Different facts about ourselves

btb87 · #1 06-10-2004, 01:26 PM

I've been wanting to start this thread for a minute - borrowed the idea from another forum. Performed a search, but madam moderators, if this thread is a repeat, you know what to do!

Some of you probably know things about each other through PM's, IM's and phone conversations, but are there things that you'd like others to know about you? Do you speak several different languages? Do you play an "odd" instrument? Have an "odd" occupation?

I'll start. . .

I am my mother's only child.
I have 4 other half brothers and a sister and have only met 1 of them.
I've only been out of my 'time zone' 3 times in my life.
There are 4 generations of women in my family still living (grandma, mom, me, and my daughter).
I was a news director at a local radio station here in Central Florida for 4 and a half years.

Think that's about it. Yes, I've lived a quiet life!

Anyone else?

I know I'm not the only one. Everyone else can come out too. My boyfriend (

) calls me Monkeypaws because he can't do it.

I'm a Pisces and I have a birthmark on my stomach that looks like a fish.

I used to suck my thumb and did not give it up until my freshman year in college.

I'm the first one in my family to go to college (my mom went on to college after me. I love you Mommy!

)

I'm very prissy but I like to wrestle.

I am the youngest of 2.

I went to the same school from 1st - 8th grade.

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, but I have lived in Indiana, Texas, and South Carolina.

I LOVE vacations. I would not pay bills to go on vacation. (I think this is kinda sick, but I just love to escape).

I was diligently pursuing a degree in Elementary Education, when the Holy Ghost told me that teaching wasn't His plan for me.

I love to write fiction!

I was engaged to a guy and all set to relocate to Brooklyn, when I met my current husband.

I want 2 more children, although my daughter will be 10 this year.

I have traveled to the following states; MN, NY; SC; IN; TX; KS; NV; WI; TN; KY; GA; FL; NC; MD; NJ; and MO. I want to see the entire country.

I have never been out of the USA.
