and talk but mostly I clean in my sleep...which isn't so bad really

I have two pet rats

I really enjoy cleaning and I especially love re-organizing a closet.

I was in a long relationship with a married man (didn't know it for the longest time) who beat the patootie out of me. He finally beat me so bad that he fractured my cheekbone and I had to move out of state for a year in order to not go back to him.

I used to be a club kid

I used to smoke

I can't bear fingerprints on glass..window especially

My DH has no idea how often I play video games.

I love cooking

I think my inlaws are morons who just got lucky and raised a great man.

I am not a girly girl and never have been

I suck at sports

I have a birthmark

The thought of losing my mother to cancer is more terrifying to me than anything

I have always wished I could have curly hair

I wanted a nose job for years but I've finally accepted the big schnozz

I am fearful that my girls will be teased in school and that it will effect their self esteem like it did mine.

I have a clock in every room

I can't accesorize so I don't

OMG I'm not alone?!?!?! I get wigged out even going into the aviary at the zoo. Ugh! One time a bird swooped right above my head and I freaked out. I can't stand birds. Their beaks terrify me.


-I was a C average student in high school, but got a 4.0 in college...go figure
-I am a city girl and wouldn't have it any other way...Troy is a country boy
-My grandparents (on my mom's side) abondoned my family when I was a child because my father told them to treat us with kindness or stay out...they chose to stay out
-I live in the same city I grew up in...I'm a homebody
-I worked for the costume department at Camp Snoopy at the Mall of America for a short time
-I had a bunny named Fuzz Bucket growing up
-I also had pet rats, which were awesome by the way, but now I am allergic to them
-I can't eat fish, it's too "fishy"
-When I was little I stuck a pearl up my nose and had to go to the ER to get it removed
-I once swallowed a bee (it was in my drink and I didn't see it), it stung the inside of my throat and I had to go to the hospital because I couldn't breathe (near death experience #2)
-I talk, hit, roll, kick, and yell in my sleep (poor Troy )

Dang. I read thru page 3, but I just can't go on. This thing is too long! SO, I'm going to help by posting mine

I almost have a phobia about wet paper. I don't want it near me.
When I was in high school, I went to national competition for medical spelling.
I HATE swallowing sounds.
When I was little, I put spit between my fingers and toes because I hated how they felt dry.
I used to try to sleep in my shoes when I was little, also (for the same reason)
I wet my bed til I was 10.
As an adult, I have woken up eating several times.
I can burp louder and longer than any guy I've ever met (without drinking anything), and I can also fart on command.
I LOVE sports.
I HAVE to watch some kind of sit-com every day.
I'm an animal lover and have often wished I could open a shelter for abused/neglected animals.
There are some words, I can NOT say...especially a few select body part words (male and female).
Reality (true documentaries) scare me much more than fictitious horror films.
Spinning makes me sick, but I love going high and fast.
I have never been drunk in my life.
Ironically (given above post...BUT I wasn't trying to "do drugs"), I love the smell of some odd substances...ammonia, nail polish, spray paint, gas, white out, rubber cement, etc....when I was little, I used to smell them all the time. Now that I know they aren't good for you, I don't
I can't sleep if it's completely quiet. We have a high-powered fan that I turn on every night...even in winter.
I've never seen ET.
I hate musicals.
There are whole years of my life that I can't remember at all.

That's a few for now...

omg dana we have so much in common

Dana, I challenge you to a belch off. I would totally win. I impressed the football team in college. They heard me 3 floors up in the dorms. What can I say? I got mad belching skills.

I want in on this!!

Let's all record video.

Can I get Macie in on that? I can't believe such big belches can come out of such a little body

I thought of some more useless facts about me

I'm a pretty good poker player.
I had stitches in my tongue when I was five.
In high school I wrote a sports column for our local paper.
I buy cleaning products based on smell alone
I'm incredibly allergic to hay.
I have a knack for remembering phone numbers...if I call it once, I'll probably remember it forever.

Ditto!

I thought of a few more.

I see things almost every night when I'm trying to go to sleep, usually people.

One time I woke up my husband screaming because I saw two big white things fly above out bed. That was literally the most scared I've been in my life, and I didn't even hear myself scream. Dh said it was the most ear splitting scream he had ever heard.

I hate the word ingocnito (sp?) and cringe every time I hear someone say it.

In middle school I pushed a friend's teeth into the water fountain breaking them, I didn't mean to break them and I still feel horrible.

I don't have cable and only have about 5 channels but still find plenty to watch.

I got lost in the country when I was little trying to find the way back to my friend's house and ended up getting in with a stranger to get a ride back. Luckily he knew my friend's family.

Thought of some more..

I can't open my eyes under water while I am swimming
I have never ever done any kind of drugs
I don't get hangovers.. no matter how much I drink

Have a little heart shaped birthmark on my right thigh

A few more....

I was valedictorian of my HS class

I have over 200 birthmarks/moles/whatever you want to call them on my body and I get more all the time....a lot of my scrapes and scabs turn into moles for some reason

I haven't worn earrings more than 5-6 times since I was in middle school but the holes never closed...I can still put earrings in if I want to.

I have incredibly vivid, strange dreams all the time.

Most mornings when I hit the snooze button I fall back asleep and have a dream in the 10 minutes before the alarm goes off again

my leg is bowed
i want to die before my mom does... i cant imagine how bad ill react when she's dead

ive met the floss ring guy in nyc
my middle finger is shaped weird and the nail grows in square
i hate touching pencils
i got suspended for the 2nd time within a month!

I am the most boring person on this board!!

Me either, everyone has always made fun of me for that, but I swear, they just physically won't open

Oh, and I'm allergic to penicillen, cucumbers, bananas, melons, nuts and avocados. But I eat them all anyway
