Poll: 5 things
Give us 5 random facts we would (possibly) be surprised to know about you...
Re: Poll: 5 things
1 - I took out my belly button ring last week...I had had it for almost 12 years!
2 - I have a true enemy in life. ?
3 - I own enough suits that I could probably wear one for every day of the month and still have some left over.
4 - I'm stingy - I hate to spend money and if I have less than a certain amount in my checking account or my savings account, I hyperventilate.
5 - I've known my husband since we were 8 years old...we went to school together but didn't start dating until we were 26 (after not seeing or speaking to each other for 8 years).?
1) I played the violin for 10 years.
2) My belly button has been pierced twice.
3) If you get to know me IRL I can be REALLY outgoing and sometimes I annoy myself because of it.
4) I have never smoked a cigarette.
5) I complain about my height all the time but I really love it!
1) I attended college my entire Senior Year of High School (I think I had like 2 classes back at my actual high school. LOL)
2) I didn't know I had a 4th brother until I was 13 and he was 30.
3) I've never broken a bone... or had stitches.
4) My husband and I have seriously discussed adopting children, or fostering children once we're in a better financial state.
5) (I am really struggling here... you guys all know everything about me, I think. LOL) I have cars on the brain... I'm nonstop weighing our options for trading in MH's car.
1) I had a pierced eyebrow in college and I loved it
2) I'm deathly afraid of bridges, even looking at them sends me into panic and if I'm driving over one no one can talk to me.
3) I went by a different last name throughout my schools years b/c I wanted to be the same as my mum, brother and sister.
4) I'm pretty shy until I get to know people, which many times people read as me being a snob.
5) I was asked to leave guitar lessons when I was 7 b/c I was so bad, to this day I have no musical abilites what so ever.
Believe it or not, this can sometimes apply to me as well (often applies to me in large groups of people):
1. I was a singer from the age of ten to eighteen. I sang in multiple competitions, won several awards, and performed during the nutcracker which was a national travelling show.
2.I was in the national honor's society in high school and now college.
3. When i had pets while living at home they were always female never male and i have no idea why.
4. I cant stand my birthstone, i think its ugly. (November topaz)
5. I volunteered for five years at a hospital and was also in a hospital explorer's group at another hospital because i wanted to become a neonatal nurse. I decided when i was a senior in high school to go down a different path.
1) I have three tattoos and had all three of them by the time I was 20.
2) I am an "observer". I come off as shy when I first meet people but it's really me just seeing what type of person you are. Once we get to know each other, I don't shut up.
3) I have a half sister that I never really met (well I was a baby so that doesn't count). She lives in CA and nobody on Mark's side of the family knows about her. It would be a huge scandal.
4) I have an irrational fear of semi-trucks. I seriously tense up when driving next to them on the expressway. I alway feel like they are going to sideswipe me or tip over.
5) Growing up, I had this problem of having food touch. I've gotten better but there are still some things that should remain separate. If they do touch, I won't eat the parts that touched one another.
1) I played soccer from the time I was 4 all the way through high school.
2) I slept with MH on our first date.
3) I can't eat certain foods because of their texture (like Jell-O).
4) I was a Huggies model when I was a couple of months old.
5) I have my pilot's license (I'm sure you guys know this but I couldn't come up with anything else!)
I love reading all of these. You girls are interesting!
1. I've only met 3 of my grandparents. Out of the 3 that I did meet, I didn't see them in person more than 1-2 times.
2. Sometimes I think I am a bit OCD. I have rituals that I must do before laying in bed and if I don't do them, I don't feel right and have to get up and do them.
3. I've never had a one night stand.
4. I speak Croatian fluently.
5. I did an internship in L.A. at CBS Studios in college for 2 months. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
1. MH is the only boyfriend I ever had
2. I've played the flute for 14 years (still play)
3. I was on our high school softball team and played church league softball
4. I had surgery when I was 7 after being misdiagnosed for 5 years (I literally had bladder infections everyday of my life)
5. My first car was posessed and rolled over my parents 10 foot retaining wall twice! (of course no one was in it)
I cannot let my food touch or I don't eat it.
1. I am one of four girls, my dad was one of four boys, my grandfather was one of four boys and my great grandfather was one of four boys. My sisters and I all have boys nicknames that we got by.
2. I have two tattoos
3. I was arressted in college
4. I have had a panic disorder since I was in a bad accident in college, I am assuming the accident just triggered it
5. I have to check my alarm clock 10-15 times before I go to sleep
1. I have no cousins at all. I only have 6 family member still living.
2. I can not touch butter. I also can not eat butter unless ALL of it is completely melted.
3. I collect stamps, cat figurines and decorative plates
4. I played the clarinet in jr. high. I actually didn't understand how to play it that well so when I was in band, I just pretended to play by moving my fingers.
5. I hate cities. I do mean HATE. I can't go into any city (big or small) without freaking out. I hate being in a car with so many streets and cars darting this way and that. Theres too many people and the one way streets and set up of most cities confuse the heck out of me.
1. I did ballet for 17yrs and for 10yrs in a row I auditioned for the Albany/Bershire Ballet Nutcracker and made it every time
2. I am a quiet observer when I first meet people-have been thought to be a *** because of it, but will talk your ear off once I get to know you
3. I cannot stand for things to be crooked-I am all into things being symmetrical
4. I was sad for a brief moment that I was having 2 girls. I wanted so bad to give my husband a son-he never had a father in his life. This went away in about 2 seconds after he told me there is nothing that he can't do with his girls that he could do with a boy.
5. I cannot stand to go to bed with dishes in the sink/bottles that need to be washed. I work so late though some nights I have heard to let this go a bit
1. I have a tattoo on my back that is pretty large. Goes from my lower back up to the middle of my back.
2. I had my belly button pierced but took it out before the wedding.
3. Like Caro, I am usually shy when you first meet me which comes off as being standoffish.
4. I played soccer from the pee wee days all the ways through college. When I graduated college, I found a women's league locally and played up until a couple of years ago.
5. Like Mandy, I have so many suits it's obscene. I really need to think them out.
