[Waddley]

I've only been pulled over twice- once for speeding, no ticket and second time for having a broken headlight, no ticket.

I drove to San Francisco on two month expired tabs and went through two speed traps on the way down and three on the way back up.

The night of my senior prom I stayed for less than an hour then left early to play D&D with my dude friends.

Edit- I lied, I completely forgot that once I did get a ticket, but since it was my first, it got deferred in court.

The night of my senior prom I stayed for less than an hour then left early to play D&D with my dude friends.

Prom is overrated. I stayed 30 minutes at mine. It sucked. You get +5 Awesome for going and playing D&D, though. I just went to an equally lame party with my then boyfriend.

Let's see here...some of mine...

I met my husband over the internet. We've actually known each other since high school. We met playing Heretic 2.

I scored borderline genius on a test I took in elementary school, despite making average grades throughout my schooling.

I never finished college, and I kick myself over every day I'm not in school.

I've been in 2 accidents, both of which were not my fault and I've had one speeding ticket that I got on my 18th birthday.

[Cheval]

Hmmm... let's see.

Ran track in middle school (Mile run, 220 sprints, and threw shot-put)
Played football (briefly) in high school
Studied Praying Mantis Kung-fu, Wing-chung, and Monkey Kung-fu
Was a baker in a steakhouse restaraunt for 3 years
Afraid of heights, but love roller-coasters (go figure )
Was a Boy Scout
Owned a 40 gallon fish tank
Lived in a haunted house

I have a scar on my forehead from when I was about 8 years old. My older brother and I were in the kitchen and he offered me a couple of cookies. I snagged about 7 or 8 of them and ran laughing my head off. My brother gave chase. While running at full speed (and not paying attention to where I was going) I ran headlong into the sharp edge of the corner of a nearby wall. I just bounced off and was up in a second ready to run again when my brother shouted that I was bleeding. Only when I saw the blood gushing down my face did I finally begin to cry. I ended up with about 20 stitches.

VERY simular to me:
small scar on forehead from chasing/running and fell against the edge of a pool table when I was 8 years old.
Even had the same reaction too!
(Only had 7 stitches)

[Despiser Dave]

My legal name actually is "Despiser Dave".

I play the ukulele.

[High Lord Tolkien]

Standing at the edge of a dock, in your underwear, trying to kill small fish in a pond using broken up crackers and a b-b pistol while being hung over at 6 in the morning is NOT the way to catch fish.
Changing the pistol for a whiffle ball bat 1/2 hour later is much more effective though....
Or so I vaguely remember....

[danlo]

Damm! Was that Martin Sheen's vision in Apocalypse Now or Charlie Sheen's in Platoon?...Hunter S. Thompson, more likely...

[Holsety]

Huh? How do you make casey at the bat a play? There aren't even any lines I can remember? (besides "strike one" etc).

Fish? On first? Casey was hitting with...someone on second and Flyn on third. Bases were NOT loaded.

EDIT-But ACK not to accuse your performance I am just confused

[aTOMiC]

When I was about 9 years old I was playing in the front yard of my home with a friend of mine. He had a brand new fishing pole, which thankfully only had a large lead sinker tied to the end. At one point he was carelessly swinging the sinker around in a circle above his head as fast as he could with the sinker on the end of about 15 feet of line. When I wasn't looking the sinker hit me in the side of the head just above my left ear. I remember falling to the ground and then blacking out for a moment. I gather it felt like being shot in the head with a small caliber handgun. I needed about 10 stitches and had a concussion.

[Cail]

I've been dead.


But I got better.

[dANdeLION]

Me, my dad, and my oldest son are all left-handed, all are the first-born son, and all our siblings are right-handed.

When I was 5, I was attacked and hospitalized by my own dog.

I've been hit by a car while riding my 10-speed twice.

My junior year of high school I won Vocabulary Champion for Southwest Missouri.
I never finished a Tolkien novel until 2001, two weeks before Fellowship of the Ring was released in the theater.
I have double jointed toes.

[Cagliostro]

Damm! Was that Martin Sheen's vision in Apocalypse Now or Charlie Sheen's in Platoon?...Hunter S. Thompson, more likely...

Sorry, you lost me.

Reading The Curse of Lono by Hunter S. Thompson might give you a good idea.

[DukkhaWaynhim]

Has anyone else noticed that all of aTOMics stories involve head trauma?

I attended a Catholic elementary school, which meant a lot of morning masses. Whenever incense was used as part of services and I had to kneel, I was almost certain to pass out... must have happened a dozen times. There's nothing like waking up surrounded by a cluster (cloister?) of habited nuns. To this day, no one can explain why I fainted from incense, and it doesn't happen any more.

I am the original author of the Horror Movie Character Survival Guide, posted on Usenet so long ago.

Though I can eat it, I have a disliking for almost every fruit (tomatoes exempted). However, I am a big fan of most vegetables.

Frequently as a child, and through high school, college, and even occasionally in my 'grown-up adult' life, I have caught myself daydreaming about having comic book or D&D-type magical abilities, in a Walter Mitty kind of way. It's usually a fleeting wish, but there are times when I indulge it to the point where I wonder if I am on the road to becoming schizophrenic. Because of this, I tend to avoid achieving 'altered states'.

I invented Post-Its.

[JazFusion]

I can't whistle.

I was born with four crooked fingers and toes.

My parents thought I was autistic because I didn't start talking until I was 3 years old.

The first piano piece I ever played was the first movement of The Moonlight Sonata. I was 13.

I eat everything that is made with tomatoes, but I hate eating them raw.
