Random facts about yourself.

[moosmom]

Wow, this is a great thread.

Okay, let's see now...

I get bored easily
I adore the many friends I have made here on PT
I love to help other people, albeit elderly, little kids, anyone who looks like they can use my help.
I enjoy talking to the customers at work (aside from that last a-hole a few nights ago)
I love watching tv (part of being bored)
I suffer from manic depression. I hate that I have absolutely no control over it (chemical imbalance in the brain)
I have short term memory loss (must've been all those years of my youth, if you know what I mean). It's gotten worse these days and is VERY frustrating (like looking all over the place for your cellphone while you're actually talking on it...DUH!
I adore my cats. They are my lifeline.
When I'm depressed (which is alot lately, it seems), I love going to church for the peace and serenity, and to get things off my chest.
I love playing Scrabble (keeps my mind or what little mind I have left active)
I love crew meets (my brother is a crew (rowing) coach
I love Pet Talk. It's saved my life.
I love sailing.
I adore my brother and wish he lived closed (he's out in North Carolina)
I love writing.
I'm afraid of snakes
I'm afraid of drowning
I'm scared of dying
I speak my mind and tell it like it is
I love driving to Bolton Lake and sitting there for hours, either reading, or listening to my iPod. It's been my favorite place since I was a child.
I love taking the train to NYC and walking around.
I'm disorganized.
I'm a slob (hey, I live alone, okay???)
I love to cook
I hate it when I'm feeling sad (that's my depression again) and someone idiot will say, "Oh, come on, get over it. Pull yourself up and move on). If ONLY it were that easy. Or they ask me what's bothering me. I don't KNOW what's bothering me, and that's why I'm on medication.
Stupid people piss me off.
I am impatient.
I'm very greatful that God saw something in me to make me want to live.

Some more I thought of after reading some of other people's...

-PICKY PICKY eater

[CountryWolf07]

- Famous country artists I have met: Kenny Chesney, Montgomery Gentry, Phil Vassar, Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Trent Willmon, Chris Cagle (4x), Big & Rich, Lonestar (4x), Trick Pony, Aaron Lines, Billy Currington, Jamie O'Neal, one of the guys from Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jimmy Wayne (2x), LoCash Cowboys (2x), Jamey Johnson, and Rhett Akins.

- States I have been to: Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona.

- My favorite number is 7.

- My #1 dream in life has been accomplished, and that is seeing Garth Brooks in concert in Kansas City, Missouri on Nov. 6, 2007.

- Countries I would love to visit/explore: Ireland, Italy, Australia, France, and Scotland.

- I LOVE coffee. I always have to have a cup every day. I can't stand regular, but I like it flavored, such as hazelnut or mocha.

- I strongly dislike: mushrooms, onions, and cabbage. I can't stand the smell of these food or even the sight of them as they are cooked.

- Mike and I met 3 months after we saw each other as we walked past each other on the Oval on campus at Ohio State. He smiled at me and I smiled back at him; just being friendly and did not think of anything out of it. He found out I was friends with his friend's girlfriend who I grew up with since 4th grade. Ever since, we both are happy and I am so blessed and lucky to have someone like him in my life at this time, and hopefully later in life too as well. We have been together for a year and almost a month. Let's just say, I have a gut feeling.

[cali]

oh after reading these I thought of a few more lol:

-I wear virtually no makeup, only Diluted foundation and only to cover the redness from my Rosacea.
-cats love me, I clearly remeber several times walking to school with random cats purring and rubbing themselves against my legs, there is even 2 that despite all my dogs, hang out in my front yard. when I met my moms boyfrineds cat I was told that chances are I would not see him because he is really shy, my mom was going over there for months before the cat would come out of hiding. I walked in the door and the cat ran right up to me purring lol.
-I HATE to buy things for myself, but I LOVE to shop for my pets and for other people. the question I hate the most is "what do you want for x-mas/your birthday?" because there is nothing "I" want, other then stuff for others, which apperntly isnt an acceptable answer.
-I dont submit to peer pressure, I dont drink or smoke, and never have. that doesnt mean nobody has tried to make me, my own parents have been trying to get me to drink for years, but the most I am willing to drink is a breezer. I have been pressured to chain smoke at school events, but I always passed.
-I am a crazy picky eater, I love a lot of things, but ONLY if they are made a certain way. for example, I love pie...so long as its pumpkin. I love Pizza..so long as there is no veggies at all, and the crust has to be thick, stuffed crust is gross, the sauce cannot contain onions, Cheese must be either Mozza, or Chedder, or marble etc... I love Burgers, so long as they contain no pickles, onions, or any type of sauce, and they MUST have cheese. I dont eat any seafood at all, I love the smell, but I hate the taste lol.
-I cant throw up. not naturally, I can only thow up if I induce it. do you know how annoying that is? its doesnt seem like something you would miss, until you cant do it.

[Alysser]

-I hate liver,mushrooms,olives,raw onions,and avacodos.

-I've had acne problems most of my life and I'm now in my forties and I still have problems. I've been to many doctors and tried almost everything and nothing works for me.
-I have extemely oily skin and I hate it.
-I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was in middle school but it wasn't bad enough for anything to be done. Now I'm having a lot of back problems and it's probably due to this. One of my shoulder blades also sticks out too much.
-I'm the oldest and the only girl in my family.
-I'm the only one who never married and who doesn't have children in my family and this also includes my cousins too.
-I feel like the black sheep of the family.
