Replies

1. I used to breed aquarium fish.
2. I was on the fencing team in graduate school.
3. I have trouble not falling down the stairs on stairs that have open slats you can see through.
4. When I was 18-19 I spent about a year hitchhiking all over the US with a couple friends.
5. When I am in Boston, and I ride on the green line, I refuse to sit on the orange seats, because a person's got to have SOME kind of a code.0 -
My 1st marriage ended when my husband came out of the trans-gender closet just before our 14th anniversary...
you are one strong lady I'm sure. wow!0 -
1. I have 4 children, and I actually delivered #3 myself in the front seat of our minivan.
2. I hate breaking rules of any kind.
3. I'm not good at keeping secrets because I don't really believe in them. I also hate surprises. Surprises are kind of just secrets that are 'supposed' to be fun. I like to know what I'm getting for Christmas, etc., and will go to great lengths to find out.
4. I'm not afraid of heights, but I don't like to walk over manhole covers, or subway grates, or go in tunnels, or over bridges.
5. I'm seriously afraid of rodents, but have no problems with bugs, spiders, worms, and other creepy crawlies. I actually think spiders are really cool, and will sit for a very long time observing one spinning a web.0 -
I love animals, especially dogs, more than I like most people.
I hate, hate, hate it when I'm in the middle of a food book, and get interrupted. You know, by things like my job, friends, family, etc. I have been known to forego sleep in favor of finishing a good book.
I cannot wash my face with both eyes closed. I wash one half at a time. I think this started when I first watched Psycho.
I put myself through grad school working 3 jobs(70 hours/week). The worst of it was the 30 hours worked over the weekend, with developmentally disabled adults.
I am so artistically challenged, I cannot draw two parallel lines with the help of a ruler.0 -
1. I'm pretty much a goody-goody, but I desperately wish I had just one rebelious bone in my body! Haven't found it yet...Despite being a people pleaser, if you cross a line, I will speak my mind. Especially when it comes to treating people and animals the right way!
2. I am a huge baseball fan. Although I have no athletic ability to ever play competitively , (well softball, since I'm a girl! ha!) Texas Rangers are life!!
3. I love anything that gets the adrenaline pumping!!! I'm skydiving this summer, flew a plane last year, and have a secret dream of becoming a racecar driver!
4. If I could be good at just one thing, it would be singing, hands down. Aside from my dream of racing, I'd want to be a professional singer. Taylor Swift is my idol. I know how cheesy it sounds, but that's me!
5. Although I have several dream solutions, this is how I would love for my life to go: Spend my young adult life traveling the world and working as a photographer (of wildlife or sports ideally), have a ton of crazy adventures, then get married and have kids, move to wyoming, buy and run a therapeutic riding center, then after my kids are grown, retire and travel the US with my husband visiting all the mlb ballparks!!! Ridiculous, but totally perfect in my mind

Wow.. I thought I was the only person alive... ! I hate the feeling of unsanded, unfinished wood. Popsicles seriously make me gag. Ew.1. I have a phobia of touching raw wood. Things like coffee tables and such are alright, but any kind of skid at work, or just raw lumber gives me chills up my spine, and I can't touch it at all. Not only does this stop me from eating any kind of ice cream on a stick, but at my son's parents dinner at school last month, I had to get a napkin to stir my tea as the stir sticks were wooden.
so... 2. I've always chewed the insides of my cheeks/lower lip when stressed, but it's recently gotten much, much worse. I can't seem to stop unless I'm talking or chewing. I even find myself doing it in my sleep. I have less stress in my life than I have in years.
3. I'm so incredibly disgusted by pet hair that when I visited the house of a friend who has 4 dogs (5?) and 3 cats I started sweating and coming up with reasons I had to leave right away. I wanted to immediately put my clothes in the washer and take a shower.
4. When my mother was still pregnant with me, my grandmother had a dream that my life was in danger because the umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck. When I was born, it turned out it was. Twice.
5. My grandfather's brother was part of the 101st Airborne Division of the Army. He parachuted into Holland during Operation Market Garden in 1944 and was never seen or heard from again. In 1994, a Dutch guy who just really loves history and admires the Allied soldiers found his dog tags and then remains in a farmer's field, after he had spent hours upon hours, multiple days, combing the same spot. After authentication, etc., the remains were returned to the US and our family traveled to Arlington for a proper funeral and burial. It was the first time I remember ever seeing my dad and grandpa cry. The Dutch gentleman named his daughter after my uncle. I don't get many opportunities to tell that great story.0 -
1) I actually look forward to going to the dentist. I never feel more relaxed than when I am in the dental chair.
2) I have an irrational fear of the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz. I won't let my kids watch it if I'm home.
3) I once worked as an on-air radio personality.
4) I have read at least 50 books a year for the last 20 years.
5) The proper usage of the semi-colon is the thing that confuses me most in life. And I have an English degree.
We are twins (except the on-air personality thing). The flying monkeys are just the worst. I pretend I know how to use the semi-colon.0 -

1. I have two tattoos. One is the initial and birth date of my son (on my inner left wrist), the other is the Majesty symbol, which is the logo for the band Dream Theater (top centre of my back, between my shoulder blades, just below the base of my neck). if and when I have another child, their initial and date of birth will go on my right inner wrist in the same font as my son's.
2. I've had a really weird mix of jobs - everything from night club bouncer, to cinema manager, to hair model. I also used to run a theatre company, and while there was involved in every aspect of theatre from acting, singing and dancing, to writing, directing, choreography,wardrobe, set and scenic design, prop making and vocal coaching, to promotion, advertising and ticket sales.
3. I was on the stage from the age of three, and quit when I was 23, despite making a fairly decent living from it. I eventually quit because I got sick of moving around and wanted to settle down. I also have the world's worst memory, which made learning lines an absolute chore. Oh, and I suffered major stage fright too - LOL! I figured 20 years in one business was plenty long enough!
4. I have weird feet. The little toes on both my feet look like they're on sideways. My second toe on my left foot is slightly longer than the big toe next to it, and on my right foot, my first three toes are the same length. I broke the fourth toe on my right foot about a dozen times over a three month period - every time it started to knit back together, I broke it again by stumbling, tripping or knocking it against something. As a result, it looks a bit bumpy. I'm not awfully fond of how my feet look, but at least they don't smell!
5. I am allergic to loads of things - feathers, fur, animal dander, animal saliva, pollen and dust are the main contenders. Actually, any kind of powder is enough to set me off. I also have an allergy to laundry powder/liquid. As a result, my skin is pretty bad on all those areas you usually have covered by clothes. In the summer, my arms get marginally better, but not entirely because I still have to sleep on sheets and use towels. I periodically switch laundry powders/liquid and it will get better for a while, but at some point, it inevitably gets worse again as my skin decides it doesn't like that one either.0 -
1. I can kick myself in the a** with my left foot but not my right.
