    I don't like pie unless it's one of those fake pastry pies I think hostess makes.

    My family thinks I'm weird.

    I've been known to have anxiety attacks in large crowds of people, including at family gatherings (I was in tears at Christmas this year).

    I am terrified of heights, to the point of not even wanting to step up on a step stool or chair because I swear I'm going to fall and die, haha. But, I LOVE roller coasters!

    I have Bachelor's degrees in both trombone and piano :smile:

    I very, very rarely dream.

    My great-grandfather immigrated to the US from Italy (Castellammare) in the late 1800s and our family name is engraved on the wall at Statue of Liberty monument (Ellis Island).

    If that was boring...

    I've recently developed a liking for raw cookie dough. Seriously. When I buy the premade stuff at the store, I rarely end up baking them. I know there's a warning on the bag not to eat it raw, and everytime I read it and think "hmmm... you really shouldn't be doing this..."

    I have the worst self esteem in the world, I always think of myself as ugly and nothing BUT ugly. Can not keep myself from thinking otherwise =(

    I have an abnormal fear of cotton balls, I lived in 42 different foster homes as a child, 3 of which were preachers. I once lived in a Nudist Colony. I have a horrible Juvenile record, but my adult record is squeaky clean and I have a criminal Justice degree. I think I (thankfully) lack the 'addictive' gene, I really haven't ever been hooked on anything even though I smoked for 3 years straight.. I could just stop, no big deal..weird. There's tons more I am sure.

    I've travelled to 111 countries. This time last year I was in North Korea (as a tourist).

    I grew up on a tea and coffee plantation in Papua New Guinea.

    I have a near phobia of fish bones as a result of being told to be careful that I dont choke on the bones when I was a kid and will only very rarely eat fish (sashimi is an exception)

    I used to suffer from really bad depression during my childhood up till i was in sophomore year in high school. I was the quiet invisible girl who had her self-esteem dragging on the floor. My weight loss has really helped me get out of the black hole i was once in.

    I still find myself struggling with self-esteem problems at times, but I've learned that if we don't love ourselves then who ever will?

    I've learned to appreciate and love life, and because of this I smile ALOT more :)

    The feel of cotton balls creep me out.
    I'm still with the same person I was when I was 16.
    I'm very very afraid of the dark..I have night lights everywhere.
    I just about cry at the end of every movie (Lifetime is the worse)
    I have 6 dogs, but yet I am an OCD cleaner. I take meds they don't help.
    I never had the chance to be a teenager..Had to take care of parents and sibling from the age of 11-16
    My parents have been addicted to almost every drug.
    I love Panda's
    I only wear black, pink or purple underwear and Bras
    I love watching meteor showers.

    I have OCD, when I get stressed about something I can be known to clean the same window for 40 minutes.... Doesn't matter where I am either, I will just help myself to their cleaning cupboard and start doing it.
    I have to say "please don't be offended if I start cleaning..." :-)

    I'm pretty lucky...I have won a go cart, an Ipad, and $1000 from various food shows that I've attended. At my daughter's school this past fall, at the fall fest, I won an Ipod touch and a basket with a Scentsy warmer, scents, and room spray. And then on Black Friday this past November, I won the $1000 gift card from our local Belk store, but I split it with the girl that I was with :D

    I was on the Price is Right...

    and lost the car...
    and spun the wheel...
    really,
    really,
    really,
    hard (while wearing slippery sandals)

    and...

    BIT THE DUST.

    Got shot under the wheel (well, just about...)

    and ended up on Bloopers for years and years.

    (Got recognized each time it aired.)

    Ten years later, heard Bob Barker describe me while he was interviewed on a morning zoo FM radio show, "the girl who was visiting the show and just run a marathon and who got shot under the wheel as his favorite, most exuberant contestant ever."

    The end.

    p.s.

    No. Never found it on YouTube. Thankfully it is on VHS and it's melting away in a box somewhere in my hot garage.

    I'm sorry but I will now make it my mission to find this video. Out of respect I will not share it. But I will laugh.

    Oh, trust me...you'll pee your pants. So pathetic. If it wasn't me I'd ask, where do these people come from?! :)

    I don't talk about personal things on MFP, only fitness-related things, even in my newsfeed. So there's quite a bit.

    1. As a result of a neurological defect I have no sex drive and am missing a lot of basic human instincts.
    2. I am paranoid about sunburn and have permanent scarring all over my back and shoulders from a severe sunburn that landed me in the ER when I was about 13. I haven't been shirtless ever since, except when in my house.
    3. I seem to be naturally talented in areas concerning marksmanship despite the fact that I have never fired, or even held, a loaded gun.

    I'm a phone sex operator...
    Ohh me too but I did it with both men & women (I'm not a bi though)


    ^^ me three! Though I only do it part time.

    I've always wanted to do it, like how do you join or start working @ 1?
    Its easy, all you need is a phone (mobile or landline) and some bunch of contacts you can find online or in person. Then talk dirty on the phone, that's it, LOL

    Had very vague idea about balanced eating and knew nothing at all about nutrition until after 50, how ignorant!

    I think being a dirty phone operator would be very fun, but I would only be able to type gutter thoughts, when I talk to an actual person, I almost always forget everything I wanted to say, most of what I wanted to do, and barely make out 2 word directions.
    as chatty as I am, it's weird to suddenly be so shy or unable to express myself, at least in words.

    I think very very highly of myself, I always have. I am not conceited, I am just very confident that I can do ANYTHING I set my mind to. All of this while having a stutter, though when I was a kid I was teased it truly is a strength today. Many people discount me because of my stutter. You would be surprised how many people stereotype people with speech problems as they are mentally inferior. However to the contrary at least with stuttering many have higher IQs. I use that to my advantage.

    I am an excellent driver...I am a horrible passenger, and will avoid being one whenever physically possible. There are very, very few people I feel safe driving with, and none of my exe's qualified.

    I'm with you on being a passenger. I'm a terrible one.

    I've never broken a bone.

    I am a poet. And I'm really lucky on this one, I don't like sugar or anything made with sugar. I'm starting to have trouble even eating sweet fruits. Go figure!

    I drive like Danica Patrick and can parallel park like you've never seen. I live and die for dogs, really any animal and pick up strays all the time. I currently have 2 Chihuahua's and 2 huge Great Pyrenees. I am getting my Master's in Nursing and will specialize in Urology...erectile dysfunction intrigues me!!! I have a sarcastic sense of humor and LOVE morbid practical jokes. My husband doesn't think my jokes are too funny=)
