10 Things to know about Me . . .

[unfrufru]

simple premise, just list 10 things that people may or may not know about you (obscure stuff would be better).

1. My first TV appearance was being interviewed when i was little by Channel 7 for the Teddy Bears Picnic (I won main prize, don't remember what it was but strangely, it was not a teddy bear).

2. My first actor crush was Noah HAthaway who played Atreyu in the Never Ending Story

5. When i was young i wanted to be a stripped or a rock star cause i thought they were basically the same thing.

7. i used to be skinny and attractive.

8. I always wanted a pet echidna

9. For 6 years i fought against what i thought was the crappiest tv show ever, Buffy. cause i had seen the movie and that was enough. until we had to do a satire of the show for uni and i watched 27 episodes in a weekend and started watching it on tv and became strangely addicted.

10. My confirmation name is Mary which everyone assumes is due to Mary, mother of Jebus but its actually Mary Magdelene cause she was cool. and my middle name is Maria so roughly translated my name is Ally Mary Mary (quite contrary)

[op shop girl]

1) When I was 4 years old I developed a severe speech impediment. My stutter was so bad that I was selected to take part in a special research program. My only memories of this time was having my conversations secretly recorded and being rewarded with scratch'n'sniff stickers.

2) At the age of 10 I had my first television appearance. A Current Affair were doing a piece about new forms of speech therapy and they needed a cute little kid as part of the 'success story'

3) When I was in kindegarten I stayed up late one evening and watched "Married with Children" when my parents weren't watching. The following day at school I introduced my friend to stripper-Barbie.

4) I have the same initials as Homer Jay Simpson. The similarities stop there...mostly.

5) I have missing sinuses...or something along those lines. Last year I showed my CAT scan to a doctor who said "Well, that certainly isn't normal!"

[Cherryish]

It's been awhile, so...

1. I have never had more than a few sips of alcohol in my entire life, and I'm not particualry interested in going out and getting drunk, much to everyone's shock. It just doesn't interest me.

2. I prefer to watch people than interact with them, because, as a general rule, I just don't understand (most) people.

3. I really like photography (but don't have many skills in that area).

4. I really don't like working with customers, yet they've promoted me to the 'Customer Care' section of the call centre I work in, so I get to deal with complaints (and compliments).

5. I would really like to live in Melbourne (or Perth - but mostly Melbourne).

6. I own way too many Threadless shirts.

7. I'm really stuggling to come up with 10 things about me

Wouldn't that be an inaction figure?

[pixieDAAS]

I don't drink alcohol either, being in control is hard enough as it is.
My cousin sums it up like this: Alcoholism is a expensive habit

[Laurenandë]

Ditto to the alcohol thing. Mostly because it annoys me that...

1. When I'm drunk, I can't feel my lips because they go numb first and it freaks me right out. And alcohol is expensive.
2. I think natural selection is a valid option for the human race. I meet a huge cross-section of people where I work and I'm sorry, but some people do not need to procreate.
3. I'm very lazy at home/uni, but at work, hyperactive and very productive.
4. The only bone I've broken is the fifth metatarsal in my left foot. I was attempting to stag-ring leap then vault through a hoop thrown at me and hit the floor rolling but I sat on my toe instead (rhythmic gymnastics).
5. I want to live in the country.
6. I have read Harry Potter so many times it's embarrassing.
7. I'm crap at keeping new friends.
8. I hate wearing g-strings. I'm sorry, but they're bloody uncomfortable.
9. I have perfect pitch but lack the attention span required to learn an instrument or sing. I've tried piano, violin, flute and classical voice so far and quit all of them.
10. I am learning to juggle three balls. So far I have juggling two balls in one hand down pat. I envy anyone who can juggle.
