Tell me something about yourself
Something that people might not immediately know about you. Totally random. Yes, I'm bored.
For example: The amount of random facts I know about various ocean liners throughout history is staggering.
Books read in 2012: 49

Re: Tell me something about yourself
I'm bored, too. Slow day around here.
Random fact: I have this massive phobia of needles. I used to throw fits when I got shots, so they'd have to tie me down before they could do it. I'm better now, but if I know I'm going to get a shot or give blood, I don't sleep the night before. I'm too nervous to sleep.
I have always ,since I was little, got panic attacks when I am around large stuffed animals. I'm not talking about deer or any other little thing. I mean grizzly bears or anything like that. I can't go into Cabela's or Bass Pro. I actually can't even go to museums because the dinosaur exhibits really freak me out.
I have an identical twin.
I am obsessed with white fudge covered oreos (good thing they're only available during the holidays!)

I LOVE going to the dentist! Seriously love it--I could almost fall asleep while getting my teeth cleaned, so relaxing.
H and I didn't have sex at all on our trip to Jamaica.
It was hands down, the best vacation we've taken together. All relaxing, no fights, tons of chemistry. We were sofucking tired by the end of the day that we had no desire.
The week after we got home we made up for it.
I wouldn't say I love it, but I've definitely dozed at the dentist before. Yesterday I'm pretty sure I took a little nap between when the tech took the bands off my braces and when the dentist came to re-band them.
So I guess that's my other random fact, I have braces as an adult. That combined with the acne I've developed for no apparent reason recently makes me look like a 15 year old.
I joined you on the acne train.
I went to the derm and got on some meds though and it's gotten significantly better. I HATE adult acne.
I speak Mandarin Chinese (though, not fluently).
I can't ride a bike. Just never really had the desire to learn.
I think we need some additional info on the story of how you know this
LOL, well I come from a long line of farmers. When we were real little my bother and I would get bored in the fields so we would "swim" in the wheat trucks. Well one day we had a truck full of pig feed and it was close enough to wheat for us, so we hoped on in there. Afterward my eyes were swollen shut, my skin itched and I could barely breath.
Well I'm a little surprised by the few people who said they like/love the dentist (I thought I was the only one) I fall into the love category. When I was little I needed a root canal and my birthday was coming up, so I begged my Dad to let me get the root canal on my birthday..I did not get my birthday wish that year.
I also have a fear of mice and small rodents.. I have gotten better as I have gotten older but I cant even walk on the side of pet store with them.
@Mcgillicuddy13: I totally need lessons in speaking Chinese, the Hubs is officially over there. I'm planning a trip for Feb, unless I can find a way to go over for a much longer period of time with someone to watch my house and have everything here taken care of.
I like to put garlic salt on my watermelon, I have done this since I was little and my whole family thinks i'm insane.
I don't eat marshmallows or whip cream, just the thought of it makes me gag and want to vomit.
I bat and golf left handed but do everything else right handed.
I LOVE dogs and if I had the space I seriously would adopt a dog every month.
I hate needles too. We got married in Oct. 2004 and had to have blood tests. The law changed in Nov. 2004 that no more blood tests were needed. I totally would have postponed our wedding date if I had known that. I have to lay down when I get a shot because needles make me woozy - I start sweating, heart pounding, tears, etc!
I don't like whipped cream either. It makes me feel like there's a big glob of foam in my mouth.
I cannot stand going to the dentist! I would rather go to the gyno than the dentist, any day.
I'd be happy to help!
You've got a PM, btw.
Hold on here - really? I am as well.....
When I was 2.5 I fell out of my mom's car (while she was driving) and luckily no one was coming down the usually busy street. My oldest brother (12 years older) was holding me as we were only down the street from our home but my brother still has issues with his "carelessness." I remember he fed me donuts and orange juice after because he felt so guilty!
I have a sister that is 4 years older and we are always mistaken as twins.
My dad reads palms, gives tarot card readings and considers himself a psychic of sorts.
