    1. I've moved so many times in my life and have almost been homeless a few of those times. In fact, was only saved because a family member decided to let us stay with them.

    2. That I can talk for hours if allowed to. (I seem so shy and quiet!)

    3. That I can run very fast and for a long while without being winded (Most people assume that since I'm overweight, that running will make me lose my breath and that they can outrun me)

    4. I don't watch TV. Haven't really watched TV since. . .I was 9. (Just thought this was interesting to add xD)

    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 have an issue talking to men, I either get really shy or start talking and say something completely stupid or arrogant. Its actually really annoying to me, and I have never told anyone about my "little problem"

    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 loooooooooooove pit bulls.

    I'm a vegetarian

    I write murder mysteries from the POV of a 30-something year old man. (Unpublished)

    I was in special ED, but then I got out and took AP classes and passed all of exams, but one with 3's and a 4.

    I really do try to get all the cat hair off of my dark clothes.

    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.

    When I was 13 (or maybe 12, I can't remember now), I had the fastest time in Canada in my age category for the 100 IM (swimming event for those of you not familiar lol).

    I was in ballet, tap, and jazz for 8 years as a kid, and was better than half the kids in my class who also danced competitively (exam results proved this).

    I used to listen to scremo and anything that wasn't "mainstream," now I listen mostly to techno/trance and top 40. Past me would be ashamed :tongue:

    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 love all music - I used to be a rock chick and dance 3 hours solid. I also liked Ska, Punk and Indie Music.

    My favourite book is called Ferney - about reincarnation through a number of generations involving a couple.

    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 like a bit of black metal/death metal although mainly for the music, not the lyrics/growling vocals.

    I am a photographer and have my own small business.

    I have 2 kids.

    I've played in a few bands.

    I wrote and recorded a song for my Dad.

    I can speak Spanish pretty well.

    I've been playing guitar for about 15 years (not straight, I've stopped here and again to eat and stuff).

    Starting to learn drums when my 2.5 year old daughter lets me use the electronic drum kit I was bought for MY 30th birthday a few months ago, not your birthday Ava. Mine. Get off please. No, Daddy doesn't want to play So What by Pink on Rock Band. Daddy wants to play Them Crooked Vultures or Thrice or something that doesn't lower the street cred in my head. /EndRant.

    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.
