NEAT THREAD!!

-I like to flip through magazines backwards.
-Very often, I eat dessert before dinner and sometimes order something like chocolate cake or cheesecake at a restaurant before my meal.
-I had really bad ear aches as a child and had to have my tonsils removed when I was 5. I can still hear my pulse throbbing in my ears when I lie down like I did when I was 5. Doesn't hurt anymore though.
-If I'm walking by the tv and Animal Cops is on, I end up stopping whatever I'm doing and get completely lost in the show even if I have something important to do. Every single time. I need to see how it ends!!
-I travelled to West Africa quite a few years ago and had an argument with my boyfriend at the time. I jumped out of the landrover we were in and stomped off down a dusty road. Then I heard rustling in the bushes next to me and something started making deep growling sounds. Ran very fast back to the truck and the boyfriend. Never knew what it was.
-I was adopted.
-I have a weird phobia of getting poked in the eye with a sharp object.
-If I'm eating something and I find anything that is remotely strange, like crunching down on something when the food I'm eating isn't supposed to really be all that crunchy, or if I see anything that looks weird, like a black fleck I can't eat another bite and instantly lose my appetite.

-A few years ago another woman and I rescued a dog from an abusive situation. This little dog got away from us the same afternoon and took off into a huge wooded area and it was pouring rain and getting dark. We searched and searched and I realized it was going to take a miracle to find her. I prayed to God to help us find her and if he would that I would read the Bible every night for the rest of my life. A few minutes later, we found her curled up inside a tree stump. That was 4 years ago and I read each night.

- My sister, brother, and myself are all two years apart. ['85, '87, '89]
- I was born on my sister's fourth birthday.
- I was a lefty up until I was three. My brother slammed my left hand in a door, nearly severing the tip of my pinky right off. The doc's had to sew it back on and I couldn't use that hand for the longest time, resulting in my right handedness.
- My first dog was a present for my fifth birthday. A 10 week old Yellow Lab/Dalmatian named Patches. I've been in love with the Dal breed ever since and that will be the first breed I pursue when able to get another dog.

- Jellyfish scare me if they're not on the other side of the glass.

-I have dozens of story ideas floating around in my head, but find it impossible to voice them, be it spoken or written word.
- The horse I love most in this world is not, in fact, one of my own. This makes me feel incredibly guilty.

I often stop and pick up several carts on my way in and put them away.

But I find that there are no excuses for the rest of them.]

Hey, we are your friends!

And as for the other one, I can cut equally well with left-handed or right-handed scisssors, as Ma was a lefty.

I can write legibly left-handed, though I write slowly that way. I am completely right-handed, but would practice writing left-handed when I was bored in elementary school.

My normal handwriting is based on italic calligraphy

I'll think of more later. =]

[binka_nugget]

- I ALWAYS mapquest if I haven't been there yet. I hate getting lost, but am very prone to it
- I have to crack my back and neck throughout the day or it locks up and gets uncomfortable
- I have my dogs paw prints tattooed onto my forearm and plan on getting their portraits tattooed on my arm, turning it into a full sleeve
- I *HATE* going to the gym. I have no problem with working out while playing a game of soccer, basketball, etc.. I get bored running on a treadmill.
- I bite my nails. I finally saw a nail tech and got sculptured nails to prevent me from biting.
- I've gone through about 5 years of Chinese school. The only thing I know how to write in Chinese is my name.
- I plan on opening a dog daycare/training facility in Squamish, BC in the next few years. After the business is steady, I'd like to expand and open a Vancouver store.
- Kaedyn is the reason I professionally train dogs
- My boyfriend is planning on proposing by the summer
- I've already planned half the wedding in my head
- I'd like to have 3-4 kids (my s/o wants 2-3 )
- I watch very little TV. I NEVER, EVER miss Prison Break though.
- I'm a horrible procrastinator. Keeva was supposed to be my first show dog. She's over a year old and still hasn't been registered yet.
- I play furry-paws.com religiously
- I love photography. I had my boyfriend promise me to build me a darkroom when we buy a house.
- I would love to flip a house one day. I'm constantly looking at potential flips, even though I can't afford to flip yet.

[cassiesmom]

Okay, here goes. No particular order.

-I'm 41, the youngest of three children. I'm 11 years younger than my brother, 14 years younger than my sister.
-My brother has three children and my sister has one daughter. I have three nieces and a nephew, whom I am so proud of!
-Cassie is the first cat I've ever had.
-I was double promoted (skipped second grade) which I would not encourage anyone to do to their kids. I don't think they do it as much today. The cut-off date for kindergarten when I started was Dec. 1 (it's now Sept. 1), so I am a full year younger than everyone else in my class.
-I'm "officially" right-handed, but I eat with my left hand. I sort of function left-handed -- example, in choir I hold the music in my right hand and reach across to turn the pages with my left, which is the opposite of just about everyone I sing with.
-I played the flute from 4th grade through college, didn't touch it for a good 10 years after that, and picked it up again about 10 years ago for church.
-I put 100,000 miles on a car for the first time with my previous car.
-"When in doubt, read the directions" applies to me! I start puttering, and then if I can't figure it out I go to the instructions.
-I won the junior high spelling bee in eighth grade.
-I totally agree with WolfQ on the subject of tomatoes!
-I am terrible with time ... my friends and family joke about "Elyse time" because I am always, always late. This is a trait I would like to be rid of!
-I'm a terrible pack-rat. This is another trait I would like to be rid of!
-I have an irrational fear of traffic jams. I don't like the sensation of being unable to go anywhere.
-I don't smoke, and I probably drink about 4 or 5 alcoholic beverages a year. (A beer at the Cubs game, a glass of champagne on New Year's Eve, a Guinness for Saint Patrick's day, that sort of thing.)
-The farthest I've ever traveled- Russia, with a church work team. I'd go again if the opportunity came up.
-I proposed; he turned me down because we're too much alike. (We're both still single!)
-My second toes extend just slightly past my great toes.
-I saw my spinal cord in thin slices when I hurt my back at work and had an MRI. When the tech found out I'm a nurse, he showed me the MRI of a previous patient because it was so unusual.
-And... If I could make my career selection all over again, I would not choose nursing. I was a hospital volunteer in high school, assigned to the hospital library -- perfect assignment for a chubby, shy introvert! I'd probably head straight for a career in library science if I had it to do again.
