[quote author="gypsyuma" date=1244173678][quote author="gypsyuma" date=1244116537]1. I spent my childhood in the back woods of Iowa in a town with only 625 people, where I was the town newspaper delivery girl and was frequently flashed by a pervert and attacked by dogs.
2. I have mild OCD and clean the house pretty much off and on all day long, cannot stand odd numbers, and get anxiety attacks when it comes to clutter.
3. I have never understood why people like Tevas and resisted Crocs until I felt how comfortable they are, but because they are so ugly will only wear them to the beach.
4. I graduated from high school after the 11th grade at the age of 16, but now feel that was too young to go off to college on my own.
5. I love period films or dramas about history, like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, A Room with a View.
6. I am addicted to Iced Coffee, which I make at home and drink like water. And which keeps me up till 3am nightly, giving me only 4 hours sleep a night.
7. I acted upon an idiotic whim and moved to Paris by myself at age 19, married a bad boy, and then somehow ended up living in a small village in Algeria. Shockingly, that marriage didn't last long.
8. I know how to play the flute, but wish I could play the piano instead. I tried to teach myself once, but I sucked.
9. I used to be an incredible artist in college and would spend hours sketching people's faces. I tried it again recently, but with four kids I only got one eyeball finished before I got interrupted and gave up. I have had that one eye ball waiting for a mate in my closet for the last year.
10. I am very Irish, and when I visited Dublin a few years back the other tourists kept coming up to me in the crowd to ask directions.
11. I hate bland food, so have an entire library of cook books. When I am at peace I will try a new recipe every night, but when I am stressed I only make the few things I make the best.
12. When I was young I was a really bad driver because I did not focus and wrecked every single one of my parents cars - just one reason of many that my Mom hates me.
13. I went to law school , but now think I would have made a much better doctor.
14. Being the sheltered pup that I was (see #1), I didn't find out there were gay people until the guy I was infactuated with in my Sophomore year of college dumped me for a guy.
15. David Hasselhoff (America's Got Talent) came on to me at Cactus Charlies, an American bar in Paris in 1985. He proceeded to chug about 7 Long Island Iced Teas and was literally slobbering and telling me over and over that he liked my hair. When girls would ask him for his autograph, I would have to hold the pen in his hand and practically sign his name.
16. I am ready to go back to work, but am at a loss as to what path I should take that would still allow me to raise my four children.
17. I have often toyed with the idea of writing a book, but think my OCD would get in the way. I guess it already has.
18. I have been a political activist on behalf of the Palestinians since writing a thesis on the conflict in law school, and recently traveled to D.C. to meet with Congressional Foreign Policy staff members to argue their case.
19. I like really poor people alot more than I do rich people.
20. I love to a smoke cigarette once or twice a day, but have to hide it so my children don't see. Which makes me feel like I am smoking crack or something.
21. I used to love to travel and move every year, but now I am just over it and want to buy a home that I will grow old and die in.
22. I am an idealist with too high of expectations for people, so I am often left down horribly.
23. I think that the long black robes that Middle Eastern women wear (abayas) are absolutely beautiful and I have an entire collection.
24. When I was young I was really great at tennis and ping pong. I am planning on getting a ping pong table and put it in my garage to play with the kids.
25. My best friend in the world was my nanny when I lived in Dubai, U.A.E. Her name is Suba and she is Sri-Lankan. I have tried to get her the visa for this country, but she was rejected. I am hoping that USCTrojan will marry her so that she can immigrate here and live down the street from me in Irvine.</blockquote>
I see that USCTrojanman has read my attempt to arrange a marriage for him....... but is eerily silent. I guess my dream to have my best friend living down the street from me in Irvine must be put on hold. DARN!</blockquote>
No, I caught that...nice try.
The silence was because I was in meetings and at lunch. haha
