Lets get to know each other.
Lets let someone in.
Tell a truth about yourself,
And let the bonding begin.

Ill start:
Im shy when i first meet someone.
But im outgoing when i get to know you better.

I live for folklore. Some of my favourite beings are trolls, goblins, and all sorts of other more monstrous faeries (or whatever word one wants to use).

Jeesh EMO, this is a tough one. UH.................

I have a hard time making friends. Every time I was in social situations for some reason being a Paramedic I would be appointed baby sitter or designated driver while every one else had fun. Now I resent people who get to cut loose and have fun. When I do make friends though, they are life long and I would crawl over broken glass in a salt factory in hell on the 4th of July to help them. Totally loyal to a fault.

If i had a license, id drive you everywhere. I dont drink.
But an odd tidbit. My bio dad fed me beer as an infant among other things.
I dont know him to this day.

I have beaten a Grandmaster in chess.

It was a non-timed simultaneous exhibition, 40 boards as I recall, but it was cool just the same.

Scary, I don't know either one of mine also! 
I was a test tube baby. I had a womb with a view!

I was a three month preemie. The docs told my mom that I would be lucky to live past 18. But I am now in my mid-30s and I am still here. 

I don't drink either.
I like being melodramatic. It's fun.

It is a little known fact that the very first test-tube baby was born all covered in mold, and fungus, and bacteria.

Just goes to show you, "spare the rod, spoil the child."

Nope. I draw the line at having a twirly mustache though.

I had my first surgery at age 11 months and was nearly killed in a car wreck on the way home from the hospital, dad hit a cow on the highway at 70mph.

Melodramatic means overeccentric tho... That doesnt sound like a nondrinker. Lol

Wow. I am glad you're alive. What happened to the cow?

Jamie, you're supposed to post something about yourself, silly.

Jessica, if you don't mind me asking, what's a test tube baby?

I am also glad you lived past 18, Laura.

LOL, Emo you crack me up all the time!

It was 1964, it was the limit at the time. But, my dad use to buy a six pack before every long drive and drink the whole way. It was the sixties, not uncommon then. Cows were always on the highway back then in rural America. Not so much now.

It went to cow heaven.

As am I. Especially in the last year or so since I corrected that one friggin annoying medical issue with the panic attacks and all that. NOW, if only I could have Portia Porcupine in a living, breathing form that talks.

Hmmmm.......

I did - the chess post above

The test tube baby (in vitro fertalization) post was a joke in reply to JM.
A test tube baby is made from sperm and an egg mixed outside of the womb, and later implanted in the woman as a zygote.  There is no coitus involved.

5 things...
Drinking before driving is bad
The limit has dropped significantly
Cows must be near extinct then
I cant think of a 5th thing.
