Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us...

Lots of people have things about themselves or things that they've done that would surprise other people if they knew.

Mine is, I was in the Army for three years from age 17 - 20. I was in 108th Signals Squadron and was in the Line Troop.

Interesting time...

What's something that other people wouldn't suspect about you?

i'm co-moderator of some forums for submissive wives

Wow, really???? Good for you, that's really interesting! And very much needed, I would think.

Believe it or not I never graduated High School.

yes

it's a great little community, the women are lovely and for me at least it has really helped my relationship for the better, i'm not a doormat by any means but i think it's great!

it harmonises a relationship in a way so it works well.

BKD I don't find that hard to believe - lots of ultra smart people don't have tertiary or secondary qualifications. My FIL never finished high school and he owns a business as a financial advisor and is a multi-millionaire. Success and intelligence do not always correlate with education!!

my husband never finished highschool but he did finish TAFE and university and he has agreat job, highschool is not something you have to finish i don't think.

It's funny I hated High School but I love learning things. If they would have been willing to teach what I wanted to learn as opposed to what they thought I needed we would have gotten along better...lol I guess that is why I love auditing CC and Univ courses.

I was once married to a celebrity ...

Neither did my little brother, & he is the most successful of the 5 of us!

as for me - I don't know how to swim - I'm scared of deep water!

Shh.. I dont really tell anyone about this, not even my mom...

but my biggest ambition I think is to become a zookeeper.

I voulenteered when I was fourteen going on fifteen for a summer and I love the adventures I had, which included petting and being loved up by wolves, running from cows with ten foot long horns, and dodging an ornery camel that would nip at me as soon as look at me.

I also cant swim because I am afraid that if I let my self swim forward(butterfly) or if I lay backwards and float, that I will somehow fall backwards or forwards and end up with my head pointing down in the water and my feet in the air, and I will drown.

awwww

that would devistate me, i'm a waterbaby and spend so much time at the beach, i think i spend more time in the water than anywhere else, especially snorkelling, there is nothing better than being under for a few hours, it's like being in a beautiful new world

OOoh I love to snorkel though! I am a glutton for punishment/fear. I am fine as long as I have a flotation device around my waist and a flotation device I can hold with my hands, otherwise I have this fear of flipping over in the water. I'm a waterbaby also! Even though I cant swim I would spend all day at a lake. I love to go with my mom's friend and float down the river on my inner tube. That thing is so cool! Its a giant black doughnut and I just love it.

I went snorkeling in mexico and it was the coolest thing ever! Considering I am afraid of deep water I didnt have as much fun as I could have because I was afraid of putting my head under the water (I used to get ear infections when I put my head underwater) but now I guess I dont. I have to save up some money I think to buy a snorkeling set with a life vest. Snorkeling is the coolest thing ever. Its scary getting off the boat though, but I soon learned that I wouldnt sink and the flotation device would keep me up.

BKD- I have a friend named Steve who is the smartest guy you could ever meet, but he hates the classroom atmosphere. He would hardly show up to any of his classes, and got really bad grades. But its not because he was lazy, its because he already knew it all! I myself was like this in fifth grade in History. I would never pay attention and got bad grades because I already had learned about the things she was teaching us (I had moved from wisconsin to Missouri and the teaching was different there) I mean, who wants to sit around and do work about what you already know? Some people just arent meant for the school life!

I left home at the age of 11, at 13 I was legally emancipated.

i am one test away from being a 1st degree black belt.

Emancipated, I think, means legally divorced from your parents.

I can quote every word to every line and every song of Rocky Horror Picture Show. The same for Grease. Many years ago, I attended the Friday night viewing of RHPS countless times, and yes, in fact ran around in my undies at the appropriate time.

LOL!!!!!!! I can just picture that!!

Growing up my best friend and I used to continually quote from Rocky Horror to each other - particularly the little sequence, `Janet! Dr Scott! Janet! Brad! Rockyyyyyyyy'. VERY funny.

And I am a MASSIVE Grease fan - used to watch it every day after school - literally! That and Charlotte's Web...
