edited October 2014 in Social Groups
Alright, so TMI Tuesday got me thinking that we should have a similar thread in this group. I was thinking it would be fun and interesting to post 3 random facts about you. Okay, well maybe it’s just me that thinks it would be fun but whatev. :tongue:
I am curious by nature and with so many new people coming into our group it would be a great opportunity to learn more about each other (especially you lurkers :P).

Maybe we can add on to it - if we want to quote someone and ask for more detail(s) and/or reply back we can.

I’ll start.

1. I am left handed
2. I was born in Spain
3. I am afraid of cows

    As far as I know, there isn't. I have talked to a couple of doctors but most follow the general populous that says this condition doesn't exist. So I just deal with it myself, I avoid holey looking things if I can (if not I do a little freak out and get away from it lol). As for the textures I avoid touching those things at all costs. Felt, velvet, chalk and foam (like the stuff inside a couch cushion) are really bad. I also hate the feeling of my own dry skin so I am constantly putting lotion on (could also be part of my OCD according to my Dr.) As all my friends say I am weird and really **cked up lol. But that is ok I like me!

    I have a tattoo, but not of that. I have always wanted another one though, with the sign for aquarius on it!

    3. I love the paranormal and seek out ghost-hunting opportunities when financially able.

    Several, yes. Some scared the hell out of me, others were friendly and I still think of them fondly. :)

    I've been whispered to in the middle of the night by someone telling me to "be calm". Yeah! Right!
    I've been choked by a tall and very strong person who simply wasn't there.
    I've been taken by the hand by a small childlike energy - twice.
    I've had my hair pulled when nobody was near me, and the door next to me shut on its own soon after.

    My favorite, though, was hearing my grandmother's voice behind me one night, saying "I'm proud of you." <3

    1. I do not fool with the color of my hair. (an oddity today)
    2. My IQ last time it was tested was scarily high, yet I cannot focus enough to utilize it lately.
    3. I am the first person to pass on my last name (I have never been married) to my son. None of my male cousins has passed the name to the next generation.

    My itch is bad too. LOL Hoping next spring with taxes I can get my "family" one. I want to get a flower collage of some sort on my body for me, my fiance, and my kids.

    I record it too! I almost never get to sit and watch TV when the show is actually on. I was pretty upset when I learned that they were in Minnesota over the summer filming the Palmer House episode. I wish I would have known that they were here and when they were here, I would have so drove up to Sauk Center for a chance to meet them guys.
