\


Yeah- that was a FUN 21st birthday. Oh well, I have a healthy liver

like deathly allergic?

Well I haven't let it get that far- i've tried numerous liquors trying to find one that I can drink- and I always break out in hives and black out within a sip or two. No bueno. So i've given up.

Im glad you gave up!!!! goodness, that's crazy.

At 16 I was transplanted from the USA to a small Micronesian island called Saipan. All the amenities I took for granted (clean running water, consistent electricity, sidewalks, etc) weren't there. Probably one of the most defining moments in my life because it was there that I actually learned about how fortunate I was and that at that time (in the USA) I was wasting my education (started cutting school) and talent. It taught me how to take every opportunity and make the most of it.

Hey! I live in Guam... Practically neighbors

Guam was cool. At least they had a McDonald's there and I totally remember sitting down and relishing eating fries after a 2 year hiatus! And the Guam McDonald's is HUGE!

I had a fantastic childhood growing up on a teeny, tiny island (3 miles long, 1/2 mile wide) called Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Yokwe!

My dad served on the USS Kwajalein in WWII! I have a couple pictures of it that I found on the internet.

I was there in the 70's, but usually the only people who have every heard of the place are vets who served in WWII. The island was retaken from the Japanese as the US stormed across the Pacific in WWII.

Yeah me too- it's actually kind of fun to be the only sober person sometimes. The things you see and hear are AMAZING. =]

Lol so i guess I shouldn't really say this.......but.......


I slept with my high school science teacher and now we are engaged to be married.


I guess everything happens for a reason.

I had a miscarriage in early 1996 and if I didn't then it would have been a virgin birth....

I have an extra rib. It's located in my left lower neck, just above the collar bone.

I have had 12 miscarriages.

My 3 kids are different races/ethnicities. I have a caucasian son (biological). A hispanic son (adopted from Guatemala). And an Asian daughter (adopted from South Korea).

I'm a major game geek. And no, I'm not a female who says I'm a gamer, and either a- plays one genre, or b- sucks majorly (and no not a combination). I play pc games and console. My fave happens to be WoW as that's the one I've been able to progress with and do the most. (got an end stage raid character, many alts up there that I can play, 10k achievement points, and I pvp!).

Umm... other than that, the most interesting thing in my life is I used to be a major depressed girl who couldn't stand the thought of being the way I was because no one understood me and thought I was weird. Then I dunno what happened, one day I woke up and said "eff it, I rock and there is NO ONE like me" and since then, that was just that. I still get my doubts b ecause my friends poke fun of me for being the way I am, but yea... maybe I'm not interesting. Oh wait... I can't STAND regualr Mt. Dew... I'm told that's pretty odd.

Growing up and graduating high school in Saipan (we had 16 seniors) I learned how to live without TV, became even closer to my family and brother, fell in love for the first time, learned how to Polynesian dance and joined a performing group, was a teen radio disc jockey...........................I really hated moving there at first, but it change my life so much so because at that point in my life I was heading down the wrong road.

I didn't have eardrums until I was in elementary school.

Such a great story. God performs many wonderful miracles. It is hard to believe so many people don't believe. Have a great day!

I'm a funeral director but don't fit the typical "mortician" stereotype.

I couldn't walk until I was almost 3 years old.

As a child, I used to hide in the closet and eat sticks of butter. Of course, my mom captured it on camera every time she caught me in the act.

My oldest daughter had ovarian cancer when she was 16. It was a rare form that women that are usually in their 60's - 70's get. She had one ovary and fallopian tube removed.She is 24 now, healthy and has a son who will be 2 years old next month. Blessed she is fine now.

I don't like Mt. Dew...any of it.

I was addicted to pain killers for 2 years until my cousin passed away in September of 2011. I hit my rock bottom, and I was a complete loser. I've picked myself back up, put together the pieces, and am climbing back up to the top with the help of this website.

No tv here either. Never missed it and couldn't stand being indoors! We did get to see a lot of movies though. AND - I got to watch Jaws when it first came out.
