    I am a leap year baby....and my parents picked that day.

    cool. I know you may get this alot, but I have always wondered on what day do ppl that are born that celebrate their bday on a non leap year??

    I would say that it would be March 1 since technically that is 365 days after the previous birthday. Though, of course, if I could swing the two day b-days I would do that too! ;)

    C-section? Induced? Or just lots of planning and a 4 mile walk the night before?!

    I get a two day birthday every year there isn't a leap year. It is by far the best option.

    Cool!!! I think so too.

    In 5th grade, I could ride a unicycle while dribbling and shooting a basketball.

    I think I missed my calling to join the circus :sad:

    I always wanted to know a circus freak... :laugh: They just lead an exciting life :noway:

    Oh and my random fact is that I moved to Arizona 3 years ago for my job...but I moved with having no family or friends living anywhere close to me. In three years I have yet to meet someone I can really call a friend...except my roommate...but she doesn't count I knew her from CA.

    Don't feel bad! I have been in TN for nearly 4 (after being here a while back for 4 additional years in college) and don't really know anyone either! I HATE hanging out with moms. I have a young son so non-moms don't work either. I don't work in an office anymore so no coworkers. People I do come in contact with (ie gym) are usually about 10-20 years older than me and have nothing in common and most people my age I just find too high maintenance to bother with. Plus I hate going out.

    I was a C-Section and they scheduled it for a Friday that the doctor was in so my dad could be off for the weekend to help. It happened to be leap year and about the time I was due. I am a big 7 1/2 years old.

    I am a social phobe. I wait to go outside if I see any neighbors. Even to check the mail.

    I'm getting somewhat better-- I have my good and bad days.

    Oh-- and I'm a HUGE dork. I have MChammer "u can't touch this" as my ringtone.

    (I know that's two, but oh well)

    Are you diagnosed agoraphobic?

    See i work in an office and I do have a friend in the office and we have been hanging out a little more often out of work but he is 20 years older than me. He's great but just not my age. The girls that are my age are so not like me. Not to offend anyone here but they are so proper and I am just not. Not having my friends from CA really get me down sometimes. I sometimes think if only I was in school it may just be that much easier to make friends. OH Boy!!! I guess I will meet people when I put myself out there...I just want to be myself and not have to act like them. Thanks for your reply!

    HAHAHA...is that what you put on paperwork when they ask for your age? haha. I am so interested in the fact your b-day is on leap year. So interesting! This is like when you see identical twins and you have so many questions.

    My pdoc calls it social anxiety-- I manage to make it out of the house (it's a challenge). I am actually going to college next semester-- I'm making myself, bc I'm so tired of being the way I am. I am working my way through it. :)

    Yes-- I think we need to hear the full story on Steven Seagal for sure!

    oh... yeah.... faerie... that's what it's called when you absolutely can't leave your house "agoraphobia". I have an aunt that has it. She hasn't left her house in forever. And, she never comes to family functions. Scary.

    So....why Nesmays? Does it hold a meaning? Or do you just like the way it sounds?

    I am reading Twilight for the first time and I am completely underwhelmed by her writing abilities. The story line is good...her style of writing, not so much. (I know I go against most of America on this one.)

    YES! In agreement here. I bought it when I was in the hospital last year after having my c-section. Couldn't get through it. It became toilet reading, and took me months to finally finish (I can read a book in a day or two usually!). Rented the movie, got ten minutes in, hubby left the room. Stuck it out another twenty minutes and had to turn it off myself. It was THAT painful. NOT a Twilight Fan, but I really really wanted to be. I LOVE Vampires. I have all the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles (though they're getting bad, too!) and my favorite movie is Interview with the Vampire.

    Maybe I should do my own random fact instead of stealing other peoples!

    No meaning that I know of, just been saying it forever, I have lots of little quirks like that, could go on for days!
