That's a good one!
Five things, okay,1) I am obsessed with musical theatre, esspecially the great god of it, Stephen Sondheim
2) I was deadly allergic from the time I was five until last year.
3) I can't say the word "tired" without a southern accent without conciously trying - and I'm not from the south and have never even been!
4)I have synesthesia. I am an auditory and lexical associator (look it up, it's interesting)
5) I just started a group for those of us with crushes on fictional characters! Come check it out *shameless plug*
1) i am a clutz and i actually have better ballance in heels 2)i am a ballroom dancer and have never fallen over while i was dancing (major acheivement)
3)I am a animal science student with the dream of one day becoming a zoo vet
4)my sweet tooth is massive
5)i have more books than i can fit on my bookshelf
1. I'm addicted to anything that excites me. It can take a day at most.2. I think I was born in 1990 by mistake when I actually had to be born in the 50s. Youth in the 70s sounds super fun! (Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin... I'm just saying.)
3. I'm a perfectionist about three things: my art, my job and my coffee.
4. I maintain that I have mild Bipolar Disorder, though many psychologists would say that it's only a low self esteem.
5. I don't want a hug even when I need it. But a smile is always nice :)
Welcome Raye ... WOW - Is the auditory chromesthesia (auditory fireworks?) or something else? Where is your group for fictional crushers?
Welcome Panda! I used to have the same problem as you mentioned in #5, but I found a solution. More bookshelves. :)

I have a kitchen. There are shelves and cabinets there without dishes, just books. Sometimes we just have to repurpose, or think out of the box [bookboxes]! I think that the greatest invention was the ebook reader - because I can have more books than I would otherwise have room for.
Hi everyone!1. I've been married almost seventeen years now.
2. I'm a stay at home mom to my three kiddos, 16, 12, and 4.

Hey, fellow Canadians. I was born in Alberta, and have family roots in Ontario, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia. I'm going back up to visit family this summer. I can hardly wait.

Cool! Ive lived in Newfoundland, and Manitoba, I have family in Alberta been there too three times. At the moment I am back in the Netherlands, but loved to go back to Canada again sometime in the future. I always see Canada as my second home.
I just found this group and it's great to be amongst like minds :)1. I read my first reader to my prep teacher (and the other teachers she had me perform to) when I was 4 and haven't had a day in life since where I wasn't reading.
2. I'm a teacher of English and Linguistics (15-18 y.o's)
3. I have a serious addiction to bookdepository.com. I may need an intervention.
4. Two of my favourite books are To Kill a Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451 but I adore YA fiction.
5. If I start a new book at night, I'm still awake finishing it at 2 or 3 am, which makes getting up for work tricky :)

lol you mean number 5 doesn't apply to everyone?
I didn't want to make any assumptions Panda ;-) when I was a kid my dad would find me fast asleep with a book over my face and my light still on. A flat mate found me the same way when I was in my late twenties, so I guess things don't change, except now days I have to turn my own light off when I wake at 4 in the morning.
Niamh225 wrote: "I didn't want to make any assumptions Panda ;-) when I was a kid my dad would find me fast asleep with a book over my face and my light still on. A flat mate found me the same way when I was in my ..."ahh and that is my problem if I am reading I can't fall asleep. Have more than once finished a book at 4:00 and realised I need to wake up in 2 hours so sleep is pointless... so I just grab the next one. although as a kid my dad would often come in after midnight to tell me my light was meant to be off.
1. I read Fahrenheit 451 in both English and French2. I can write backwards and wiggle my ears.
3. As a kid, I loved Landmark biographies.
4. My favorite was Life of Saint Patrick.

6. I am a book junky
7. Sometimes I have a problem with rules.

Number 3 haha! That's not such a bad thing :)
Its true David! I have more than Ill ever be able to read! Its just too easy to click "download now" hahaha
Susan wrote: "Its true David! I have more than Ill ever be able to read! Its just too easy to click "download now" hahaha"lol at least they don't take up much space...
Amen!! Before we moved I donated over one thousand REAL books!
lol yeah i have a problem buying the real thing but since christmas 135 of would be bought books became ebooks (...only a few of them became the real thing)
I too am a hoarder, of both ebooks and real. I have downloaded lots of free ebooks and have read only a few of them. My fiction library stands at somewhere over 900 and my non-fiction is another few hundred. I was thinking just the other day what I would put into storage and what I would get rid of if I took off overseas for a while, and it was my books that would be saved. Everything else is replaceable, but I've had some of my books for 25 years or more. Not to mention my childhood books still at my parents' house. There are far worse addictions to have.

3. Some of my books I've read 3 times, few even 6 or 8.
4. If I see snakes in TV I have to put my legs up, off the floor!
