five random facts

mandysmear

about yourself! 

GO.

Bubbalub

1) I was accepted in the Joffery Ballet School at age 15 but couldn't attend because of a knee injury.

2) I'm scared of spiders and snakes.

3) I still have a doll that my great-aunt crocheted for me when I was born. She is a yellow cat that I named Kalia and she wears doll dresses.

4) I have had surgery on both my feet. Twice.

5) I only had 2 wisdom teeth. I was born without the top ones.

alixzafiris

I was born without any wisdom teeth and when I was 13 had four adult-teeth pulled. I'm teeny.

I'm aiming to have read 172 books this year, not including about two hundred 80,000 word + fanfictions.

I gave Goodwill over a hundred and fifty pairs of shoes last month. And still have at least a hundred and fifty pairs left over.

I was born in the capital city of the world. Trufax. Urbandictionary that schit.

I cannot cook pre-prepared foods to save my life. They hate me and rebel as soon as they get into the oven.

crfische

I can gleek really, really far.

I have a freakish rememory for song lyrics.

I hate cotton balls more than I hate...well...most things.

I won an inventors contest in junior high.

I lived in Sweden for a summer while in high school to play tennis.

alixzafiris

So random that we both picked wisdom teeth facts!?

Mrs.B6302007

1) I've been an English Handbell Ringer for 25 years
2) I didn't fly in an airplane until I was 27 years old (or was it 28?)
3) I have no biological siblings
4) I lived in the same house from birth until college
5) I love lasagna

Bubbalub

Alixa, I know! Hah!  Also, 150 shoes left still?? OMG I'm jealous and horrified at the same time. I am so strict on buying clothes and shoes for myself but I LOVE them so much that I wish I could just let myself go crazy once in a while.

Post a pic of your favorite pair, if you will.

mandapanda78

I was born on Father's Day

I was engaged once before, but woke up one day and just didn't love him anymore. Weirdest thing. It was for the best anyway.

I just got accepted to college again! YAY!

My thumbs are double jointed.

I daydream myself to sleep every night. Some daydreams become so complex and involved that I will pick them up every night where I left off the night before, for weeks sometimes. 

akhensley81

I sang & danced on stage with Lorrie Morgan during her Christmas concert in Kalamazoo, MI when I was 10.

I was adopted when I was an infant, and I found my birth family 6 years ago.

I like chewing gum in the shower.

The furthest I have ever travelled away from home is Calgary.

I religiously balance eggs on flat surfaces on the equinoxes.

1.  I have an unhealthy love for Panera.  Something to do with the fact that the company originated in St. Louis and there's one on every street corner.....

2.  I have literally no sweet tooth.  I can eat like 1 cookie at a time.  It makes me sad.

3.  I badly injured my hand over the summer by tripping and falling in the Target/Grocery Store parking lot while chasing after someone else's runaway cart.  I am that awesome.

4.  Despite my career, a big chunk of my heart is in the arts.  I danced for 14 years, have played piano and sang since I was a wee one, did a good bit of musical theatre, started teaching piano lessons at 15, and did a lot of accompanist-type activities (pit orchestra, concerts, church choir, etc.).  I still do the church stuff, but everything else has fallen victim to my science career.  That makes me sad also.

5.  I didn't know the rules of football until high school, because St. Louis didn't have an NFL team when I was younger, so I didn't pay any attention to it.

mandysmear

i hugged the drummer from tea party about 5 years ago.  i luff that band.

i am ridiculously good at super mario allstars and supermario world on super nintendo.  oh donkey kong 1, 2 and 3 too.  i kick my gamer husband's ass all the time.

i cried at julia roberts' storyline on valentine's day.  i'm lame.  i don't even like kids.

pizza isn't even my favourite food.. 

i've never flown anywhere alone.  i've driven places alone - lots!  but never flown. 

Anysunrise

1. I have all of my wisdom teeth, for a full set of 32.

2. I played flute for 6 years.

3. I have a condition that only 0.00045% of kids are born with.

4. I can read pretty fast (or so I've been told), 125-150 pages an hour is my regular reading pace.

5. I can't think of 5 things about myself.

waltzingmatilda13

I never drive with shoes on. I learned to drive manual transmission in the summer and just got used to not wearing shoes so now it's a bad habit.

I made state band when I was senior in high school playing the clarinet. I was the only one from my school to make it.

I hate spiders and can spot them anywhere in a room (on the floor, ceiling, walls) in about 3 seconds flat.

My normal resting body temperature is about 96.5 degrees. When I hit 98.6 it usually means I am getting sick.

I am the tallest girl in my extended family at 6' tall.

STACKS! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A GLEEKING DUEL!!

And Sunrise, that sucks! Did it give you a sexy phone sex operator voice?

kcscejal

I was on growth hormone for 6 years, and am now 5 feet tall.  Without it, I was projected to be under 4 feet.

I hate calling people I don't know on the phone.  You have no idea how happy I am you can order pizza with the internet now.

I want to be a pediatric oncologist more than anything.  I am terrified of failing, and I have no idea what I will do if I never get into medical school.

I hate cooking.  I'm terrible at adding the right spices, and raw meat skeeves me out.  I am so thankful FI is a wonderful cook.

I lived in Germany for the first 4 years of my life.  I wish I was older when I lived there so I could remember it.

FutureMrsTR

- I hum or sing to myself almost constantly most of the time without realizing it.
- This is ok because I'm an excellent singer (just kidding.  I mean, I am an excellent singer, but I'm sure I still annoy people sometimes)
- I only chew half pieces of gum at a time.
- It took me a really long time to even think of those three facts that are even semi-interesting.
- I think I ate dog in Ukraine.  I'm like, 65% sure.

cengle

1. I'm legally blind in one eye
2. My great uncle (now deceased) is in the baseball hall of fame
3. I was my high school class' salutatorian
4. If I could have any profession, I would want to act on Broadway.
5. If I could stay home and bake all day, I would be the happiest gal ever (and probably a fat one too)

alixzafiris

I hate that question! I love shoes too much to have any one favourite so I'll answer by saying I've been wearing these a lot lately:







And a pair almost identical to the nude ones but with a higher platform, in black suede, but they're in the car and it's snowing so I'm not going out

emilyinchile

1. I have two fake teeth (the two next to my front teeth - just didn't have adult teeth)
2. I have a tattoo. It's on my butt, so not many people know this.
3. I have never been drunk at a football game despite attending many football games during college. Being lost in the crowd of people and buses at the Rose Bowl was bad enough sober.
4. My half-sister is 26 years older than I am. I am only 25.
5. I have my motorcycle license (got it for the Vespa I have in the US).

NuggetBrain

Iam both a sympathetic crier and a big fat softie.  I cry at the Hallmark commericals on TV.  I sobbed shamelessly at the beginning of "Up".

I also have a freakish ability to remember song lyrics.  This is because Fischy and I are sisters from another mister.

I hate tomatoes with every fiber in my body.  If my choice was tomatoes or starvation I'd choose death.

When I was in 5th grade I lost a total of 6 pairs of glasses in one school year, including one pair that some boy stole from me, buried in the sand on the playground and then forgot where he put them.

I have been known to eat 3 pounds of potatoes in a single sitting.

[QUOTE]It was actually a very simple thing called a trump cube. My family plays a lot of games and card games and we were always for getting whose deal it was or what trump was so I took a block, painted it white, stenciled the different suits on it and wrote up an instruction card to keep the trump cube in front of the dealer at all times with whatever is trump in front of them. SO SIMPLE, but so practical in game families. We still use it :)

Depends on who you talk to, lol. It's raspy, I sound like I just have a really sore throat. 50 odd surgeries (cause yeah, I forgot to mention, they never stop growing back.) which involve a laser stuck down my throat have eroded most of my vocal cords. They showed me on the camera after my last follow up, I can't believe I can still talk at all, lol.

<div>Random fact about me #6: I have sexy phone sex operator voice. In fact, when I was working in an office once I picked up the phone and did my standard greeting and the guy on the other end had to take a moment. When he finally replied he said "If everyone answered the phone like that there would be no war."  All I had said was "Thank you for calling the registrar's office, how can I help you?"</div>

[QUOTE]1.  My mom originally wanted to name me Windy Wendy (last name that started with a W) <strong>2.  Any kid I have with Mr Stack will be born with 6 fingers on each hand.</strong> 3.  I was a junior national diver and went to the junior olympics a bunch. 4.  I've broken my nose twice, dislocated my thumb twice, broke my wrist 3 times and my hand 3 times.  Oh and my tailbone and my big toe.  5.  I can probably gleek farther than Fische......she has no idea how great I am at it. 
Posted by Stackeye210[/QUOTE]

Did Little Stacks have that?  My cousin was born with webbed fingers and toes.  They fixed it, but if they hadn't he would be a wicked fast swimmer now.

crfische

Manda, PM me your phone number. Must hear.

FutureMrsTR

Oooh I'm excited to hear you talk now, Manda, haha.

alixzafiris

I do not know what gleeking is and I'm anxious about googling it.

mandysmear

Does Joce have 6 fingers Stacks?  I don't get that one.

emilyinchile

Stacks, does this mean Jocelyn has 12 fingers? Why is that?

Manda, congrats! What are you going to study?
