Fun idea! I may have mentioned a few of these facts before, but I'll try to do some new ones.
-I was in drumline in high school. -Whenever I eat mashed potatoes I can't stop and I eat them until I have to lay on the floor and moan. -My brother is 6 years old and he is the cutest thing in the whole world. I got my driver's license on the day he was born. -When I was a senior in high school I fell off a tube sledding and flew through the air and smacked my head on the ice of a frozen over lake and needed 17 staples in my head. -I love more media than I can possibly consume, even if it was my full time job. Podcasts, Magazines, TV on DVD, movies, and of course, books. -I love calendars. I always get at least 10 every year. -I hate moths.

I have never broken a bone I have had stitches when I was tadpoling with a glass jar, I fell, it broke into my hand. I hate the feel of cement under my feet and will avoid walking on cement without shoes at all costs. I've never been out of Australia I've had pneumonia once but it was in senior year so I kept going to school and my doctor lied on my doctor's certificate so as not to make the teachers nervous (pneumonia isn't contagious anyway) My family has a pet chicken named speckle. It's about 9 years old and there's not a speckle on it's body, it's entirely orange.

I've never broken a bone or needed stitches either (knock on wood). I like even numbers. I eat everything two at a time (although multiples of 4 are my favorite). I have a stuffed animal named Boom-Boom that I still sleep with despite being married. I had a cat named Oliver once but then he had kittens. I am obsessed with ice cream - I eat it every day. I won't eat blue candy. I won't step on cracks in the sidewalk or anything that I think can fall (like sewer grates).

let's see... - I was 6 months old the first time I took the plane (and now I hate flying) - I've always loved to travel - I went to Walt Disney World when I was 3 years old and when I saw my house for the first time after 3 weeks I started crying because I didn't want the trip to be over - I've had pneumonia twice, been hospitalised twice, had stitches twice, but only broke one bone (my toe) - I so do not look like my dad that when we're alone together people stare at us and seem to think that he's my sugar-daddy - I'm 3 years older than my husband (he sure thinks it's funny ) - A few months before I was born the doctor told my mom she would have her c-section on August 24 but at the last minute they changed it to August 23. To this day when people ask her what my birthday is she still says August 24. That's all I can think of for now!

Nice idea bookaddict!
I have never broken a bone but I have weak joints, I had some little problems with my ankles I was born with dislocation of hip, I was treated and I got fine in 6 months I lost my first tooth at 5 because a friend of my brother accidentaly hit me with a ball while they were playing I like even numbers I love chocolate I never needed stiches (beside when I had a wisdom tooth pulled out) I'm scared by feeling empty space under my feet Portugal is the farest place from my home I've ever been, so I've never been out of Europe I have few closer friends who are really important to me, I would feel lost without them
That's all I think of for now.

Let's see... -I once was given too little drugs during an operation, so I was awake and felt it the whole time. (They removed some nails from my damaged ancle...PAIN) - I'm scared of flying even though I'm an experienced traveller, once I even started hyperventilating when I got on the plane - I hate going to dentists and doctors - I'm writing a movie script - I will let anyone who wants cut my hair, I really don't care too much - I can lie awake worrying about being tortured for my faith...guess that's not a fun fact, but at least it's a weird fact!

Most of these facts knows nobody about me:
- I can never sleep in: when I go to bed, I'm still awake for a couple of hours. - A friend of mine, who called me last year my 'best friend' is actually the stupidest kid I've ever met. - If I had the money, I would go and do a year high school in America (I live in Europe). - I really want to go to YALE University. - I have 2 fake cogs because I 'lost' my real ones when I fell 5 years ago. - I have allways believed that I'm going to be a bookwriter (but I've never written one). - I am worrying about everything. - I'm really a bookworm but none of my friends knows that. - I love watching movies over and over again (especially MEAN GIRLS). - Drew Barrymore used to be my rolemodel.

I forgot to mention that I absolutely love end titles of movies, one of the few things I have in common with my brother, at home we use to watch them more than once if we couldn't read something. I hate tv because they always cut end titles!

I like odd numbers more than even. I'm terrified of getting cancer. I almost twisted my ankle earlier (I'm usually not clumsy, but if I am it hurts).
