[QUOTE]I ate roadkill one time in college. It wasn't a sorority or club initiation or anything, but I had a lot of redneck friends (God love them!) and they saw a freshly dead rabbit in good shape, not splattered or anything, on the side of the road, picked it up, and roasted it over a firepit that night at a party. I don't remember what it tasted like because I was wasted!

Holy lord. I grew up in the middle of nowhere and my dad was a deer hunter. He hit a deer with his truck one night, but it was in decent shape. So he put it in the back of his truck, then field dressed it and froze the meat. I was 10. I refused to eat the roadkill. I might be a redneck, but even I have standards. I realize it was ok, and the mode of the kill wasn't that important, but I wouldn't do it.

[QUOTE]Ugh it was so embarrassing. Although my BFF, who lived with me, and her BF at the time were getting it on in her room and her bed broke, like the frame split in two. It was so loud I came running downstairs to see what happened, and nearly barged in on them. Thankfully she had her door locked; I was clueless as to what was going on inside.

Haha that's an awesome story, I love that you were clueless too.

FI and I cracked his old bedframe years ago when he was still living at home. He told his mom I got excited about something and was jumping on the bed. She was not fooled.

ETA--Now that I think about it, I guess it wasn't <em>technically</em> a lie..

Interesting - I sang competitively through high school and then quit for lack of time.  Now people are always shocked when I sing.  

I was a terrible person at 18. There was a time at work when the funny, weird manager was in a room with me and four male coworkers.  He jokingly said, "raise your hand if you haven't made out with [me]."  No one raised their hands.  

I'm also 100% Scandanavian, even though my family has all been in the States for 4 generations or more.

Hehe. I love telling that story. When we got a bunch of new employees at work we all had to tell an interesting story about ourselves as an icebreaker and I got some REALLY funny looks when I told my story. It was pretty funny.

Late to the party, but.....
I've lost 210 pounds since  2004. I'm still working on being toned though. But, for the first time, almost all of my markers check out healthy (lipids are borderline, but were always off the charts).

Oddly, the further I get away from that weight loss, the less confident I get. I've gotten shyer, and more quiet. It's very strange.

I was married to an asshat douchebag for 4 1/2 years, desperate to make it work - I hate being a failure.
It took me a year to want to take. And now, I've got my wonderful John, whom my family adores. But Iowa winters still suck.

I'll play.My fiance is actually my EX's best friend/old roommate.My ex will actually be at our wedding in November.I don't like him very much,but I guess it was worth putting up with that tool to be with my FI now.

Interesting fact: I was Princess Jasmine at disney world for years.

What a fun thread!  I'm late... but...

Interesting - I have several sets of eyeware that are worth a LOT more than my mortgage and all my monthy bills combined.   Glasses/sunglasses to me are like purses and shoes to other women.

I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. I've never even taken a puff.

[QUOTE]Ben doesn't have a father. Well, he does, but he's never met him and he's not on the birth certificate. It was hard as hell until I met Matt, but I would not trade it for the world. I'm glad that miserable shiit knocked me up because I got an amazing little man and I don't have to deal with the bullshit that comes along with dealing with sharing a child with an ex.

I had an ex write about a song about me. It became mildly popular locally and on college radio. It was not a flattering song.

That sucks, hopefully he didn't use your name.

I modeled a character in one of my books off of a guy who did me a serious wrong, then proceeded to kill him off in a painful way. It was therapudic to say the least.

Posted by MarriedInAFever[/QUOTE]

I had an ex and his band write a song about me too but it was before we started dating (we were friends/acquaintences first). It was called "I Wanna Fuuck [Bob's] Girlfriend," "Bob" being the guy I was dating at the time. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-yell.gif" border="0" alt="Yell" title="Yell" /> I didn't know about the song until I started dating the guy!

MarriedInAFever

I thought the song kinda sucked. But it was catchy. It sounded a lot like Jeff Buckley. It started out kinda sweet and plain. But the chorus was, "Darlin'... darlin'... you make me want to die." We were still dating at the time and I remember hearing the song and being like, "Oh. Ok. We need to talk."

He didn't use my name. But I think of it every time I hear the Plain White Tees song, "Hey Deliah." Poor Deliah.

I wish someone would write a song about me. I'm sure it would be about farts and dildos, but whatever.

I tend to think that I have at least one thing in common with every person I come in contact with.

That sucks, K Byte! Damn musicians. Never had a good relationship with a musician.

MeaghanandMichael

The Billy Joel song, "Only the Good Die Young" was written about my mom's cousin. It was an exaggeration of their relationship but yes, her name was Virginia and she was Catholic.

I have been interviewed on tv three different times. Weird mostly because the events were all totally unrelated and eyars apart. I just have 'that face' I guess.

I would kill for jury duty. I am a freak but I find it SO interesting.

I also came across FI when I was doing something completely out of the norm for me at a time when I should have been somewhere else.  For one brief moment the planets aligned.

Interesting about me would be (and this will give away my age but I don't care much) that my parents escaped from Hungary during the Revolution with a newborn in tow (me).

Oh - I would also kill for jury duty!
