That was stupid, but I guess it was justified. Once, when my friend and I were in 7th grade or so, we switched the sunday school tapes at the church he went to. His dad would have meetings with the deaf group at his church, and we'd have to go along with him. Well, like kids, we got to exploring the church and we discovered that the preschool sunday school class would have their video in the vcr and ready to go so that all the teacher had to do sunday was turn the thing on and press play. Well, one day we decided to switch tapes, the bible bob or whatever it was already in the vcr, I don't really remember, with an adult video we'd gotten from somewhere. We made the switch then left. We never learned what happened, if the tape got played or not, because shortly after that his parents got divorced and he moved to a different town. That is the stupidest thing I think I've ever done.

Here's something else about me.
I have been really good friends with someone for 12 years that I thought considered me a good friend but come to thinkof it I was the one who always called him. Whenever we talked it usually involved him with some sort of problem and I would help him to fix it, yet when I had a problem he never once was there when I needed him. He will love on me by hugging me and talking to me about being happy in life but I am beginning to wonder if it is all a charade. I have now realized that I have been A DUPE. He never answers my calls or returns them for that matter and the only time he will talk to me is if I go to his house. I am just now realizing that I have been wasting my time. So much for my faith in him. I have cared for him for so long and the fact of the matter is I just now realized that it has been one sided this whole entire time. I am very hurt by all this and have realized that I have been very dumb to think that this person actually cares for me. He is only a friend yet I felt like he was my best friend, so much for that theory.
So I guess I am naive.

So sorry to hear (well, read) that Tioria, at least you can look forward to knowing that now.

Tioria, that guy is a fool. don't you worry over spilled milk. i think everyone of us has known a person like this and learned this lesson. just remember that not all people know how to be a good friend, some are very bad at it. i know that i have a hard time with social stuff and it irritates some of my more social friends. its not that i don't want to see them at the party, its that i can't stand parties- social people take me turning down a party as a rejection of them. when i see them becoming irritated about it, i try my best to explain it to them (because i don't want them to get the wrong idea). i would just prefer doing other things that i enjoy more. i really dislike drinking and merrymaking- happy people make me nervous. im actually much more sociable in peaceful surroundings.

awww ... I am sorry to hear that too ((Tioria))

I just remebered ... ... I can move my ears ... ... but not very fast tho ...

I once almost was electrocuted because I thought it seemed like a good idea to stick both wires from a computer coolin fan into the two slots on a power outlet.

I only managed to fry the fan and melt the wires though (not myself)

That sucks Tioria, sorry.

I can stand on one foot for five minutes.

Thx guys I appreciate your sympathy.

1. I used to steal street signs and hide them in my closet and the trunk of my car. One day my friend took my car without me knowing and was putting stuff in the trunk. He always took my car, I didn't care, anyways back to the story. he was putting stuff in the trunk and opened the trunk and went to slide his stuff in and cut his hand on a street sign I had in there. The funny thing is the street sign I had stole was Do NOt Enter. LOL

2. I was in a talent show when I was a senior in high school and instead of the original singing, playing an instrument or doing a dramatic monalouge. I decided to do a gymnastics routine. Well the talent part went over pretty well but the dress my grandma picked out for me resembled one of the southern belle dresses from the 1800's. It was white because they all had to be white and I think it was a wedding dress, needless to say I looked a little bit out there I never did another talent show after that.

A couple more things....

1. I have Mitral Valve Prolapse Disease. Luckily it is very common and rarely serious. Their is no medicine for me to take for it, and at any given moment I could pass cold out (which usually happens at the most inconvenient times). I've passed out in my parent's kitchen (my head landed in the dog's bowl, yuck!), at a restaurant, and at a club. I always know when it getting ready to happen. So, I have to make people aware in case it happens so they won't freak out, and so they'll know that I WILL wake up. Here is a link if anyone is interested.LINK

2. I began playing organized basketball when I was in 3rd grade and continued playing through the 12th grade. By then I was completely burnt out. I also played softball and ran track until 10th grade.

3. I suffer from clausterphobia. I have a hard time with elevators full of people (I usually end up holding my breath until I reach the floor I'm going to). Last weekend I went to my cousin's wedding and her reception was on the 60th (top) floor of this building. By the time I got all the way to the top (the elevator was full) I was completely nauscious and dizzy. When I fly I have to have a window seat (and a nice glass of chardonnay ), or again I start to feel nauscious.

Well, that's it for now!

kinda of new here.. so please bear with me...

1. my father met Grace Kelley once when he was in the navy, and I loved that because I so admire her

2.I was in a national beauty pageant.

lol DS,
u r something else.
riding ur bikes for 20 miles. u should make a movie out of these experiences. it would be a hit. just let me have a small part in it ok.

1. lol, i one time, when we were coming back from mexico, our friend keith wqs pretty wasted. our friend manny was driving and to be a prick he drove to the mall parkin lot and started to do dougnuts. keith evernturally blew jukes. poor guy, but we couldnt resist.

2. ummmmmm, thats all i got. my life isnt to exciting.

I have a recurring dream that my town is overrun with dinosaurs, and oddly enough, it's usually one of my favorite dreams.

uhm...hi!

On my first birthday I contracted what my folks thought was flu. So they took me to a doctors and asked for his opinion. He said it was just the flu and that I'd be be fine the following day.

Thankfully my dad is every bit as paranoid as I am (I got it from him, obviously) so he took me to the hospital to see whats wrong. He carried me into the A&E wing (The ER, esentially) and as he walked in this trainee nurse on her first shift sees me and shouted "MY GOD! HE'S GOT MENINJITIS!"

So they take me to the ward and sort me all out.
That night they go to my folks "Do you want to hold him?" so they do that and as they drive home they realise that that means the doctors thought I was going to die.

Anyways, I pretty much hit rock bottom with that and nearly died, according to the med records, and then I managed to make a complete recovery.

The meds were doing their rounds and they saw a baby jumping up and down in his crib shouting how he was hungry and wanted food...and they were like "oh no...that poor meningitis baby...what happened do him?"
And then the doc was like "Thats him"
"No way!"

I ended up with 3 of those ID tags on me cause I kept ripping them off...one on each wrist, one on my ankle.

And best of all, NOTHING is wrong with me.
The doctor was like "He'll have something wrong with him...sight or hearing most like"
And nothing is wrong!

So I consider myself pretty lucky in that respect.

Some story... I'm glad you fully recovered....
Babies are cute...

Andy Thorley , I'm glad you recovered too . Us people that live in a country where Meningitis is prevalent no just how bad it can get . You where a fiery little one wernt you .

Neato!

1) I touched the table where the Korean War Armstice was signed in the DMZ, while jumping around and saying "I'm in South Korea!" *hop* "I'm in North Korea!". The border between the two countries goes right through the middle of the table.

2) I gave a paper called "Japanese Animation: An Illustrated Analysis" to a bunch of PhD's at the 2002 Rocky Mountain Japan Seminar, which I made up on the spot showing clips from Trigun and Porco Rosso.

1. I used to pee on the floor at public bathrooms for fun:-\

Ghost Shark seems to be calling Reese out. Bad call, man, bad call.

Okay here are a couple things I bet you wouldn't think about me.

1. If I see a turtle in the road I have to stop and get it.

2. I can't watch Dumbo, when it gets to the scene where Dumbo's mom sings him the lullabye, it breaks me up every time. I know I know, such a wuss

3. I'm a real stickler for proper grammar and spelling, even though I don't always use it.

OK i had better catch up on this thread

1) yesterday me and 20 friends took over a boating lake and played pirates involving lots of Super soakers and boarding other peoples rowing boats taking hostages, swordfights and sinking other row boats - and got completely soaked

2) today i have the flu

1) my Dad was one of the people who designed the Thames Barrier

2) i lived in Indonesia for close to 2 years

ok..lets see... I have 2 dogs and a 3 legged cat, 2 snakes , 2 tanks of fish..both carnivrous

Otherwise I am not too exciting... I did meet Jim Nabors at one time

Two more from me.

1. My talking Gertie toy from the re-release of E.T. toys is very sensitve and she shouts something out about every 45 minutes. I get spooked everytime.

2. I once rewrote the Rifleman's Creed "This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine" to the Parliamentarian's Creed "This is my order paper, there are many like it but this one is mine"

Connecian .....


Three legged cat ? Carnivorous fish? I'm not quite sure about this , it dosen't seem well what can I say .....

I'm a little disturbed by this

1) i used to be naturally white blond as a kid

2) i haven't seen my natural hair colour for over a decade.

joining the AMEIRCAN military is my dream, no matter how hard i try i can't gain much weight or get fat, i had a relationship with a high school cheerleader, and i always get pushed around by people until i push back and then they are lucky to escape w/ their sanity intact (i beat up an eighth grader once)

Ouch! You should take more care of yourself Bizarro!

Man. Bizarro, you injure yourself a lot. You should be more careful. I broke my right hand punching a brick wall once.

1. In 2nd grade I took on a large group of 4th graders and only ended up with a dirty jacket, as for the lead one in the group, well, she ended up bleeding...

2. When I was eight, I out-ran over ten teenagers (12-16) who were trying to steal something from me.

3. I once had a wild duck named Daffy. He lived in a big box in my basement and ate cheerios.

Kismit....

The fish are in a safe tank.. and actually are my husbands.. he wants a rattle snake too..(shudder)

As for my cat.. he was hit by a car and I had a choice.. to fix his leg and have him in pain or amputate... so I choe what I thought was best.. and let me tell you.. he still gets around ..climbs trees and jumps on the roof .. man.. the cat is going to drive me batty...!!!!!



So see.. there is nothing to be to concerned about.. well nt in that area of my life anyway

Okay well it's been a few since I posted here so here are a couple more things:

1) WHen I was in first grade myself and a group of girls used to chase boys on the playground, pin them to the ground and kiss them! In second grade they were chasing us and in one instance tried to take a girls pants off (naughty boys)

2) I was only sent to the principals office once in my life. And he couldn't believe I'd never been there before

3) My friend Herman and I were horseplaying in the hall one day - we set the fire alarm off accidentally we ended up turning ourselves in though

hehe, Sabrina. i bet that taught you a lesson early on.

Ok...more stuff about me....erm...the toe next to my big toe on my left foot is double jointed and bigger than the big toe.

I'm ambide...erm ambidex...erm I can write with both hands which is pretty cool...I think I was supposed to be left handed but a teacher in my Junior School made me write with my right hand.

I've had three fights at school....all on boys....one was when I was about ten on a boy in the Year above me at school who wanted to have a fight on my brother who is two years older than me but was small for his age at the time...I told the kid that he wouldn't hit my brother, he laughed at me and said what are you gonna do about it...I said 'this' and gave him a left hook that left him with a black eye...another fight happened when this kid took some sand that workmen use and threw it in my little brothers face and was calling my mom names...this really angered me...so I gave him a good bashing and chased him onto a bus....other than this I am quite a mild mannered person

Yes, emmy is very mild mannered, and almost never loses her temper at all, and I should know



Also while emmy was at work today, she had to phone a computer repair man, to ask what was wrong with it, after she had made the system checks and competed what she had to do, she was told to hit any key to go back to windows, what did she go and say to him next?

Erm, I can't find the any key.

Poor Emmy

@emmy. you get em! i can't even throw a decent left hook

When I was little, in maybe 3rd grade or so, there was this bully who picked on my little brother. One day at the bus stop, I decided to do something about it. I confronted the bully, and when he threatened me, I tried to do the crane kick from the karate kid. He caaught my foot and threw me down, then proceeded to kick the @$$%! out of me. The karate kid lies, brothers and sisters.

I am now a youth minister , well actually co-ordinator till i finish my bachelors degree...
I have a bunch of teens I will exchange for work... optiuons.. the auction bid is open

I should probably put this this post in the let's get to know each other thread, but since it's a page or so back, or something, basically I'm too lazy to scroll down, I'll start a whole new thread. Here are some things I do that are just strange, I don't know why I do them.

Whenever I see a midget, I have to point him/her out.

When my q-tip hits a particularly big gob of ear wax, I feel oddly triumphant. Like it's a minor accomplishment.

When I sleep, I have to have a pillow over my face.

thanks

No problem, just remember to not start more then one thread about the same topic.

Excuse me for butting in, this is the only thread I found that even resembled somewhere to make an introduction of myself.
First of all I am probably older than nearly everyone else, whose post I have seen here.(older than dirt) I have a deep and abiding interest in so called "anomalies", be it paranormal, extraterrestrial, archaeological, or any other venue.
I have enjoyed reading others comments...and frustrations and hope to be around for some time to come. Thank you for allowing me to make my hello to you all.

1.I am an amature boxer
2.I know Carlos Santana
