Well, let's see.....

I can stuff my entire fist into my mouth

I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue

I have had my hair every color possible in the "real hair color" spectrum (meaning no blue, green, etc.)

When I was a kid I had over 250 Barbie (and Barbie-type) dolls. Anyone remember Sindy, Darci, Tuesday Taylor, Candi, etc?

I used to jump down an entire flight of basement steps onto the concrete floor below on a regular basis and NOT get hurt

I smoke cigars

I rescue animals; I stop and get turtles who are trying to cross the road and take them to a safe location for example

I have appeared in all forms of media; television, radio, recording, film, and print

In the 5th grade I participated in a picket/protest against a teacher at my school

Kelly, went back and checked your site! If I forgot, thank you for the PIX for me!!!!!!

I never shot any comp. as they thought everyone wanted to be Robin Hood!

My most fun was shooting an arrow in the air and seeing how close I could get to it when it came down!

That was the old days, had better EYES and REFLEXes!!!!

AAAAAAAH! The good old days!

OK .. these are mine ..

- I was born on the February 29, 1980 (leap day)

- I was born in a volcano city in Indonesia, and experienced some volcano eruptions, eventhough not from the same one by my city

- I am ambidextrious

- I LOVE Iowa (I think I'm a freak - just joking!)I really do love Iowa

- Since I lived in Indonesia, I know how to drive on the left side of the road. When I moved to the US for the first time, it took me a while to be familiar with the road system and the metrics

- I'm not afraid to needles. My dad is a doctor, and I used to play with needles and stringe (secretly, of course

It's fun! ). And when my dad took the acupuncture course, he practiced on us. Yeah, during that period, I tried my best to avoid my dad - otherwise, I would end up in my bed with lots of needles sticking up from my body!

- I love to travel, and I've been in 14 countries and 38 states (and 3 Canadian provinces)

- I have three favorite spots in the world:
The Eiffel Tower Square (Paris), the Michigan Ave. bridge (Chicago) between the Wrigley Building and Chicago Tribune, and the Place Jacques-Cartier (Montreal)

- My favorite city is San Antonio (go Texas!), esp. the River Walk

- I'm horrible in English grammar

- I HATE clowns ... freak me out

- My dream house is the castle of the Mummy Returns - like the British Museum with lots of artifacts. My favorite character is Indiana Jones

- I always do laundry every other week, because of my limited underwear (the limiting factor), which is good

, maybe?

I visited San Antonio in November 2001 ... for our traveling studio (landscape architecture).
Yes, River Walk is really neat.
Are you in San Antonio? You're lucky!

Just wanted to say happy Fiesta, Lifesaver- I was in town last week and had forgotten it was about to be Fiesta time-that is the one thing about S.A. that I miss, especially NIOSA. BTW my dad also served in WW2, he will be 78 this year.

THANKS!! Viva Fiesta to you too!

Did Oyster Bake on saturday. (Went looking for SATXAPhi at her booth, but missed her) Nothing like spending the saturday with 65,000 of your fellow townies. Watched the Texas Cavaliers river parade on TV - didnt feel like fighting my way downtown (for those not in the know - a parade where the floats actually float.) Thursday will be NIOSA - College Nite - yeah! Then friday is Battle of Flowers. Definately will be there. A friend works for KLRN, so we have great seats on the route, and a free catered meal. hells yeah. I have never been to the Flambeu parade, but do dig some fiesta. Of course have to deal with the chicks getting into the royalty gowns. "show me your shoes" lol. (I bet this sounds insane to those who have never been to Fiesta.- basically for the last 110 years the town has shut down for a week to drink and commerate texas independence)

BTW - did you see the ladies from the conservation society on Good Morning America this AM? They were talking to the weatherman dude. Busted a stage crew guy with a cascaron. hahah. You know you are from the Alamo city if you feel the breaking of egg shells on your head and your instant reaction is to cover your beer to keep the confetti out.

See the official Fiesta! website: HERE

aggieAXO · #**143** 04-24-2002, 03:46 AM

I didn't see that but I did see Debra Daniels (Ithink it was KMOL) bust an egg on the weatherman last Friday-haha!!

Fun facts about me:

My mother named me after a character from a romance novel she read at the hospital. She was in labor for just under thirty six hours.
My little brother was named after Days of Our Lives character any one remember Dr. Evan Mitchell.

I've broken all of my fingers at least once, my right arm, and managed to put my kneecap through my acl.

I've been in 3 major automobile wrecks. The last on was the day after i graduated from college.

I didn't see the intial ordeal on 9-11 because I was having an operation. I woke up an life had changed as we knew it.

I'm die hard REPUBLICAN. I saw Bush speak in 7 states. I even went to the national convention in Philly. I have pictures with the Bushes, Nancy Regan, Newt Gingrich, and John McCain.

I'm a member of NRA and have around 15 handguns, 2 rifles and a black powder gun.

I'm also a huge James Dean fan.

I'm a KD legacy through my mother and chose to go KDT instead.

Okay Enough about me

Hmmm....
okay here it goes

I'm indian... everyone in my family has an "American" name except for me... including my parents who were both born and raised in India....

My middle name rhymes with my last name.... (hence no one knows it...)

My dad has five brothers and one sister (the second in the family is a girl)
My mom has five sisters and one brother (the second in the family is a boy)

My dad is 356 days older than my mother... on leap years he is 357 days older... my mom and dad met each other on their wedding day.... 25 years later they are still going strong....

My active number in the sorority is 23... (michael jordan's number)
My ex-boyfriend's number in his fraternity was 45... (michael jordan's number when he came back to play for the bulls)

Thought it was fate.... until
Every boyfriend I've been with has broken up with me either on an anniversary or another holiday....

... maybe I should wait til my wedding day to meet my next boyfriend....

I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF PIGEONS AND SEAGULLS... I live in a city which has plenty of both....

I'm a MATH EDUCTION MAJOR.... but I hate MATH

I was named after a song, that both my parents don't remember and neither can sing....

I am the youngest in my line and crossed at 17, though I am often mistaken for the oldest.... My birthday is consistently on sweetest day - fits me pretty well.... but I hate the holiday...

I can read and write the language that my parents speak, but I can't speak or understand it....

I have been confused for a number of races including: mexican, peurto rican, greek, polish, russian black, and filipino.... I think I look nothing like these races but go figure... I even got mistaken for looking like Toni Braxton... believe me guys, I look nothing like her...

I won a couple beauty pageants back in the day.... but never got the money I was supposed to recieve from them....
I think that's it... if I come up with more I'll let you know....
