I am a former professional singer

I am an only child

I was legally blind without corrective lenses too (just like SpongeScott) before I had lasik surgery last May. Best money I've ever spent.

My middle name is Lea which almost everyone mispronounces (sounds like Lee). Laurie Lea.. makes me sound like a 3 year old with pigtails doesn't it?

Love the Harry Potter books

NASCAR fan

I have 4 children .. but they're all 4-footed and have tails

Got engaged to my husband at age 19.

11th great-grandfather was one of the two babies born on the Mayflower.

Trophy Husband
I nearly died when I was in high school hanging off a bridge that was 200 feet above some railroad tracks. (A friend was making a film and thought it would be "cool", but after a while my arms got tired and I almost couldn't pull myself up).

I nearly died when I was in high school and wrecked my motorcycle (an ambulance showed up when I was calling my father and told me they heard some kid had been killed on a motorcycle).

I once had a fairly lengthy conversation with Dean Kamen.

I was nearly driven completely crazy last summer by a barn-swallow.

I used to introduce myself to people in bars as "Dirk Studly" or "Rock Savage" - "Gay star."

I met Shaquille O'neil and Kobe Bryant in a San Antonio hotel lobby.

On (what I think was the same San Antonio trip) I had an opportunity to meet (then Governor) George W. Bush, but I had eaten at a (very good) restaurant with questionable cleanliness practices and spent the evening in my room with horrible diarrhea.

I can play the bass-line for the Who's "The Real Me"

I wake up every morning to an incredibly annoying sing-song wake-up message from Minnie and Mickey Mouse.

I ran for Student Body President of Penn State under the pseudonym Gary Rainbow in a grass-roots campaign that featured flyers of me reclining on my bed wearing nothing but my underpants

I nearly flattened Regis Philbin when trying to escape the Magic Kingdom prior to a parade filming.

Last night I found out that the electrical cord powering our giant, inflatable spider had been completely gnawed through by an animal of some sort.

I once had a knife pulled on me at a mining camp accessible only by dirt road or private plane in the extreme outback of Western Australia.

I introduced myself to Gene Kranz when I recognized him in an Orlando (convention area) hotel lobby and he then introduced me to Fred Haise who was with him.

I once made a friend throw up by eating a brownie that had been formed into the shape of a turd.

When I arrived at the Orlando airport for a business trip, I ran into my brother (who lives in Pittsburgh) on his way back from a trip to Disney World that I didn't know he was taking.

I was nearly kicked out of Penn State for selling men's bodies to women.

A Ferrari engineer (who also did work for a customer of mine) took me to the Ferrari factory (but it was too late in the evening to get out on the track).

One of the most amazing things I've ever seen was when a friend of mine was leaning back in a chair with his feet on a desk with a beer in his hand. He tipped back and landed hard on his back, but never spilled a drop of beer.

Indian Larry, the guys from American Chopper, Jesse James and many other chopper designers were staying in the same Marriot as me in New Orleans a little while back, and I kept bumping into different ones at different times.

I'm not particularly pretty or hairy.

The scary thing is I could keep going and going. I didn't even mention the old-toenails-in-the-coke story.

And remember the stories from Dan Doppledingers basement?
(please tell me you remember. From the Huggle Thread. Someone's basement...you're lucky you came out alive...don't leave me hanging here...) :lookaroun

Add me to the list of those who can't sleep without a fan. I have a ceiling fan, but sometimes it tends to make constant humming and/or clicking noises, so I have to turn it off and deal with the silence (or let my parents' snoring lull me to sleep).

I have a fear of spiders.

I have 4 cats.

My middle name is Renee.

My dad claims he wanted to name me Arwen (from LotR) when I was born...it's too bad he didn't.

I have a bit of Cherokee in me

I'm of Scottish ancestry and have ties to Mary Queen of Scots (extremely distant, of course).

Speaking of Scotland...I have an 80 year old Scottish friend who I met at college (her children persuaded her to audit some art classes)

And speaking of college, I currently hate the college I'm going to (Brescia University), have joined a movement to remove the 'teaching' duties of an art 'instructor', and am dying to transfer to Murray State University.

My dad and I greatly enjoy carving pumpkins (my current avatar is an example of one of many that I've done).

Halloween is probably my favorite holiday.

I love old cars.

Obsessions currently include Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter (especially Sirius Black), The Sims (especially The Sims 2), Gary Oldman, Elijah Wood, Johnny Depp, Chris Cornell and Audioslave.

I love all things piratical and all things dealing with ancient Egypt.

The Beatles are the best band ever!

I get cold easily.

I work at a candy store.

I wear flannel shirts as light-weight jackets. One teacher in high school used to call me "flannel" because I wore them so often. I just like the feel of flannel.

Concerts I've attended include Rockapella (twice...I met them after my 2nd concert), American Idol 3 (my most recent one), and Howard Shore (composer of the LotR music) conducting the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

I went to Opryland once before it was torn down. My memories of the place are rather hazy. The mall that replaced it is pretty cool, though. They have an IMAX there at which I saw Return of the King twice.

I'm a 3 year charter member of the Lord of the Rings fan club. So mine and my dad's names (dad paid for the membership, so I registered us together) are on all three extended edition DVDs.

I should probably be studying right now.

EDIT...I forgot one...I'm addicted to chocolate covered coffee beans and S'mores...but not together.

EDIT Again...I swear this is the last one...possible career choices have ranged from horticulture to culinary arts to archaeology (plus countless more)...my mom discouraged me from all of the above, so now I'm completely out of ideas.

Thought of another one...

The only reason I went on a first date with my now hubby is because he ad tickets to a sold out concert I wanted to go to...Carly Simon & James Taylor.

I'm pretty sure none of you know me so anything I share will be news to you I guess :D

- I had my 2nd child the day before my own birthday
- I am funny as hell in person
- I've never met anyone famous, face-to-face but I've seen Bruce Springsteen at my job and went to a Gloria Estefan party in South Beach and yes, I am taller than she is *pops collar* - wait if you count the IHOP guy, then yes I have met someone famous...
- I love sour apple flavored ANYTHING and just discovered Jones sodas today :D
- I don't like red meat, but sometimes I crave it :zipit:
- I love anything pirate-like and was halfway tempted to steal a set of chairs from work because of that...figured they'd notice if I did though

- I was once "internet popular", kinda like a cyber rock star but I didn't get paid and didn't get my own clothing line either. I've since retired.
- I could never be on Fear Factor because of test #2 - eating vile and smelly things dead or alive. *gags*
