    Ahh, fun!

    A Fact about me that always catches people by surprise is that I'm a huge Comic Book nerd. I've been reading Marvel comics since I was 6 years old, and I know way more about the X-Men 616 Universe (Wolverine's history in particular) than most people (men or women) I've met. I used to be the creator and owner of a comprehensive online database about Wolverine, called Wrathoftherunt.com, and was featured in Wizard Magazine for several years as a Subject Matter Expert.

    Nice! I dated an *uber* geek for two years. The kind that has way too many multi-sided dice? Yeah, like that. Well, in an effort to find common ground with him (he was practically allergic to the outdoors and sweating), I learned how to paint pewter figurines, play Diablo, and caught up with the Wheel of Time fantasy book series.

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

    When I was a child, my ballet teacher politely asked my mother to please remove me from the class and not bring me back because I was such a klutz! And now Zumba is one of my favorite things - HAH!

    I was supposed to be born brain dead or in a vegetative state.. the doctors tried to convince my mom to abort me.. clearly she didn't and they were wrong.. I was born perfectly healthy.

    I've never had a mani-pedi in my life. Ever. It's only surprising because I'm not THAT much of a tom-boy, and I'm 33!!

    I can watch a video game when someone else is playing it...
    i am from south India, and I talk Hindi really well(which is spoken mostly in Northern India). No one ever thinks I am from South India unless I tell them, or speak in one of the Southern Indian languages(which I know two of).
    I can read 4 languages and write 3.

    A lot of people are shocked that I can't have caffeine
    I'm partially lactose intolerant
    And I have texture issues

    So you could say I'm a picky eater

    I'm not an introvert or anti-social, but I prefer to be left alone most of the time. I enjoy my own company.

    I love my alone time. :) I enjoy my company too!

    I don't have much self confidence and i've always had a bad self image of myself.

    I hate sliced loaf bread. HATE IT. Even more so I hate soggy bread, just talking about it makes me gag to the point I will throw up.
    I am terrified when I am alone, day or night.
    I love swing dancing and am good at it.
    I strongly beleive all other drivers are terrible, they scare me. My own driving is fine. lol

    I compost. This is unexpected for most people because a) I'm not the a-typical person who you'd think composts and b) I live in a townhouse in the suburbs. I don't even have a yard, just a cement courtyard. So I...pretty much make my own dirt.

    I am one of very few country-born native Texans that has embraced Vegetarianism. Up until two years ago, I was big into the thick-cut Steaks and Potatoes, and I think it shocks my old friends from high school that I wont even eat Chicken now!

    I still cry when I remember some of my patients. One of them I took care for less than 1hr., can't even remember his name. I both LOVE and HATE my job.

    That, as a 51 year old accountant, I have Metallica on my iPod. I actually love music of all types from Jimi Hendrix, Janis Jopplin, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, Rolling Stones, The Who, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Queen, ZZ Top, AC/DC, U2, Guns N' Roses, Black Eyed Peas, Green Day, John Mellencamp... Ok, I can go on and on. But hey, I've got Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash on my iPod too!

    Well, considering fat people are stereotyped into being lazy, unintelligent, and other things like that.... I'm rather intelligent, and I work hard.

    I have four tattoos. You can onl see one.

    I have had 13 piercings (getting nose done again today).

    I used to train in opera.

    I live in chronic pain. You can't tell, I'm told.

    When i was 15, I got chased by the cops -in reverse- (panic'd- so i put it in reverse and hit the gas) for approx. 1/4 mile. Joy riding in my mothers car. i hid in the shower like a little girl. The cop let me go...

    1. I am petrified of pigeons and cows.
    2. I can write and pick things up with my feet.
    3. I drink lactose free milk but eat loads of other dairy products.
    4. I manage to fall up stairs at least once a week
    5. I found out I had a half brother and sister two years ago (they're 9 years older than me and twins)
    6. I used to be a closet eater and hid food in my bedroom.
