Dimitra Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 2) I hate New years eve and New years day. I get really down and depressed, even if I have no reason what so ever to feel down. I have been like this since I was a child and no one knows why. Oh, that's a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernnutter Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 1. The best day of my life so far.- My wedding day. Magical. 2. The worst day of my life so far.- Receiving a telephone call at 4am on a tuesday from my Dad telling me my mum had passed away. Devestating. 3. Scariest day of my life so far.- Living in Indiana in the U.S. our area got hit by a tornado. The house five houses down the street was completely obliterated. 4. At 18, thinking I'd failed all my 'A' levels, I did a runner, jumped on a plane, and left the country. Turns out I passed them all!! But didn't return to the U.K untill I was 25! 4. My worst habit: Biting my nails! Have done this since childhood, and have never been able to stop. Half the time, I don't know I'm even doing it.

AbielleRose Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 5 more... 1. I don't know my actual eye color because it constantly changes depending on what colors I wear. Some days they are green and some they are bright blue. My driver's licence says blue but they are green most of the time. (or so I think) 2. My dad, stepmom and I are all trained storm chasers. I love tornado watching but am petrified to drive in 1 inch of snow. 3. I had a poem published in a book when I was 15 as a prize for winning a writing contest that my teacher made me enter. I didn't want to write it and ended up just scribbling down something that I thought would be rejected and handed it into her without much thought of the poem's content. I was so embaressed of that piece of work that I threw the copy of the book that they gave me away. I wish I still had it . (That teacher was the one who eventually inspired me and encouraged me to be a professional writer.) 4. I have no feeling in any of my toes except for the big ones due to several (and by several I mean hundreds) of hours playing soccer barefoot. I hated wearing shoes as a kid and my feet are forever screwed up because of it. Though it is kind of nice in a way because if I stub one of them I can't feel the pain 5. I snort sometimes when I laugh so I try to avoid laughing around people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 1. I may have mentioned this before, (if so, apologies), I do not have my ears pierced because I am too scared to do it, despite having numerous tattoos, I think I have a weird thing about my ears. 2. My Great~Grandad was very superstitious, he believed in banshees, etc and that every house should have a cat, as you know, my family are a cat family 3. I fall asleep (when I sleep) at the drop of a hat, I can sleep standing up! I also fell asleep getting a tattoo done and I had to be woken up. 4. I have a very dirty laugh, I am so self conscious about it, I try not to laugh. 5. The older I get the more embarrassed I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 1) The radio/cd player in my car hasn't worked for about 18 months, so I am frequently singing in my car ~ often without realising. 2) My favourite (ever) pair of shoes were purple suede. I loved them 'til the day they finally could be worn no more ~ and I miss them still. 3) If I could get away with it I would throw out all my trinkets and nick-knacks and have more bookshelves (and books!). 4) I love clocks, although we own few. 5) I now have a massive urge to find the perfect joke and tell it in Weave's company, just to hear her laugh!

Kylie Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 4) I love clocks, although we own few. I hate the sound of ticking clocks. I have a Beatles clock hanging on the wall in my kitchen. I purposely put a flat battery in it so it doesn't even work. The funny thing is, 95% of the time it doesn't work, then one day I will suddenly hear ticking and it will last a day or two (I try to tolerate it) before it stops again. I don't even bother setting the time on it though. It was ticking too much yesterday so I finally took the battery out. Now it just hangs there looking pretty. "Clocks should be seen and not heard" is my new motto. I would also love to hear Weave's laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I hate ticking clocks too, Kylie, and our kitchen clock has had no battery in it for years! When I stay at my parents' house, I have to put the clock from the spare room into the bathroom for the duration of my visit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 It's not really about the ticking, although I associate a 'good' tick with happy times in my childhood. It's more I like the variety of them. We have a (fake) railway clock in our hall, and a beautiful rough hewn wooden clock. I just love 'em!

rachel kay Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Did you make your own wedding dress? I'm afraid not! Not this time anyway. There just aren't enough hours in the day to make for yourself when you make for other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquarius91 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I have just realised I spent nearly half an hour reading this thread (not all of it), how time flies! Anyways my 5 are: - I am oldest of 3 (1 sis, 1 bro) - I was born in Jan 1991 in England - I have 11 GCSE's, 1 diploma and Im currently studying for my 2nd diploma (Child Psychology). - I have waitressed for the Freemasons (as in the organisation, or cult, as some call it that have the secret handshakes and whatnot) for two years. - I absolutely love fast food and takeaways and eat waaaay more of it than I should- why can't I love fruit!?!

aquarius91 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I come across these guys a lot when i research various things. Some people have never heard of them and I have to go into a long winded explanation and others are like "Oh, they actually exist" lol. Even after 2 years I know little more than everyone else does about them..very secretive. Probably shouldn't even talk about it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 - I have waitressed for the Freemasons (as in the organisation, or cult, as some call it that have the secret handshakes and whatnot) for two years.

Rawr Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Apparently a lot of Presidents have consistently been 33rd Degree Masons and various other people within influential positions throughout present day and history, interesting to know if there are elements of truth to it!

aquarius91 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Officially the coolest fact of the thread Well thank you very much. I can quite believe that influential people have been freemasons. They all seem very well educated, and on the most part friendly businessman. Interesting fact I got told from work: Up until 2-3 years ago only girls were allowed to serve the freemasons (at the place I work if not everywhere), the logic behind it being that we 'wouldn't understand' what they were talking about, whereas boys would. I'm not saying they are sexist in any way but erm..yeah come to your own conclusion about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Oh yeah i think there is a similar society for women, i remember reading about it. I see how it is energising and productive to gather intelligent and motivated people together but in such societies i don't really agree with why it needs to be done in such ways, it seems like just being drawn into carrying on a tradition of secrecy for the sake of it. Though I have read through many different sources, that you can't really go above a certain level anyway unless you pay a lot of money for the 'degrees' and are in a very influential position, then you are 'in' with all the powerbrokers. There are tales that it all links back to the generations and worshipping of Ra(?) and various strange Gods and that these people and families have always ran the world :S I know i'm WAY off topic but i do that Conspiracies are interesting discussion! Certainly a cool fact though! Another fact for Rawr - He doesn't know when to shut up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
