As far as the American members on the site, I see that we have quite a few GRITS here.

GRITS = Girls Raised In The South

neverlandprincess wrote:Ok my turn! I love things like this and that is funny because I do not have the MOST interesting life...but I always find random facts about other people interesting.
I am white. My first name is Sara but I go by my middle name "Danielle" and I have for my whole life-it was not a mid teen life change. I am oldest of 6 children and yes they are from the same parents who are still together (those two questions always follow). I live in a small town in Alabama where we moved from another small town in Georgia. Even though I am southern and always will be,I did live in Columbus Ohio (which I hated) for almost three years. I hated the cold icy wind and the flat landscape and the impersonal ways of people;however,I loved the school I attended (World Harvest Bible College) and the diverse friends I had from all over.
I was homeschooled my entire schooling and so are my brothers. I graduated when I was eighteen like everyone else in the world and I socialize well just like everyone else too. I love to write poems as well as opinions and I love reading. I would like to travel if I ever get out of debt.
I am 27 years old tomorrow and I keep forgetting about it because it seems that after I turned 21 all my cool Birthdays just went out the window. I was married and then divorced before I was 22 and I have been single ever since. I have been on one date since then and it really doesn't even count. Unfortunatly I am back at my parents home,and though it is only for the time being, I still battle guilt about it. I do work but it seems $ is so stretched over all the bills I am just never going to get away from where I am now. My car is in the shop and it SUCH a God given blessing that I got an incredible deal for repairing it.
I love coffee...like I could take it through the veins. I love the smell and I love to hear it brew. I used to work in a coffee shop and I really did like that job. Forget food -as long as I have chocolate and coffee...and cigerettes but I am trying to quit and I have not smoked since Friday night. I love to smoke but I don't like HAVING to smoke-you knwo feeling controlled by it. This is the second time I have quit-the first was 5 years ago (I started back this time last year). It has not been hard but I do miss it.
I am incredibly close to the two brothers that came after me. The next three I am still mainly their oldest sister. The two youngest siblings are both special needs,so I am highly sensitive to special children being mistreated or misunderstood. I cannot stand seeing people fully expect special children to perform as what they see as "normal". I also hate to see people expect their children to act as adults. I have no children.
I am considering going back to school but I am lost in all would like to do and I have a fear of waking up one day at fifty something and realize I never did any of it.
I love to write-wait I already said that-I love photography (as an art). I like people and generally get along with all people. People almost always think I am unbearably shy or just stuck up...neither is true. I was shy when I was a young teenager and that developed into being just being introverted and abusive towards myself. I got through that and I am no longer that way-but I am not a snob either. I just like to watch people and evaluate who they are before I am comfortable approaching them. Once I do everyone wants to take the credit for me "coming out of my shell". People usually are surprised about what they find out about me...I don't know why.
I love all kinds of music...if it is good. I did alot of self reflecting after June 25th. Remember I did not seriously consider a hoax until the burial...so I was devastated and surprised at myself for taking it so hard. My first memory of MJ was a Pepsi commercial,though I do not remember which one. The bad era-I was six and he made me blush. This was because I just thought he was sooo cute and was aware everyone knew that I did. I always loved him but for several years growing up I was only allowed to listen to "oldies"...so I heard all the J5 stuff-lol-and saw him on award shows. Early teen years and Lisa Marie news/HIStory hit. This is when I discovered MJ fully. I bought everything with him on it and made a point to learn all his songs from all his albums. This is when I started expereminting with creative writing. I love words and Michael knew how to use words.
Favorite MJ era -Dangerous/ Favorite song-ummmm at least ten off each album. FAv video-Remember the Time and STranger in Moscow.

Sorry Rach-you said random facts and I think I gave a short bio.

The Little White Bird wrote:Here are 25 facts about me. Why not leave me a few facts about yourself, thus making this site a highly factual hive of facts!

1.
I am a walking hive of useless information, for instance did you know
In Cleveland, Ohio it is illegal to catch mice without a hunting license

2. I believe in heaven and its called a Cadbury’s cream egg

3. I used to own two rats called Bubble and Squeak. Rats like lager and curry.

4.
My hair has a mind of its own and thus has an independent thought
process from the rest of my body. It never looks the same twice and
secretly mocks me. It’s prone to morph itself flat with a side parting
whenever I approach a female. It is my nemesis.

5. Shaving my
hair to defeat its relentless mocking doesn’t help as once shaved my
face looks like one singular gonad with a grin on it. No one likes to
look like a lone testicle. (fact)

6. I’m always expected to
organise parties, people invite me out last minute then expect me to
tell them where we’re going (it’s nearly always the pub) (I tell a lie,
IT IS always the pub)

7. I can only play the guitar if I make
the song up. Ask me to play a well known song and I’ll blag it by
making up the riff and singing the correct lyrics. Then I’ll tell you
that its from the artists rare live performance probably in Donnington
or Isle of Wight. You will believe me, I’m that convincing.

9.
I’m planning on becoming an evil genius just so I can call my staff
‘Henchmen’ and say things like ‘Kill him, but bring the girl to me…’ or
‘Tie her up in my chamber, I shall attend to her presently’

10.
It annoys me when people at work say things like ‘I couldn’t get up
this morning’ of course they could, otherwise they’d still be in bed.

11. I don’t believe in exercise, if God wanted me to touch my toes, he’d have put them on my knee’s.

12. I’d like to live in a society where pizza doesn’t get to your house quicker than the police.

13.
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm
going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He
said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the
corners very well."


14. When I get real bored, I like to
drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and
count how many people ask me if I'm leaving.


15. I find it amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everyday always just exactly fits the newspaper.

16.
Some people say "If you can't beat them, join them". I say "If you
can't beat them, beat them", because they will be expecting you to join
them, so you will have the element of surprise.


17. When I’m
at a party, I always get stuck talking to the boring guy in the corner
(usually called Norman) I’m yet to find a foolproof escape plan.

18.
I can win an argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know
this, and steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great
respect, they don't even invite me

19. I believe computer dating is fine, if you're a computer

20.
I think Chris De Burgh is Schizo. First he sings (and I quote) ‘I never
seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance, looking for a bit of
romance’ then not 30 seconds later he sings ‘Lady in Red, is dancing
with me, that’s where I wanna be, theres NOBODY HERE just you and me’
make your bloody mind up Chris.


21. I’m one of the only
straight men in the country that can dance without looking like I’m
trying to shake a ferret out of my trouser legs.

22. I think
Kiefer Sutherland should barge into the national TV awards with a gun
and start torturing people with forks and other implements at hand
until he gets an award for being Jack Bauer in 24. Now that would be
good telly.

23. I always read the takeaway menu meticulously before ordering the same thing that I always order.

24. During an evening out, i drink Sambuka like water then spend the next day drinking water like water.

25.
My favourite film is Scarface (although I get funny looks from the odd
female who hasn’t seen the movie when I quote ‘say hello to my little
friend’)

Spiders get no love.

Perhaps
they need a new public relations manager. I would create a wonderful
promotional campaign telling the world just how loveable and cuddly
spiders really are.


Yeah yeah whatever...
I
felt that way until bitten by a spider. My legs swelled to twice their
size. I had nasty red blotches that made people stare and afraid to
approach me. I was paralyzed and virtually unable to walk without
immense pain. When I see a spider now, I do all that I can to crush it.
Go ahead and call PETA or the other animal rights organizations because
I do not care. Spiders must DIE.

That would be the same as wandering around shooting poodles and small puppies just because a rottweiler once bit you. The vast majority of spider species are harmless and most don't even have the ability to bite. It was probably a recluse spider or black widow and even then they'll only bite if they feel endangered.

True...however...

I want the message to get back to the spider colony or whatever it is called. Do not venture anywhere near HER.

I don't think you thought your plan through hun. If you stamp on them, they would be slightly too dead to deliver any messages!
