Things You Don't Know About Me!

[PuzzleChick]

I am also on birth control pills. Without them I used to black out and faint on my face because of blood loss/low blood sugar. Including several times in public. It was embarrassing. OTL

I once sold a book to a wanted murderer who was on the run, and today was served a subpoena to do a deposition for his trial. ;

[bespecledcow]

When I was little I stuck a staple through my tongue out of curiosity.

When I was in the fifth grade I was Storm from the X-Men for Halloween. Since I had glasses at the time (tinted ones that looked like sunglasses most of the time) and I sprayed dye in my hair to make it white. With the glasses, everyone thought I was an old woman, despite the fact I was wearing black clothing and a cape.

I graduate High School on June Ninth.

In approximitely six hours and fourteen minutes, I will officially turn 20. I don't know how to feel about that.

[dearheart]

Hey, I'm 20, and I didn't feel a BIT different when I woke up on my b-day. Which, oddly enough, was slightly disappointing. xD (HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!)

Um...hmm...I am absolutely TERRIFIED of wasps and syringes. It's my one phobia. I burst into tears every time I get a shot or blood test, and I get all twitchy and panic-y if I so much as see a picture of a wasp (whether it's real life or cartoon). I can't even read or think about them without getting slightly freaked out.

Spiders, on the other hand...spiders are awesome. Because they can't fly and chase you and STING YOU JUST FOR FUN, like certain other evil creatures can. I think jumping spiders especially have the cutest faces; they're so tiny and fuzzy and googly-eyed and CUTE. <3

...Yeah, I bet I'm going to get some weird looks for that. xD

[taranova]

Oh my God! I hate wasps too. XD I'm a wimp around them. Today I was at my friend's grad party and there were all these wasps outside, it was awful. I think the fear stems from the time I laid down in bed to go to sleep and a wasp was hiding in the covers. >.< Needless to say I got stung pretty bad.

Ironically though, I love needles. XD I have no qualms with people sticking needles in me.

[Rainbow-Lord Crowmunculus]

some of you all might already know some of these...I'm having trouble coming up with stuff I haven't already babbled about ^^;;;


-I've been in two major earthquakes: Northridge in 1994 at 6.7, and Nisqually in 2001 at 6.8

-I played the trumpet for two years. I was pretty good at it, too.

-I had eye surgery in second grade to correct a lazy eye - it still rolls around sometimes when I'm not wearing my glasses, though XD

-I took French classes for seven years and I don't remember shit. Granted, it was a one-hour class, and I only had it twice a week, and I switched schools before we could get into the difficult stuff. But still.

-I was SUPER SHORT as a kid; I didn't hit five feet until about high school. I'm five five now. For comparison, nine years ago in fifth grade I was four four and weighed fifty pounds.

-I WAS a certified pool lifeguard - I took the class and passed the certification test in 2007, but I never did anything with it.

-Bad things happen to my schools. (Most recently we had lost a school day due to TSUNAMI.) In my schooling career, there were: four bomb threats, two times the building caught fire, one major earthquake (Nisqually), three break-ins, one instance of flood damage, countless power outages, one time a rapist-murderer was on the run in the general area and we had school anyway under lockdown mode, one metal shop explosion (last year we had metal shop), one school CLOSURE (closed FOREVER), and one escaped python.

No joke on that last one. My first year of school, my mom goes into the school office to sign me up and there's a flyer on the door that says "WARNING: ESCAPED PYTHON ON THE GROUNDS." The python was a teacher's pet and they found him a few months in trapped in an easel, skinnier but otherwise no worse for wear. His name was Monty.

-I spent my formative years running wild in the woods...during the heydey of the Green River Killer, in the same area where he committed most of his murders. Looking back on it, I wonder if he was the rapist-murderer on school grounds that one time? It was around the same time he was caught...

[neoeevee]

-In my fifteen and a half years of life, I've lived in three states; Colorado, until I was three; Georgia, until I was six; and Missouri, where I've lived ever since.

-Digimon Adventure was my first anime, and I can still tell you which episode I first watched; the one immediately after Devimon's defeat, when the kids and their Digimon friends from File Island build a raft to get to the continent of Server.

-I have a fascination with Actor and Voice Actor Trivia. I enjoy researching the other roles of the people behind my favorite characters and having my mind blown out the back of my head as a result (hi, Kirk Thorton), and then making jokes about it (hi, Keyblade Wielder Winry). I've also learned to identify a number of voice actors by sound alone.

-I'm pretty sure my inner writer (or muse. Kinda) is a sociopath, or just really, really sadistic; I say inner writer because I have never had any desire to inflict pain on another person, but I often put characters through a lot of grief in my writing (even the stuff that's... not actually written yet). Usually in fanfiction (the things I've done to poor Roxas...).

-I obsessively organize and categorize things. It goes down to the mental process of writing; to me, muses are the voices of the characters I'm writing, and my inner writer is the bit of me that writes... unconsciously, I guess you could call her. I call her Neo; or Mini-Me. Usually, she just throws ideas at me and expects me to be able to write as fast them as fast as she can come up with them. Most of my muses hate her, because, like I said, she likes to torment them for no real reason, and writes a lot of cracky, out of character moments for all of them.

-I like to talk to myself like I'm being interviewed when I think no one can hear me. I usually talk about, again, my writing, because it helps me sort out my thoughts.

I do this too!! All the time.

- Despite the fact that I was cracking bad jokes about it all Friday and yesterday, I was also legitimately anxious that the world was really going to end. ^^;;;

- For an assignment in parenting class once, when we had to create a fake baby book for our fake baby, I wrote in mine that me and my girlfriend kidnapped Dan Green and convinced him to be the father of our child. I got full marks on that assignment, making me wonder if the teacher even bothered to read it.

- I'm irrationally afraid of calling people. I get nervous about answering phones, too, but I have actual panic attacks over calling people/places.

Me as well.

- I have a miniature frog named Mello. I had two more named Matt and Near but they died.

[taranova]

I have four siblings and none of us have the same daddy.

[bespecledcow]

I have a sizable dent on the back of my head.

[Animosity]

- I tried eating a dandelion when I was in preschool. It tasted awful, to say the least. I was in the bathroom washing my tongue off with soap for half an hour.

- When I was a little kid I wanted to be an wild animal, and I thought that all humans were teh evilz. Kind of like those dumbass wolfaboos (except I had an excuse because I was only FIVE YEARS OLD).

- I got a fishhook stuck in my foot when I was eight. The entire time I was crying and screaming, "THE POOR FISHES!!! I DON'T WANNA GO FISHING NOW!"

[PuzzleChick]

- I've been to Jamaica twice and the Bahamas three times (twice driving there by boat).

- I've painted my toenails the same color of purple since 2007.

- I used to do gymnastics as a kid. I went for a few years until one night when we were making a pyramid and I was on the top and fell off and sprained my arm. I had no interest in going back after that.

NO WAY. XD I do, too. How'd yours happen? Have you always had it or did something happen? I fell off the basement steps when I was three. Hair hasn't looked quite right from the back ever since.

[bespecledcow]

I hit my head on my metal bunk bed when I was seven. My hair is really thick so you don't notice it, but if you press down a little and look closely you can see the dip. And it still sorta weirds me out to feel it there sometimes. XD
