List something about yourself that others might find surprising

The title says it all. List something about yourself that other SDers would find surprising. It must be a real thing about you.

For an example:
Iconian could say he once wrote a sentence that was grammatically correct and all the words were spelled correctly.

If that were a true statement, I would find it surprising. laugh out loud


I'll go first...

I have flown a plane.

Quote from ForeverDcember :
I daydream a lot. I love to make up situations in my head where I am the coolest person around. My favorite one lately was where I day dreamed I was at a wedding and everyone was dancing horribly, I went in the middle of the crowd and break danced better than anyone had ever seen. Everyone cheered and thought I was amazing. I love daydreaming.

I used to want to be an FBI agent, more specifially a criminal profiler. This was before the CSI/Law & Order/Bones hype.

I once was the proud owner of a wild field mouse. My Mom & Step-Dad were in court for an accident my Step-Dad was in at work (long story, almost died, horrible) and a mouse was running around. My Mom caught it and brought him home and we kept him in a hamster cage with a wheel. His name was Justice and he was the cutest little guy.

I was very nieve teenager. I went through my "crazy college girl" phase early. At one point I tresspassed on someone's property twice with a friend and stole something. We even dressed like robbers and put face paint on. I was a farking stupid girl back then, I really like to think I have grown up, matured and become a good person. I am thankful everyday that I wasn't too horrible, never got into drugs, never hurt anyone physically, wasn't sent to jail and that my family knows nothing of my "wild" ways.

My favorite month is not December.

I am not an adult film star or aspiring one.
I used to daydream (when I was a kid) about a cute guy in school about how I would save him from different disasters, had and still do have the daydreams about being famous or at the top of my field...that's why I am justawanabe. I have the same exact feelings..I was a good kid, no drugs, no jail, no problems with alcohol, spend a bit too much here and its mostly on other people..I guess i still think I have all the time in the world to write that book, or open that business..

I played the cornet in the Jr. High band. We won first in our division and first overall in a band competition.

I wrote the lyrics for our Jr. High School song. AFAIK, they still sing it at all of the rally's and games.

I hate to grocery shop. HATE it! Have always hated it.

If I could choose between hiring a housekeeper, a nanny (when the kids were little), or someone to do my weekly grocery shopping, I would pick the grocery shopper.

HATE IT!!!!

I used to take pics of my Lego creations because I was so proud of them. I was a self-proclaimed Lego Maniac. Zack had nothing on me.

Online grocery shopping, ftw! I use AmazonFresh but it's only available in the greater Seattle area. But many other grocery store chains offer online shopping delivered to your doorstep.

When I was little I refused to eat chicken soup. My Mom would by me chicken & stars and tell me it was the soup Rainbow Brite would eat. It was the only way I would eat them. (I still hate that soup to this day, any Campbells chicken noodle variety= Sick )

When I was little I would hear about a "rape" on the news and I misheard it as "rake." I was terrified of a man jumping from the bushes and attacking me with a garden rake.

I've held some sort of job since I was 14. All through high school I either worked as a trail guide for the local horse stable or worked as a waitress.

I use to participate in horse shows in the fine harness division.

I was thrown by a horse when I was in the 3rd grade and broke both my wrist.

During college I spent my summers doing summer stock theatre.

I play guitar, harp and a bit of violin.

I can't eat liver. I can't swallow it. vomit

I'm afraid of the dark. Frown

and...

If you want it you got to put a ring on it and he did Smilie
