Everyone Do this - 5 things list

[Bill]

Everyone do this it will be fun,

List 5 things most people you know or meet would never guess or know about you.

I will go first here...most of these happened while I was younger (under 20) but one #5 is still a "as of today" thing...

----------------

1. As a kid I wanted to be a Helicopter Pilot, it never changed - for years I wanted to do this, yet as an adult I am scared of heights much less flying - Go Figure...

2. In highschool 2 buddys and I moved a car from taking up 2 parking spots at the mall (parked very intentionally in two spots), it was a vette and at the last pick up and slide of the car the rear bumper area started to crack - it was my idea, dumb idea.

3. I only cheated once in highschool, it was a Religion test and I did not study but NEEDED to pass it or have to return for summer school. A STRICT Nun taught the class - even to this day at times I recall the test and wish I never did it. I feel like God will not be happy with me over that one...

4. I was approached by a friends newly divorced aunt in an "intimate" way at my friends graduation party, I never "did it" or told him about it, I just never went back to his house and we drifted apart after highschool.

5. Spiders FREAK ME OUT! I mean heart racing, clammy hands freak me out! This is amusing to my wife (aka the spider killer) as this fear is coming from a 6'6' BIG guy vs what - a 1 inch 1 oz house spider, yes I know I am a wuss...hehe

----------------

Ok those are 5 things most people reallly don't know about me some weird, some bad, some funny but all true...

Here are 2 bonus things

6. I saw KISS on Easter Sunday once (many years ago), there was a protest outside by a bunch of people, mostly clergy with signs etc, 2 of them were nuns from my school, it was on the news and the 10 seconds out of maybe 25 mins I stood there - I couldn't stand them screaming at us in line to get in and I was seen flipping off the protestors (on a 5 second tv bit) and of course the next week at school I was put into detention for 2 weeks.



7. I once found a sawed off shotgun laying in a parking lot near my house as a kid, a robbery had just happened, the guy pulled thru the lot dropped the gun (seeing me 20 feet away) and sped away, I picked it up and tried to even shoot it (I was very young maybe 5) but didn't have enough strength to get the trigger back, came into house chasing sister with it, mom said WTF!?!?!? and called the police... SO glad I wasn't able to pull the trigger on it, haven't touched a gun since and that incident/guy gave me nightmares for years...

Well I'm pretty boring but I'll try.

1. I can drive a bulldozer. A friend of my husband has one and was doing some work for us. I said, "that looks like fun" and he said, "hop up here and I'll show you how". Now I want a backhoe, lol.

2. Bill's car thing reminded me - I used to work with this awful girl and she'd go upstairs to eat lunch and leave her purse under her desk. I'd get her car keys and move her car around in the parking garage, she thought she was going crazy. Then I found out that moving someone's car more than 10 feet without permission is considered car theft, so I just started turning it around or parking it crooked.

3. My most embarrassing moments always seem to involve shoes. Got all the way to work one morning, swung my leg out of my car and realized I was still wearing enormous furry blue house slippers. How could I not notice this? NOT a morning person... Wore 2 different shoes to my SIL's wedding - with different size heels! Still don't know how I managed that.. .

4. I still collect Matchbox cars.

5. I knew I'd marry my husband the first time I ever saw him, when I was just 14. I didn't even know his name. I dated other guys, but I just somehow always knew I'd end up with him.

See, pretty boring! Ok, I got into trouble when I was young like everyone else but let's just say the details are a little fuzzy and leave it at that, lol. Next!

I thought those were great! Especially the fuzzy shoes at work!

[boo]

Ok...here's mine

1. I wanted to be a flight attendant when I was a teenager....before I realized flying makes me puke!

2. I was very shy growing up ....now I'll talk to anyone, about anything

3. When I was in 6th grade there was a girl who used to tease me alot, so at a slumber party we were both at, when she was sleeping, me and another girl took pics of her in her underwear and passed them around at school.

3. My dream in life is to meet Steve Perry. Believe it or not nobody but my husband knows this!

4. I can be very stubborn

5. Never guess that I'm 48.....ever since I can remember people have always thought I was much younger than I was. Hated it when I was young but as I get older I love it more each year, most people think I'm 35 or 36.

[lecalla]

1) I always wanted to be a pilot until I found out how much freaking math was involved, lol!

2) I was also very shy growing up, never felt like I fit in anywhere. Now, I talk to anyone and absolutely love people

3) I love snakes. Absolutely love them. Hate spiders. Always have. I have empathy for ya Bill, lol!

4) People are surprised to find that I have an almost 19 year old daughter, they always ask me how old I was when I had her. This secretly pleases me because I'm almost 42~

5) I'm writing a sci-fi novel. Someday, I hope to get it published.

Hugs!!

Fantastic idea Bill!!! *applause*

1.) I have always wanted to be able to sing....I really cannot...I remember being kicked out of music class in grade 3...such a blow to a fragile young child...to this day NOBODY has heard me sing...I am great at lip synching...lol

2.) I never wanted to have children...I never saw myself as the 'mothering' kind....I have never had children, but have raised my husband's two small children from the ages of 6 & 10...they are now 22&26

3.) I one time 'faked sick' so I could stay home to watch the Bay City Rollers on the Merv Griffin show...and my best friend had to go to school

4.) I have been/am terrified of ghosts....they fascinate me to no end, but I do not wanna see/meet one. I sleep with a light on when my husband is working nights!!! Shhhhh....LOL.

5.) I also have a gun incident...my brother had a pellet gun while we were growing up....he kept it in a closet/wardrobe type of thing....I used to love the sound it made when you opened it up and pulled the trigger, that empty noise it made....anyway....I went into his room one day and took the gun out and opened it up and closed it...set it on the door of the wardrobe and squeezed the trigger....my brother grabbed his throat and screamed.....I screamed too....he rushed down stairs, me on his heels...I did not know he had left a pellet in the gun....I had grazed his throat with the pellet....the skin was hardly moved, just like a rug burn sort of thing. I never got in trouble for this?? But to this day I hate guns and have a fear of them...

Eric! I got to meet him once, I asked to take a photo with him and he put his arm around me. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven! Who was your "fave?"

p.s. Boy, I wish I still had all those "16" Magazines, they're worth a bundle on e-Bay, lol.

I bet it was amazing to meet him. Aside from the teenybopper images they had, they did love to perform. And my fave was Woody

I too wish I had all my teen mags.....my walls were plasterd with their pics too...typical teen...*sigh*
