    1. Like most, I am self-indulgent enough to like an opportunity to tell strangers 25 random facts about myself, regardless of whether they are interested or not.
    2. I have a degree in Linguistics.
    3. I have a Masters in Speech and Language Therapy.
    4. I am now a Speech and Language Therapist (or Pathologist for all you Americans and Aussies)
    5. I used to live in America (Durango and Vermont) and travelled all over the South and South West of The States in a Dodge van.
    6. My boyfriend and I are on a break, he doesn't like my insecurities, and I don't like his lies.
    7. I am part French, part Scottish and reside in good old England.
    8. My middle name is Marianne.
    9. I have a sister who is the complete opposite of me (tall, skinny, blonde, blue eyes, fair-skinned).
    10. I met my ex-boyfriend on the internet and he flew from Queensland to London to meet me for the first time on my birthday.
    11. I am passionate about helping people most misunderstood and pushed to one side by society (vulnerable adults, people with learning difficulties).
    12. I have a fear of dry hands touching most materials e.g. clothing (actually just gave myself goosebumps writing this).
    13. Linking to number 12, I carry hand cream wherever I go and if I forget it I constantly lick my fingers to stop them feeling dry (absolutely grim, I know).
    14. I find it deeply concerning that so many young women these days are intent on renouncing all ability to use grammar and spelling appropriately in order to be 'cute' and 'non-threatening' instead of feisty, intelligent and successful. For example, I die a little more inside each time I hear 'I'm super excite' or 'oh my God, I'm well jel'.
    15. I try not to judge other people (except if you fall into the above category, then consider yourself judged).
    16. I live in flip-flops and like to consider myself 'boho chic' but in reality I expect it comes across as 'left the house in a rush again'.

    18. My parents are Psychologists and my dad has published two books.
    19. I'm usually described as 'funny', 'hot-headed' and 'posh'.
    20. I am horrendously broody, but have little interest in marriage (divorced parents equates to child with wedding issues).
    21. I spend more money than I have.
    22. I am very tidy.
    23. I procrastinate e.g. writing 25 facts about myself when I should be working.
    24. All I ever wanted was love and romance, I still hope one day I'll meet someone with the same ideals.
    25. I am most irritated by people with no manners - if you're one of those people who tail-gates or doesn't thank people for holding a door for you, I'm judging you too!

    1. I love working in customer service and hate it all the same.

    2. I haven't looked in the mirror and been able to smile back at what I see in way to many years.

    3. When I'm home, I can usually be found in my pjs.

    4. When I sleep, I need to be naked and one light sheet on me. No pjs and no heavy blankets.

    5. I hate large crowds. You will never see me at a midnight opening for a big movie.

    6. I want to get back into running.

    7. I have and had only one real friend since highschool, and she lives 30+ minutes from my house.

    8. I want to dump my father out of my life for good but don't because it chances me losing my babysitter for my son.
    (My father doesn't show love for me like he does for my 2 sisters because I remind him too much of my mother who he divorced, and my babysitter is my grandmother who would never disagree with her one and only son.)

    9. Sometimes I missed my sleep habits before I got pregnant, even as unhealthy they were. 2 hours sleep, up to 48 hours run timewith work, games. 2 hours sleep. 48 hours run time. and so on.

    10. I watch the reruns of 'full house' all most every morning before I get out of bed.

    11. I might be one of the easiest people to get a gift for; I'll try to find a way for anything given to me, no matter how small or big. But I hate getting them because I don't expect them. I like and prefer the time spent with the person instead.

    12. I can't sit still. And I can't seem to sit up straight on the couch. I prefer laying down.

    13. I hate my in-laws to be always bugging in our lives.

    14. I love southwestern style foods.

    15. Even though I am with somebody, I wish I'd get hit on at least once. Last person to flirt with me is my fiance, oh, and the old pedifile that comes into my work once in a while. And yes, his picture and everything is at the local police station. Very creepy and sad that is the only person that is willing to give me a second glance :(

    16. I would love to but don't wear my ring to work for fear of losing it again. Yeah, lost it once and it was a horrible feeling.

    17. Sometimes wish my life went in a different direction. Only reason I wish not is for my son.

    18. Want better income but with less work.

    19. I love fall. Having a fall wedding. Wish fall was year round.

    20. Hate summer. hate seeing everyone else coming and going with short shorts and skirts. Barely wearing tank tops.

    21. I wear long pants/jeans year round. Havent wore shorts since I was 10.

    22. I hate winter. Hate wearing heavier clothing making me feel heavier and bulkier.

    23. I have 2 kids. I had my first kid with an ex-, and he set me in a bad emotional state and he didn't want the kid so gave him away to my aunt who couldn't have a second kid. Makes me feel horrible to this day.

    24. Told my in-laws to be about my 1st son, and my father in-law to be looked at 'his' grandson (my 2nd kid) and more or less accused me of cheating on my fiance (his son). I haven't talked to them since (been about a month).

    25. Wish I had my 1st son with me today...

    1. I am on my 2nd marriage - my husband is literally the only guy I dated after I separated from my first husband.

    2. I was 40kgs from the age of 15 - 23 and then again for the 6 months I was single at age 25. Living with someone makes me gain weight.

    3. My father was a diagnosed psychopath who was in and out of prison his whole life.

    4. I worked as a stripper for over 5 years. (I loved it although I am shy and have stage fright, go figure?)

    5. Trying heroin is on my bucket list, but I'm in no hurry.

    6. I run my own bookclub.

    7. I have no children and I'm grateful everyday that I have no kids.

    8. My husband would love for us to be in the lifestyle but I just can't. But I would do it to please him if I could.

    9. I don't have a best girlfriend which I am really sad about, my former best friend of 10 years dumped me for no reason in Feb last year.

    10. I don't have an addictive personality, which is lucky since there are a lot of alcoholics in my family.

    11. I moved out of home while I was still in high school, I was 17.

    12. I have travelled around the world extensively, including Japan, Thailand, New Zealand, Europe and 4 trips to America, and another USA trip already booked for next year.

    13. I LOVE facebook and hate people who criticise it or criticise people who use it.

    14. I love my husband and am terrified that he will die and leave me alone - he is 18 years my senior.

    15. No one in my life knows I used to be a stripper except my husband and former stripper workmates.

    16. I am writing a book, I write 1000 words a day, I plan to self publish online once its finished.

    17. I recently submitted an article to Cracked about stripping, they liked it and asked me to do more research and cite research papers but I haven't bothered so far - it's $50 if they publish it.

    18. The Passion of the Christ made me cry more than any other movie I've ever seen in my life, I was so upset I got drunk after watching it.

    19. My mother is a psychologist and is great at her job but she was a terrible mother and I really do kind of hate her.

    20. I am passionate and loving and I'm comfortable with hate, I once told a therapist that I sometimes hate my husband and his eyes nearly popped out of his head - I had to explain that marriage is all things. I don't get why people aren't comfortable with hate?

    21. I have trained with Richard Simmons.

    22. I once met the band Slayer - they said I was hot :D

    23. I have been married in Vegas twice - once was a renewal in the drive thru.

    24. I have suffered legal abuse syndrome - it was really terrible.

    25. I have also had PTSD which was very tough to live through.

    16. When i get uncomfortable my face turns bright red - nearly purple.

    18. I still like the same music I listened to in Middle/High School, NOFX, Dead Kennedys, TSOL

    Not sure why but this looks like fun, so I will git it a go.

    1. I am an ICU Nurse

    2. I volunteer at a Marine Mammal Center caring for sick and stranded Harbor Seals, Elephant Seals, California Sea Lions, Stellar Sea Lions, Guadalupe Fur Seals and Northern Fur Seals. We have one of our success stories in the San Francisco Zoo, and another one is going to the Navy this week.

    3. I love hiking and walking, and walk at least 20 - 30 miles a week.

    4. I live in Oregon on the Pacific Coast!

    5. I have both a son and a nephew in Fort Rucker, Alabama going through Blackhawk School. Both a week apart in classes! There is an 8 year difference in their ages with my son being 35 and the eldest of the two.

    6. I have traveled to all 50 states.

    7. I have lived in Hawaii, California, Montana, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, South Carolina, New Jersey, Texas, Nevada, Vermont, Oregon, and Alaska.

    8. I sucked at parenthood.

    9. My sister is my best friend in the world.

    10. I am terrified of heights, insects, and walking/hiking trails alone.

    11. I suffered with anorexia as a young adult until I was hospitalized and "learned" bulemia. After 4 years I beat the bulemia but changed to overeating, another eating disorder.

    12. I was a vegetarian for many years, still would be except I met my husband and he is a meat eater. After several years I started eating meat again. I have always regretted it.

    13. I hate my job, it is no longer about patient care! It is about scores, and numbers, and dollars.

    14. I am a DNR, meaning if I drop over in front of you I do not want CPR nor do I want anyone intubating me (sticking a breathing tube down my throat and hooking me to a machine to breath for me)

    15. I am doing the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in less than a month and a half. It is a 26.3 mile walk on saturday and a 13 mile walk on Sunday.

    16. I am rather stupid and prone to rushing into doing things without thinking them through, a prime example is my Avon walk, there were tons of places I could have done it but no, I signed up for Keystone, Colorado. The elevation in that area is around 9,000 feet. I live at 200 feet elevation. Not good at all.

    17. It is 2 am and I have to get up at 7 am for a nice long hike on the Oregon Coastal Trail.

    18. I love my husband.

    19. I love my dog.

    20. I fell asleep on the couch while doing this. and it is now 0725 am, I slept sitting up on the couch with my laptop on and in my lap.

    21. I was born in Hawaii.

    22. I suffer from seasonal affective disorder. Not a good thing when you live in a place that is cloudy or foggy about 3/4th of the year.

    23. As a young girl I learned to walk in a pair of shoes that were screwed to a board that was meant to correct my hips and in-turned legs, I wore corrective shoes most of my life untill I was over 17. I am still very pidgeon toed and have hip problems.

    24. When I make up my mind to do something, I do it, no matter what.

    25. I am glad I made it through doing this!

    Let's give this a try!

    1) I was born and raised in Scotland but have now lived more than half my life in other countries.

    2) I studied Modern Dutch Studies at the University of Hull and have a BA (hons)

    3) I used to live in the Netherlands - I speak Dutch to mother-tongue standard with a Rotterdam accent

    4) I also speak fluent German and Swedish, so I can read/understand Norwegian & Danish too. I also have basic French, Spanish, Italian and am self-taught in all languages apart from French & German which I learnt at school. I also did Russian at School, but have forgotten so much now :ohwell:

    5) I would love to be able to speak Icelandic and Turkish

    6) I have visited 12 European countries and the US (where I've visited 7 states + DC)

    7) I have been online since before the WWW was invented.

    8) I met my husband online; we got married 4 yrs to the day we first met in real life.

    9) We hired an old-fashioned Routemaster London Bus as our wedding transport to get us and our guests to/from the register office.

    10) I have two tattoos on my upper, left arm - one of which I designed myself. I would love to have more, but haven't found the right design.

    11) I suffer from tinnitus and have done for as long as I can remember, although I only realised that I did about 10 years ago.

    12) Despite my tinnitus, I have perfect pitch hearing, yet I cannot play any music instruments - I only discovered this when doing a lab test using phonics and pitch-forks at college.

    13) I am an ardent, died-in-the-wool ABBA fan and have them to thank for my linguistic ability.

    14) I am also an aficionado of the Eurovision Song Contest and have practically every single entry that ever participated; I have also attended the contest twice.

    15) Over 50% of my music collection is sung in a language other than English.

    16) I have 500+ CDs and way too many DVDs - have loads I've never watched yet!

    17) We have just adopted two dogs: a west highland terrier and a schnauzer.

    18) In a previous life I used to have a dog and six cats!!!

    I can't think of anything more :ohwell:
