Heres a few things about me:

1) I was on the front page of newspapers back home when I was born and billed as 'a child of hope' after what happened to my family during the troubles in northern ireland.

2) I smashed into a brick wall faced first when I was six after going over the handle bars on my bike, I got 36 stitches in my face.

3) I only have 20% hearing in my right ear

4) I hate people who stand to my right and speak very quietly.

5) At U'18 level I represented Ulster at rugby and was going up the ranks before I sustained a degenerative disc in my spine and can no longer play.

6) If I was a horse I'd be put down.

7) My mum told me once that I should live each day like its my last but had to tell me to forget what she said, because I kept crying and telling her that I didn't want to die so young.

8) I can remember walking down a garden path with my granda at 4 but I can't remember that girl's name that I met on saturday night.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

lol.. when I was young I had an obssession with blowing up

"Mom, if i put my hand into the fire, am I gonna blow up?? Am I gonna die??"

"Mom, if I eat the crust on my sandwich, am I gonna blow up?? Am I gonna die??"

That lasted about 5 years with EVERY action I did.

1. I have the same name as a past President of America, including the middle initial.
2. I'm directly related to the first person to be run over by a train.
3. I've broken six of my fingers and each of my toes at least twice, and have had my nose broken twice. I also managed to break my knee when I was much younger.
4. There was once a lynx loose around the town in which I reside.
5. I suffer from insomnia.
5. A friend was once attacked by a robin whilst sitting an examination, and failed (apparently) as a result.
6. I almost lost a thumb when I managed to trap it between two boats, only one of which was moving.
7. I once had a temperature of 40.9°C (105.7°F). Rather than visiting a hospital, I've been told that I was only reduced to fits of girlish laughter.
8. I learnt how to pick locks by the age of seven.
9. I've never had a nosebleed, but once fell over and removed all the skin from the top of my nose and my right forearm.
10. The television series 'Peak Practice' was filmed at my local doctor's surgery.

These are so much fun, what a great idea!

1] When being born, I had to be removed from my mom with forceps.
2] As a result of one, the top of my left ear is permenately bent down.
3] I have Asperger's Syndrome which is a mild form of Autism, which I know learn can be caused by receiving vaccines stored in mercury.
4] As a teenager, I've punched holes into a few different walls (once with my head).
5] I haven't talked to my dad in three years.
6] I've had a crush on a girl for five years (started in 7th grade, still going strong in 11th) but I've never been able to ask her out.
7] I am more religious than most people my age, but I don't go to church.
8] I took the SAT test (an exam taken before entering college) when I was in 6th grade (11yo) and scored a 1030 out of 1600 (my score was in the top 75 percentile).
9] Although I have no interest in writing as a profession, or even a hobby, I've been told by my English teacher that my fiction is some of the best she's ever read by a student.
10] Whenever I contemplate the feeling of existing forever, I get so scared that I have to talk to someone to calm me down.

That was exhilirating! I'm gonna try and think up another ten! 8)

Biology fun fact: Actually, all babies, when born, have a bluish-purplish tinge to their skin, eyes, and nails. This is because a baby does not use as much oxygen in the womb as it could. Therefore more red blood cells lack oxygen, which turns them blue, which turns areas where blood is partially blue. But don't worry, the blueness is fleeting. After about twenty minutes after being born, the baby has that wonderful pink color that we all adore.

Ahh but I was whisked off with a big chord wrapped around my neck and after about 10 minutes I came back all fine again. I remember it so well :D

Well, the blusih part and the ten minutes until a rosy pink, is normal, but I'm glad there was no serious damage because of the cord. If there was, we might not have you here. Oh, now I've gone and made myself sad. :(

10 things about me (I worry when typing this as you are only just getting to know me, and it might make you all run away) :(


1. My real name is Katy. My alias is Anaryn and has been for the last 5 or so years because there was once an episode in Star Trek and they went to a planet called Anara and I thought it was pretty. (My MSN is anaryn@hotmail.com if you'd like to add me, please let me know you're from here if you message me.)

2. I have a little OCD, I have the checking version only, it can drive my friends and family crazy waiting for me, and my dad still remains unaware?!

3. Vodka and Redbull makes me do bad things. Last time I confessed I fancied one of my closest friends, and haven't spoken to him since, the time before I ended a 6yr relationship. White wine makes my legs stop working, and lager (namely Carlsberg) makes me chase men!! :P

4. I won a poetry competition when I was 13ish and had to recite my poem infront of 40,000 people at Goodision Park Stadium, and several cameras for Songs of Praise. I was also on Radio Merseyside and met lots of Brookside stars, Diane off Blue Peter, and Ken Dodd. It was over 10 years ago.

5. I accidently became an accountant. :oops:

6. I have started talking to people with my eyes shut(???) and it really annoys me because I think it must make me look ignorant. But I can't stop it.

6. Even though I have spent years admiring mentalists, I have only recently started to learn anything about them and how they do what they do. I am reading what I can but am also thinking of doing courses on NLP, behaviour, and body language. I am not planning on becoming an official mentalist, but I have a great interest in working out how people think and act.

7. I have never broken a bone. But once broke a friends nose by playing too roughly on the see-saw.

8. I once packed a bag (and a plastic suitcase filled with fake money), and ran away from home (I was about 7). I got to the local woods and met some friends, got hungry and went back home. I was never missed.

9. Last year I had to have a Barium Meal to find out why I have a pain in my lower intestine... but they haven't found anything wrong. So I still have the random pain, plus a massive dose of radiation.

10. I have put number 6 in twice to see if people notice. 8)


Please now feel free to ignore the physco in the corner.... lol. :wink:
