one interesting/ random or unique fact about you? :)

I used to be in the canadian ski team ! I was suppose to compete at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but i got injured pretty bad and I had to stop competition.

@Amber, that is so awesome! I know my way around some power tools (mostly saws, which is weird...) but to be able to do it all--that's amazing!

I use this fact all the time, so I don't know if it's really that interesting or random, but I've had *counts* 12 surgeries--most of them sports-related.

In college, I lived on the top floor of a tower (7 stories up) and when the stupid high school townie kids would sneak in and set off the fire alarm, my roommates and I would sneak up to the door that led to the roof and prop it open for later. Then, we'd drink, drop acid, whatever and head to the (supposedly) locked roof-top, fire door and hang out.

I rode on a Mardi Gras float in an attempt to get a kick-*kitten* set of beads. I got kicked off the float...but I got the beads!

My favorite is the roofing nail gun...love it!

I have been chased by a turkey, a canadian goose and a swan! I hate birds! (Just the big ones )

Geese for me twice & a swan while in a paddle boat LOL

I was attacked by a hawk in Denver Colorado

I appeared on Jeopardy! (and I won)

That is awesome!

Lots of fun facts here. :happy:

I sang Karaoke with Three Doors Down while I was deployed to Guam. Three Doors Down was doing a support the troops tour and they came to the Air Force base and hung out with everyone at the base club for karaoke night. Then the following night they did a concert at the navy base for all the troops that were in Guam.

I've never called in sick a day in my life.

Once when I was a kid, my family and my Aunt & Uncle and their kids went to a beach with very large sand dunes. I climbed to the top of one and walked out to the edge where it wasn't very solid to stand. My Uncle watched as I plummeted, all the way down onto the beach and landed on my head. He came running to find me filled with sand in every opening in my body. I'm actually lucky I wasn't paralyzed - it was a pretty horrible fall. But after he made sure I was okay and cleaned me up, apparently I said, "Now I have to start all over!" My family uses this story to explain how determined I am.

Can't remember how old I was, but as a kid, I took the notion to climb the barn board fence around my cousin's pool. I slid down and ended up with HUNDREDS of slivers in my feet. My parents had to soak them in warm water to get them out and I think there was a trip to the hospital at the end of that story!

Once in high school, I bought myself a pack of cigarettes and I have no idea why. I smoked a couple and that was that. I never smoked again.

I used to vow that I would never color my hair and then the first time I did, I was 19 and went straight to bleach blonde - talk about jumping in with both feet. In order to get my natural color back, I chopped my hair off super short. That was the only time in my life that I've had really short hair.

When I was on a trip to Israel, a man offered to "buy me to be his wife!" Serious story!!

When I hear bag pipes I get an over whelming sadness and I cry :sad:

Me and my husband are self employed contractors....you name it i have done it.....roofing, siding, demolition, remodeling...etc...etc...and i love it......plus i look good in a tool belt :bigsmile:

I'm sure you do!:noway:

my toes are stuck together and I am missing my big toe nail on the left side. One is from an injury, the other is just a weird birth defect which I find really cool

I am an American that knows every word to the *Canadian* national anthem.

In English and French?

You got me there. The English version only :bigsmile: ...don't speak French...parlez-vous Francais?

I shoot 3 pointers better backwards than forwards.
I didn't learn how to ride a bicycle until I was 12.
I have a scar in my right eyebrow from a friend swinging her iceskates over her shoulder to carry them. It hit a small artery so I was squirting blood out of my head. I told my brother I needed stitches so he needed to drive me, and his response was, "the Oilers are playing. Just put a couple bandaids and an ice pack on it, and you'll be fine." The shmuck.

I went into labor 5 weeks early because my husband made me laugh SOOO hard.
We were hanging out at home, and he was telling funny stories. I just got so hysterical with laughter and couldn't stop, and then my stomach started hurting, and I was literally laughing and screaming at the same time- "Stop making me laugh! Something is wrong!"
Our baby girl was born couple hours later. There was no other explanation for her being born early. I hadn't had a single problem or contraction of any type before that night.

I have very interesting people in my family My elder son and his wife are both actors. My daughter-in-law is totally deaf. And my hubby's first cousin once removed is Patrick Sharp, whose hockey team the Chicago Black Hawks won the Stanley Cup 2 years ago. (One of my pics on my profile page shows me posing with Patrick beside the Stanley Cup.) Oh and I don't really follow hockey oops.

OMG...I follow hockey and I would love to meet Patrick Sharp in the flesh...he is such a hottie! :blushing:

I know how to change the oil and brakes on a car. I tear up whenever anyone sings the National Anthem. I have been in more fights with guys then girls (something not proud of and usually happens in a bar)
