    4. I hate to drive (riding is ok) to places I haven't been before. It literally scares me like crazy. I'm sure there is a phobia for that! Lol!

    1) Since 2006 I have lived in 8 different places, including 7 months in Rome, Italy
    2) I'm still best friends with my ex boyfriend, and am currently helping him write a novel
    3) I have incredibly itchy feet and genuinely struggle when I can't travel (like now, since I'm broke)
    4) I triple majored in college - trombone, piano, intercultural studies - and minored in German. I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up...
    5) I have hardly any real life friends. Almost everyone I confide in, and talk to regularly, are online friends. I can think of 2 exceptions (one being the ex mentioned in #2!)

    Bonus: I'm a bit (ok, fine, a lot) of a geek and am a Lord of the Rings Online addict (the picture in my ticker is actually from LotRO)

    1) General Hospital is my favorite show. I've contemplated giving up this soap several times, but just can't seem to let it go! My husband acts like he doesn't like it.. but he knows all the characters and often asks me what is going on with "so and so." I currently have 58 episodes on my DVR that I need to get caught up on. Everyone tells me just to delete them because I could probably catch up on the happenings easily.. but I CAN'T!! I have to watch every episode!

    2) I have one biological child (a son) whom I LOVE more than anything on this Earth, but he also drives bonkers! He's 4 going on 12... LOL The boy has got some attitude!

    3) I wish I could quit my corporate America job, not worry about paying the bills and work with animals. I have a dog who we named Charlie Murphy... after Eddie's Murphy's brother! LOL He is my baby. He is in constant competition for my attention with the other child!

    4) I HATE the summer months, yet I moved to a town were the average summer temps are 90 degrees!! Real smart!

    5) When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I had information sent to me on Space Camp.. but my parents wouldn't send me :(

    Kirsty, 34 :)

    1. I have a not-so-secret crush on David Tennant as Dr Who (I'm a sucker for a man with sarcasm and a naughty twinkle in his eye)
    2. I once tried out to be an air traffic controller (and got down to the third round from several hundred people to less than 10), when I'd previously had no thoughts of wanting to be one, just because I saw an advert that said you can't apply after a certain age and I knew it was my last chance
    3. I love really really bad disaster movies. Like the towering inferno, and the day after tomorrow.
    4. I've moved around far too much, too many cities/towns due to study/work. I've been in the same area for 8years now, and I still feel like it's temporary so I've not properly put down roots really.
    5. I love travel, but I prefer to travel alone than with a tour group. Myy husband doesn't really want to do that sort of travel, but he lets me do it alone.

    and no 6. I work in a portacabin with no toilet, it's torrential rain outside and I'm dying for the loo! I'm using this thread to distract me.... g'arrrrghh!!!
