one interesting/ random or unique fact about you? :)

My husbands brothers are all married to women called Lisa, I am reffered to as number 2 (Charming I know) because I came along 2nd. Strange but true.

My brother's name is Michael, and his wife is (obviously) married to him. Her sister is also married to someone named Michael. Their father's name is Michael, and their cousin, who is like a sister to them, also married someone named Michael. I would not be surprised if their daughter (my niece) married a Michael, but she's not even 5, so she's got some time to find one

My father, his brother, and his sister (three kids total, who are of Italian and Austrian descent) married people of 100% Polish descent. So me, my siblings, and all of my paternal first cousins are of the same heritage (1/2 Polish, 1/4 Austrian, 1/4 Italian).

I played ice hockey when I was in high school. Most men are impressed by that, even though it was on a women's team.

When I was younger (until age 12), I was a competitive artistic roller skater - just like what you see on the Olympics for figure skating, except it was roller skating instead of ice skating. There is an entire league for this, and it is worldwide. Tara Lipinski (US Gold Medalist in figure skating) started out in roller skating, and I used to compete against her regularly. I beat her once, and I'm sure my mom has photographic proof somewhere that has yet to be found!

I can wiggle my nose without using my hands and/or moving anything else on my face. Not Samantha-on-Bewitched style, but I can wiggle the tip of my nose up and down.

I pick up accents very easily, and I often code-switch (the ability to use or not use a particular accent). For example, I live in the southern US, but I am from the northeast. I quickly picked up the accent here and use it when speaking with others who have the accent but otherwise drop it. I have a tendency to mirror the person or people with whom I am speaking. I do not, however, pick up foreign accents or accents I'm not a huge fan of (NY, Chicago, etc.) but can do them after listening to someone with that accent for a few minutes.

The money in my wallet must be in order based on demonination and all the bills must be facing the same way. If it is not this way I begin to panic.

I don't panic, but I do this, too.

I'm probably the only guy in the country that hates watching sport on TV. No football, no baseball, soccer, tennis, golf none of it. I only watch highlights of the Tour de France, and I love cycling! I couldn't even tell you who is on any team. Don't know, don't care.

You are my kinda guy! I live in one of the biggest sports towns ever (Pittsburgh) and I could care less about any of it!

My husband does not watch sports at all - and it is AWESOME!

I was born, raised in Key West, FL (4th generation) so I am called a "CONCH" A conch is an edible sea creature that lives inside of a beautiful shell called a conch shell. My family migrated here from the Bahamas. We are the southermost city in the Continental US.

Hmm one unique fact about me... well I've had a streak of gray hair ever since I was 13. Totally made my mother nature and not man (or bottle) ,made. Sucked too.... imagine the cruel kids.

I saw an episode of How the States Got Their Shapes recently that talked about Key West and how it "seceded" from the US very briefly

On that note, I am from Central NJ... which is funny because NJ is such a small state, yet we do tend to split it up. People from South Jersey say I'm from North Jersey, and people from North Jersey say I'm from South Jersey - so I know I truly am in the middle - and people from where I'm from generally say they're from Central Jersey. It takes a similar amount of time to get to NYC as it does to get to Philadelphia. But I did read a few years back in a book about NJ that in the 80s there was a referendum to make South Jersey its own state, and it passed. However, it did not lead to anything. I have no idea if my hometown would have been included in the new-New Jersey or in South Jersey!

My hometown is that of Bruce Springsteen, if you're curious

I don't panic, but I do this, too.

Me too. If I pay in cash, or get cash back, I will purposely check the money and if it's not all facing the same way I have a bad habit of making a funny face and fixing it in front of the cashier. I've had some apologize for frustrating me before :embarassed:

I twirled baton for 7 years, mainly in recitals and parades. I hated the parades because the outfits were super skimpy and it was FREEZING outside (usually during fall/winter). I can twirl a MEAN fire baton, or atleast I could... its been awhile.

I'm a horse trainer. I have essential tremors so my hands shake a little all the time. I used to show dogs. I used to be a national park ranger and I unknowingly gave a ranger talk to Sean Penn and his family (did you know he's married to Jenny from Forrest Gump?).

can't resist adding a little thing, a story about my hubby and I. Our first date was to his sister's wedding when we were just 16. I caught the bouquet, he caught the garter. It turns out that we were born in the same hospital, our birthdays so close together that we were in the same hospital nursery at the same time, his mom used to work with my mom. and no, we were not from a small town, same city though.

That is really fun! My father and husband's father work for the same company in different states when we meet. Our mothers have the same first name and our paternal grandmothers do too!

LOL - oh! names...my name is Carolyn. my sister-in-law (husband's brother's wife) is Carolynn.
I forgot to mention, My oldest son and I share a birthday. A good friend of mine shares her birthday with her oldest son as well.

amccrazgrl

I was a twin. She died at 10 days old.
My last 2 toes on each foot are way short.
I'm related to Lefty Groves (baseball), Prince Charles and John Wilks-Booth.
I have one white hair in my eyebrows.
I have a scar on my lip from a "hemangioma" that I fell and busted when I was 2 and most people don't notice it till they have known me for years.

- My eyes changed from blue to green when I was 3 years old. The doctors told my parents it was impossible for eyes to change that late and there must be a mistake, but we still have my baby pics from my 3rd birthday party with bright blue eyes.

- I met my SO online and graduated college about 6 months later. I flew out to visit for the first time after graduation and ended up staying here, I’ve been living in Singapore for a year and a half now. That was my first time leaving North America in my life and my first time traveling alone. (and yes, we're still together and recently celebrated our two year anniversary :flowerforyou: )

-My mom was good friends with Billy Idol some years back. He dedicated one of his concerts to her and the fan forums spent the next several days speculating who "Sophia" was.

Only person in my immediate family who doesn't need to wear glasses, and my eyesight is better than 20/20.
My brother and I were born on March 13 and March 17, we were born 1 yr 361 days apart. People used to seriously ask if we just had one birthday party on the 15th.

Such interesting stories! Hmmmm. I had a lot of different jobs, mail sorter, cashier, stewardess, ice scream scooper, hospital assistant (for the elderly), counselor, teacher, researcher (science), waitress, secretary, receptionist (hotel), bank support staff and engineer.

I can only speak 3 languages (and 2 are fluent).

I can play the piano, clarinet and the guitar (maybe that is in the past, but I used to play those).

I am a decent down hill skier. I love playing any of the mario brother's games :-D, Donkey Kong and Banjo Tooie. I also play card games, and watch movies and I am a gourmand [I would love to be a michelin inspector].
