    At age 4 my mom saved me from being hit by a car. She was hit instead. My birthday is March 18, my dad died March 19. I miss him terribly. At age 20 I fell asleep at the wheel on the highway. Thank God I'm still here to tell you about it and I'm the most optimistic person you'll ever meet.

    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.

    And US Marines... :) Never been, but know of it thru history. Stationed in Okinawa, Phillippines, Iceland.

    When I was two, I sliced my big toe off on my right foot. It fell off in my mom's hand on our way to the ER. Doc's reattached it. That toe is now a bit smaller than the one on my left foot and the nail grows slanted.

    When I was 16 I danced on French TV for the International New Years Parade with UDA..the Eiffel Tower was our backdrop ;)
    ..and then at 17 I was in a 3 car collision (not my fault), and I have soft tissue damage..I don't dance anymore.

    Also, my boyfriend and I have 4 cats, 2 hedgehogs, and one dog..we call it a zoo :)

    My mother named me after a girl she saw on a missing person's poster.

    My mother's maiden name is Holliday (we happen to be closest living descendants of Doc Holliday), and she was born on Christmas while I was born on Thanksgiving. If I had my mother's maiden name, you could guess my birthday from my name (Cheyenne Autumn Holliday).

    My little brother and I saved each others' lives on the same day. Rogue wave came, I was able to lift him up an embankment but unable to climb it myself. He grabbed my arms and held on while the water washed up to my waist. We were 7 & 9.

    Watched Mt St Helens erupt on May 18th, 1980.

    Been thru enough typhoons & hurricanes to think they are kinda boring now.

    Have a hypermobile patella. That means I can slide it all over my knee. I'm used to it, but it grosses out most others.

    My USMC career can be described as "Missed it by 2 weeks". To include the Loma Prieta earthquake, invasion of Panama, Operation Desert Shield/Storm, and eruption of Mt Pinatubo.

    In spite of having acrophobia (fear of heights), aerophobia (fear of flying) and veloxrotaphobia (fear of roller coasters), I jumped out of an piper cub and parachuted from 3000 ft. using a static line (no tandem back in those days). My girlfriend (now my wife) jumped out right after I did. I knew then that she was special. :heart:

    I have a huge obsession with having clean feet, I never go barefoot, I wear socks even in the summer in the house. Everyone makes fun of me about it!

    I can wrestle a 350 pound ostrich to a standstill. Used to raise them. Also did a lot of the veterinary car on them and performed autopsies when they died.

    Wow - after reading some of these, I've learned that I have lived a boring life! But here's my contribution anyway: I was born on the Fourth of July, my mom was born on Christmas and my brother just missed New Year's by a day. My second toe is also longer than my big toe. I'm a blonde cleverly disguised as a brunette. My sis-in-law was murdered 5 years ago and the a$$hat is still on the loose, only person I waste energy on hating.
