A friend and I were talking about this, and actually it became a really interesting discussion. It can be secretive admissions or bragging, whatever works. lol Care to add?

for me:

1. I'm deathly afraid of seaweed, even though I'm an exceptionally strong swimmer and lettered twice in swimming and twice in diving on the swim team in high school, and swimming in lakes or oceans is fine with me. Just don't get me near any water plants.

2. I have a weird memory that allows me to remember number patterns, voices and obscure words-- but I can't for the life of me remember peoples' names til they've told me 3 or 4 times. Or til I've seen it written down.

3. I used to steal pink flamingos out of peoples' yards. The story of how I got started with this is really funny and involves an olympic equestrian coach, ahahaa. The best part is that I later discovered a friend of mine used to do the same thing!!!

4. I love kids and they seem to love me, but I'm absolutely terrified of babies. Yeesh.

5. I used to play the violin, but for various reasons I never learned to read music, so I only played by ear. It was passable but by no means great.

6. When first starting to date someone, I tend to not talk about myself very much except for somewhat superficial shit. Instead I tend to ask a lot of questions about the other person, partially to gather information without revealing my own cards and partially to see how long it will take the other person to stop talking about themself and ask questions about me. I never realized that I did this until a boyfriend pointed it out to me. Huh.

Sue me, that's 6 things. haha. Oh, and I used to also really, really want to be an Indy/Forumula 1 race car driver, a desire thoroughly egged on by my race car driver dad. Yes, really.

i always have to ask the questions too hmm strange! ok here is mine:

1) Im afraid of MUSHY PEAS (my mum tried to force me to eat them when i was a kid and i threw up everywhere.....now i cant stand any pea that is bigger than a petit pois!

2) Me and my best friend when we were 10 used to be obsessed with New Kids On the Block so much so instead of plying with Barbies we made up a fantasy world where we were married to joe and Jordan ha ha ha

3) I still watch my repeats of Beverly Hills 90210 in secret of course!

4) My dad's family were part of the Qajar dynasty (although dont know if im allowed to admit that for fear of my own life lol

5) Clowns are scary and i dont like horror movies

this is fun.

1. I don't like normal size utensils because I feel like they are invading my mouth. I prefer salad size forks and teaspoons.

2. I lived on rice, sweet corn and soysauce for two weeks once because I spent my whole paycheque on a day at a spa.

3. being just as good or better than me at Jeopardy is the first step to making me want to date you.

4. I think socks are creepy and I totally freak out if someones sock touches me while it's on their foot and the first thing I do when I get home is take of my shoes and socks.

5. I am petrified for people to find out how long it's been since I made out with someone. I have good reasons for it being so long but it's still embarrasing.

6. The boy I'm seeing on Sunday will hopefully be involved with making #5 above a non-issue.

Oh boy...these are fun

1. I am extremely allergic to fish (the oils), so much so that the inside of my throat swells shut and I can't breathe (don't get any ideas )

2. Ever since I got the tattoo on my foot I have been on a strike against socks. I like the look of socks, but I hate how they feel.

3. I have a birth mark on my posterior, which in some traditions would have meant I would have automatically been considered royalty at birth. (whatever is on tpunk stays on tpunk right?)

4. I love water, being in water, the feel of water on my skin, the look of water on someone else's skin.

5. I hate commercialized holidays. I hate the fact that people make money off of other people's sappiness, and ingrain consumerism to show affection.

Okay here's my list since everyone is sharin'. :D

1) No one, save for my family knows all my given names. Intials J.D.S.C.T. It's really annoying when a form asks for ALL my names. I hate writting it all out 'cause there is never enough room.

2) I want my first car to be an El Camino. No laughing please, they're really very cool.

3) When I come home from partying, I let the dog outside and sit and have a chat with her. She likes to pretend to listen to my drunken ramblings, or maybe she's just laughing at me...

4) A few years ago, I got rear-ened 4 times in the span of 2 months! I was always the passanger and it was with 3 different drivers. That year I was in a total of 7 accidents and I've never had trouble since. I think karma was trying to do me in or somethin'...

5) I'm thinking about taking up a trade...

1. I also hate seaweed. I don't like anything in the water brushing up against me. yuck.

2. I actually have a major fear of both heights and water. Although I rarely let either get the better of me, it is something that constantly fills my mind when I am presented with both situations.

3. I hate doctors and most practitioners in the medical field. I feel that most of them don't really listen to the patient and only base their actions on a rigid idea of what a medical book says instead of actually thinking about it.

4. I suffer from major depression. Well probably not too major, but it can get pretty bad. I use magnesium to help keep it at bay. That and good thoughts usually keep me un-depressed. Although I often forget to take the magnesium.

5. I am a hella good driver, but a lot of people know that. I love to drive. People know that too. I have always wanted to design my own sports car.

whoo, fun. Everyone has some good ones, let's see:

1) like Sijuki, I'm seriously afraid of heights

2) I ran a marathon a few years back (and survived!)

3) I may look all sweet and innocent but.....well that's all I need to say about that

4) I was born in Germany and have moved a lot

5) I gained 15 pounds last year solely from drinking Mountain Dew Code Red (constantly).....since then I've given up pop entirely and luckily have taken the weight off; backpacking helped immensely with that!!

1. I really really really hate other people's legs and feet touching me. I guess its just such an intimate sort of touch, that if I am not being intimate (like relaxing with friends, in a crush on public transport, accidential touching, etc) it really upsets me.

2. I also cant stand needles. Like at all. It makes me ill to think about it, and last time I had a shot I fainted.

3. When I'm alone, I crank up the volume and dance in my apartment with complete abandon. Naked.

4. I like honey and cinnamon on my ice cream.

5. I know how to milk goats and bucher hogs.

That is what I am talking about. I should get one of those little spy cameras.

aight here we go.

1. I am the fattest extreme sport enthusiiast you will ever meet. 6' 2" 250pds. I teach rock climbing and go mountain biking often. I could look huge like The Rock but I have no self discipline.

2. I want the world to have a zombie problem.

3. I secretly HATE computers along with most electronic gadgets. Even though I am a pro with all of them. I think the world (and myself) would be better off without. (there is my lack of self-discipline again)

4. When I was little everyone thought I was going to be a pastor or missionary. Now I am questioning the very beliefs of what I was taught then.

5. I have a birthmark behind my left knee that even my mother didnt know about till a couple months ago.

6. I'm a better driver than sij. Rally racing would be a dream come true.

not too bad... my parking break doesn't have much of an effect on anything. My car isn't much into slides and stuff. The front end seems far to weak for it. I have thought about putting another sway bar on it to see if it gets a little better handling there but not too worried about it.

Here I go:

1. If I had to choose to go out without clothes or lipstick, definately I would go out naked.

2. Since my cousin died a year ago, every night I'm afraid of dying.

3. Can't spend more than 3 weekends without a hangover.

4. I look my butt in the mirror more than my face.

5. I don't like hairy guys (down there). It scares me and the @#$% seems small.

that's it!
