I used to be afraid to go to bed. I sleep-walked/talked up until senior year of high school. Once in the MOTN on a weekend, I put on my uniform skirt and grabbed my keys and backpack and opened the garage door. My mom heard it and asked what I was doing. I was very insistent that I was late for school. She managed to wake me up and I had no idea what was going on. During college, I started experiencing sleep paralysis (it is fucking horrible). It lasted through college, law school, and after up until just before I got my MFP...hopefully gone for good!
eta: sorry, I guess that's not a "fun fact" but I'm definitely not an interesting person and it's something not many people know about me.
I was a sleep walker too, mostly as a kid. My scariest told story (bc I never remembered it) is when I was trying to leave our hotel room (which waa to the outside). I would have gotten lost and woke up so scared. The funniest thing is that I guess I used to argue with my mom and sister that I was awake and run away from them when they tried to put me back in bed (bc you should never wake a sleep walker). It freaked out DH when we met but I haven't done it for a while....I think.
I used to paint a lot and had my work in a gallery in London when I was 15. I interned at an architect's office at 17 and had my work featured in magazines and ads for the building I was working on.
From past postings, I know at least a handful of you have at least 1 electronics product at home that I worked on.
My sister and I wanted to raise pigs in 4-H growing up. My dad bought a large piece of land with an old house on it. Instead of building a barn, the pigs lived in a room in the house. All the serious farmers made fun of us, but we thought it was pretty cool. MH and I got married in front of the old house (no pigs reside there anymore..lol). Should I post a pic?
I figure around September I'll start fishing for interest in National Novel Writing Month. That's November, if you've never done it before.
I've heard of it, and thought about participating, but knew I'd never be able to write 40k words in a month. I can't even imagine trying to do it while taking care of DD even while home all day.
Maybe I'll feel differently in a few months, but I dunno...
The craziness of 50k words in 30 days is more fun than I'd ever thought it could be. You could do Dragon Age fanfiction! It's only 1667 words a day

Here's a better one... my name "toadandbuggie" comes from the nicknames H and I started for each other when we first started dating. I call him toad, he calls me bug, and our LO is dubbed gila monster. Yup, we're cheesy.

Haha, even pre-baby I would just be proud of myself for getting out 1000 words a day. We shall see...

Oooh like what like what? I find this over proportionately exciting!
Eta: Oops didnt realise there were more pages on the thread and youd answered. Booooo. Tell us!
I totally kid, it's safe. I believe that if I had messed up anywhere at all in my design, someone would have caught it. It's been in flight for years now and no news about problems. I guess I wasn't too rubbisbh at my job.

I also have a hard time coming up with interesting facts about myself. I guess best would be that I have hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. DH and his dad have gone on a bunch of hikes throughout the canyon and my father in law gave up his 'triditional' career job and now works at the bottom of the canyon.
I am also left handed. DS had an IV in his left hand for the first 5 days and it was strapped to a board so I am convinced that because of that he favors his right hand and took away any natural chance he will have to being left handed (irrational though I know).

Another lefty here and another soprano! I also play mallet percussion (xylophone and the like) and some piano.
Our college choir won an international invitational competition against 44 other choirs from 11 different countries--still one of the highest points of my musical career.

I watch the percussionists from where I sit in our concert hall and they are mind blowingly talented. If nothing else just the music reading and counting! We did a Philip Glass piece a few years back an they had this:
15/4 {148mm} then they just had to sit and count while the time signature changed every ten measures. (Cause it's P Glass)
