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. :)
4. i have a fear of being fat and i believe i have an ED not otherwise specified. i binge but dont purge, sometimes restrict and am obsessed with food. i question if ii became vegan for the right reasons or if it was just another way of controlling what i eat. but i dont see all of this as enough of a problem to seek help. ive also never admitted any of this to anybody although i think pretty much everyone who is close to me knows i have issues with food.
whoa. that is me.

I'm right there too....I'm totally obsessed with getting fat but I love to eat. I feel guility if I eat too much and I end up purging.... I go thru periods were I do it alot and sometimes not at all. I've told my husband about it but that's it.

i agree, for me it all goes back to guilt. but instead of purging (ive done it but i hate throwing up and the concept just doesnt make sense to me...i feel like im wasting food lol which is another reason why i always overeat), i just sit around with feelings of self-loathing and guilt.
1. I'm British and emigrated to the USA in 2002.
2. I have half my left lung missing after an operation to remove a growth when I was 3 months old and my heart is on opposite side of my chest compared to 99.999999% of the human race.
3. I left a girl at the alter.
4. If I had to choose between my dog and my wife, I would choose my dog.
5. I was expelled from school at 16 for fighting, ten year later (after incident #3) I sold my house, car and practically everything I owned to go to university, I graduated top of my class despite working fulltime on 3rd shift to pay for me to live (in a sh*thole no-less), then I sold everything I owned and moved to the US.
omg, you have dextrocardia???
omg, you have dextrocardia???
Yes I do.
wow. crazy. i've read about it, seen xrays and echos, but never "met" anyone with it. :o
Yeah, I figured it excites people in the medical field as I always get treated like a celebrity (well not quite but you know what I mean) when I have to go to a new doctor or have visited a hospital for some unrelated issue.
I'm really lucky though as I believe, you probably know more about it than me, but it can be quite a bit pain in the ass, or chest so to speak. Fortunately I have not a single issue with the condition my whole life.
1. I almost drowned in the ocean when I was 7 on a playdate w/ a friend whose parents weren't watching us and a cool surfer dude saved me on his board.
2. I love dancehall & reggae music & have met all of the Marley brothers!
3. Damian and Bob are my favorite Marleys.
4. I think the cell phone law is stupid-- what freedoms will be eliminated next--> no drinking/eating/holding a pen/etc.... while driving?!
5. I love kung fu movies
Wow, what a great/crazy thread! Great idea KMK
ok, so here goes...
1. I almost had my daughter in my car. I lived an hour away from the hospital and I had her in 1h15 mins. By the time we left the house and got there, it was like 10 mins and she was out....and we almost ran out of gas on the way there (all gas stations were closed, i lived in the middle of no where.) I think the car was running on fumes the last 10 minutes. Made for a funny story after though.
2. I'm also a certified scuba diver (open water), but only did a few dives in the East coast of Canada (where I lived). someday maby I'll get around to do it somewhere tropical...
3. I've never shared this with anyone...I have a secret fear that people hate me. I know not everyone is gonna like me, no one likes EVERYONE. But for some reason (and it's not poor self esteem, because I have good self esteem other than that), I always think people dont like me. Even when I come on this site, I always fear that people are annoyed with me and dont like me... I probably need therapy :-[
4. Since alot of you shared really deep stuff, I'm gonna go for it. (Taking a deep breath as I'm typing) I was molested by my step-dad growing up. Started when I was 8 until I was about 16 years old. Not something I like to share at all, makes me feel ashamed. But I'm trying to remember it wasent my fault. Worst part is, I told my mom when I was 12, and she didnt beleive me, then blamed me and then got really bitchy with me from that point on. We never spoke about it again until I was 18 and she said she didnt even remember me telling her that. EVER. By the look in her face when I mentioned it, she truly didnt remember. Needless to say, we had some mother-daughter issues caused by this, but we worked through it. She appologized to me couple years ago for not remembering and doing nothing in the first place. Probably where my #3 comes from. dunno.
5. On a much lighter note, I went to art school for a year after high school (during college). Drawing live nude models, sculpting, painting, drawing in general... I loved it. It was one of the best years of my life. had to quit after a year for reasons that take too long to type, and am still bitter about that. I actually have not painted since then...like Im scared, but dont know why. I should just pick up a brush and some paint and see where it takes me. :-\

Estefania...I just want to say that you are really brave in posting about the pain you faced as a young child and I'm glad you realise that the abuse wasn't your fault. You have no reason to be ashamed! The person who should be ashamed (and repeatedly anal raped with a broomstick) is the sick pervert who took advantage of you. You're also a much bigger person than I am for had I been in your situation and my mom acted like that I would've never spoken or had anything to do with her again. Keep your head held high!
Thanks mirrya. :)
