thought id start a new topic of random facts about yourself; and see what kind of these we have :smile:

1 - i can burp the alphabet :blushing:

2 - i am naturally right handed, but im just soo talented i can write with both hands and both have extremely neat writing.. most of my friends are jealous, cos there non writing hand looks like a load of squibbles :laugh:

3 - I HATE spiders, but i LOVE big fat snakes :laugh: .. makes no sense?! i scream if i see a spider! but i would love to have a pet snake in my bedroom - mum wont let me =(

4 - I love to jump out my bedroom window into my back garden :bigsmile: if i had a choice between safely walking out the front door to go out, or risk my life by jumping out my bedroom window on the grass in the garden - i would much prefer to jump out my window! Its great! Im a bit of a 'tom boy' when it comes to stuff like that, im not afraid of heights, jumping, or anything like that.. My friend think im off my head!! hahaha, i call it 'adventerous' :laugh:

5 - not really a random fact - but i survived a big house fire when i was 9 years old. (my brothers evil dad set the house a light really early in the morning when me, mum, and brother who was 4 months old at the time were all fast asleep) - We were all extremely lucky to be out the house alive and safe! Im lucky to be here today, and words cant even describe how much i thank those fire men.. nearly 11 years have passed, and i still have nightmares about it to this day. i remember it like it was yesterday, i wake up alot during the night, and i have to go in to my mums and brothers bedroom just to check they are both ok. i do it all the time, its a habbit i spose? My brother oviously doesnt remember anything - 4 months old! and mum has to try her best to forget about it as she has alot on her plate as it is.. soo i remember it the most, and i hardly sleep at night as worry too much about it.. We lived in England when this happend, and we moved to Wales about 1 month after it happpend, we had to get away from England as quickly as possible. And to this day - my brothers dad doesnt have a clue where we live!

What are your random facts about yourself?:smile:

    1. I write children’s stories but I’m too self-critical to try to get them published.
    2. I sing all the time and love musicals. I haven’t sung in front of people in years.
    3. I’m deathly afraid of open water. I float like a little ball when I’m in the ocean with my legs pulled to my chest, out of the water. This stems from an experience where I swam at a local beach and stepped into something rubbery, lots of bubbles up my leg. The next day, they found a dead body there that had floated over from Michigan. Ruined me for life.
    4. I can roll my tongue like a wave.
    5. In grade school, I couldn’t dance. I could find the rhythm and lacked the confidence. One day I saw myself in the mirror whilst dancing alone in my room. I thought I looked pretty good so tried it out at a high school video dance (remember those?!). I got compliments all night. Ever since I dance like I just don’t care.

I went to college to be a CPA but after working in a bank for 4 years and dealing with numbers and money I figured out that it wasn't for me... isn't that usually how it works. spend all you money to get a degree for something you end up hating. oh well! its a fall back :-)
