I am kinda worried @triplea598 is going to know who I am IRL because of the ballet thing.

I have had malaria, mumps (2x), chicken pox, scarlet fever, measles and am still alive to talk about it (almost didn't make it through the malaria though, and cannot donate blood because of it)

In HS the water polo coach was going to report that I was being abused due to having so many bruises until I showed him how easily I bruised.

My superior labial frenulum is partially disconnected because of a trampoline accident.

Lol, I just had to look that up on a mouth anatomy chart, and it's funny that it contains the word "labial," but anyway, that's the little piece of skin that connects your upper lip to your gums.

Lol, mine is because I hit a tree sledding.

I have an embarrassing lustful reaction to Marilyn Manson. I find him sexually....something. Idk. Like only when he's singing. It started when I saw his tainted love video. My sister feels the same as I do, so I know I'm not the only one.

I didn't get my drivers license until I was 32. I've only gotten one ticket in the 5 years I've been driving, and it was when I was pregnant with DD. I was lost and panicking a little, so I was speeding. The officer "let me off" with "just" a seat belt ticket, even though I was wearing my seat belt. The irony is that I am obsessive about wearing my seat belt. Like, I put it on before I turn the car on, and I nag DH because he always "forgets" to put his on.

I got into counseling because of my mothers mental health issues.

My mother has a lot of mental health issues and I know I should be in therapy, too. Hugs to you.

To this day, other than Princess Bride, Behind The Attic wall is my favorite book.

STUCK IN BOX

I love that book so much!! ::off to amazon to buy and read again::

jesuisfatiguee · July 2014

Sorry about your box troubles @FalconCrest

I am very nearsighted with -8.5 strength contact lenses; -9 for eyeglasses. Without vision correction, I can precisely pluck my eyebrows without using a magnifying mirror or navigate blurry furniture slightly better than with my eyes closed. Jealous?

I am still pretty new, so there is a lot that Parenting doesn't know about me.
I trained for years as an opera singer, but I also smoked. I am a pretty darn good opera singer, but my nicotine habit ensured that I couldn't really go places with my talent.

I trained as an opera singer, too! I quit because I didn't feel like I had the competitive spirit necessary to "make it".

I wore casts and leg braces for the first 4 years of my life.

Same.

FalconCrest · July 2014

I was a super spazzy kid. I was very impulsive, hyperactive, and was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 5th grade. Looking back, I think my hyperactivity was a lot of nervous energy from growing up in an unstable environment.

When I was a baby I had to wear the corrective shoes with the bar in the middle to straighten out my feet because they were both turned in when i was born.

I feel the same about myself and had the same issues. Recreational drugs helped in HS, and now I have wine

I have a "meeting" with a client at The Yard House (so many beers)! in 45 minutes and forgot about it when I got dressed this AM, and I'm wearing a sleeveless dress showing my fat arms, and no nylons showing my fat pale legs. Not the best impression. Oh well, it's damn hot out.

^ this is more of a random but given that parenting didn't know I have a meeting, nor the fact that I look like a scrub today (haven't used that term in forever) makes it count.

And now I just realized that The Yard House is a chain.

I used to live near the yard house in boston. I miss it.

SpaceGirlSpiff · July 2014

I've had a massive crush since childhood on King Jareth from the movie Labyrinth ....Not David Bowie... just Jareth.

myskyegirl · July 2014

I have a younger 1/2sister (same father) but she hasn't spoken to me since our father died, about 5 yrs now. I have no clue is she knows she has a niece. I tried reaching out to her 2012, but that was my last attempt, I tried a bunch of times before, the ball is in her court now.

jesuisfatiguee · July 2014

Currently in the capitol, but I moved here as an adult. I wonder how many "semi-professional" ballet companies there really are in Texas...

I guess Ballet Austin and Houston are actually professional and not semi-professional... Whatever. There's a lot of companies in Texas though. If yours was in the south it's possible we were in the same one, but I'm not sure.

Oh, it was NOT anywhere near Ballet Austin professional. And the one I was in was more central, I guess.

^5 for en pointe twins, though! I loved it.

jesuisfatiguee · July 2014

Oh, yeah, I know what you mean. The girls in my company were mostly nice, but whenever I went to workshops and such it was a very different story. It could get really ugly, really fast. I wanted to go pro, but home life caused me to stop about 15, which is right in the middle of the crucial years. Oh, well. I am short and curvy even when I'm thin, so I probably wouldn't have gotten far anyway

allonsyalonso · July 2014

I went to Ireland in 8th grade to march in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin.

[Deleted User] · July 2014

I think I've said all of the interesting things about myself in various drinking threads.

I don't like parties or large groups but I love going a little overboard for family things. Once a week I have a story time tea party with my niece. We're reading A Series of Unfortunate Events. We just started The Reptile Room. I bring some of my plants from around the house into my office. Then I dress the room up with snakes and various Victorian touches to mimic the book. We have our tea party there and I read the aloud to her using different voices for each character.

Kids are so much more fun than adults.

When I was little, I had two imaginary friends. One was a little boy named Virgil, and the other was a really mean old lady named Grandma Flasher. My parents have always said they have no clue where I came up with the weirdest imaginary friends in the world.

My parents named one of my brothers after one of my imaginary friends.

Same.

Me too. It's one of the reasons why I work from home.

Wulfgar · July 2014

One of the reasons that I loved going to my one set of grandparents was that I could get some of the classic shows such as the Beverly Hillbillies and Addams Family.

LoveActually4 · July 2014

I had an allergic reaction to my braces in high school and my gums swelled up so badly they covered my teeth. The dentist has to cut off the excess gums because I looked toothless.

That's the nerdiest statement ever.

Barbershop quartet is cool! I'd always wished we'd had a swing chorus or something like barbershop, but NO. Sigh.

Let's have a concert. ;-)

Theres way more y'all don't know about me then what you do know so its kinda hard to pick....

I went to England in the 5th grade with the school on a Spring Break trip. I was way to young to appreaciate the experience.

I was a super fat kid till my jr year in high school. Then I went balls to the wall & dropped about 100lbs & have been at a fairly comfortable weight ever since. Still have lots of left over flab tho & that makes me self conscience.

After losing said weight I got a little slutty & wild. Although I am happily married with almost 4 kids, I kinda miss those care free party girl days.

I never use measurements when cooking (baking is a different subject). I just do a "little bit of this/little bit of that". It usually works out!

Oops sorry, totally missed that "name one" part lol

Last part...+1 Never measure when cooking..... except baking. Which I rarely do anyways.

littlestjerry · July 2014

I played soccer in college and also had a music scholarship in college. That's 2, but oh well, they're both about college.

theimpossibleastronaut · July 2014

I played a lead male role in one of our high school musicals. It wasn't an all girls school, and there were guys in the play, but the teacher just liked me for that role I guess. It was actually kind of cool.

Edited words

minervacullen · July 2014

One more

When I was almost 5 I didn't want to help clean the basement ( my play area), so I hid in a box and fell asleep.

No one could find me. Apparently my mom, who was 6m pregnant with twins, thought my dad must have some how smuggled me out without being noticed by her and her then DH.

Police searched, I was on the news, helicopters searched, the county mounty were in the woods....

I woke up and started crying and my neighbor Mrs. Sweat found me.

I remember hugging my moms huge belly and then her yelling at me. I also remember exactly what I was wearing. I white and blue romper with polka dots. It was the height of fashion in 1985.

One of my ears is significantly higher than the other.

I'm late catching up on this thread, but me too, @nonniedee! I was trying on glasses in 5th grade, and I was like, "Mom, all the glasses in this shop are crooked." She said, "I'm sorry, sweetie, but it's your ears. I noticed when you were a baby."

vandelay · July 2014

My mom's cousin (so my first cousin once removed I think) was the Female Vocalist champion on Star Search for 1992. She sang Let's Stay Together, I Want to Know What Love Is (by Foreigner), and some other song I didn't know.

Sorry your extended families aren't as famous as mine.
