Five interesting things people don't know about you.
Go!
1. I collect mugs, miniature books, and state quarters.
2. I have this idea in my head for a cafe with these mini cake desserts. (But not cupcakes; it's different.) I came up with it freshman year. I even have some sketches of it in my sketchbook. Top secret stuff.
3. I was born with cerebral palsy because the umbilical cord got wrapped around my neck, but it's very very mild. Many people with CP have trouble walking or speaking, but mine only left me with a very slight limp in my right foot and some random difficulties playing the violin. No one notices unless I tell them, that's how minor it is. I was pretty lucky.
4. I really love corsets. Love 'em. But I don't own one yet. Call me anti-feminist. Sorry, ok!
5. I am good at spelling. I went all the way to the local televised bee (NOT the big one, the Syracuse one) in eight grade, and it was pretty fly. Now I love crosswords. I credit my grandfather, who used to write crossword puzzles. :)
When I had them I was either sitting in bed, sort of leaning back or squatting(not lying on my back with my feet in the air like they make you do in the hospital....) So, my first daughter came out really slow. For several pushes her head was sticking out and looking up at me, so I grabbed her little arms/shoulders and pulled her out...
:o
1. I can turn just about anything someone says into something dirty. I am the queen of sexual innuendo.
Yay! Me too - it's so funny
I check the closet before I turn off the light and leave no crack in the door.
hey at least you turn off the light - my bf is scared of the dark so we have to sleep with the light on every night!
2. ive been doing really intricate origami since i was 5..
wow, I am so jealous of this - I love origami! (but have never bothered to learn!)
OK, now to think of my 5!
1) when we were kids me and my sister had a live in nanny. 9 yrs after she started working for us, we found out my dad had been having an affair with her for 8 & 1/2 of those 9 years. This was nearly 20 years ago and my dad and ex-nanny have been happily married for the past 16 years. There is almost the same age difference between my dad & my (now) stepmum, as there is between me and my stepmum and the same as there is between me and my half brother. (ie my dad = 56, step mum = 43, me = 28, half brother = 14)
2) when I was 17 I started seeing a guy 2 weeks before he got married. He told me it was an arranged marriage and so he didn't love his wife and I carried on seeing him. His marriage lasted about 2 months. We carried on seeing each other for over 2 years before he asked me to move in with him. I said no even though I was madly in love with him as I was about to go to uni (which he knew and supported).
A week later he changed his telephone number, changed his job and basically cut off all possible ways for me to contact him ever again. About 2 months after this I found out he had been seeing 2 other women for the whole time and had never been married before in his life. However, he got married about a month after he 'dumped' me. I still don't really know what the hell was going on, apart from the fact he was obviously a compulsive liar.
3) I am incredibly scared of death - I logically know that there's nothing for me to fear, but am still terrified of it. I can't decide if it's the thought of dying and the uncertainty of what happens after, or the fact that it could be incredibly painful.
4) I am straight, but have kissed 2 girls (not that shocking I know, but if the people that actually knew me IRL knew this they would be mega-shocked)
5) When I was younger (about 12) my sisters cat started meowing outside my bedroom window in the middle of the night to be let in through the window. I didn't let him in as he was still intact and used to 'spray' all over my room. The next day one of our neighbours found him dead in their garden - we think he had been hit by a car. I still feel so guilty about this as his death was my fault. Sometimes I still apologise to him in my head and ask for his forgiveness.

*hug* That made me sad. :'(
I can't get over that photography pink, those pictures are so beautiful, they make me almost sad. I agree with bp - the one with kind of long hair, black shirt, and glasses, and it looks like you're standing in front of an abandoned airplane hanger?
Pinkerbell - I am dying to know the story behind the Asylum pictures on your boyfriend's site....amazing!!
Yes, the one in front of the old airplane hangar is me. It actually won an award at a portrait competition. We love going out there to take pictures, there are a ton of abandoned hangars, and random houses, it's such a great place for pictures.
My bf and I are from Santa Barbara, and up in San Luis Obispo (where Hespy lives), there is a very old, very abandoned and VERY creepy asylum. My bf and his buddy Vince love to go on adventures. So one night they went up there, tried to break in but all the windows/doors were boarded shut, so they climbed a tree to get on the roof, and lowered themselves down a hole in the roof with a rope. If it wasn't my bf who told me the story, I wouldn't have believed it. So yeah, it was creepy as hell, and he took pictures. Ick, i get goosebumps just thinking about it.
LOL! Yes, I was definitely roaring loudly at the time...
And AC, no I was not scared at all...I don't know why. It was one of the few things in my life that I knew was capable of doing.
I am still freaking out about your "accident"...that is an amazing story. I keep wanting to ask you what you plan to do next, but I don't want to seem to pushy.
Maybe you can help me give birth (if I do). You may ask me whatever you wish; I would love for you to. What I plan to do next? I really dunno...Oh, to open a cafe/bakery with KMK! ;) I really dunno...I guess now we're just waiting for P to do his school..and see where we go from there...It's weird!
I have so many more crazy stories! :wow:
AC.. yeah.. thanks for be glad for me getting off heroin.. that shit is brutal.. i did so much messed up stuff.. i stole every piece of gold jewelry i could get my hands on from my mom/grandma/BF grandma etc.. i slept w/ people.. i was homeless.. i used dirty needles.. everything bad you can think of i did it.. and i didnt want to stop for most of the time.. i finally had to cuz i had absolutely no way of getting any more money and my mom hunted me down to send me to rehab.. which i almost died in.. i was the 2nd most sick person they had ever seen.. i lost 30 lbs in 2 weeks and was 90lbs by the end.. i seriously lived off of canned peaches for 2 weeks.. its the only thing i didnt puke up.. i couldnt even hold down water.. yeah.. dont do heroin.. heh.. but ive been clean almost 3 years now.. oh and i was vegan the whole time.. yeayy!
oh and VS.. thanks for liking me more hehe.. i will always like you too.. tho im way jealous of your mad picture taking skills.. how you get your food to glow?! its so pretty!
i have more fun things i want to share that other peoples responses elicited:
1. i also am a certified scuba diver.. certified in open water, advanced diving, deep diving, and rescue diving.. i have also got the bends and had to spend time in a recompression chamber.. now that sucked..
2. ive been doing really intricate origami since i was 5.. i started by just looking at the pictures.. i didnt understand the word directions..
3. i got married in a kimono.. also, i got married 2 times.. our family didnt know about the first time.. it was on 6/6/06.. and it was at sunken city.. the place where they pour out Donny's ashes in the Big Lebowski.. the second time was 12/10/06 and the family was there.. i walked down the aisle to the black metal german band Bethlehem hehe.. and had pink hair..
4. i have a tongue, navel and 13 ear piercings.. up next nipples and girlie parts! oh my! >:D
5. i am obsessed w/ symmetry, yet my ear piercings are asymmetrical (5 in one and 6 in the other, a 6 gauge in the bottom hole of one ear and a 5/8" plug in the other) and only have tattoos on my left side.. but i will sit there and make sure all my veggies are perfectly cut up and layer my sandwiches in a very systematic perfectly symmetrical order.. man im weird.. ;D
Oktokrewl you are one interesting chick! Yay to you for staying clean. ;)b
eta: Oktokrewl you are one interesting WOMAN not chick,lol ;D
2. I HATE talking on the phone. I used to talk on the phone for hours on end when I was in middle and high school, now I rarely answer my phone. Everyone gives me a hard time about it and takes it personally. :^
I HATE it as well.....but I still MAKE myself answer..sometimes. I also really hate calling people...I get really anxious. Like, calling to make appointments and such things...takes me a while to prepare myself (I have to swallow and clear my throat a bunch of times..and breathe).
*shameless plug*
my boyfriend is a photographer, and he has done some fine art nudes, check em out!!
www.sesphotography.com
see if you can figure out which one is me!
Beautiful work!!! Very artistic and beyond lovely.
ok,ill play...
I hate the phone too. I screen all calls. I heart caller ID.
1. I am not a natural blonde.or redhead.or probably this color brunette.( i know, its a surprise to you who've met me! lol) I have been dying my hair since i wasin eighth grade and havent stopped since. At least now,they are colors that somewhat resemble what nature could deliver. One ofmy most disasterous adcventures involvedusing Sun INand then later getting a perm. My hair fell off and frizzed out,they hadto cut it short, it was brassy redand kinky. I looked like the Wendys girl. ;D
2. My longest relationship was only about 7 months. and it was a lame 7 months.
3. I dropped out of HS when i was 17. I got my GED (*good enough diploma). HS was a waste to me,i too was a potheadfor muchof it.
4. I have tried to commit suicide several times...the firstwaswhen i was about 10yrs old. I tried to choke myself w/ my hands. i stopped when i couldnt breathe. :D
5. when i was little, i used to sneak and eat most of the candy bars that we were supposed to sell for raising money. I,daddy's little girl, was sitting on my dads lap and he said that "whoever" it was should fess up... ,or else he would die froma heart attack when he was forty yrs old. It scared meso much, I of course admitted it to him.
He made it until almost52, where he died from a genetic heart condition on the appalacian trail. I still wonder....

Ya, I hate talking on the phone too. I have to be in the right "mood".... when people call and I don't want to talk I just ignore it. So, the other morning my brother in law called before I'd had a cup of coffee (yes, I consume a lot of coffee), I of course ignored it because why do I want to talk to my brother in law....especially pre-coffee. He kept calling like very 5 minutes! Finally I answered and chewed his ass! All he could say was "well...why didn't you just answer in the first place?"

were all the times you tried to kill yourself when you were younger?
were all the times you tried to kill yourself when you were younger?
No, i think my last serious attempt was maybe 19ish? But an ongoing ED since i was abut 13, until about1.5 years ago,was as self destructive,maybe worse,b/c it was slower. But w/ having diabetes, and not taking insulin *and thus losing copious lbs* you go downhill VERY fast. I was in the hospital almost every month at some points.
I think my when my BFF killed himself at that pivotal point was what really kicked me in the head, and i got a realitycheck. I just realized that life is sooo fleeting and can be taken away so easily, like WTF was i doing???
1. I have countless interests, hobbies, what-have-you..I will be interested in one thing, get really into it and then lose interest and try out something else..luckily I'm good about keeping certain things on the backburner so I can come back..I've been interested in cooking, health food, veganism, guitar, writing music in general, backpacking/hiking, knitting/crocheting, drawing/painting, film making, entrepreneurialship/countless ideas for music shops/restaurants/businesses, organic and sustainable farming, sustainable development, reknewable energy, classic cars, dogs, cats, tattoo's, singing, many many different music phases, English, math, biology, chemistry, engineering, acoustics, the environment, politics, winemaking, writing, journalism, being multi-lingual, ethnomusicology.
I've seriously considering turning most of these things into career paths..realistically, I won't..but there are a few I'll pursue.
2. I rarely talk about anything that is on my mind with people. In fact, typing all of this is pretty rare for me..I like to sit on the sidelines and observe people or just allow people to unload all whatever racks their brain onto me.
3. I'm somewhat of a loner..I prefer to go it alone when figuring out certain problems whether they be in life, academic, artistic, etc..however, I'm learning to open up more and allow people in.
4. I make really strong emotional attachments to music, places, films, and some objects. Whether it reminds me of times I spent with friends/family in the past or of my ex-girlfriend, I can become pretty emotional depending on my mood. I'm learning to channel this and turn it into writing/music.
5. Never seen a Star War's movie.
Excellent post :)

I only count the first three (Episodes IV, V & VI) as Star Wars.
