3 things you don't know about me

katiewhompus

List 3 things that the majority of SB don't know about you.

1) I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and won 1st place at a board breaking/sparring competition
2) I have a degree in archaeology and worked as a professional archaeologist for 4 years
3) My family lost everything we owned in Desert Storm and were getting a check for $80,000 from Iraq 2 days after Desert Shield. Safe to say they are never seeing that money now.

3 things:

a) I have massive calves...muscular ones that I can't get rid of. I hate them. Most guys are jealous of them, esp. body builders.

b) I almost never wear make-up or do my hair. I should though.

c) I moved 22 times before my 18th birthday and attended 11 schools in 13 years.

1) I have a MSc in Biomedical Anthropology and was ready to sign final papers for the RCMP when I met DH
2) I can't whistle
3) I spent a year in North Africa before I went to University

Wow that's crazy. I would like to hear more about that. Actually all three of yours are pretty impressive.

I think people know a lot about me - I'm pretty open. I guess for the newer peeps though I'll use the old stand bys.

1) I've climbed Kilimanjaro twice
2) I've had cancer
3) I'm a singer (not like a full time professional singer- but a get hired to sing in weddings and sing in musicals singer)

Basically Iraq (aka Saddam) was put on a payment plan for war reparations (is that the right word?) to pay back American families for what they lost in the invasion, plus interest. He was actually very good about making the payments on time and my parents received the first payment of $20,000 on the due date (10 years after the invasion).

<div>your list is way cooler than mine. I can't believe #1 considering #2. That is incredible.</div>

RachNRich

1. I'm incredibly weight conscious. Yet, I'm small. I used to be a college athlete, and now I'm a professional couch potato. .... I hate the thought of losing my hard earned body so easily

2. I racked up $180,000 in medical bills last year, and my doctors never found a diagnosis. I like telling the stories about my scars though.

3. My dad is my best friend.

I lived in Tunisia, and it was the most wonderful place ever. Tunisia is a "Place" for me - somewhere where my time stands still and where my heart feels like it's always belonged.

1. I live in a house with my FMIL, FI, my kid, and myself. We sometimes take in boarders from Korea, and I hate it. I don't trust them and my kid is not alowed to be in the house alone with them, EVER. Sometimes we have seven guys at one time.

2. I am an extremely picky eater.

I'm a noob, so you don't know anything about me anyway.  But I'll play. 

1)  I have been in 2 car accidents, 7 years apart.  Both times, I failed to yield while turning left. 

2)  I dislocated my kneecap over a dozen times when I was 16 and finally had to get surgery.

3)  I have zero self-confidence, which plays a big role in why I don't post more.

Let's see if I can come up with something cool...

1. I have two degrees--BSN and an Associates of Applied Arts in Graphic Design. I got the design degree second.
2. I've written a screenplay and plan to write another that I may actually pitch.
3. I technically own my own business, but it's very new and I've made no money yet and it's the type I can't mention here.

[Deleted User]

1) I have underdeveloped knees, and they turn inward if my feet are together. That makes me self-conscious, so I always stand with my feet out or otherwise turned so you can't tell. But, a knee frequently gives out when I walk, which makes me look seriously stupid.

2) the reason I take so many pictures of Sir Whisky is because I lost a cat that meant the world to me when I was younger, and I only have 2 tiny, crumbled pictures to remember him by.

3) I once gave a speech in front of 3,000 people to present Carl Hiaasen at his lecture. It was one of the scariest and most incredible moments of my life.

K Byte

1) I was a National Merit scholar and got almost a "perfect" score on my ACT (and now I'm quite underemployed LOL, being book smart doesn't give you ambition!)

2) I'm one of the best Guitar Hero players in my area and at one point I had a bunch of top GH/Rock Band vocals scores on the Wii network too.

3) My dad and I have the same birthday, and my cousin's wife and another cousin's son also share the same birthday as us (July 22)

I know, mine are so silly compared to everyone else's but I'm really a HUGE BIG NERD, I can't help it!

rhodesign

Guitar Hero is awesome! I kick J's ass at it all the time.
PS--I just accidentally typed Herp instead of Hero. ha!

Starmusica

mine are a little lame compared to the others.... but

1. I graduated undergrad in 3 years, instead of 4. I got a B.S. in broadcast journalism, worked full time while getting it. A few months after graduating I used what I saved to buy a condo at 21 yrs old. Honestly though- I now just wish I sat back and enjoyed college.. made more friends and really soaked it in. I was in a hurry to grow up. I worked hard but I had no fun.

2. I was a producer at two debates which my former tv station hosted with CNN and ABC news and interviewed some presidential candidates.

3. My H is only the second boyfriend I ever had and my only other lasted a couple months.... we've been together since we were 17.

Y I Oughta

Previously on TK

1. I live with my FMIL, FI and my kid and we take in boarders from Korea.

2. I am an extremely picky eater

3. I have chronic pain in the cold and my doctor can't figure out what is causing it. I try not to take pain pills because they make me loopy and stupid. I don't complain about it much to anyone around me because I don't want to be seen as the whiny attention seeker my sister and best friend are (who both have Fibromyalgia)

K Byte

I haven't seriously played RB/GH for a few months and the reason is really lame -- I lost the SD card that had all my downloadable songs on it when we moved, and I don't feel like re-downloading everything that I had originally purchased. And I really want to upgrade all my stuff to PS3 someday but then I'll have to re-download it and possibly pay for it again anyway and UGH.

SEWF

1. I was Prop Manager for 20 plays in 7 years, and won awards for more than half of them.

2. I got a 25 on the ACT my first try, which isn't all that high, but I was really proud of myself. Especially when the people in the honors classes (which I apparently wasn't smart enough for) got high scores of 21.

3. I'm am the third youngest person at my job, but was just named Assistant Manager.
