    I have a 3rd degree brown belt
    I did 4 years of Winterguard in highschool
    I love World of Warcraft and Call of Duty (I can play for hours at a time)
    I may be obese but I am actually extremely picky about what I eat

    This is the best topic yet!

    I'm a survivor of domestic violence. I am extremely shy, but don't think I won't stand up for myself (I am a Scorpio). I have a poor memory due to a closed skull fracture 22 years ago and poor hearing due to a double ear infection 10 years ago that took 3 months to cure.

    i can snap my toes like people snap their fingers.
    I have a reputation of being a complete hard *kitten*, but would help anyone, anytime. (thanks for raising me that way, Gram <3)


    Great topic!

    I was a teenage mother.
    I never stopped going to school/college. Finally got my BA this year.
    I've never been outside of the US and Mexico.

    my biggest one.....when people meet me now no one suspects or can believe I used to be TWICE the size I am now, until I show them pictures and they are blown away by it!!!

    ^This. Except I'd have to search very hard to find any pics of me from those days.

    Also that I have Avoidant Personality (AvPD). I do well to mask it most of the time.

    I have Social Anxiety Disorder and am extremely reserved in most situations, but as soon as I am comfortable I am chatty and opinionated. No-one expects it.

    It took me over a year to say more than two words to a friend I met thru my brother. Now when we see each other she can't shut me up. :laugh:

    I'm 25 and I've never touched cigarettes or drugs, and have only been drunk maybe 3 times.

    ETA: I live in Las Vegas so you can imagine how available all of these things are!

    Ha! That's pretty much how my life goes. I started a course earlier in the year and the girl who sits next to me always talked to me and I never really said anything to her. She kept saying 'Why don't you talk? I'm gonna get you to talk.'

    Now I am pretty sure she regrets her decision because I talk too much.

    When I was in high school I got to sing for Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and I also arranged a song/sang in a quartet in front of 6,000 people for my graduation. I'm a reimbursement analyst at a hospital, but I'm just a music nerd at heart. :smile:

    I'm 25 and I've never touched cigarettes or drugs

    I can relate to this! It's often assumed that I smoke pot based on my "vibe," but I've never touched it ever. I'm just naturally a chill person.

    Growing up I was I was a 4H clown and I absolutely hate clowns.

    I am full of useless information and won trivial pursuit once in 15 mins.

    My mom made me take ballet when I was younger. I'm actually pretty good at it.

    I have one that happened again this afternoon.... I must sound really young because when I've had people call me that don't know me, when I've answered they phone they ask me if they can speak to my mother! I always say no, she's not here!

    I was the first person in my family (those we had communications with) to complete high school as opposed to getting a GED and the first person to graduate college, let alone with honors =)

    It's about breaking the cycle and using what's around you as a model - even if that model is just telling you what NOT to do.

    I can pick up things with me feet, I can also eat and type with my feet.If I ever lose both my arms I will be fine.
    Also if you go into my mpe playlist among all the death metal, goth,and punk rock you will find Britney Spears lol


    How'd I miss this?? I had a friend who could do that too. So cool yet kinda freaky to watch. Lost touch with her over the years, wonder if she can still do it.

    I was voted most school spirit and was probably the only cheerleader that spent her weekends getting muddy and shooting guns with some of the star football players....and I wasn't that popular either.

    I dunno about Anxiety disorders, but I'm sorta the same way. I won't converse much with someone I don't know well enough and I'll probably come off as anti-social but given enough time and I get more used to 'em I'll start talking more.

    I can be extremely boring, and my lawn mower is 37 years old.

    This is hilarious. Made me burst out laughing!

    I've never drank, smoked, or did drugs. I still have tons of fun.
    I'm the first one out on the dance floor and the last one to leave. And I will dance dirty.
    I speak Russian, Tat (a Persian dialect), Spanish, and working on Hebrew.
    I'm from Azerbaijan. Yes, it's on a map.
    I like and admire people who get their message across in few words, because I can't. I'll blab and blab and blab blablablablabla.

    I don't speak very eloquently. I'm all "uh" and "like" when I talk. It's quite a contrast to the way I write. People are usually blown away by my writing (fiction/non-fiction, not forum messages lol).

    Oh lord...

    I LOVE hard rock/heavy metal music....the more heavy guitar and screaming, the better. But when others are in my car or house, it's pop or hit list type of music lol

    If I hadn't become lazy, I would've played the flute professionally and was good enough to actually make it happen.

    I'm a complete klutz-I've been known to fall up the stairs and fall down while standing COMPLETELY STILL...

    People assume I'm great with money and numbers because Im a banker....but the truth is it hurts my brain to make change sometimes~!

    I don't know why so many people get surprised...but I prefer to drive a standard and I'm better at driving a standard than most of m y guy friends :)

    I have OCD and my biggest vice is security/locks. I have to check locks on windows doors and car doors like it's going out of style.

    That's all I can think of at this very moment..

    I give off a "good girl" vibe a lot ......and well I am...
    BUT most are surprised to learn I like some rap and hip hop most of the time... put a little Ludacris in and I'm bound to be singing along tryin' to act all gangsta...... HA!
    and even more surprised when they see my dancing

    I, too, have never done any drugs or smoked cigarettes in my life.

    I've been both a super girly-girl and a tomboy in my life so people tend to be surprised by me no matter what I do

    I was president of my sorority in college
    I have a pull-up bar installed on the wall in my bedroom
    I'm a huge car buff, will talk about cars and engines and such for hours if you give me the chance
    I love to mountain bike, rock climb and hike
    I read the Financial Times every morning
    I'm actually really smart, this one really seems to get people, it's like they've never met a smart young pretty blonde woman before
