1. I somehow managed to develop a stomach ulcer, which are often stress related, at age 7 (which went undiagnosed until I was 14, presumably because 7 year olds just don't get stomach ulcers).

2. I once electrocuted myself on a 240V mains socket, which led to me running around in circles screaming until I passed out and woke up in hospital. I was 5, I think.

3. Absolutely no word of a lie, I sort of predicted my Dad's Dad's death. Long story short: We (parents, me, my Mum's Mum) were in the car, he was in Iran, I said 'my grandfather is dying' for absolutely no reason (my Mum's Dad was known as Grandad to me, by the way) and when we got home my Dad received a call that his Dad had passed away an hour beforehand. Absolutely true, that.

4. Apparently I'm quite boring because I can't think of anything else.
 
1. I was arrested at 18.
2. I have never met my mother, father or older brother.
3. I love cherry flavored items, but not cherries.
4. Today is my 3rd wedding anniversary.
5. I have been bowling with just two fingers since I was 12. I never bothered learning to use my thumb and to this day I don't know how.
 
6. I am genuinely terrified of confronting people. No matter what it's about or who it is (excluding my very close family)
7. I drove a 2009 E63 AMG on my 16th birthday (Nov. 9, 2012)
8. I hate school so much that I've had to be arrested a few times to get me to go there.
9. I accidentally stabbed myself in the forehead with a machete at around age 7 or 8. It was Halloween and I wanted to carve the pumpkin, my mom wouldn't let me, so when she went out to talk to the neighbors, I decided to do it myself. I took the machete and lunged it into the pumpkin, and tried to pull it out, only to fling it into my forehead. I claimed it was the cat (I didn't want to get in trouble) and we got rid of her. That still haunts me to this day. (mom still thinks it was the cat) :(
10. I absolutely hate any music that isn't country music or isn't a few specific classic 60s and 70s songs.
11. Me and my friend once went to a store and started shoplifting. I think this is part of what put me into a major and severe depression. We got away with it for quite a while, until the manager started noticing missing things and reviewed the cameras. The next time we came in he followed us and caught us. It freaked me out so much that I've never stole anything again. I'm pretty glad he caught me even though he banned us both from going there ever again. (And I've not been there since)
12. I'm not certain I won't be homeless in the coming year (not that anyone knows they won't be) but it is a true possibility for us.
13. I am extremely arachnophobic.
 
1. I hate macaroni and cheese but I love spaghetti
2. I'm left-handed
3. I have only driven and owned American branded cars: Dodge Neon and a Chevy Cobalt. I'll try a German car next time starting with a brand new Audi in a couple of years' time.
4. I used to play nothing but matchboxes and marbles when I was a kid. I never played videogames until I was almost in high school.
5. I have been in a motorcycle accident when I was a child. I was riding on its sidecar. The motorcycle driver crashed head-on towards a Jeep. I remember passing out then waking up and feeling a sharp pain on my left arm, which broke. Ouch.
 
14. It can really irritate me when people use there, their, and they're incorrectly. Also we're and were. And you're and your. A few others too, but I can't think of them.
 
5. I hate tomatoes but I'll eat pasta sauce, salsa, hell even sun dried tomatoes

4. I can't stand women drivers...sorry ladies. Every accident I have ever been in with the exception of 1 have been caused by women.

3. I can juggle...but only 3 items

2. I am 6' 2"

1. I HATE when people say these ones and those ones! THAT IS WRONG!!!! You cannot pluralize a singular...its either these or those, this one or that one. That crap drives me nuts. Why is this lmited to 5? LoL I've got more!

1. My Mum and Nan both passed away from Cancer, my Dad had a stroke October last year and I see so much bad come from smoking that I'll never touch a cigarette.

2. I nearly died from a drug overdose. I was on very strong medication for some bad chest pain and didn't know what I was doing. I asked my step mum to buy some paracetamol and she placed then in my room. When I woke up I took 37 not realising what I did. Threw up constantly for the next week and haven't touched a single drug apart from caffeine since.

3. On April 9th I gave up alcohol and have been straight edge since then.

4. When I was 11 I accidentally burnt a shed down when I went through a pyromaniac phase.

5. I've only just got my first girlfriend and my first job in October. My life seems to be on the up. But I'll touch wood just in case.

3. I have a relative who is 6'8"

4. I wear contacts.

5. Being 14, I despise all of the new trends in this earth. Ex. "Swag", "YOLO", etc;
 
Here's some more from me...

6. I'm scared of being 'tied down', so to speak, in a relationship or strong commitment. I'm scared I'll lose my freedom and will always have to do what the other person wants to do. It's been like that in all of my relationships, thus I strongly dislike them and do not want another.

7. I find it hard to trust people. I only trust very close people, such as relatives. I always have this constant thing in the back of my mind that the person I'm trusting is breaking that trust. I can't help it.

8. I often say inappropriate things. Perhaps not on here as much, because I've got a screen to keep me pondering what I'm actually about to say. But in real life, I often say things which are a little too far and grotesque in our group of friends. Sometimes I speak my mind too much. I don't upset anyone, I just disgust them.

9. I treat others how they treat me. If you treat me like a saint, I'll treat you like a saint. If you treat me like a rat in a ditch, I'll treat you like a rat in a ditch. I try not to be mean or upset people if I've never met them before. If I feel like I've upset anyone, I feel terrible. Really terrible.

10. I'm very small. So small, that I only stand at 5 feet tall. I have a friend who is the same age as me and smaller than me, too. I find tall people intimmidating and I don't like their long legs. There is a guy in my History who sits behind me and his legs literally sit underneath my chair. I hate it.

Yep. That's me alright. Except I'm 178cm tall, or 5'11'.

Sometimes I say things without having actually put some thought in them, and that usually ends up in someone disliking me from that point on.

2. Despite being 14 I prefer alot of old school rap compared to new school
3. I say innapropriate things all the time, apart from on here of course.
