[a_loveless_gem]

hissy: Great thread you got going here.

Here's 10 facts you don't know about me.

1) I have had no contact with my immediate or extended family for a year and a half now. They disowned me when I announced that I had a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for two years. I moved 1600 km to be with him.

2) Three months after moving out of home, I was given the choice of having a kitten as my 21st birthday present by my boyfriend's parents, (they took me in first so I could sort out the emotional mess and torment before I went to live with my boyfriend) and I chose Russell.

3) I'm a university student trying VERY hard to complete my Chemistry major. I swear next year will be my final year.

4) I play the clarinet and was pleasantly surprised that I could play the saxophone as well. I also play the recorder.

5) I do volunteer work at the local high school helping out students in science classes. And now I'm thinking about joining the Meals on Wheels association in my town.

6) I am an arachnophobe. Scared of all types of bugs. They're creepy and they're always HUGE!!

7) I've missed seeing all the meteor showers in the last four years due to weather.

8) I started looking after injured animals at the age of six after a wildlife officer did a talk in my class. My mother wasn't too impressed at first but gave up in the end and let me do it anyway after the wildlife officer came round to the house to collect an injured bird I had rescued.

9) My brothers and I were not allowed pets as we were growing up. Not even a darn goldfish!!

10) I have a sea-monkey colony.

[a_loveless_gem]

Just thought I'd rate the thread but then found out I had to type something to do so.

Umm...something else you don't know about me.

I LOVE tulips.

 

[22angel]

1. I HATE dishes and sweeping floors. I am constantly doing 5+ hours of dishes a day at work. Sweeping, I don't know why I hate, but I do. I never sweep under my bed/my bedroom floor...nothing!

2. I have a tattoo...no one believes. In fact, when I got it and showed my friends, I had to show them like 2 weeks later that it was still there.

3. I moved to the East Coast when I was 18 and lived there for 6 months, but I didn't know anyone when I moved there.

4. I'm scared of bugs. Doesn't matter what kind they are, how big/small they are, they are still bugs. I have to lift my feet off the floor of the car when there is a snake on the road (dead or alive) for fear that it will suddenly grow huge and eat me, my car and everyone in it. Have I seen Tremors too many times????? (well, maybe 1 time is 1 time too many!!!)

5. I collect lighthouses.

6. I used to read about 5-6 books a week, when I was in school. Our local library is/was only open on Tuesdays, so I'd get my 5-6 books, and sometimes, depending on what type of books, I'd be able to read them all 2x before returning them the next week.

7. I am slightly obsessive-compulsive. There are some things that I HAVE to do before I can finish something. Like, in the winter, I have to clean my car off TOTALLY, even if it's snowing, and virtually impossible to have it right clean, before I go anywhere. And, lots of stuff (which I can't think of right now b/c it is almost 3:30am), has to be done exactly right, or I have to do it again.

8. I'm a night owl. I used to love mornings, but I've had so many nite shifts, that I like nites better now.

9. I was the first one in my family (cousins included) to have to need glasses. Now, all of them except 3 out 12 of us need glasses. And only 2 or 3 of them have contacts (me not included!)

10. I look and sound so much like my mom, ppl often mistake me for her. Some old lady even thought we were twins! And my mom was showing some old friends from her high school days pics of us kids, and he thought my gr 12 pic was her!!! Which is why I am scared to get contacts.....if I get them, I'll look even more like her! And our names are most similar...Pam (mine) and Pat (hers).

11. I am a bag of medical mysteries....trust me you don't want to know!

12. I have never dissected any animal in my entire life! You couldn't pay me to take biology or chemistry, or really any science courses or math courses! Of course, you know those word math problems in school? I had problems with them until like 2 weeks before the final/provincial exam, and now have no need of them.

13. I LOVE

Winter! Even the -35 or -40 Celsius temps we have! It means no bugs!!! lol

14. I have enough stuff to probably furnish 2 houses.

15. I sunburn very easily....can we say skin cancer any time???? lol Especially with it running in our family, I'd say my chances of cancer are very high! No one hardly believes me when I ask them to put sunscreen on me (usually #30 or 45) b/c I'll burn. Just cuz they all don't, and I do! (Amazingly, this is one thing different about my mom and I!)

16. I was born a preemie, by 2 1/2 months. I weighed 3lbs, 2 oz, and should have been born on Valentines day....almost 2 1/2 months exactly! (I was born on Nov 27). Maybe that's why I am a bag of medical mystery

17. I am a virgin.....althoug no one believes me b/c my ex-fiance and I lived together for almost 9 months (well all of the time we started going together) before I broke it off so they all thought that you know, we had done it but we never did, and I am so glad!!!......hoping to meet another virgin (male lol

) to get married and have 4 kids (2 of each! lol) and live happily ever after!

18. I am going to be an aunt....in Sept or Oct. I can't wait!!!

19. I used to be a neat freak, when my sister and I had to share a room, now I couldn't care less, really.

20. I have penpals all over the world, although not as numerous as they once were.

21. I am a huge fan of "Road to Avonlea", victorian era stuff, genealogy, and a complete and hopeless romantic!

Ok, I think I'll stop here for now. I've gone over my 10....done it twice in fact! I'll probably think of more later, so if I do, I'll post them tomorrow. G'nite all!

 

[cassandra_starr]

Weee this thread is SO COOOL!!! Here are some things I can think of.


1) I met Craig on a MMORPG (massive multiplayer online roleplaying game). We talked on the phone for 9 months straight before he visited me (He was in California I was in North Carolina). On our 1 year anniversary I moved to California to be with him. This year will make three years for us.

2) My mother is my best friend, and always has been.

3) I love to study serial killers. What makes them tick? Criminal psychology greatly interests me.

4) My mother miscarried three children. One before me. Then she had me. After she had me she got pregnant with twins. One boy and a girl. She miscarried the boy first and a month later miscarried the girl. I was her only child.

5) I had surgery on leg when I was nine years old.

6) At 5'1" I am the tallest woman in my family.

7) I am in the middle of buying my first car ever. Paying for it by MYSELF. It is very important to me, and I am extremely proud.

8) I am torn between going to medical school, and going to law school.

9) I had a miscarriage at the age of 17.

10) Purple is my favorite color.



More to come later.

 

[catlover67]

I too lived with my ex-fiancee for 9 months!! It's not that I am a virgin for competely religious reasons (although that plays a part) I just don't want to do it until I know I am with the right guy! I came extremely close one time but the guy didn't love me back. (Not my ex either)

 

[nora]

My reasons are mostly religious, although I am not a fanatic about it really. lol Also, b/c my brother and sister both are not (my sister is married, and lived w/ her bf for 4 yrs), I feel it's something that makes me different. I am determined to wait until I am married. I don't care if everyone else is doing it or not, I'm not! My ex and I both decided to wait until we got married, b/c it was really important to both of us. I also felt that if I did do it, and my parents found out, I would 1. be so embarrassed, and 2. be so ashamed that I did it before I got married. For some reason, those things stuck in my head and not my siblings

weird, eh? Anyways, that's just me. Someday it will happen! lol
