What is something we don't know about you?

I'm a very disorganized(messy!!) person. My little desk where I eat, draw, use the internet, and every thing else I ever do always has junk spread all around the floor and desk;; (notebooks, empty water bottles, art supplies, paper woowee)

Last year I completed NaNoWriMo (a writing challenge to write 50,000 words in November)... by writing 50,000 words in 7 days. Go me go!

I wrote a romantic short story with a sci - fi twist 11,055 words, 4 chapters.

A Knights Tale... (of another sort) - Romance Novel - Story, Short, Kiss - Booksie

I decided to go back to school to pursue a degree in Nursing I'm almost done with my pre-reqs, I'm 3 classes away from being able to apply to the local University! Taking all 3 classes spring semester and then applying next Fall. Wish me luck!

I have at least 30 books about dogs (not including the fiction ones!), three about rodents, at least 5 about Psychology, two about nutrition, two about global warming, one about medicine... Er. I like collecting information. So, I could keep going. People tend to know I like knowledge, most don't know how many nonfiction books I actually have. I, also, like to save old text books.

On top of my nonfiction books, I have a collection of books so vast that I literally have no room for them in my house anymore. My room is overfilled with books of all sorts.

That is super cool! I wish I had the guts (and the means) to travel.

i like spiders. yeah.. you heard right. "like", spiders

I collect antique and vintage dictionaries and still can't spell.

Antiques are fun, plus you can't trust old-time spelling

I'm a recluse. My dogs keep me company. I wouldn't have it any other way.

All kinds of spiders?

I've been coast to coast in Canada and the USA by car.

there are only a handful of states in the northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii that I haven't at least visited. as for foreign local? been to Canada, Mexico, and the island of St Martin/St. Marteen

The longest Job I've ever had (4 years and still counting) is working as an accountant at my bipolar dad's firm.

I'm a marathoner. I love to run!

I am a 6 foot tall woman. I have a hard time finding pants that are long enough.

I'm 5'3.5"... want the extra inches from my pants? They're always too long for me!

I learned to knit the rufflely/sashay scarves over the Christmas break. It was the first time I ever knit anything. I made my own scarf across two days. Then just spent all day this weekend and made my EA at work a scarf as well and surprised her with it yesterday. I'm a marathoner when it comes to a hobby!

I currently have blue hair...plans are in the works to make it purple soon

I love the show CHARMED. I watch it almost every day. I have some of the books and novels. Oh and maybe a few photos from ebay.

I'm really tall too and I have to special order my pants because most stores do not carry extra long size pants. I buy my pants at AE online when they go on sale because they sell really long sized pants and they fit well too.

i didn't speak to anyone except my family until I was 4. I was so terribly shy and scared of people that I once pooped my pants at a new daycare while watching the other kids laugh & play on the merry go round. I also used to wet the bed until I was 8.

Good news is I am still an introvert but learned how to be social & even speak in front of groups & enjoy theater & acting. I had a solo once in the school play.

AND I want blue hair!

Great thread! I love learning this stuff about you all!

Hmm, where to start?…
Language. Love it. Studied 6 languages (English --of course--, Russian, Spanish, French and with some Hebrew and Latin thrown in for good measure.) Alas, have probably forgotten more than I ever learned.
Related: I adore Stephen Fry.
Top secret: I transliterate things I don't want anyone reading into Russian. (ie., English words written in Cyrillic alphabet.) Bonus points for irony, because, if it is extensive, I get lost and don't know what I'm talking about either(!) (Works for writing down gift ideas though…)

I might be moving to Abu Dhabi for a year!!! Tax Free

I collect Pyrex refrigerator dishes. Only the 1.5 quart ones. I have about 20. There's still a couple colors I don't have. I'm always looking for a black one. My grandma gave us one a long time ago and we've always used them as butter dishes. Luckily, they're only $10-15 each, so it's not a huge amount of money.

Also, I danced for 20 years. I started when I was 3 1/2. I've done a lot of dance styles. Tap, ballet, pointe, jazz, new age (which was weird), acrobatics, clogging, and Irish dance. I love tap, clogging, and mostly Irish dance. I want to start dancing again, but I need to lose weight, and get my back better.

While working at a shoe store for almost 2 years I developed a pretty large shoe collection. I own 30+ pair of basketball shoes. Some of the shoes are identical except in color.
I also have a decent bookshelf full of everything from classics to sci-fi to commentaries. One book I found on Jeanne D'Arc written in 1936 that took forever to read since about 1/5 is in French which I do not speak. Super fun to read though since she is one of my favorite historical figures.
