I love to sing, and will sing at the drop of a hat or any other motion that could vaguely be construed as interest, but I've only ever done karaoke once, to win tickets to a Sinatra concert (lost, sadly).
I've sung the national anthem at an Iowa Cubs game.
I've created 3 songs: blues, country and rock, but I've never written them down with instrumentals.

My personality type is INTP.
I was the only person in my 6th grade class not to get a handwriting certificate. To this day I print when I can.
In high school I used to watch Dr. Who wearing a floppy hat, long scarf and eating gummy bears with caffeine free diet pepsi.
I had a dream about the earthquake at Candlestick Park weeks before it happened in 1989.
I was going to be a radio astronomer before I dropped out of college and became a programmer instead.

1. I can put both legs behind my head. Yes go ahead and make your jokes. You know you can't resist

2. I didn't learn to make coffee until I was 24. My husband taught me.

3. I am terrified of bugs and have woken my husband on countless occasions by screaming like I'm being murdered when it's just a spider on the wall :embarassed:

4. I am the only one in my group of friends that knows how to drive a stick shift and prefers them.

5. I laugh like a witch and I do it often.

I enjoyed reading some of these - definitely surprised by some.
I'll contribute just a few:
-I'm bilingual
-I've vacationed/visited 8 countries covering 3 continents
-I played chess for my university. Nowadays I don't so much, but I still enjoy a game of blitz every now and then

I am a writer.
I am also an artist, pencil, some paint, and charcoal, to computer generated stuff.
I've built every computer I've owned for the last 13 years.
I've a wall full of SciFi/Fantasy books I've read easily twelve times each.
I grew up on a 192k acre cattle ranch.
I studied JSA for two years. JSA = Japanese Sword Arts. Yep, just call me American Samurai.
I'm a professional bladesmith (yes, I make knives, swords, and other bladed tools with a hammer and fire).
Bladesmithing is what got me interested in JSA. I forged my own first katana.
I regularly find old cars (ok...not cars, the ultimate car...Mustangs) to rebuild and make into stupid fast street cars, and owned my own racing engine company in Phoenix (Pete Anderson Racing).

No, I'm not usually in the mood to bite someone. Why do people always think this?

More as I think of them.

I have a horrible temper. I hold it in pretty well, and it takes a LOT of crap over a long period of time to set me off, so people are surprised when I tell them this. Thankfully, they usually don't get to see it.

I was absolutely terrified of water as a child. Then one year, I came very close to drowning in a river. I was 7 and someone was there to pull me out of the water, someone I don't know, but am still very thankful to. I still vividly remember the feeling of being pulled down by the undertow, swimming as hard as I could and not being able to get to the top. I even remember looking up through the water and how the sky looked. People don't know this because soon after that incident, I became a strong swimmer. I learned to swim and came to love it. It's the highlight of every summer for me still, and I'm 28.

I look younger than I actually am
I have been brought up by 6 different families through out my life - I'm adopted.
I have a Diploma In Business Studies
I love watching Sci Fi Programmes
I have watched all the Horror Movies (very gory ones) when they were banned - I used to sell them! That was before they were released on TV too...
I am a Head Chocolatier and produce exquisite chocolates!
I love all music - I used to be a rock chick and dance 3 hours solid. I also liked Ska, Punk and Indie Music.
I used to go out clubbin on a FIVER - no joke. A Pint of Cider lasts me all night! Too busy dancing...hahaha.
My favourite book is called Ferney - about reincarnation through a number of generations involving a couple.
I strongly believe I lived through the nineteenth century.
I love Torchwood, V and Doctor Who.
I enjoy watching period drama's on TV.
I used to follow the Christian faith and teach at Sunday School - still believe but don't practice.

I hate confrontation - I don't believe in arguing - solves nothing! Makes things worse.....grumpy is better, followed by heart to heart and a good XXXX !!!

I find it hard to relax sometimes, (busy lifestyle) - but when I do - I'm a little devil !

i can fit my fist in my mouth

I can recycle alcohol with impunity.

most people are surprised when they find out i have a crazy ex girlfriend

how could they you tell EVERYONE you know

first off, was that even necessary?

second off, i said when they FIND out. so. unless they have an uncanny psychic ability that i'm unaware of, there's no way they were aware of this before i told them..and of ALL the things that i share with most people on that list i love that this is the one you decide to isolate. so. stop being an *kitten*. and i'll see you when i get home you douche.

just saying your "within the first hour of meeting someone" conversations go like

1. hi.
2. i'm bi and have a crazy ex girlfriend
3. did you hear me i'm bi and have a crazy ex girlfriend
4. i like chocolate..

lol...theres no warm up to the incredibly personal details with you..you'll tell anyone who's around to listen so i can't imagine people would be too surprised because they've probably over heard it the 100,000 other times you've told random people if you look closely you've mentioned it around 20-30 times randomly on these message boards alone. lol...s'all i'm saying.
