get a life -- 10 facts (page 3)

dins

Great idea Joel bear. I never knew who you were really, although I enjoy your humour..My life..

1. I am the second of four children ranging from two to 14 years apart. Born and raised in NJ.
2. My parents were hippies in the 60s (they took me and my sister to Woodstock, I was only a year so don't remember though!!)
3. They found THE TRUTH when I was around 3 or so and that's when things got weird..no VW camper anymore or beards (certainly no smoke!)
4. I couldn't wait to grow up. Did well in school and wanted to be an actress. Couldn't wait to get out of NJ and lose virginity.
5. Left home at 18 and went to college in Florida. Worked for a time as a flight attendant but didn't like it one bit. Decided to be court stenographer instead.
6. Met Englishman in Royal Navy in Florida in '91 when his ship was docked in the harbour. Very sexy uniform and accent. Couldn't help it.
7. Got pregnant by said Englishman (oops!!) and decided had nothing to lose by moving to the UK.
8. Got married in the UK, son born named Luke, went back to work as stenographer; also Weight Watchers Leader and physical trainer.
9. Last year grew restless with life and marriage, and at the age of 30, decided I had enough, pulled up stakes and came home to the US.
10. Separated now and VERY happy with son in the US. Think I am only beginning to find out who I am. Dating lots and having fun.

Life can be good....just have to try to make it that way.

My parents are still JWs and the Woodstock pictures are sadly missing from the photo album.

Cheers.

Aren't you at work? maybe I should start a new office trend...

You all have very interesting lives, hope to hear more.

P.S. - My favorite musical instrument is the violin, although I can't play it. Have any of you seen the movie Red Violin?

P.S. - DCs Ghost - I also am intrigued by the supernatural. Did tarot card readings for a while, but after a while I realized I don't want to know my future (power of suggestion or otherwise,) I prefer to map my future myself.

P.S. - You Know - Oh yeah, you sound like a real good Christian! Stealing cars huh?

Jon Happy Anniversary!
Joel, great thread.

3. I am the typical middle child, always the peacemaker.
4. One older sister, one younger brother. Don't talk to the younger brother, (manic) but older sister (1 year) and I are best friends.
5. I am the world's greatest friend; always try to be there and help where I can.
6. Wish I had more time/money to assist with charitable causes.

1. I love scary movies. The problem is, I watch them and then freak myself out at night so when it's bedtime, I first dwell on how scared I am, then I hurry and turn off the light, run across my room, and jump onto my bed before the boogeyman catches me. Sad, but true.

2. I love music. Led Zeppelin, Sarah McLachlan, The Cure, Beastie Boys, Jimi Hendrix, are some of my all time favorites. I could go on but I don't want anyone to die of boredom.

3. I collect frogs. Not real ones.

4. I am an interior design freak.

5. I love George Carlin and Chris Rock. CB4 is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in my entire life.

6. I hate Blue Jays. There is a family of them in the tree outside of my bedroom window and I would like to shoot them because they are so damn loud.

7. I'm married. My husband is a laugh riot. He makes me just about pee my pants sometimes because I'm laughing so hard. We have no children, nor will we ever. That is a good thing.

8. I love my family and friends more than anything. I'm fortunate to know real love.

9. I'm fascinated by gemstones and astronomy.

10. I don't brush my teeth in the shower.
