Awesome intro, and random is always good :)
Hi, my name is Ami and here are my five things. They may all sound like flaws and/or weird things but we all have stuff that makes us unique to ourselves: 1. I'm pigeoned-toed
2. I have strabismus of the left eye. I used to have it in both eyes but had corrective surgery as a toddler for my right eye. (Strabismus is the medical term for a "wandering eye". Not a "Lazy Eye" or amblyopia, mind you, as amblyopia aka "Lazy Eye" is when your vision cannot be corrected with either surgery or corrective lenses, and since my glasses make me see better I don't have a amblyopia or "Lazy Eye". My eye wanders especially when I'm tired, therefor I have "Strabismus" of the eye).
2. I can wiggle my ears and my niece and nephews find this hilarious. Lol!
3. I used to be scared of escalators!
4. I have a sacral dimple. (They used to be rare but I've noticed a lot of people online talking about either being born with one like me or having a baby born with one.)
5. I have no birthmark. Unless you want to count my sacral dimple! Lol!
Thanks for reading! :)

1 - I'm obsessed with reading, movies (finding actors from one movie to another), Sims 3, rain, the 90s (especially tv/movies), and paranormal in general not just books (especially ghosts).
2 - I just moved to Arizona from New York.
3 - I love taking pictures of people and want to do photography more seriously (not as a career though).
4 - I was (and plan to finish) taking Psychology in College and I want to specialize in Anxiety, Depression and Attachment (to work in the Hoarders field) and I also want to do the cleaning aspect, because I have organizational OCD.
5 - I wish I was born in the 50s, wearing pencil skirts and high heels while being a 'susie homemaker' wife while baking pies from scratch and shit :)

One of the best intros yet, thanks for sharing Jessie :)
1. For a living, I write scripts for documentaries (mainly anthropological or ethological. I do this under my own name - and don't ask! 2. I have created the pseudonym (Hamilton Hill) to start penning a series of YA stories.
3. I've traveled to 437 cities in 51 countries. My characters will meet the demons, created by ancient folklore in many of these countries. I intend to take my readers to factual places with scenes, that while true, are stranger than fiction, and for interest sake peppered it with a large dose of fantasy.
4. I’m going down this road at the insistence of my granddaughter who wants to be a “boss of a book” and is my most ardent nag. The importance of putting the bedtime stories I share with her on paper has become her mission. (TG she’s far too young to be my editor and can’t get in touch with my agent.)
5. Being my first shot at YA, I’d kill for some beta-readers. Good test-drive dummies are hard to find and if you are one, please friend me on Goodreads or facebook (http://www.facebook.com/?sk=welcome#!... )
My Facebook page has photo’s of the places my first YA project is based on. Friends will have access to (non-public) studio artwork and storylines as the project progresses to publication.
Angel; I'm always asking my mum for something strange hehe, I asked for a tiger a few months ago so she got me an adoption pack:)
