Five Unique Things About Me
Replies
-
1. Was brought up on stage at a Blue Man Group show a couple years ago.
2. Scaled a 100ft cliff with no climbing gear when I was 10.
3. Designed and built my first 500+ horsepower small block at age 16.
4. Owned a Winchester .30-30 lever action rifle when I was 7.
5. When I was 5, I died and was brought back to life (drowned).
Guess I've always been kind of an adrenaline junkie........0 -
1. I'm a small engine mechanic. (I don't find this unique, but others seem to.)
2. I've never seen all those movies everyone else has seen. (Harry Potter, Twilight, Star Wars, Indiana Jones...)
3. Even though I'm now 6' tall, I was a competitive gymnast and a cheerleader for over 10 years.
4. I'm a mom of twins. (sanity is overrated)
5. I hate diamonds, gold and roses!
Haha...I kept it clean! That's a first for me, I think! :laugh:0 -
1. My biggest pet peeve is when people say "I could care less." It's "I couldn't care less."
2. I have two cats
3. I can't have anyone else fold my clothes, I have to do it as I have a special way of doing it.
4. I've done the race up the Empire State Building and Swam Across Long Island Sound
5. I love to cook but hate doing dishes0 -
1. I'm fluent in 5 languages technically, 4 of which are basically the same (in case you're wondering...Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian and Montenegrin) 5th of course would be English, and I'm currently trying to learn Swedish.
2. I've lived through 2 wars (Bosnian War in '92 - '95 and the NATO aggression on Serbia in '99)
3. I'm afraid of deep water, not like in pools, more like in the sea.... the feeling of not knowing what's lurking under me freaks me out, or that moment when you're not so close to shore and you look down and all you can see is darkness..yikes!
4. I wear contact lenses, I have been since my sophomore year in high school.
5. I recently got stuck in an elevator for about 30 minutes, ALONE.... worst 30 minutes of my life I think. I have just gotten back from a 7 hour bus ride, starving... my first though after I've realized the elevator is stuck was "Am I really gonna die hungry, seriously?" haha

1. I tend to randomly (or sometimes purposely) bark aloud like a dog. It's impulsive, and I've been told by many that the sound is uncanny to that of a real dog.
2. I am very neurotic when it comes to my hands. If my hands become sticky for example, I will go into super panic mode until they are washed. At times, I wash my hands just for the sake of washing them. Wouldn't call it obsessive though.
3. I hold money just to look at it. If I receive large bills, I'll keep it for as long as possible---even if there is something that could be purchased with it--- because I just love to stare at money. I will refrain from buying more expensive items just to prevent from breaking down aforementioned large bill.
4. I bite. I'm not even talking in a dirty kind of way.. I just like to bite people.
5. I become extremely apologetic at times, and tend to feel incredibly bad if someone purchases something for me.. be it on a date or on a day with significance like a birthday. If the item looks expensive, I accept it gracefully, but tend to feel awful about it for quite a while.0 -
1 - I traveled to all seven continents by the time I was 30.
2 - I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro

4 - My long term jobs have had nothing to do with my studies - I have been both in banking and telecommunications- went to school for Psychology and Spanish and worked my way up from entry level (file room clerk and admin) to senior positions.
5 - I have never broke a bone in my body- only sprains - despite all of my activities.0 -
1. I have had to go to court over someone cutting down trees on their own property.
