    can't resist adding a little thing, a story about my hubby and I. Our first date was to his sister's wedding when we were just 16. I caught the bouquet, he caught the garter. It turns out that we were born in the same hospital, our birthdays so close together that we were in the same hospital nursery at the same time, his mom used to work with my mom. and no, we were not from a small town, same city though.

    That is really fun! My father and husband's father work for the same company in different states when we meet. Our mothers have the same first name and our paternal grandmothers do too!

    I collect 78 rpm jazz & blues records.
    I can also recite almost every nation in the world and their capital cities and point to them on a map.

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

    Me too :laugh: What's your excuse? Mine is that I grew up 45 minutes from the boarder.

    I triple majored in college (trombone, piano, intercultural studies), and minored in German. It took me 5 years. Craziest thing is that I did my INCL major in 3 semesters (plus the semester doing my minor). Oh, and I pulled off my minor having only taken German 101 and a 6 month study abroad :noway: Don't ask me why or how, because I have no idea

    My husband and I sang the American and French national anthem (in French) at our wedding reception. Because my hubby rented the bridal suite in a chateau in the south of France for our honeymoon. :heart: :heart: :heart: Yes he is perfect. We were both French majors, German minors in college but didn't meet until later.

    I'm probably the only guy in the country that hates watching sport on TV. No football, no baseball, soccer, tennis, golf none of it. I only watch highlights of the Tour de France, and I love cycling! I couldn't even tell you who is on any team. Don't know, don't care.

    i am an addict...all of my life i have been addicted to one thing or another...not always something negative, but not always something good! right now, my addictions are church, work and sex with my husband(great side effect from losing weight). also, another strange fact about me is that i am 36 years old and still enjoy going through my strawberry shortcake stuff that i have had since i was in grade school...

    I sang in a rock cover band for two years when I was in college to earn a little cash on the side. We did a lot of covers of Queen, Guns n' Roses, Janis Joplin, The Rolling Stones, Kansas, Boston, Radiohead, and REM. We had a really great guitarist and a really great drummer. I had a blast.

    I'm a fountain of useless knowledge & it comes out randomly...

    Yep, me too!

    Let's see... Hmm... (sorry if some of it sounds like I'm bragging... not meaning too!)

    -I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue... LOL

    -I've had hair down to my rear most of my life!

    -I read for the fun of it every single day (even on my honeymoon!) & have since I was 3! (Hubby thinks I'm nuts!)

    -I love my feet! Must have toe-nails polished at all times. Don't care if my finger-nails are or not though.

    -My Mom's due date when she was pregnant with me was my Dad's birthday. Apparently I didn't want to come out. So, I waited exactly one month later! (March 23rd & April 23rd respectively)

    -I was born with thick, jet black, curly, shoulder-length hair & when I was 2 weeks old I got sick & it all fell out. When it grew back it was fine, toe-head blonde! (now it is reddish-brown!) My Mom was mad because she wanted me to have hair like hers instead of like my Dad!

    -When my Mom was teaching me how to talk she taught me English, Spanish, and Carney (slang terms used by carnival operators). Ultimately, my Dad said that he couldn't understand anything I was saying, so now I only speak English fluently. (re-teaching myself Carney in honor of my Mother!)

    -was potty-trained at 13 months

    -was off the bottle/nip by 12 months

    -learned to read & write by the age of 3 (started out by reading the newspaper to my Mom)

    -started Kindergarten after just turning 4 (no pre-school back then in my town)

    Lots of other random things...

    I kinda stumbled into it. I went to audition with my friend (she was auditioning), and we ended up singing together during the audition, then she quit and they asked me to step in instead. I got to headbang and dress all funky and scream into a microphone periodically so it was pretty awesome while it lasted. I'm still really close to all those guys. They are all married with real jobs and kids now. It was good stuff.

    I highly recommend doing something insane at least once in your life (more often if possible).

    I once had my car in the body shop and when I got it back I was driving to pick my boyfriend at the time up from work. I felt something tickle my knee, when I went to scratch it I felt something hard. So I grabbed the hard thing and clutched it, while still in my pants, for two more miles until I got to his job. When I got there him and a bunch of guys were standing around, I got out and said "hold on, there's something in my pants", shook my leg, and out fell a dead mouse. :blushing: Guess I squished his head when I was clutching him. The boyfriend and all his friends cracked up. We later found the mouse had been nesting in my glove box at the body shop.

    Too bad it died, but that **** is funny!

    I speak 6 languages....I don't think it's that interesting, but everyone else who finds out I do, does.....

    That's amazing! I speak two ^^.

    My fact- I was born with black hair but after a few days it turned mousy blonde.

    I'm amazed. Which ones? I'm a linguist, I have to know. I'm working on my fifth right now.

    And the opposite happened to me! I was born blonde and blue eyed. My eyes went dark a few weeks in, and my hair started turning brown around 4 years of age. All my pictures from before then are blonde, and it's the weirdest thing. I always say my parents switched me with someone and just didn't know it...

    I slid down the emergency landing slide of the NAOC (National Airborne Operations Center). Which is the Boeing 747 that is used for the President, VP, SecDef etc. If anything crazy ever goes down (this is the plane they sent to the whitehouse to get the VP on 9/11).
    My birthday is St. Patrick's Day
    I'm an expert shot on the M16 rifle
