I was a 2nd daughter. Dresses, fluffy bows and shit...

no wonder you were smoking at such a young age Rman

I had a Shetland pony that use to throw me head first into anything he could. I got several concussions from that little bastard.

I could read sheet music before I could read a book.

My mother is bi-polar, diagnosed less than a year ago

My reading record is 36, 300-400 pg, books in 6 weeks

My reading record for a single book is 998 pgs in 3 days.

*I like to read*

Holy crap, Gaelyn! Read one for me...
JoyD...I wasn't that young...at 11 months old, you're practically old enough to drive...

In my life Rman, I've probably read enough books to have read several for you. LOL!

I wish I was smart...or were smart...or...never mind...

Rman...trust me, there are disadvantages to being the kind of smart I am. I used to get teased by co-workers. I eventually started lying when I got asked a question, and I'd say I wasn't sure, even if I knew the answer.

Eldest of three - so learned very young how to look after everyone!

A true hockey mom, I sport the scars to prove it thanks to an errant puck to the chin!

Did all the girl things growing up, dancing, piano lessons, riding lessons, etc.

Well my life is not as exciting as all of ya'lls, but every school pic of me growing up I always had a cold sore. I was the oldest of 4, so when my dad walked out I had to help raise my siblings. Which wasn't so bad because we are all really close now, except for my bro who is MIA for a year as of next month. I was also a jock in high school, basketball, volleyball and track.

Often when I am walking down a crowded street, I tend to shout, I LIKE BIG BUTTS!!!!

My brothers were 12 years older than me and my sister is 10 years older than me..

Needless to say they all thought it was funny to lock me in the dark attic during thunderstorms..That or lock me in the basement and then run and turn out the lights..

One of my brothers kicked me when I was 11 and I broke my tailbone when I landed on a concrete step..

Back in the day.....
I was in kindergarden when I learned to ride a bike. My brother who is 16 months older than me was sitting on the handle bars. We went around a gravel corner and wiped out. He flew into the neighbors yard, but I took the brunt of the wipe out and landed on my mouth.....knocked out all my front teeth and crushed my palate. This is back in the day when everything was closed on Sundays.......
had to call the local doctor at home and had me rushed to a local oral surgeon. The doctors thought my permanant teeth may have been ruined.....glad to say they are ok *see....smiling!

as a small child, I fell off a dried up waterfall. my dad caught my feet, I banged my head on a rock. I nearly ended up in a swift river below.

I am the middle child, at 10 years old I was almost run over by a tractor.

When I was in 7th grade i had shoulder length hair and not enough testosterone. I finally screwed up the courage to ask and got the cute girl I was crushing on to walk to the soda fountain with me after school (yes, we still had one and no, I'm not THAT old) and the guy that took our order looked at us and asked, "What can I get you girls."
