    I meet my husband online back when most people didn't even have a computer in the house! He proposed over the phone before we even meet in person. We eloped to Vegas 4.5 months after meeting in person. Married on April fool's day. :bigsmile: 17 years and still going strong! :love:

    A local magazine included it in their unique engagement stories last year. :happy:

    I very nearly became famous, i got through the final auditions for 'gladiators on ice' (when the normal gladiators was big on tele) i was in the training stages where we tried out all the potential games and the final main obstacles course, but it got cut at the last minute as there were too many health and safety issues with the skate blades.

    Great to hear someone have such a fantastic result to online dating.
    My guy and I met online 12months now, still going strong, moving in together :heart:

    Random fact about me: I tend to jump into the deep end of something, thinking "yep I can do this" and then find myself doggie paddling like mad :laugh:
    Example: other person "Hey can you make a Clydesdale soft toy for me?"
    My response: "Yeah sure not a problem"
    Thought process: How the hell do I make a horse, oh well better start...days of drawing, stitching and cursing (oops) ensues...
    Result: One Clydesdale horse delivered...happy customer (Phew) :wink:

    I carried the Olympic torch during the run across Canada in December 2009. I still have my torch on display in my home office, in a display case with my uniform and some mementos from the run.

    Wow, some of these as amazing!!

    Something about me? It's hard for me to continuously run or jog because I have bad knees, I think. (Everything will be fine, and my knees are BURNNING. I quit, and 2 minutes later it's like I havent ran at all.. so, bad knees?) Also, I'm in love with Panda bears. I want a baby one sooooo bad.

    I once had my car in the body shop and when I got it back I was driving to pick my boyfriend at the time up from work. I felt something tickle my knee, when I went to scratch it I felt something hard. So I grabbed the hard thing and clutched it, while still in my pants, for two more miles until I got to his job. When I got there him and a bunch of guys were standing around, I got out and said "hold on, there's something in my pants", shook my leg, and out fell a dead mouse. :blushing: Guess I squished his head when I was clutching him. The boyfriend and all his friends cracked up. We later found the mouse had been nesting in my glove box at the body shop.

    I was adopted and my adopted father has a cleft lip/palate. My husband was also adopted and we have a daughter (not adopted) who happened to be born with a cleft lip and palate. How ironic is that?

    Oh, and I have 2 club thumbs.

    I am an American that knows every word to the *Canadian* national anthem.

    Me too :laugh: What's your excuse? Mine is that I grew up 45 minutes from the boarder.

    I triple majored in college (trombone, piano, intercultural studies), and minored in German. It took me 5 years. Craziest thing is that I did my INCL major in 3 semesters (plus the semester doing my minor). Oh, and I pulled off my minor having only taken German 101 and a 6 month study abroad :noway: Don't ask me why or how, because I have no idea

    @Amber, that is so awesome! I know my way around some power tools (mostly saws, which is weird...) but to be able to do it all--that's amazing!

    I use this fact all the time, so I don't know if it's really that interesting or random, but I've had *counts* 12 surgeries--most of them sports-related.

    In college, I lived on the top floor of a tower (7 stories up) and when the stupid high school townie kids would sneak in and set off the fire alarm, my roommates and I would sneak up to the door that led to the roof and prop it open for later. Then, we'd drink, drop acid, whatever and head to the (supposedly) locked roof-top, fire door and hang out.

    I rode on a Mardi Gras float in an attempt to get a kick-*kitten* set of beads. I got kicked off the float...but I got the beads!

    I am very flexible, even at 245. My new doctor was shocked given how big I am how very limber i am. I love giraffes. Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?

    Im a classically trained musician. I play several instruments (violin, cello, flute) really well still. I can figure out pretty much anything else if I play around with it long enough.
