    -I told my mom at 14 I was going to go and visit dad (he lived in another country at the time) when I really just wanted to get in the plane & run away with my boyfriend who happen to live in the same country that my dad did =P

    I have never lived with my parents after that!!! Had my first child when I was 16 !

    Ok...hmmm....

    ~I loathe the sound of people eating, it makes my skin crawl. I have to mute commercials when they are loudly eating, and will boycott a restaurant or product if they intentionally focus on the sound of drinking/eating.

    ~I hate people to touch my hair, nails and teeth...so going to the dentist, getting my hair done, and having a mani/pedi is really, really hard (I always go to the dentist every 6 months though!).

    ~I actually am an Irish dancer, and started when I was 35. I have competed, and have a ton of medals (ok that sounded like I was bragging :wink: ). My teacher was the "Lord" in The Lord of the Dance (Vegas). I will keep doing it until I am too old to do it, it is amazing!

    ~I am 5'9" but my wingspan is 5"11"....so finding jackets/shirts etc...is almost impossible!!

    ~At one point I was the only married person in my family (including uncles, aunts, cousins, mother, etc...).

    <--- self proclaimed Humanist. Only surprising because I live in a very conservative state/city

    I'm an out-of-the-closet atheist living in rural-ish Georgia!!

    I am also really claustrophobic, hate the sound of styrofoam rubbing together, and HAVE to change the toilet paper if it is not going over the top, wherever I go(and I mean in public restrooms too-bleck).

    I have broken all of my fingers but one..I have broken my left wrist..both my knee caps are off balance and the doctors still don't know how I'm walking..I broke my leg bodyboarding. And I can't count how many times I've broken my toes and had to tape them together..LOL

    I have anxiety hearing or thinking about the heart how it functions or blood pressure or heart rate. I can't hear a heart rate it sends me into a anxiety attack...and feeling my own pulse does the same thing.(However, I am training myself to overcome this fear because you can't work out and not feel it..so its gotten ALOT better..but two years ago I would have been a mess)

    I won a plaque with a gold pickle on it for broker rep of the year in 1995 for a pickle manufacturer. Pretty sad that was the most unique thing I could thing of. It hangs on my office wall today.

    I don't like when any body parts hang off the side of the bed (like something under the bed is going to get me)

    I was born on St. Patrick's Day, my favorite day of the year.

    My uncle was a drummer for Vicki Sue Robinson... hopefully some of you know who that is (Turn the Beat Around)

    :flowerforyou:

    the bed thing----ME TOO! My husband thinks Im nuts!

    Me too about the bed! In fact, if I have to get out of bed after dark, I kinda jump far away! :( I watched Poltergeist when I was little and the clown came to life dragged that boy under his bed. 20+ years later and I'm still freaked out by it.

    Glad I am not the only one! LOL
