Re: So many new people! POLL

Where are you in OK? OKC; The Village, specifically.
Do you have kids? I have a 6-yr-old step daughter. She's delightful. Deciding whether we should have bio kids is currently weighing heavily on my mind. We did talk about it before marriage, but both left it that we're open to the idea, and will see how we feel. Lately, I can tell that H would love a baby, but I'm not 100% sold yet.
What is your occupation? I'm the project manager at a small advertising agency. Basically, I manage deadlines, assignments and quality control. Managing creatives can be likened to herding cats, but I love my job.
What is something unique or memorable about you? Let's see... I taught English in China for a year in '05/'06. Chinese was my minor at OU, and I was close to fluent at one point, but not anymore.
I'll take my own poll since I'm a "newbie" haha.

What is something unique or memorable about you? I'm half-blind, and can never see a 3D movie. Parallel parking is almost impossible for me since I have pretty much no depth perception. However, most of the time, you can't tell that I have this problem. I'm also quite outspoken, as you have probably already noticed here, but as a child I was painfully shy and afraid to talk to my own relatives.How long have you been married? 1 year 7 months

What is something unique or memorable about you? I'm half Hawaiian, half black. I don't think it's that unique, but apparently, it is [and that's the best I got right now].Me, too! I had two eye surgeries when I was a kid, and I can't see 3D movies either. Most of the time I don't even notice it, and I *can* see out of both eyes, my brain just doesn't use them both at the same time.
