  • - everyone who know anything about me knows not to talk to me for at least 2 hours and 1 cup/bucket of coffee after i get out of bed.
    - i live with my in-laws again (did this once before a few years ago) have for almost 3 years now and they still dont understand the above and try to talk to me the second i stumble out of bed
    - i have never liked sleeping alone even as a kid. i started out with lots of stuffed toys but have now moved onto a husband and 3 dogs(2 big and 1 small) and cannot sleep properly unless the dogs are in my bedroom at night (and have come onto the bed and given me a cuddle)
    - i have no friends left from my school days and that bothers me sometimes
    - i am currently unemployed so i spend 2 days a week working for my mum: cooking, food shopping, and cleaning and i like this more than my old job :)

    1-I was born with two birth defects -- without the left side of my L-5 vertebre and the cartilage of my right ear was folded up inside my ear canal (that fixed itself. My ear is normal now, though it did flop for a few weeks until the cartilage hardened. lol).
    2-I had the same cat from the time I was 12 until I was nearly 31 years old.
    3-I have five tattoos and had a total of 10 piercings. I'll forever have the scar under my lip from my lip piercing, and I'm okay with that.
    4-I regret very few things in my life. Even the bad/foolish things make us who we are.
    5-I have, at last count, 11 half siblings (thanks, Dad!). I've met two of them.

    1) I absolutely love old people.

    2) When I was little there were only 4 things I would eat - chicken, mac and cheese, green beans, or apples.

    3) I won first place in my fantasy football league this year.

    4) I've had a lot of dates but only two serious relationships in my life. I met them both online. The people I've dated that I've known in person first have never amounted to anything.

    5) I've been going to college since 2005 and don't have a bachelor's degree yet. I've changed my major more times than I can count. So I work full time at a mortgage company and take classes at night (I have finally decided on nursing).

    2. I used to play drums religiously for 10 years. I was in an indie rock, then black symphonic metal then tea party/tool/led zepplin escque mix mash of stuff. Now I spend all my spare time practising judo and trying to eat and excersise myself fit.

Plus, I think more people need to be open and honest about this stuff.

    6. I know, too many! I have an irrational love of drinking drinks out of aluminium cans. especially beer.

    1. I am extremely nosey. Not out of rudeness, I think its more of an OCD thing since when I am told something said to be a fact I spend time researching to see if its correct. I just HAVE to know stuff.
    2. I can wiggle my eyes back and forth really fast, i can cross one eye and keep the other straight AND my nostrils wiggle when I laugh.
    3. I am very outspoken and shy at the same time.
    4. When I was little i used to write horror stories.
    5. When i was little i used to want to be a boy, and to be specific, i wanted to be a hanson brother. (to clarify why i didnt want to be a girl was because i just didnt want to go through the changes women had to go through, i thought it was a choice LOL)

    HA! Number 5 makes me laugh! I wanted to a boy when I was a kid, too! I thought having babies was mandatory and that they came out of your belly button.

    1. - I'm probably the happiest girl, ever. I'm constantly smiling and/or laughing. I don't know why and I can't control it.
    Even in situations where I should be mad, I can't be. Guess it's just the way my parents made me.

    2. - People always ask me if my eyelashes are fake. (they're real :) )

    3. - I don't really like animals. I was attacked by a dog last winter, and been even more scared of them ever since.
    ( this doesn't mean I wouldn't be with someone who loves pets though)

    4. - I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the Rocky Mountains. (Especially in Banff, Alberta)

    5. - I'm a huge music lover. Favorite bands are Mumford and Sons, The Strokes, Coldplay, Bon Iver :love:

    5. In cheerleading, I purposely didn't catch the flyer once (the girl up in the air) because I knew she was talking trash about me. She knew I dropped her on purpose& made a big scene about it, which led to the coach getting mad at me and telling me to run a mile... Whatever. I got exercise in ;)
