wow this thread has so died out, so I'm gonna revive it...
1. I am allergic to chocolate, dairy, 10 types of grass, any type of mold, every tree except pine, most perfumes, and antibiotics
2. I was a 10month baby instead of 9, and was induced. She was in labor for 1.5 hours.
3. I am the only person in the world w/ my name (yes we've actually checked this out!)
4. I will only drink cold things if I have a straw. Hot things I can deal w/o a straw. If the cup isn't glass or acrylic I must have a lid.
5. I actually floss regularly
6. I speak 3 languages fluently
7. I love dill pickles dipped in mustard
8. I despise ketchup
9. I have a 3 octave vocal range (e flat below middle c to e flat above high c)

So yeah I'm weird. But happy..

ok here's my unique trait.....it's my eyes.

Ya know how the pupil is round....well mine isn't, it goes down like cat eyes (), hence my nick name is Allycat because of it. It's called coloboma, an incomplete iris (the bottom part didn't close). There are two ways of having my eyes, either through genetics or they give you too much oxygen at birth. I was given too much oxygen because I was a preme.
I like my eyes, they r pretty cool looking. Some people notice right off the bat while others don't notice it unless I tell them or someone else notices it.
There's pluses and minuses about my trait, minus is that my eyes let in more light, so I squint alot and wear sunglasses alot. The plus is that I can see better in the dark. On a field trip for my Mammalogy class, we actually did an experiment to see how far I could see againt the others. We found out that I could see farther and clearer than the others. It was pretty cool. Sometimes if I wanna freak people out, I say I got transplanted cat eyes. HEHE. Well that's it for now.

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

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 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 love SNOOPY!

I have gotten out of my car at a stop light to tell the person in front of me that his gas cap was not in.

I have been banana boating!

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.

My lil brother is 18 yrs younger than me.

I can actually decipher my dog's barks.

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

*Despite that I am in Alpha Phi Omega, I almost didn't get my high school diploma on time because I didn't complete my our 50 hour service requirement for graduation. I completed that requirement within the last minute. Matter of fact I HATED service.

*I walked and was potty trained exceptionally early, but I didn't talk in full sentences until I was 4.

... I consider myself to be a sort of renaissance man...

-- I play violin/fiddle, have done so in the school's orchestra (which pays my tuition), a rock band, operas, churches, musicals... but I'm not a music major..

-- I am an anchor/reporter on Channel 22 here in Edmond (school's news station), but I'm not a broadcasting major.

-- I Chair the Judiciary Committee in the Student Senate... but I'm not a poli sci major..

-- I've been the chief educator of what would technically be considered to be 4 candidate classes (we were a colony so really we didn't have them but that's the way/order they were recruited in)...

-- I performed many key tasks in getting our charter... I managed ALL the money for the initiation and the formal following it (our first for both events)... I gathered all but 1 or 2 of the letters of recommendation that went in our petition for charter. I chaired the committee that put the petition together.

-- I'm the 5th man initiated into the ONLY new Sigma Nu chapter to be founded this century (not counting recolonizations)

.... I'm the kind of person that wants to be deeply involved in everything I touch. Jack of all trades... Master of none

-We have three children, all of whom were born in different states -- Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Detroit Michigan and Denver, Colorado.
-Each of their baby books has a page written by the weatherman at the TV station I was working for at those times (Paul (Somebody), WTMJ; Barry ZeVan, WJBK; Larry Green, KCNC) talking about how the weather was that day.
-There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that we wanted to have a child in each of the 50 states.

DeltAlum, is it Paul Joseph? He's still at WTMJ!

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

Do you remember who else was there? We always watch WTMJ news at our house! I don't know if she was there then, but Ann Ballentine (she has a prosthetic arm) was an anchor for a while, and her husband was my junior high Spanish teacher.
