I got hit by a truck when I was a little girl, just pumped me off the road and  I had some scratches and bruises. Don't remember that part though.  Just the truck hitting me after I crossed the street. 
 
I got drowned two times , once in a river and the other time in a lake.  Then I was terrified of water but I self-taught to swim in a pool when I was 14 years old.   :)

I fell off a horse just as I climbed up onto the saddle and it reared.  I fell off and broke my right hand 4th finger below the knuckle.  Yes, and I had to wear a cast plus going to work.   

I had 4 operations on my feet.  Two hammer toes(each foot) and two ingrown toe nails(each foot).  Ouchy for me!   :P

Until now, in case nobody saw, my post count said "leet" haha.  I wanted to say something about it, but it would change.  Oh well, no more 'leet' for me :P

There was this thing at my university where you had to answer 10 Canadian Geography questions, and put your answers in a ballot box.  They picked one that got 10/10 to give a bunch of stuff to and I won.  The funny thing is, I didn't know any of the answers, and my friend told me all of them heehee.  These were unrealistic questions, like specific dates of random events, measurements of regions, etc.

I got like 2 travel mugs, 2 tshirts, pajama pants, a stuffed moose haha, a bunch of pencils and pens, a mousepad, and a notepad.  It was pretty sweet (I gave my friend some of the stuff, because he was the reason I won).

I hate being touched without giving any sort of permission for it to happen, used to have some very interesting (and violent) reflex actions to it :P
I know French, Dutch, Italian and English languages-but have probably forgotten a lot of them.
I am training in judo, kickboxing and jujitsu in preparation for starting in the security industry. Some people on the street are nasty!
I suffer from extreme anxiety and started treatment for it recently.

nah XP he's normal... But in my country marrying person that much older than you is kind of normal... (of course the men are older than the women). May be because of the old culture where the parents acted as their daughter's matchmaker...

I am a failure Child Progidy.

My I.Q. is 149 (Genius level) at the latest I.Q. test I took but I see myself as a failure.
Diagnosed with Autism.

I used to be a child progidy at a young age.
And that topic in the other forum reminded me of that past life.

I won a national competition in Chemistry during 2007.
I had a recital in China but I have to discontinue Chopin Etude Op.25 No.11.
I was given 20 days to practice and I mastered "BLUE MOON" and "The Entertainer" in just one day only to find out that I will make 3 mistakes in the recital.

If you can remember, I posted a MIDI draft of my Symphony here in Pianostreet and I cannot finish my draft.

I am currently perfecting my technique in Chopin Waltz Op.42.
And have started Chopin Etude Op.10 No.5

Please give me time to perfect my technique until November 10.



I intend to be a composer and I am working my very best to awaken the so called MUSE.
I have already studied Guitar theory but not drum theory.

BTW, I am not bragging.  You just do not know who I am.

And I hear that you've also set up the hi-fi system for at least one composer - so do not be unduly modest in your expression of personal credentials!...

I was once threatened by my school headmaster with expulsion from school for having been caught teaching on school premises during school hours (albeit not for any kind of remuneration); perhaps this taught me a lesson - which is to leave teaching to teachers...

Yes, I can see why a headmaster would be crossed if he finds someone not only actually teaching within school premises, but compounding the crime by doing so during school hours too! Really... next thing you're going to expect police persons actually trying to catch thiefs!

Leave teaching to school teachers, hmmm, you have an unexpected cruel streak in you it seems... Let me just say I like reading despite being taught literature at school, and like music despite school musical lessons...
