*sorry to interupt the question*
Hmm..... let's see. - like bookaddict i was born premature: 3 months and one week. I weighed just one pound, and my clothes went onto dolls afterwards. I am told my hand was the size of my dad's thumb fingernail and there is a photo of me measured against a pen. - as a little kid, i played with pegs (as in, what you hang clothes with). I made sexes, families and communities for them based on color and type! It was fun (i was easily amused so long as i could imagine something up) - i'm a chocoholic (no, really. I eat it every day. It's bad!) - if on the ball, i can list the Best Picture Academy Award winners from 1928-present day (film buff) - I write poetry. How original! - i was going to be called Lauren but mum and dad tossed a coin and dad won (he did for my sister too!) - i'm a serious nuerotic and worrywart. I used to be prone to intense hypochondria, thinking i was going to die from some illness of another. I DO have several chronic illnesses though. - i'm an alto (lowest female singing voice) and took dancing, singing and acting classes all through child and teenhood. - for some reason even i don't understand, i used to have a habit of scratching the eyes out of people's faces in magazines and books - many a Women's Weekly was ruined coz of me! - i have had SERIOUS long-whinded obsessions with the 2003 film version of Peter Pan, the 2004 film version of Phantom of the Opera, the musicals Wicked and The Light in the Piazza, the film Labyrinth (woohoo Bowie, eh Dom?!) and tv show (recent series 2005/6) of Doctor Who

when i was little, i wanted be a detective/sleuth or to work in an hotel (i love hotels)... later, i wanted to work in the language/travel business (hotel, travel agency, airport (i love airports)) for quite a while, and after a short period of wanting to pursue a career in forensic medicine, i decided studying medicine is no good for me, so i went for biology, with the current dream of being able to go into forensic biology, which would basically be my childhood dream (only more scientific)...

I draw spirals all around on my papers. It's hard to explain, and I don't have a picture of what they look like to post on the thread or anything. They just overlap each other and stuff. Maybe I will take a picture of one I've done and just post it in the cool pics thread.

I just remembered I hadn't said this interesting fact: I hate not being able to see where I'm walking. In the dark, even if I know there's nothing in my way, I still hate not being able to see the nothing lol And when I walk up the stairs, even though I know there are 11 (at my house) and I always end up counting them when I go up them I still hate holding lots of stuff and not being able to see where the stairs end. I'm just weird like that I suppose

I couldn't paint my nails for so long because I was working in hospitality, but now that I'm not I always forget anyway. I hate it how nail polish can start chipping off like the day you put it on.

Fun facts:
-I was born 1 month premature and was all yellow because of jaundice. -when I was around 11-12 years old, I went to the library every Saturday and got 10-12 new books to read and I was almost always finished around Wednesday the same week. -I've never broken a bone, but i had to get two stitches behind my ear when I was two years old, I danced on a chair and fell of. I was so scared and two nurses, the doctor and my mom had to hold me still while my dad stitched me up (he's a doctor)

Oh, I thought of a fun fact
- when I'm really really mad, I start to cry - I can't call someone names...cos I never know what to call them - I'm extremely shy, and hate myself for it - I can't really talk about nothing with someone.. I need something n common with a person to be able to just chat.. (in real life..)

the current status thread made me realize that a lot of the drinks i drink are mixed. i rarely ever drink anything "pure", exept water. also, i hate opening tetrapacks and i wear my watch on my right arm, even though i'm right handed, which appearantly is weird.
