OMG ... Are you all right?
I've been in only one car accident, and that wasn't my fault ... You know, winter in Iowa is rather slick. One car accident is ENOUGH for me.
I've been in one flight "accident" when we had turbulances (sp?) three times in a row during a snow storm above Tennessee, and the oxigen mask dropped down from the compartment. Not really enjoying that too much.

Wow! I just read all 11 pages of this thead, and you all are incredibly interesting! I feel so dull in comparison, but here goes:

~~I'm the first person in my family ever to go to college

~~My parents both had a strong feeling when I was born that they should name me Ginger, but didn't know why. I had black hair up until I was in early primary school, when it started to lighten into a colour that can only be described as "Ginger"

~~I have a phobia of standing water, and therefore, never learned to swim and have never been on a boat. Yet I live on a lake.

~~I was a music minor, but neither play an instrument nor sing.

~~I can wiggle my ears.

~~I can trace my family history back to the Revolutionary war on one side, and on the other side I am only a second generation american.

~~I lost my virginity to a married man (although I didn't know at the time) and I don't regret it.

~~My parents knew my ex-fiance before they knew me

~~I speak with a southern accent when I'm nervous (I'm from Wisconsin), and I spell most words in English form.

~~I'm the only person in my family...ever...to not have been married by age 20.

~~I can only sleep if someone else is in the room or the TV/radio is on.

~~I have two half brothers that I didn't meet until I was in college.

Hmm...I think that's it! Ooh, one more:

~~In high school I was voted Female Most likely to be bald by 25

...

I have the same name as my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, and plan to name my son the same.

Theyve all had the same job.

I was born in Memphis, lived there for three weeks, and have never been back.

I got a 1490 on my SATs and actually got the highest score in my school (bright buncha kids, huh?)

Ive been in three car accidents before the age of 18, and the only reason I dont have permanent injuries is because I wasnt wearing a seat belt (although I lost a friend that same way, and now wear it even for block long drives, despite my history)

Ive come very close to breaking my spine twice, once surfing, once high school wrestling, and havent done either since (havent really gotten over the surfing thing, and state quarter finals would have been my last match if it had been my first of the season due to the injury)

Im 6' 1'', 218 lbs and scared out of my mind of spiders. Even pictures of spiders. I know it sounds weird, but trying to explain a phobia is impossible.

Despite being an educated person, I thoroughly enjoy pro wrestling. Ive watched it forever, and I feel that anyone that makes judgements about the people who do without watching a single show themselves is an ass.

Im very proud to be Southern. I have always lived below the Mason-Dixon line, yet I do not:
-discriminate on the basis of race
-tip cows
-drive a muddy pickup truck
-understand how a man doesnt even think of holding the door for a woman

I can name every U.S. President in order.

I can name the capital of any country in the world.

I can put my feet behind my head and walk on my hands.

I cant write with my left hand.

I cant use scissors with my right hand.

I thought fraternities were lame as hell until my first fraternity party.

EagleChick19 · #**156** 07-08-2002, 01:45 PM

- I'm the first grandchild to attend college ( & will graduate!)
- I went to HS with an A & F model.
- A famous alum of my high school is Kyle Brady (I forget which football team he plays for...might be the Jets)
- I backed a car into a telephone pole when I was 9.
- It took 2 times to pass my driver's test.
- I'm the first greek in the family.
-My bro and I are born in the same month (but 2 weeks apart)
-I love the state of Louisiana right now.
- I can still whistle and snap my fingers.

Wow...we've got some similarities.
*Sleeping with some sorta light on.
*Bonfire at age 19, and stayin home alone at 19
*I was an overachiever in elementary school. I became dumb in junior high, and in high school I was average-dumb.
*I'm goin into my 4th year of college and just declared a major.
*I hate driving on the highway alone.
*I tried to come into the world in early December, and was born on January 7th with the cord around my neck.

I think the name thing is funny, and I can't believe ur ACT scores! That's crazy!

Damn. HaHa...My funny thing was that I fell asleep during the Math and Science portions, but woke up each time with about 15 minutes or so and got like a 30 or 31 on math and around a 28 in science....hahaha.

A guy I knew got a 36 on everything except reading...on that he got a 9 I think....

stmuprncez · #**163** 07-14-2002, 11:12 PM

i sleep with an Ultimate Warrior wrestling buddy every night since I was six and no matter where I go i have to have it.

I often watch movies and memorize them and recite them as my own lines.

Every time a guy has dumped me or cheated on me it was with a girl named Christina.

Ever since I was a little girl they have called me princess because when i was born i was bald and when my hair grew in it looked like a princess crown around my head.

i use to be obsessed with wrestling. Like really.. i use to paint my face and go watch them and the whole nine yards.

I love hello kitty!!

Me too!

I just got a pink Hello Kitty cordless phone. It is SO spiffy. Target has a ton of great Hello Kitty stuff. I'd love to get the toaster that toasts her face onto the bread.

-I am a member of the Des Moines (Iowa) Public Schools hall of fame, mostly for test scores

-I'm a huge baseball geek

-My brain works very 'mathematically' - this translates into good mastery of language and music as well (but nothing else)

-I think in song lyrics - often I pick up lyrics the first time I hear a song, and it can take me days to get songs out of my head

-on the same note, I'm a huge pop-music geek, and I love to play guitar (but hate playing in front of people)

-My grandfather earned 17 high school letters, my father 6, and myself 4 . . . only 4 of these letters (total) overlap in subject.

-The song "Santeria" by Sublime has been playing during almost every major relationship event in my life.

-When I wake up, I can often guess the time before looking at the clock (to the minute; we're talking like 50% of the time)

-I'm the only golfer in my extended family without a hole in one (most have multiple).

-I was born the same day as my best friend growing up (within 15 min of each other), and we've known each other since we were 3.

-I honestly love Iowa, and often miss it when I'm at school in Boston (not my actual house, but the area).
