Little Known Facts

I forgot to mention that I once swallowed half of a hot dog. I better not get any perverted comments for that. ;D

[iratherlikeme]

Then why'd you take me on as a client? ;D

Temporary insanity. ;D

I guess tall people are all right. But if they call me short, it's gonna be me and them.

Me? I would never call you short! ;D

[iratherlikeme]

Me? I would never call you short! ;D

And this would be why we get along so well. ;D

WOW!! You guys really have some great stories to tell, I'm sure!! Movie material, for real! In no way do my lil' '2 cents' compare to what I've read, but I'll share anyway:

- My b-day is Dec. 24 and I'm also left handed (is that why I love Christian Payton??). I totally despise the Christmas baby comments.

- I'm quite shy now, but when I was younger I used to talk so much, that when I was in the 1st grade my teacher put me in the corner for talking, and I just continued the conversation with myself! At least thats what I was told!

I havent broken any bones, but when I was 5 I did bust my chin open when I slipped on a wet bathroom floor, and I've also had a window to slam down on my fingers, which resulted in my middle nail growing crooked.temptsinfo.com/smilies/wtg.gif

Although considered somewhat smart , I was very lazy when it came to studying and never applied myself like I could've. In school, I always did enough to get by and quite frankly, I'm still paying for it! But don't worry, God is still working on me!

This is like my life story. I used to sit for hours and try to figure out how much work I could not do and still have decent grades by the time school ended. I've never liked school and school ain't never been fond of me, either.

My mother told me Friday that I never take anything seriously. I just don't worry about things; I let stuff slide off my back. I think I'm the, 'if it's supposed to happen, it'll happen' type. She doesn't like that.

Damany, we get along real nice, too.

This is cute!

I didn't learn to tie my shoe until I was 10 or 11.

When I was a child, no one taught me how to ride a bike, and as an adult, I still don't know how to ride a bike.

I don't know how to swim.

I just learned how to drive a car last year by taking driving lessons and received my driver's license last October.

I never went to kindergarten or first grade. My mom enrolled me into school when I was about 7, and the principal thought I was smart enough to be place din my right grade, which was second grade, when I entered school.

I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was 23 years old.

I was "in love" with Boy George as a child of the 80s. I wanted to marry him and have his kids!

I didn't learn to tie my shoe until I was 10 or 11.

I taught my brother how when he was 12. I think I was 8 or 9. He used to just tuck the strings into the shoes.

I was severely bowl-legged as a child. My mother tells me that the doctor (doctors?) considered breaking my legs so that they would straighten out, but I gew out of it and now I'm just pigeon-toed (in one foot :laughing:).

[kanabul]

I was born prematurely, weighing in at a massive two pounds.

Too add to that, I came into this world with a twin brother. Unfortunately, he passed shortly after birth.

I am ambidextrous.

I am allergic to Alka-Seltzer. My body totally rejects it.

I do not drink soda, nor do I eat fast food.

(My refusal to eat fast food is partly due to the reading of Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.)

I discovered last week that one of my calves is bigger than the other. I attribute that to the way I jump. That better be the reason, anyway. I told my brother that I was never wearing shorts again.

Let's see...

1.When I was 4 yrs and 7 months old, I had to have surgery on my right eye. I suffered from Periorbital Hematoma Secondary to Sinusitis. It's extremely rare in adults, but I was the youngest case of this to date in 1987. Don't remember much, but they tell me that the kids used to teased me @ school and made me cry. There was a huge blood clot that was causing my eye to bulge out. I can believe that b/c I had a friend in H.S. that teased me so bad, I almost cried. I remember the first shot, I got at Children's. They had to strap me down to this Superman gurney b/c I wouldn't stay still. I would only let my mom give me shots. I was in the hospital for 8 days, and in that time, I met a friend named Lesley who had cancer (she's since passed away). I also met Miss America. I've worn glasses ever since. I also have a scar from the stitches but over the last 16 years, it's pretty faded.

2.I used to be pretty accident prone. I've fallen face first onto pavement trying to hang upside down on the monkey bars. Which made no sense b/c I had been doing it for a while. I screwed up a whole side of my face. THANK GOD there's no evidence of that anymore!I've had a 5 lb weight to fall on my head. I've had my foot runover.

3.When I was first born, I was really REALLY light...you could see through my skin...I also had freckles...when my family brought me home, they asked my cuz what she thought of me, and she ran out of the room.

4.My middle name is Caprice. My parents let one of my cousins name me. Everyone thought she named me after the car, but she named me for the drink.

5.I am a very shy person (not as bad now) and I am used to being embarassed. When I was 17, I was part of a quiz team @ my school. The morning of the big competition, I had to go to the eye doctor (same man who operated on me) and have a foreign object removed...don't ask...I don't know. Anyways, he didn't want me irritating my eye, so he gave me a patch. I didn't want to wear it, but I figured the pirate patch wouldn't be too bad. But no, this man puts some GAUZE and this bulky white tape over my eye!!! And I, team captain, have to sit in front of a room full of people watching me!! Needless to say, I could barely communicate w/my teammates trying to look at them both out of one eye. I go to school on Monday, and there are TWO pictures of me in the paper!!! That night, I went to the NBA All-Star Rookie Game, and they made me wear it on the train...as expected,some idiot didn't know how to act in public and started laughing at me. So I took it off after that.

That ain't no kind of friend.

Did she run because she could see through your skin?

[Lynnie]

LOL, yeah, I don't talk to him anymore


Now, she tells me that she thought I was ugly. I say she was jealous cuz she wasn't the baby anymore
