Unique Facts About Ourselves...

[FAB*SpiceySpice]

I brush my teeth in the shower too! My mom thinks this is so odd but I can't help it now, it's just become a habit!

I have never painted my nails any other color than red. All my sisters make fun of me b/c I have about ten thousand different nailpolishes but they are ALL similar shades of red.

I still sleep with the blanket that I came home from the hospital with and a stuffed pink and white cow named Butterscotch that I've had since I was 2

Growing up everyone thought my brother and I were identical twins b/c we had the exact same face, I just had longer hair. My mom even used to put us in coordinating outfits, how silly is that! He is in actuality 1 1/2 years older than I am and now my face thankfully looks somewhat different than his.

[LaDolceVita03]

I just noticed reading back through this thing that I'm not the only one who brushes their teeth in the shower!!!

-My original birth certificate has my name as "Lindsay." My grandmother kept pronouncing it "Leslie" so they changed it to what my dad wanted to call me in the first place- Meghan.

-I'm terrified of haunted houses and the like.

-I've met Mike from the Real World: Back to New York. He was at a Theta Chi party last fall at GMU. He's a T-Chi at Miami of Ohio.

-I have an Alonzo Mourning autographed basketball in my room at home.

-I'm fluent in French but rarely ever use it.

-I'm a hopeless romantic, regardless of what I might say.

-I cry during sad movies (I bawled my eyes out during "The Lion King")

-I'm on the crew for a racing team. We have one half-scale minicup car and a 72 Camaro.

-I have never gotten a ticket or been in an accident. Not too shabby for a girl

-I want to be a parole officer. Why does everyone laugh and call me nuts when I tell them that?

-I have 10 piercings: 3 in each earlobe, 1 in my left tragus, 2 in my left cartilage, and 1 in my nose. My bellybutton rejected twice so I have yet to pierce it again... 3rd times a charm, right?

-I'm a published poet and one of the lines from a poem is being considered for a child abuse hotline billboard

That's all I can think of right now. I'll add more as they come to me.

[ilovemyglo]

I thought of some more:
I was in 5 honor groups, and almost always made the deans list at school- but never told anyone, not even my parents.

I have more male friends than female- that is why I went through rush

I have a cat named GEORGE after the abominal smowman in bugs bunny cartoons.

I am short

My sign language name in high school involved making a curl with your finger near your head and indicating large breasts- given to me by Jerome.

I have recently become infatuated with little things- like little teapots, or little irons, any miniature item.

[annniesk]

short and sweet c'ause otherwise it would be a long night:

I don't have a first language (I learned 2 Spanish and English at the same time and have no preference). When I am really tired I don't pay attention what language I am speaking, this causes some confusion sometimes. The best example is my roomate. Sometimes I'll talk to her and she will look at me like I am crazy, then says "English, honey ENGLISH!!" Oops!

I went to 7 schools between 1st to 12th grade, and completed 11th grade in one semester.

I have moved countries twice, cities three times.

90% of my cousins and aunts and my sister on my dad's side have the same first name. Trust me it's a hispanic thing.

My first airplane ride was when I was two weeks old, going out of the country.

I have been to 5 out of 6 Central American Countries.

I have a heart shape scar on my right knee. When you trace it with a marker it makes a perfect heart!

My favorite: I got a beer for christmas when I was 5 b/c I asked for it. It was cold, wrapped and with a huge bow! My family is laid back, can you tell?

there are tons more but I thought I would keep it short!

[SunnyGirl483]

*I can pick up things with my toes

*I am double jointed in my fingers and my elbows

*I can stick out my tounge and turn it completely sideways

*My friends call me a heartbreaker b/c I have broken up with 95% of the guys I was dating. (I have actualy calculated it!)

*I have an obession with even numbers

*I favor my left side even though I am right handed

*I refuse to leave the house with a pair of sunglasses and my toenails painted....anything less would be so tacky!

-I encouraged my mom to send me to Brownies (she wasn't too familiar with Guiding. She knows that Girl Guides existed, but she didn't know that the younger branch is called Brownies. Sparks (known as Daisies in the US) didn't exist until I was 8 or 9)

-My high school is in the John Irving novel "A Prayer for Owen Meany". In the book, the lead character teaches there.

-I'm also more religious than my parents, but feel uncomfortable going to church because I worried about what they'd think

-I'm Asian, yet I own very, very, very few Sanrio products. I don't have cutesy cell phone accessories either.
