I have a genetic condition called Ectodermal Displaysia... its has many symptoms which include lack of sweat glands (I only sweat on my hands and feet), sparse hair (like thats a surprise) poor eyesight and lack of teeth... I have only ever grown 6 teeth.. 4 upper and 2 lower. I also have 4 Titanium screws in my lower gum. And yes I can eat everything including steak.
A cool party trick I have is the ability to lick my nose (above nostrils) and pull my bottom lip up over my nose. hehe

compound breaks on both arms. (when the bones stick out)

had both eye brows split open. (almost as much blood as the arms).

broken a finger playing cricket.

stiches in my back.

On my tennis court I was going to kick a ball along the fence but kicked the fence itself slicing 3/4 of my little toe off. The doctors stitched it up but i can't feel it.

I have to get all my wisdom out in the next year.

I have never had a tooth out or a filling.

my step brother has three testies (it is true, he told us when he was drunk on his bucks night)

I am secretly a nerd. I am ashamed to tell anybody. (I collect consoles, I have every sega, nintendo, atari ever made in original packaging.)

I have been with my gf since highschool. 6 years.

I am too paranoid to drive my car (to many D&*kheads out there) and I secretly have the desire to bubble wrap it and just look at it.

I was so shy of girls in high school ones that asked me out that I liked I rejected.

My dad tried to blow his head off in front of me when I was 8.

Interesting topic. Ok then.

My first car was a 4CYL LJ Holden Torana (that had a Gemini motor)

I meet my soon to be wife via her father and a couple of '70 model Toyota
Celicas which I brought off him.

My soon to be father in law is also a spray painter, mechanic and panel beater by trade and also a Ford man.

Im an accountant, and proud to to be and have been for over 5 years.

Between me and my fiance we have 5 Falcons (4 registered).

I had a mullet in my first year of uni (back in 98 not 78) which off course
remained on my studend card card until I gratuated in 2003.

I still use my student card to get student discounts.

Im 25 y/o.

I have a first cousin ive only meet once and spoke to twice (he lives in Perth).

I was once a wingnut under influene by my mother I had plastic surgery when I was a kid to correct it.

I had both my big toe, toe nails removed to stop those f*cking ingrown tow nails i use to always get.

I talked my mother into buying about a $1,500 Rainbow vacuum cleaner (you know the ones with the water filters, like on that Who Loves Raymond epsiode).

Ive sworn to never buy a newer car again anything later than an XF.

I have a time capsule of selected toys which I packed when I started year 7.

I got booked for speeding 15 klms over when taking a girl on a first date (never got a second date either).

I collect old hand held games.

My bedroom when living at home was a caravan, (before that was half the shed for about 6 months) for about 8 years before buying a house.

I have to 2 project cars Ive never finished (an XE 4.1 fuel injected and a v8 XF) and never will.

I reakon my current 1980 XD Fairmont Ghia V8 is the best car ive ever owned.

Thanks probaby enough :/

I almost split my left big toe in half with a hatchet while cutting kindling in bare feet when I was 4.... I wanted stitches to be cool
I fell off a swing when I tried to stand up with no hands, landed on a tonka truck and cut my right arse cheek open, when I was 5... doctor wanted to put stitches in, i didnt.
The only bad injury I have done is a sprained ankle (right)m tore two tendons/ligaments/whetever they are, and the muscle about 4 inches up the outside of my leg. This was done trying to bunny-hop over 4 bread crates (about 2.5 milk crates high) on my push bike... I made it the first time but wanted to do it better, I shouldve been happy with what I had already acheived.
I'm a shy person, takes a while to get comfortable, I also run out of things to say easily.
My pet dog when I was 6-7 on the farm was taken to the back paddock and shot cause it was a pain in the arse around the cattle, i didnt find out until about 12months ago. I was told it got ran over.
Not a big fan of piercings or tattoos, though I did always want a cougar climbing my back.

Mrs kooky · 09-16-2004, 01:21

Ok......

Like Kooky (obviously) I have a 3 and a half year old son, and a cat called Gavin.
I think nipple rings are the sexiest piercing, but I hate tongue rings.
I only have my ears pierced cos I'm too scared to get anything else done.
I have no pigmentation over 90% of my body.
I am extremely protective of my family, but insecure in my relationships.
Kooky is the love of my life
Kooky and I lived next door to each other when we met, (aaah who says the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence

I too have one person who I despise in life. I also know who Kooky hates.
I have broken my arms 5 times in total.
My best friend's name is Tracey and I've known her since I was 6.
I work way too hard.

Very interesting thread!

I've always had a need for speed when I was younger I was in one of those wheeled walkers, all day i used to run accross the lino kitchen floor and straight down the step leading to the back veranda. My mum would pick me back up, 5 minutes later i'd be running accross the kitchen floor.....

I injure myself way to easily... some of the best: Age 4 busted my face/lips/nose open standing on a 4 plastic wheeled mini tractor trying to look over the back fence, tractor slipped. Age 5 playing cowboys and indians with a garden fork... put the fork straight through my big toe on my left foot. Age 8 fell of my bike for the 2000th time, but managed to take off all the skin/fat/meat on my left inner knee, bone partially scraped - full recovery! Ran over by a car at age 13 (again on a bike). Broke 2 fingers 5 times between 14 and 17. Cut my ankle drunkenly kicking a street sign at age 17.... went to sleep any way. Next day the doctor needed to put 3 internal stitches in and could still see the tendons in my leg moving when i moved my foot (required 4 internal/8 external in the end)... Still managed to get my licesnse 2 days later! Age 18 removed vision in my right eye with a pair of pliers. Long story, been told to many times (wear saftey glasses kids!). Waiting for the next installment.

I have had a moth trapped in my inner ear.

I have no tats because I always spend my money on cars instead, wanting to get a ford symbol somewhere though...

Know most if not all classic simpsons quotes.

Can imitate (some badly, better when drunk) almost any voice/accent.

Was told by my english teacher at the end of year 10 i'd "be lucky to be a garbo"... now earning more than her and have been for 4 years.

OK here goes,

I work at Mitsubishi Motors (but for how long, god knows...)
I am an Australian citizen, but was born and raised in Amsterdam,
The Netherlands until the age of 20.
I have only ever broken thing, my lefthand pinky.
I've got lots of hobbies and talents, but don't know what I want out of life.
I have a beautiful partner, she's Scottish born and 4 months pregnant.
And there's lots more, but too weird to spill to just anyone.
