bethany725 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Alrighty, after I'm all weepy from Lexie's message.... Here is a list of 5 things about me: 1. I love baked potatoes with only salt and pepper on them. 2. I have a pretty strong southern US accent. 3. I'm a very girly-girl.. love make-up and fixing my hair and dressing up and all those shallow things. 4. I was adopted by my parents when I was 14 months old. 5. I've lived in 4 states and 2 countries in the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 5. I've lived in 4 states and 2 countries in the past year. I so couldn't cope with all that moving around. Don't you like get upset making new friends to leave them so quickly? I imagine it's hard moving from country to country, when you've met so many people that have become friends to you. Has anyone else had these experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ii Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 3. I'm a very girly-girl.. love make-up and fixing my hair and dressing up and all those shallow things. It's not shallow. 5. I've lived in 4 states and 2 countries in the past year. I so couldn't cope with all that moving around. Don't you like get upset making new friends to leave them so quickly? I imagine it's hard moving from country to country, when you've met so many people that have become friends to you. Has anyone else had these experiences? Well, for me it was never quite so rapid, as we usually lived in one place for at least a year. But we did spend a lot of time traveling, so while we'd be living in one place, we'd be spending Thanksgiving here and Christmas there and summer was two or three places and so on. Yes, it's difficult. For me, I spent most of my childhood in one place, we always kind of returned there, but it was hard, coming back after a year and all my friends had gotten all new things going on and stuff. And in the new places, what with all the traveling, it took quite some time to make friends sometimes, and we'd be going away again. But on the other hand, I know that the friendships I've kept from those years are really strong, they can stand just about anything. So there maybe only few of them, but they're strong. But it did take a lot of letter, phone calls and holidays spent visiting each other. Did that answer your question at all? I've only had one cup of coffee, so I don't make sense easily.

I imagine it's hard moving from country to country, when you've met so many people that have become friends to you. Has anyone else had these experiences? There are definitely some difficult parts -- it IS hard to leave behind my friends that we make, but at the same time, I've been able to make so many more friends than I would have otherwise, and I still keep in touch with the closest ones. It's a huge opportunity for me, personally, since I grew up in the same fairly small town and really never left the area until I was 25 years old. So when my fiance interviewed and got a job that let us travel and move around every 6 months for two years, with 2 of those rotations being international, we pretty much jumped at the chance and turned down several other offers to accept this one. I'd never traveled, and we started the rotations immediately after we got married. What makes it great for us is that I think we entered with the right mindset -- We KNEW what we were signing up for, and we knew it was only 2 years. And since we're both young (26 and 29) and aren't planning to start a family right now, it was the perfect time for us to take the opportunity. There are adjustments every time we move, but overall, I wouldn't trade this opportunity for anything, and I wouldn't turn around and march back home right now, even if I could. So far we've done NYC, Missouri, and India.. each for 6 months. We have one more rotation to do, and I'll honestly say much of me will be sad when this experience is over. I have the rest of my life to settle down and establish roots in one place, start a family, etc. But for now, being young and newlyweds, I'm having a blast doing this.

Stephanie2008 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have lived in the same town since I was born (nearly 20 years ago) and all my family are close, with the furthest being half and hour drive. I couldn't imagine moving at all at the moment - but I know that will probably change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 1) Using the National Archives, Angel, my Dad and I have managed to trace back our family tree to as far back as the mid1800's, discovering lots of aunts, uncles and cousins, etc, we didn't have a clue about. 2) I have really long, slightly thick but rarely unruly, brown hair. 3) My school won a national award last year for Most Improved Specialist School 4) I love to draw- if I've got a reader's block, I'll just sit and doodle for a while. 5) There's a Grey Lady near where I live- there have been loads of car accidents where the drivers have tried to avoid her.

Tiger Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Tiger. I know, the freaky thing is that I stayed in a nearby manor literally next door to her haunting area, and walked near that place at night on our midnight walk, when I was 11 and didn't even have a clue!

Nollaig Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I've hung round haunted places to prove a point. In my small town in kerry there's a 'ghost train' that goes over the old iron railway bridge on Halloween. I went up there on Halloween with some mates and surprise surprise, nothing.
