This feels somewhat appropriate to that comment.
1. I've mention it before but it doesn't seem to stick. My current user name, -Fa-, is my actual middle name and yes it is spelled Fa. It's on my ID and I will gladly show it if I ever met you in real life to prove it, but it sounds like Faye, so far everyone gets its wrong. My mom told me it the French spelling of Faye...I have no idea if that true.
2. To go with #1 90% of the people I know never get my 1st name, Shawnel, right the 1st time and some still don't get it right even if I've corrected them more times then I could count. This not only with how they pronounce my name but how they spell it. Even my school got it wrong most of the time and I missed a lot of notes sent to me from the office cause the teachers didn't have a student by the name of 'Cinel/Shinel/Seanel' Whenever we had a sub if he/she stumbled on a name each time it was mine that was stumbled. If your wondering how I got this name, doctors told my parents I was gonna be a boy so they were going to name me Shawn, my mother added the 'el' at the end to make it sound more feminine.
3. I have a older half-sister on my biological fathers' side I've never met, and I haven't seen the man since I was 3 years old so I'll most likely never will meet her.
4. I hate dolls...I really really hate them, my grandmother would collect them when she was alive and when I would stay over I would have to sleep with them staring at me, didn't help my older cousin would sometimes hide behind them and make them move when I passed by when we were kids. A few years ago I got a text from my mom and she ask me to check for something in her room. I go look and I see one of the 2 1/5ft dolls we gave my grandma when I was little and she didn't tell me we now had it...I ended up slamming the door to her room, running back to my room and strayed there till she came home and I told her to hide it. We still have it and it still creeps me out, one reason is it looks just like me when I was 5 just shorter...I really hate them. I'm fine with stuff toys and I do have a Card Captor Sakura doll but that shouldn't be a surprise. What is surprising is I want one of those 'Ball Jointed' dolls cause I heard there good to use for pose references for artist. That and they don't look like real people like most dolls. Also I really like Rozen Maiden XD.
5. I'm really really bad an remembering peoples names, so don't take it personal if I ever forget yours. However I'm great with faces and little details most people don't notice.
6. Up in till 8th grade I wanted to be a Vet, actually I want to be a vet for zoo animals. I even helped one of my cats and two of her daughters when they were giving birth to kittens (3 litters for my cat and 1 each for her two daughters), also I loved any animal-based lessons and aced all my Bio assignments that were about animals. Once I enter high school I figured I wouldn't be able to handle being one and that when I started drawing.
7. I never been on an actual 'date', well at least I didn't consider it as a date if I went on one. I went to prom twice but with a group of friends and it was more or less so we could go to Kings Island for after prom and miss school. I honestly find it hard to believe anyone liking me that why. I remember the 1st time a guy actually asked me out when I was a freshmen in high school I said something like “That not funny you jerk” cause I thought he was picking on me[being bullied non-stop from grade 1 I would assume most people where out to get me at the time]...only to find out later that day he actually had a crush on me. Of course I apologizes when I saw him later but I didn't go out with him, we did become friends though. Honestly I was a little freaked out going from 'No one wants to be around you' to 'Someone wanting to be around you all the time' in the span of half a year. To much to fast I guess, I mention somewhere else I prefer being alone after being around a group for long periods of time, I'm just use to it. Also I don't want to be in a relationship like that till I feel better about where my life is personally.
8. Since people are talking about kids, I don't plan on every giving birth to any children, if I were to have kids it will be through adoption but this very unlikely. While I'm an only child(save for the half-sister mention earlier) I'm the 2nd oldest grandchild in the family of 8 grand kids (oldest is 24 and youngest will be 4 next month) we all live within an hour of each other so I've been around little kids my whole life and I'm good with them. I don't hate kids but I only like the ones I'm related to. My only issues with kids is more with their parents who let them do whatever they want...or bring them to a R-rated movie and they talk the whole damn time -__-
9. I am often questioned what my ethnicity is, mainly during the summer cause my skin gets really dark really quickly (don't burn through) I've been asked the if I'm Mexican/South American/Greek/French(once) when I'm actually Irish and ¼ Cherokee(my grandmother on my biological father's side is a full blood...I sound like I'm in Harry Potter saying that)
10. I have this really bad habit of repeating myself when talking, I'm completely aware of it and I really hate when I do cause I feel really stupid when I start, so far no one else has pointed it out. Maybe now they will since I mention it.
I ended up changing like half of these to make them shorter or less personal. In the end it didn't really help XD
