State a completely random fact about yourself.

[esbee27]

I can't fall asleep without socks on. But I can't stay asleep with socks on, so I always wake up and take them off in the middle of the night.

 

[KathyTX]

I've driven Peterbilts.

 

[gemini2727]

I can roll my r's and whistle.

 

[teacherlisa1978]

I've never had a beer. Not even a sip. Give me a girly fruity drink anytime.

I detest getting my haircut because I can't stand sitting there staring at myself in the mirror.

Have a fear of water at night. no idea why, during the DAY however this happened~ I was in FL and my DD was snorkeling lost one of her fins she had just gotten for her birthday, so I paddled out on a raft so I could lay face down and scan the bottom for it. Suddenly I see a dark shadow of what I think is one very large sting ray, but it keeps going and going, directly under me, and then the fin..then the tail..and it's completely silent! I didn't hear anything, just saw it glide under me. I pretty much skeedaddled to shore after that. My brother was laughing and my mom was just saying, "she saw something and it wasn't the fin she was after" SO I guess, my DIS name came true except not the fin I am a fan of lol. I *think* it was a guitar shark which aren't dangerous and can come close ,and I know this, but that silent, errie-ness is what got me.

I can whistle really loudly and my whistle to get my kids home became a kind of "if you hear the whistle, check in at home" for most of the kids on the street lol.

Every night I sleep in a sleeping bag, on the floor, next to my bed, in my bedroom.

My DS sleeps on an army cot next to his bed, lol.

 

[usnuzuloose]

I can touch my nose with my tongue

Me too!!!

Haha, that makes three of us. My friends would freak out.

 

[lisaviolet]

Two of my friends have Oscars and one of my friends has an Academy Award.

Huh?

 

[nomie74]

In college I competed in axe throwing competitions. I work inside and am not at all athletic now so I'm glad I had that experience!

 

[Handbag Lady]

Huh?

You can win an Academy Award and not have it be an Oscar. And I have one of those recipients in my life. Plus the Oscar guys, too.

 

[ten6mom]

I am a Backstreet Boys fan but didn't become one until I was an adult.

 

[Jedana]

I will put on club music and dance to it while I'm doing housework. DD2 walked in on me, shaking my booty to Usher's Yeah, while I was doing the dishes.....

It's the only time I listen to that kind of music. Otherwise, it's country, 80s tunes, or rock.

ETA: apparently, I forgot punctuation.....

As in a special Academy Award for a body of work, an honorary? Simply curious. But then again you said win, so maybe back to the drawing board.

 

[IndyRnRfan]

I can roll the edges of my tongue together and flip my tongue over both to the left and right.

 

[AlohaNow]

And if you had returned it damaged?

I was successful in my endeavor of keeping it safe! And if it had been damaged……well……the guy’s gotta have back-up bows, right?

Where did Yo-Yo Go?

I couldn't help myself...I had to ask. Seriously what did he say to you when he handed it over? Or was it an assistant?

It was my boss and she told me I had to take it to the bow maker to be rehaired. I was super nervous walking down the street to catch a cab with it, thinking, “This will be the day a bike messenger runs into me.” But I sheathed it in a rather large bagel bag so it was protected.

 

[LBIJim]

I've decided to become one of those women who lie about their age.

Just lie and say you're 90, and everyone will tell you how great you look for your age!!

Well - I'd heard that once he forgot cello in a taxi, so if anyone understands about mistakes it would be him. The bow was placed in a case, right? It's not like you were carrying it loose.

BTW - saw him perform last August at UC Berkeley. Awesome performance although it was a bit chilly. Once he started playing, his eyes were closed and he didn't open until he stopped playing. I also didn't expect that it would be amplified. It was outdoors so there wasn't concert hall acoustics.

I am legally blind in my left eye, therefore I am overprotective of my right eye!

I am also legally blind in my left eye.

Last year I met the lady who donated her son's heart to my daughter almost 26 years ago!

 

[Minnesota!]

I get massive anxiety and pretty much want to punch someone when I hear them chewing/crunching on anything hard. Literally makes my skin crawl.

Ditto! Extreme rage!

I enjoy kicking off snow that builds up around the wheels of vehicles.

I always tell my husband that this is the.only part of winter I find.enjoyable!

I have extreme anxiety and near debilitating panic attacks but I refuse to take.meds or get counseling for.it because both of those options cause.me too much anxiety....relying on medication to live or having.to.talk to a stranger. So, I just push thru. Some days it is a struggle to just open my eyes.
