    1- I was born on an island (Puerto Rico) yet I can't really swim and I am to this day still afraid of any type of ocean creature.

    2- I've always had a healthy fear of UFO's and Aliens...can't even watch movies about them or zombies.

    4- I never dated in HS and have only had 2 long relationships...my ex and my husband

    5- I grew up not having pets and now I have an Akita and a Lab/Golden mix that I love to death and are my babies. They understand humans better than any other human could!

    1. I actually gave myself the fear of flying. When I was in grade school I used to read a Japanese comic/manga and the character I liked most had a fear of planes because their parents died in a plane crash. At first it was all talk but a little over a decade later when I had to get on a flight I was so scared I threw up before the flight and had to nurse ginger ales throughout the flight to prevent a second stomach purging. And now it's very real both from time and the fact I've been on one.

    2. I have TMJ from the 5 years I was addicted to chewing gum on a daily basis for roughly 5-6 hours a day. I chewed gum a lot because I had the ability to blow very big bubbles, even bubbles inside bubbles. The aftercare program at my school held bubble blowing contests every now and again and I won every time. I even chipped a tooth during one; my jaw slipped as I chewed and one of my bottom teeth chipped off and went right into the gum. I couldn't figure out why the gum suddenly got crunchy until it was over and I realized a lot of my tooth was missing. My mother's most used phrase during those years was, "take off your glasses before you blow a bubble." Never listened.

    3. The first thing I ever forget about a person is their face. Even right now with my mother in the other room I couldn't clearly picture her face in my mind if I tried to. I freaked out my boyfriend when I went to visit him last year because I spent the 3 days we had together basically staring at his face. I was trying to imprint it long enough in my mind so it wouldn't fade quickly, but I never told him that. (and yes I had a camera but considering we both were in some state of undress or dishevelment I didn't want to bring back what looked like snapshots of some random affair)

    4. I am a very fast reader. When I was in school and would have a book anywhere between 200-500 pages it would take me roughly a week or a couple days more to finish it from just reading it 1-2 hours 5 days a week. When I was 12 I went into the school's library to find the biggest book that wasn't a dictionary or thesaurus and came upon Victor Hugo's Les Miserables which was well over 1,000 pages. It took me just around a month to read it the first time and 3 weeks the second time. (the second time I skipped over much of the actual war/battle part because reading Gavroch's death scene made me cry)

    5. I scared my Junior year American Literature class. Early in the year we were assigned to do a report on a Native American tribe of our choice. My mother had always told me we had Native American blood from her side and so I decided to a report on them and make it a surprise ending with, "and guess what, I descend from them!" I descend from the Atakapa tribe which was known for its ritualistic cannibal practices. They ate their enemies and anyone bitten by a snake because they believed this sent them to Hell. For roughly 3 months after my presentation and reveal no one in the class came near me. I had a similar experience in the 7th grade when I was part of my history class's little "skit" about the Donner Party. I also used this information and what else I know about cannibalism to get a guy who was trying to bump me from my spot at a concert to leave me alone.

    1.) I love natural light and HATE when people turn on overhead lights during the day.

    2.) It's weird... but I love eating a clean natural diet, but I love drinking and drugs (not the hard stuff but... you know)

    3.) This is lame... but I love historic fiction like Downton Abbey

    4.) When I'm alone at my house, I put on Kaskade or Deadmau and dance like a crazy person.

    5.) I'm very cautious by nature and sometimes worry if it's holding me back from my full potential in life.

    There is Nothing lame about Downton Abbey or historical fiction. :)
    Also..if you like Deadmaus and Kaskade..hit me up. I have some good recommendations. My husband has been a (deep) house music DJ for 15+ years. :)
  • 1. Whenever I go to the seaside, I frequently take long swims, all the while being very frightened that something is going to come up out of the depths and attack/eat me. It's a constant battle between my love of swimming and open water and the fear of what lurks within (even when there is no objective reason to worry).

    2. I hate first-person shooters, because they stress me out. Attempts by my friends to get me into them have resulted in my screaming at the screen and jumping out of my chair.

    3. I have never smoked a cigarette in my entire life.

    4. Although I enjoy the occasional casual jig, I am a terrible dancer.

    5. I have been accepted into Mensa, but am not currently a member, because I can't be arsed to renew my membership. :P

    2. My empty hangers are arranged by color and type, but the ones with clothes are all messed up.

    3. My hsband and I got married on his daughter's 4th birthday and the court baliff called out his ex-wife's name. Thank heaven she was a no show for her court date. I was 4 months pregnant and we got stuck on a hill in the snow. Since I had the winter boots on, I was the one pushing the car attempting to get it unstuck. I then tried to bake a cake for the first time and it completely fell apart. We were so exhausted by the end of the day, we did not consummate the marriage until the next evening.

    4. I live in a mobile home, but would like to think I am NOT trailer park trash.

    5 It took me 22 years to earn my Bachelor's degree, but am still doing the same job I was doing when I went back to school to finish. Darn economy and leukemia!!!

    I can juggle.

    Hey! Me too!
    I curse so much i'd make a sailor blush

    Ok... I'm a sailor... (like, for real... 20+ years... 102 Foot Schooner)... make me :blushing:
  • 1) I'm 5'8" plus a bit, and until last year I didn't realize that makes me quite tall for a woman. I had always assumed that I happen to make friends with short people.

    2) Pink is still my favourite colour. I don't decorate my house with anything pink. I don't often wear pink clothes. But when I see something pink, it makes me smile.

    3) I think laundry is the worst chore ever, because you're never finished laundry, not even for a day. Think about it. Even if you wash all the loads of clothes, towels, sheets, etc, you're probably still wearing SOMEthing that will then need to be washed.

    4) My parents didn't let me believe in Santa Claus, they simply talked to me about him as a fairy tale. I waited until the age of 7 to break the news to my best friend. I had hoped she would figure it out on her own, but by then I felt we were old enough that she should know one way or another. Thankfully, she's still my best friend.

    5) I already know that I will have a difficult time going to sleep tonight, because I will wonder if I chose the best facts to include on this list.
