I can't parallel park worth a schit, even when I'm in my hatchback.

I'm not allergic to anything EXCEPT Sunlight products.

I'm about to cry at this bloody football game.

I've eaten crocodile. And elephant.

I've never seen a mountain range in my life (when I fly over them, it's generally night)

I'm double-jointed.

I won $1000 playing Bingo once.

I can talk with my mouth closed.

I spent several months in a wheel chair when I was 13.

vallyhoo

I'm awesome.

oh wait you probably already knew that.

uhhh I have horrible depth perception, am partially color blind, I know 3 languages and did I mention that I'm awesome?

crfische

...that my vision is horrible, but I can't stand to wear glasses?

...that I didn't start golfing until 3 years ago?

...I hate to fold freaking clothes.

If the world didn't need graphic designers anymore, I'd go back to school to be a mortician. 

I've been called the songbird of my generation. My voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus.

Hole-lee-crap. That is well past legally blind, right? I'm -7.75 and -7.25 with severe astigmatism and I thought THAT was bad.

I can do a cartwheel, but not a back bend or back flip. Never could.

Stackeye210

Did you know that.............

I've broken 10 bones and dislocated 2 all by the time I was 20

I was the minority at every school I went to before college

I can rollerskate all super cool like the people do in movies

I'm really good (and enjoy) assembling home furniture

tlv204

My mom wanted to name me Candace, but call me Candy. I'm glad my dad won.

mandysmear

for realz salt?  that's pretty cool.  in a weird twisted way!

arbolita

Technically you are only legally blind if your vision cannot be corrected or improved with glasses/contacts, and mine can.   I think 20/200 vision is where you start "qualifying" for legal blindness though, and that was my vision in the 5th grade.

My vision is too extreme to be fixed with Lasik.

wadingmoose

I'm named after two of my Mom's students

Arbolita : I'm -14.00 in each eye...I finally have heard of someone with worse eye sight than me!

Sing2phins

I lost the hearing in my right ear at age 7.

I lost most of the hearing in my left ear - overnight - at age 25 (I now have a cochlear implant, and you probably would never know I have a hearing impairment if you met me and I didn't tell you).

I am not engaged yet (but we've been ring shopping twice in the past two weeks!).

I was born in Fargo.

My 8th birthday party had a Cabbage Patch Kid theme (because I had gotten a CPK for the Christmas before my birthday).

FutureMrsTR

My dad wanted to name me Doctor so that no matter what people would have to call me Doctor Mylastname.

I've never broken any bones or needed stitches ever.  I've never had to go to the emergency room for that matter.

I bruise myself almost daily.

I haven't seen my natural hair color since I was 16.  I'm pretty sure it's close to what I have now, but I can't be sure.

I've yet to meet someone with worse vision than me.

I can't stand beer or coffee

I won't eat anything with cooked fruit, except deep fried bananas are delicious!

I'm very shy, but I'm a security guard at a retail store and regularly have to kick out drunk, aggressive people. Makes for interesting work

I've been to 5 concerts in my life. 4 of them I went to for free after winning tickets on the radio. The 5th was Cute is What We Aim For on Monday, They are the only band I've ever been willing to pay to see and I'm so friggin happy I went.

I hate fish, but I eat tuna patties for lunch all the damn time.

ohwhynot

I went skydiving once.  It was incredible. 

I became an aunt when I was 8 years old.

Middle age rocks. 

opalsky007

I can wiggle one of my ears but not the other.

I'm now the only girl in my class of grad students.

I make really delicious, really ugly cakes.

arbolita

I can't even count the number of concerts I 've been to in my life. 

Mr. Arb used to work for one of the most well known radio stations in this area, including on air stuff.  I had several friends know who he was from that when we first started dating.

I have never dyed my hair--not even highlights.

I've always wanted to be a gymnast, but apparently when I was really really little, my mom signed me up for it, but I refused to actually go up for the class, and clung to my mom. She sent me with an aunt to see if I would do it with her, and I still wouldn't, so they had to pull me from the class. It still makes me sad that I never got into it :(

Aw, it was so much fun!  I started when I was younger and taught classes through college.  It's insane the strength you gain from it!

Is it wrong that I am ridiculously jealous of this??  I watched that show every.single.day when I stayed at my grandmother's house during the day in the summers.
