Interesting-- #19. Now that I think about, you're right.



20 facts, eh? I'll have think about that for a bit.

 

[okiron]

[Crystalballl]

If you like the VW Beetle. Then you should get a VW Rabbit! My brother in law just bought a brand new one. Such a cute car (he doesn't like me saying that) and it even has a little chrome rabbit thing on the trunk. I want one!!

Crystal

[MsBinky]

1) I've never broken a bone either but I have torn a tendon and sprained ankles and fingers from the stupidest activities. LOL

2)When I was a baby, I would scream if I weredirty. My mother said I drove her absolutely crazy. By the time I was 6, I was playing with worms and frogs.However, to this day, I am absolutely and completely grossed out by anything oily or greasy on my skin. If there is too much oil to my liking, even if it tastes good, I won't eat it.

3) I was an odd child. When I was 3, I would harass my parents to send me to school. They sent me to a playgroup instead thinking it was a phase. It wasn't. They had me tested and I started school at the age of 4 just because it's what I wanted.

4) When I started school, I didn't speak nor understand Englishmuch at all (and I was in an english school). In 3rd grade, I got the diploma for having the best marks in English. I was so proud!

5) I don't smoke. I never even tried one. I do drink but never have been tipsy. Never been anywhere near drugs although I have 11 prescribed on a regular basis :?

6) I used to read the dictionary and enjoyed it very much. I've also read manuals just for fun.

7) I've never been taught to pluck my eyebrows, shave, etc. It was sorta late when I figured out I had a bit too much hair on me And I can give a grizzly bear a run for his money :? (I now shave everything, arms included )

8) I love love love coffee and tea but unfortunately I am no longer allowed any.

9) I am the oldest in my family which explains why my siblings have it better.

10) I can't stand most types of cheese. I'll only eat something considered very mild.

11) No matter where I am, if there are kids around, you will find me with the kids.

12) I met my fiance online. He lied to me for over a year, and stood me up multiple times. I was determined to find out the truth.

13) I was sexually assaulted by fought him off and identified him and got his pathetic butt locked up. He apologized to me and asked for help with his drug addiction.

14) I have no clue how to put make up on even though I am interested in it. Lol.

15) I am very passionate about things I find morally wrong. Such as having a remedy for cancer but not producing it because of the costs or giving yourdog 12 millioninstead of giving it to an orphange or children's hospital etc. :grumpy:Nothing wrong with having your pet taken care of but i have limits!

16) I most most usually can't stand hanging out with girls though I do it because I am one.

17) I walk barefoot in the winter, and cuddle in my comforter in the summer. In fact, I never sleep without my comforter.

18) At 16, I had a job and was in college. At 17, I dropped college and had 2 jobs. I kept one of them for 4 years. At 20, I got engaged,got my appartment, and had 3 jobs for a few weeks. (I would have kept it for longer but I didn't like the owner). It's nothing spectacular but I am considered a rarity for my generation

19) I'm totally grossed out and freaked out over earwigs though I can play with spiders, snakes, reptiles, and most other insects.

20) I would be good at many things in life but I have only ever felt the true calling for becoming a mom. It has made numerous teachers and professors very frustrated

[MsBinky]

I seem to have developped a problem with my heart So I am not allowed caffeine as it speeds it up even more...

 

[maherwoman]

Here are mine:

1. I, too, have never broken a bone, but I suspect fractured one of my elbows a few months ago (still aches, and hurts VERY badly when something more than touches it).

2. I am VERY stubborn about going to the doctor...I simply refuse to go. Hence #1. I have several health issues that should be checked out, but I'd rather suffer from their effects than go see a dr.

3. I am 27, but have felt (and looked forward to being) 30 for at least ten years. Enough so that I find that I have to pause and think about how old I am when someone asks.

4. I've moved over twenty-five times. My parents are divorced, and I lived with my dad (who is in the Air Force) until I was ten. Then I moved in with my mom, who had an affair on my stepdad when I was in the seventh grade...and I spent that entire school year moving literally 13 times, following my mom between my stepdad's house and the house she bought with her affair.

5. I hate California, and have lived here for 14 years.

6. I never really wanted more than one child. So, my seven-year-old daughter is it for me. As a result of only wanting one, I've wanted to get a historectomy since she was born...especially because she was almost 10lbs when she was born, and I don't wish to repeat all the difficulty I had in having her naturally (they didn't know she was so big).

7. I battle between glasses and contacts almost constantly. I love the freedom of contacts, but I have incredibly dry eyes, so even the most advanced types are very uncomfortable for me. :?

8. I can get extremely focused...enough so that I can be in a conversation with someone and COMPLETELY forget I was talking to them, just because I noticed something left unfinished. When I'm online, I'm usually talking to friends on MSN Messenger, doing things here on RO, checking my email, handling the many pictures I take on a regular basis, and trying to handle various business things...all at the same time. I feel bad for my Messenger buds, because there are times that I get so focused on something, I completely forget about talking to them...like right now...hehe!

9. I sleep with a stuffy every night. I have a stuffy named Ducky that I've had since I was 3 (so he's 21...get that boy a drink! hehe). I slept with him every night until I was an adult (and even sometimes after becoming an adult, I have to confess). Now I sleep with Herbie the pig...a stuffy that my husband bought me a few years ago. Poor Herbie is already slightly gray from love.

10. I LOVE office/school supplies. I can't go into Staples without spending about $100, and the moment I walk in, I take in a deep breath...savoring the aroma of the carbon copies, paper, pens, post-its, envelopes, notebooks....oh man...I gotta go to Staples!! :biggrin2:

Hugs!

 

[maherwoman]

Ah...same here...between severe heartburn and mitral-valve prolapse (heart condition), I've had to stop intaking caffeine. :grumpy:

[Michaela]

I'll try ten, I'm not very interesting.

1. Start with family I suppose, I'm the oldest of five children, 2 younger sisters who I don't get on with, 2 younger brothers, don't get on with one of them, get one with the other sometimes. They all think I'm weird and don't like me. I'm not close at all with my extended family.

2. I'm not a very confident person, actually I'm really really shy. I don't like talking to new people, don't talk on the phone if I can avoid it etc. I don't see why people would want to talk to me as I can never think of anything interesting to say.

3. I don't really like people, I'd much rather spend time in the company of animals, people are hurtful, sarcastic etc, animals are not. I like my own company and will sit for hours at a time by myself just thinking.

4. I want to be a dentist when I'm finished school.

5. I came first in my year academically for the last 3 years ofschool, some nice shiny trophies. But I'm really weird,I don't work particularly hard for exams and that, I just take things in really well. I like Science and Maths at school, hate English, History etc.

6. I'm constantly thinking of silly things that hurt your mind if you think about them too much, and I like to make my friends think about them too. Like, "What if there was nothing, just nothing, no world, no universe, nothing. You just think it would all be black but how can it be black, colours don't exist....."LOL!

7. I love tea (just plain old tea, none of that funny herbal stuff!) and drink about 4-5 cups a day, which is bad, especially considering the amount of sugar I take.....:?

8. I absolutely hate smoking, it's disgusting and I'd rather not associate with anyone who smokes at all.

9. I'm way too sensitive to smells which make me feel sick, like Vanilla, OMG if I smell it...I cannot go near where they have all the smelly candles in shops. Also, certain textured foods will be me sick, like Mashed Potatoes...OMG even the thought, or Custard...

10. I don't like children and don't want any EVER.

 

[maherwoman]

Michaela...

Your answers made me like you all the more! And, despite the fact that you only did half the number, you gave loads of information!

I, too, love your basic tea...with LOTS of sugar in it. I don't normally drink it during the summer, though...too hot.

And I, too, am extremely sensitive to smells, but mostly chemical type things like cleaners, perfume, etc. Natural smells don't bother me as much...unless they're strong/overpowering.

[MsBinky]

"the movie 'my girl' makes me bawl. . . so does eight below, i have been forbidden to watch them as i get sooo upset"

Ooooh I cried soooooooo much in 'My Girl'. I was quite young when I first saw it and it hit me really hard. I still cry when I see it. I also cried like a baby in Dumbo when they locked the momma up and she rocked her baby through the bars. That image will last forever. I also cried like a baby in Bambi, was traumatized by Disney's Tarzan (and I was a teenager too! My family mocked me for days), and cried in Bridge to Terabithia.

I'm not considered someone who cries in movies normally. Never cried over Titanic or Armageddon, etc. But, you are definitely right about My Girl and Eight Below. Even Mario got all choked up.

 

[girlzilla]

it's so funny you guys should be talking about the movie "my girl". i saw it on sale on dvd at the shops this morning and i almost bought it, then i realised that watching it would make me cry my eyes out, like it always does. so yeah, i didn't buy it lol

the green mile makes me cry so much. i have it on dvd but i can't bring myself to watch it again. it's just too upsetting.

 

[MsBinky]

The one move I watched, that I can never watch again, is called Aurore. It's about a little girl who was tortured for yearsand murderedhere in Quebec. We even have an expression here in french which we use when children complain or throw tantrums... It translates into, "Aurore, the child martyre" and signifies that there is no child which can suffer like she did. I was screaming, crying, and shaking. I made myself sick over it. It hit me because it is a well-known story here, and knowing that none of it was made up just made me sick. :bigtears:How someone could do such things a child I will never understand... Sorry if I deviatedfrom thetopic, but you reminded me of that...
