1) My mother was a nun.

2) I studied to become a carpenter, but changed my mind when I realized I had an irrational fear of circular saws and heights.

3) When I was 5 I wanted to become a pilot after seeing the cockpit of a Boeing 747... mind you what 5 year old doesn't want to push coloured buttons for a living?

PS... Magic, I also hate wearing shoes.

Danced on the billards table of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron

Can mirror read (the ability to read text that is flipped left-to-right) well enough that I have to stop and think about the orientation of the text when faced with a glass door that says push or pull.

Study Hula

PS. I hate wearing shoes....but after many years in pointe shoes I tend to keep the feet under wraps so as not to frighten anyone.

[TBean]

I don't like raw tomatoes

As long as heavy machinery is not required, I can do most of the plumbing repairs in a house.

I make a great Dutch Baby with Clementine Sauce - also with pears.

1. I was voted Miss Personality by my 8th grade field hockey team for my "ability to say things like 'Good game, considering you cheated' to the opposing team". Seriously, it was written on the award.

2. I was voted Most Intelligent by my high school graduating class. Fat lot of good THAT did me.

3. Despite one tattoo, 3 ear piercings, and several failed attempts at giving blood, I fainted at the sight of needles until most of the way through my first pregnancy.

[magic_moose]

1. I love vegetables

2. I never get to bed on time.

3. I use "just a touch of superglue" at the edge to keep my epee points in place

[Fencergrl]

1) I have always been rather gullible. I tend to believe that people don't lie. As a kid it was inconceivable that anyone would utter anything but the truth. My younger sister was young enough to still be sucking her thumb. She told me one thumb was chocolate flavoured and the other was strawberry.... I believed her. Yup... it was that bad.

2) Being raised Catholic with a former nun for a mother, a priest for a cousin etc.... tainted my youth. Before playing house, I matched up all the boys and girls, then performed marriage ceremonies (they were very touching ceremonies I might add complete with flowers from the neighbourhood gardens).

3) My second favourite game was smash-up derby, where we did head on collisions on trikes, bikes etc...

[fatfencer]

1) My gal is building me a life-size Emperor's Chair, a la StarWars (She already made me a Palpatine Robe).

2) I'm into alternative homebuilding ala Lloyd Kahn and Rob Roy and permaculture.

3) I build guitars, electrics

PS: Fencergrl, the whole mother was a nun thing and the head trauma you sustained crashing into other kids... I should be nicer to you. I feel so guilty now.

[Lady Quindecim]

I like cooking with Dad.

I cook with Mom in the interests of edibility.

I like cooking more than I like eating.

[parrythis]

I have done three presentations at Oracle User Conferences.

The first car that I bought with my own money was a 1971 Camaro. I bought it new.

(Nerd Alert!!!) Back in the '70s, I built an COSMAC ELF II kit computer and wrote my own I/O handler, editor, and assembler for it in hexidecimal machine language. I also programmed it to run Conway's Game of Life, also in hexidecimal machine language.

[Fencergrl]

PS: Fencergrl, the whole mother was a nun thing

No worries, she got chucked out long before she had me.

1) I taught a dog to say "hello"

2) A cat to fetch.

[dharmaqueen]

You crack me up Fencergrl!!

1. I have felt a beating heart...within someone elses chest!
