that is AWESOME!!! Orion is my favorite constellation, I'd love to have freckles in that pattern!

I have what looks like a freckle on my right index finger, on the palm side of the hand. It's actually from a blister I got way under the skin by pinching my finger in one of the rings on a 3-ring binder. The blister popped, and a freckle looking shape appeared(my guess is its dried blood).
I've had it for about 4 years now... sometimes I wonder if it'll ever disappear...

I have a few of those, I do have a genuine freckle on my palm directly below my pinkie - I don't know if it's because of my freckles, or if it's coincidence, but it's my favorite constellation as well.

My brother, my son, and I all have three freckles on our body in a perfect triangle somewhere, the bottom one slightly wider so it looks like a smiley face. Mine's on my left forearm, my son's is on his leg, but my brother's is right under his left eye, so he looks like a latino gangbanger.

I am mildly allergic to corn cobs.
I am a brown belt in Judo.
I am deathly afraid of ants, heights, depths, losing my teeth, choking, being in tunnels or on bridges or in elevators, etc.
I am learning how to properly use a lightsaber.
Until last September, I hated Star Wars. Now I'm obsessed with it.
I am double-jointed in my elbows and very flexible in the shoulders, making arm locks quite pleasant.
I am extremely annoying, even to myself.

i just looked at my arm and saw a triangle, a rhombus and a trapezoid.

I have enough freckles on my arms to illustrate an entire geometry textbook.

i have a mole on my nose. my aunt tried to wash it off once. she thought it was dirt.

I played drums in a band that played at the Skydome in Toronto.













Although, it was my high school concert band....









and we played for a national BINGO tounrnament.

My football team went to play for a high school event called the Emerald City Kickoff. It was in the Seahawk stadium, and was broadcast ed by our local TV stations. After warm ups, the team was jogging back into the locker room, and on the way in the tips of my cleats caught in the Astroturf, and I fell flat on my face.

When I got up, I realized that the entire fall was being watched by a cameraman.

Embarrassing, much?

My ex-wife is now a lesbian. (maybe she always was?)

I've poo'd in a Paris shopping centre (on the floor - it was an accident )

My favourite alcoholic drink is single malt whisky.

Favourite soft drink is Fanta grape (unfortunately not available here in Scotland).

I've written off two cars in my life (one 3 weeks after passing my driving test )

I was invited to join the Freemasons a couple of months ago.

Haven't yet decided if I will take up the offer.

All my uncles were freemasons, a couple of them were Grand Worshipful Masters - I never felt the pull to join, even after much persuasion from them. My mum was in the female version (Eastern Star).

Apparently it's a great cameraderie, and usefull for contacts in business. The only downside is, it's not very forthcoming with information before you join up.

i am in the KoC

my grandfather (on my dad's side) was a freemason

I was given a couple of books to read up on.

The wife's carreer is up in the air right now...when that get sorted out, if I find out I have any free time, I'll probebly give it a go.

Am I right in thinking that the KoC are the Catholic equivalent of the freemasons?

It appears to be.

yes.

i have read for mass once. James 5: 1-5

my brother and i once dug the hole and installed the new donated awesome handmade wooden cross in our church garden. it's still there.

i once got a standing ovation twice in the same night.

(the only thing cooler than the standing o's was my boyfriend coming up to me after the show (when i hadn't even thought he'd be present) and telling me i was incredible. )




my maternal grandfather died on Jan. 1, 1964 in his driveway. he'd been getting ready to get in his big red and black crystler to drive to my house to pick me up. the sound my mother made when she had the news her father was dead was the most frightening sound of dispair i've ever heard a human being make.

we bought a tree from the church. they planted it along the road. i need to get a pic of it.
