Tell us something about you!

[Anita Cholaine]

- I always feel like my hair and nails grow way too fast.
- I tend to say lots of things I shouldn't say, and regret later.
- I'm terribly scared of spiders. When I was little, I woke up one morning, and there was a spider on my pillow! After that day, I cannot even see them.
- I love ants! I think they are the cutest little insects, and I could spend hours looking at them while the are working
- I wear glasses. You've never seen them with them on pics cause I wear contact lenses most of the time.
- I always have the same nightmare: my house's door is opened and Anita runs away... That is one of my biggest fears, actually.
- I'm known for having really good marks at school, but don't study too much at all (I always study the night before tests)
- I LOVE travelling.
- I love the smell of burned matches and candles.
- I love photography, and I'm hoping to go to photography classes soon.

I'll add more things as I think of them...

[Toby's my baby]

Wow, interesting thread, I love reading about people.

Some things about me...

-I'm also a little afraid of the dark, mostly because you used to be able to hear mountain lions "roaring" after dark, I always hold one of the dogs if I forget to do something and have to go outside.

- I have two birthmarks, my own, and my twin sisters.

- I have had 5 or 6 surgeries *can't remember* many many x-rays, 2 mri's, and 3 ekgs (i think that is what they are called)

- Even though I have had plenty of surgeries and problems, I think I've taken a total of ONE perscription pain pill that the doctor gave me. I try my best to stay away from "un-natural medications."

-When playing a sport or doing something by myself in front of people, I always feel pressured to be good/the best, and freak out sometimes *example: like passing the ball at a dumb time, stopping dead in my tracks for no apparent reason*

- I had an anxiety attack during a basketball game...very scary

- I walked on a shattered ankle for over a year before the stupid doctors could figure out what was wrong..

- I am obsessed with smelling candles in the store, but I have none in my room

- I love little kids, especially kids with physical/mental problems, but older people with mental problems scare me

- My dad told me the whole time I was growing up I was adopted...though I'm really not

-I rarely eat breakfast except for those few days that I have to get up before 7

-I have recently became obsessed with water, I always have a water with me and some in the fridge.

[.sarah]

- I'm a vegetarian.
- I am allergic to perfumes, candles, deodorants, etc. and get migraines when I smell them. I have to hold my breath around those aisles in the stores.
- I let people walk all over me for most things, but when it comes to animals (and a few other things), I stand up for what I believe in.
- I eat breakfast almost every morning. I am starving when I wake up!
- I eat a lot of small meals throughout the day. I went on a diet a few years ago and ever since I haven't been able to gorge like I used to (probably a good thing).
- I love to bake and cook, and will be majoring in culinary in college.
- I love photography.
- I am an optimist in every sense of the word. I almost always focus on the good in everything.
- I have very few friends because I believe in quality not quantity.

[Alysser]

Very cool thread, and I love reading it. I got plenty so here we go.

-I have a heart condition, and I have to go to the hospital once a year to get a check-up, but alot of my friends don't know because I HATE talking about it and then they'll probably give me a pity party(WHICH I CAN'T STAND). I had Open Heart Surgery and I'm going to the hospital this month...

-I don't want to get married, and don't want to have kids, but I would like to adopt a child.

-I have had twenty-six stitches thanks to my Open Heart Surgery.

-I am very afraid of the dark and when I'm up very high and I look down I get all nervous and I bug the person I am with to go down.

-I am 25% Irish but I don't look it at all. People say I have the map of Italy on my face.

-I was born in Staten Island.

-I sleep under my comforter every night, even in the summer. I don't know why, but it makes me feel safer.

-I hate my room color and my mom just changed it last year.

-I want to work with big cats when I grow up.

-I LOVE roller coasters.

- I love the smell of gasoline lol.

[carole]

I am also afraid of the dark.

I sleep at nights with a fan going summer and winter, to drown out other noises so i actually can get some sleep, have a sleep disorder so don't sleep too well most nights.

I have a fear of heights, and am social phobic, I have fibromyalgia.

I love to play practical jokes, harmless ones and sure don't mind them being played back on me.

I love entering competitions but only online or by radio, no face to face ones, and i am pretty darn lucky and have had some awesome wins.

I love to sing and dance but usually only in the privacy of my own home, too shy otherwise.

Cannot think of much else really.

[dogzr#1]

- I am the youngest child, with three older brothers

- I have Emetophobia, or the fear of vomiting

- I eat MANY times a day and am always hungry.

- I am taller than my mom

- I get annoyed easily, well kind of.

- I am obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean (lol)

- I have a slight stigmatism.

- I have never bitten my nails.

- I can't skip a meal, or go too long without food. ( my brothers tease me saying I have worms because I eat constantly, but don't gain much weight)

- I don't really like dresses, or dressiness. ( if that's a word )

- I can't swallow pills


I have to think for some more

[Alysser]

- I am obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean (lol)

LOL, I knew that. I saw your avatar, and was like I've seen that before then a second later I was like "OMG, that's Jacks eye."

[slick]

I was born in the area I currently reside in and was 9 lbs. 5 oz. (ouch!)

I have no fears or fobias.

I'm not allergic to anything.

I never wear makeup and I don't colour my hair.

I'd rather receive a warm hug from a best friend than an expensive gift from an acquaintance. I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve...which is not always a good thing.

Material possessions mean nothing to me.

I hate shopping.....food, clothes, or otherwise.

I only own 4 pairs of shoes and 5 work outfits. The rest of my clothes are T's and shorts. I have absolutely nothing to wear to a fancy restaurant, in fact I hate dressing up altogether.

I also don't do jewellery and anything else that's "girly" or "poofty".

I am extremely shy and very uncomfortable in big crowds. You will often find me in another room, on the front porch, or cleaning the kitchen just to avoid all the people.

I do, however, enjoy being with a small group of 5 or less.

I am very hard to get to know. You will have to chip away at the thick wall for a long time before I will let you in, but once you've become my friend, you will have my friendship and loyalty forever. I guess you could classify me as a feral.....very hard to trust people at first but once comfortable, will be with you forever.

I love music and dance and can't drive without listening to a CD or the radio, but as much as I love music, I detest loud booming stereos.

When I was a kid, I took ballet for 9 years..quit when I was 14. I even started to do the tippy-toe thing in a tutu.

I was in all the plays in high school. If I could do it all over again, I would pursue an acting career.

I have been single since 1994 and plan to remain single and dateless. Men are too much trouble in my opinion. **ducks to avoid getting hit**

I've always had the opinion that marriage and children do not make a women "whole" and I've avoided both for many reasons.

...and now as I embark on a new journey, I finally know the meaning of "live like you are dying."

So there it is, in no particular order.

[zoey]

I live on a lake.
I don't own a boat, but some of my friends do.
I lived in California for 2 years.
I'm a bit of a neat-nick.
I love tamales, though i know they're bad for you.
I've only had one boyfriend. It was a long term thing.
I dislike windchimes very much.
I've been run over by a car, literally, (longways).
I have a secret desire to be a surfer.
Sometimes I put my foot in my mouth.
I love to dance.
I love to read, but sometimes I'm too hyper to sit down with a book.
One of my favorite things to do is stare up at the stars and moon at night, talking with a special person.
I love to rollerblade, but my skates got stolen and I haven't replaced them yet.
I am a part-time crisis counselor.
I love animals, but you may have that figured by now.

[Kfamr]

- I have a thing for over-sanitizing/cleaning at work. (I work with food)
- I have a dog collar/bandana obsession.
- I shower atleast twice daily, a lot of days I shower three times.
- I wash my hands before and after using the restroom, and get made fun of for it.
- I HATE talking on the phone and will do anything to avoid it.
- I go from listening to Kelly Clarkson to Tupac to Fear Before The March of Flames within minutes.
- I am addicted to hardcore shows, although I don't always know the person playing, I still go if I can.
- My camera is almost always with me, I carry one in my purse even if I have another in a camera case.

[lv4dogs]

I am VERY afraid of spiders & heights. (my only 2 phobias)

I used to DESPISE cats. (REALLY despise them, now I have 3)

I do not HATE anyone, it is too strong of a word. (I do dislike a few though)

I am not allergic to anything. (anymore, knock on wood)

I get social anxiety, sometimes so bad that I don't even want to talk to anyone on the phone or internet let alone in person, even with friends & family. Yet at the same time I *usually* do better in large crowds than smaller ones.

I weighed only 1.3 lbs at birth and was born 2 (I think) months early. I was in an & out of an incubator until I was 6 months of age.

I bite the skin around my nails but not my nails.

I do not like to talk on the phone.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE kids but can not deal with them on a daily basis.

I am always willing to help others yet rarely help myself.

[Lizzie]

I've found this a very interesting thread to read even though, I must admit, I didn't think it would be. So, my turn:

I love total silence, even need silence for periods of time.

I'm a reader. If I don't have a book to read, then I'll read cereal packets, condiment bottles, phone book, whatever.

I used to love taking the family dog for a walk in my teens and twenties in total countryside darkness, as long as there was a moon of course.

I've overcome my fear of heights, modified my fear of rodents, but I'm still very claustrophobic. I get anxious if I'm confined by circumstances, I find even that claustrophobic.

I love boats and sailing but can't swim since I'm terrified of being in water; I just stop breathing and black out.

I love food. I don't eat much, I don't gorge myself, I just love the taste of all kinds of food. I'm inclined to say "Hmmmmmm" out loud, eyes closed, when I'm tasting something good, even in public.

I've been vegetarian for nearly 20 years and eat only tiny amounts of dairy.

I'm a creature of total constrasts. I'm capable of sacrificing comforts and even essentials to do something I've decided needs doing. And I'm capable of very hard physical work. I'm also a hedonist who loves luxury and laziness, revels in just lying on a sofa for hours with the late afternoon sun shining across me, surrounded by cats and with a mug of tea and some good chocolate. I always, but always, take time out to smell the roses, and the sweet peas, and the honeysuckle, and the mock orange, etc. etc.

I am far more likely to be patient with animals who are sick or needy than I am with people.

I have a passion for earrings though all other kinds of jewellery annoy me. I even decided not to have a wedding ring.
