Great thread!!

Here are some interesting/weird things about me:

I was actually born on my due date - and my mom only knew she was in labor for a few hours before I was born.

I was an only child for almost four years. Then my brother came along and I still act as if I am an only child :D

Said brother was born one month LATE (to the date)

I too can pick things up with and cross my toes. I was in elementary school before I realized that this wasn't normal.

I have never done any type of drugs and have only smoke two cigatettes.

I have only been on one date and I didn't realize it was a date at that time (long story) - BUT I went to my senior prom with 4 guys.

I have never worked in a restaurant but have been a retail slave since I turned 16.

My eyes are grey but they change color to match what I am wearing or what color my surroundings are.

When I was little, I lived in a four story house and the front door was on the fourth floor.

There is a correctional facility(among other things) named after my mom's family.

If I don't stay SUPER busy, I get bored and start not doing things, such as homework. So I am always the one who goes to school full time and works full time in addition to other activities.

I still sleep with my baby blanket- it goes everywhere with me.

I have some unique stuff about me:

I have been a diabetic for 20 years and i am 21.

With that in mind, I was featured on a TV talk show with a made-4-TV Dr when I was in first grade. The show was on diabetes.

My dad and all of his family lived in the Phillipines until he was 17 yet none of them are of Asian decent. And I have asian cousins by blood. (I don't know how that works, it just does...)

I am allergic to mosquito bites.

I have two lil sis' that are about a foot taller than me.

I have travelled all over the country but have never been outside the country... except for Canada. (not that that is bad, I have just never flown overseas.)

My last boyfriend was named Jason. Prior to our relationship, he had dated 2 other Jens and I had dated two other Jasons.

I have very bad luck taking care of pets. I can't even feed a fish on time (which reminds me...)

I am the webmistress for the CHi Delta site and have been for 2 years now. http://home.earthlink.net/~chidelta

I am obsessed with the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I know it sounds weird but I love it!!!

I did not know until today that all people can't pick things up with their toes...I can!

I have a tattoo and looking at me, you would never expect it.

There were only 69 people in my high school graduation class! It was a small private high school and I now go to a school with 48,000 people!

I made straight A's until 11th grade...Damn Chemistry class!

There is a girl in Delta Gamma (Eta Iota chapter) with my exact first and last name!!!

Two of my highschool boyfriends turned gay and are now dating each other!

I kissed my professor freshmen year of college and he gave me an A on my quiz! felt terrible later though!~

I have this weird time thing with the time 12:12...No matter where I am or how long it has been since I have last looked at the clock...I always look at it when it is 12:12...am or pm, somtimes both...It's actually starting to scare me!

Most of my designer purses are New York fakes!

I have always wanted to be a famous actress and actually ahve rehearsed both my Oscar and Emmy acceptance speeches! LOL

I was an extra on Dawson's Creek back when I though it was the COOLEST!!!

I met Mel Gibson while skiing in Aspen , CO!

I can unwrap a starburst in my mouth..yes like the commercial!

My five best friends and I ended up with the exact same GPA in highschool...a 3.9~WOO HOO!:)

I've always secretly wanted to have sex outside...;)

And last but not least...I was supposed to be on the plane that hit the first World Trade Center Tower but had to cancel my flight because my teacher rescheduled our midterm. I was pissed at the time but I bought him flowers the next day of class!

I am the same, exact way! All summer long I couldn't wait for the fall semester to begin because I was so bored. I am currently taking four internet courses and one Mon/Wed evening class. Since I don't really go to class, on my days off from work I am SOOOOOOO bored!! And like you, when I get bored, I begin to not do the things I should be doing. Ahhhhhh!!!

I read my first book at the age of 2.

I am old enough to drink, but I still don't have a driver's license, not even a valid beginner's permit.

I can actually decipher my dog's barks.

*I didn't get my first haircut until I was 18.

Yup. Thanks for the reminder. He's the one. I'll bet none of the rest of the "anchor" team remain.

Re: Re: *bump*

I grew up on a sheep farm and showing livestock, I ave various trophies including a showman of Showman trophy that is over 3 feet tall.

I was named The Good Citizen of the Year by The Daughters of the American Revolution.

My longest relationship ever was 8 weeks, so I'm not really into committment or the suburbs with a white picket fence and 2.5 kids.

This is such an interesting thread... here's mine:

- I can't smell anything because I had spinal meningitis at 8 months old and my sense of smell is so weak that I don't smell ANYTHING.

- I also can pick things up with my toes.

- Speaking of toes, I hate everyone else's feet except my own (they're cute!)

- I get more compliments on my hair color than on any other physical part of me.

- I've lived in 5 houses and 1 apartment within 5 miles of each other for 20 years (I'm 21).

- I've met over 20 celebrities including Mike Myers, James Woods, LL Cool J, Jodie Foster, Jenny McCarthy (She's SOOO NICE!), Ben Stein, Illeana Douglas, and Henry Winkler.

- I'm a HUGE fan of Harley Davidson's, but I don't like most of the riders!

- I don't like gambling unless it's betting on horse races.

- I keep two journals; one with a lock for the "important-no-one-else-can-ever-read" stuff, and one for the "important-but-it-won't-kill-me-if-you-read-it" stuff.

- I used to sleep with my arms crossed over my chest, as if I was dead (now I can sleep in almost any way).

- I've had 5 cars since I turned 16, but never wrecked any of them (fingers crossed that I don't wreck my Beetle).

- I won 2 school spelling bees in elementary school and went on to district where I lost dramatically.

- I feel like I have some sort of "connection" with Reese Witherspoon and Nicholas Cage when I watch their movies.

-- I am very proud of this... in 4th grade I competed in the National Elks Free Throw Contest. I beat all the girls in my age group of my school, my town, and my county. Then I competed against all the girls in my state, and I lost. The funny thing is I shot my free throws granny-style at that time. I got trophies and a plaque so I was very happy about that!

-- I used to model when I was younger--mostly print jobs. I'm on the cover of a parenting book among the pages of text books that I'll never see. But I stopped because my mom didn't like taking me out of school early to go into the city for auditions. I wish I had stuck with it though.

-- I took guitar lessons for a year when I was young. I quit because I wanted to watch TV instead of practice. I would love to take it up again.

-- One of my poems is published in a young poets' anthology. I would love to find the time to write more poetry and have them published someday.

-- When the soap "As the World Turns" came to my campus, I worked as a Production Assistant for the shoot. I met one of the hot actors and when I went to put my arm around him for a picture I elbowed him in the face by accident.

-- My favorite food is movie butter popcorn. I have actually gone to a movie theater and bough popcorn without seeing a movie, just because I was really craving the popcorn.

-- I collect small elephant statues for good luck. So far I have them from Hawaii, Acapulco, California, and I just got a set for Christmas. I also have elephant jewelry. My Little put elephants on my paddle too.

-- I don't really like candy-- only certain chocolates like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Hershey Bars. On Halloween I'd trade my sister all of my candy for her chocolate. And I can't eat semi-melted chocolate. I always freeze them before eating them.
