I had an epidural with 3 of mine, but it only worked with one because of scar tissue in my lower back that the anesthetist didn't work around.
I don't like to tell my birth stories because people usually think I'm crazy/exaggerating/bragging... but errrrrlady has her own birth path! Mine were both relatively easy/quick and I wouldn't trade them (and I know I'm a lucky one)!

Hahaha! To be fair, it is the perfect name for that situation. Or was it his name prior to it happening? That would be even crazier.
I don't think it was? I don't think they owned another cat for awhile after that one, haha.

Alright, since Merrylou is a supreme liar and the game is at a stand still, I'm going to post one.

-I once climbed a mountain in nothing but my underwear.
- Despite the fact that I'm really clumsy, I've never broken a bone
-When I was 14, a New York Times Best Selling Author contacted me to demand that I apologize for calling one of his characters "A whiny, obnoxious bitch"

Hahaha...

Alright. The author was Terry Goodkind (He wrote the Sword of Truth Series... they are moderately popular fantasy novels. They briefly had this god-awful TV show on ABC called "Legend of the Seeker")

I used to hang out on Prophets Inc, which was the "Official" website for the series. Goodkind wasn't particularly computer-oriented, but friends of his ran the site and he would keep up with what was posted on there and would respond indirectly from time to time via the administrative staff- basically if there was any content that he really didn't like, he'd ask the admins to remove it and send a private message about why it wasn't the sort of thing that belonged on the site.

At one point, a bunch of people were talking about various characters and stuff, and someone went off about how great the main female character in the series was. I responded that she wasn't that great... she was poorly developed, kind of unlikable, and EXCEPTIONALLY whiny. I finished it by calling her a "Whiny, obnoxious bitch."

A few hours later, my post had vanished, and I had a private message in my in box from one of the administrators. Apparently Goodkind had read the post and found it offensive, and had the admins remove it and issue me a warning. He was also DEMANDING A FORMAL APOLOGY before I was allowed to post on the site any more. Years later a friend asked about it at a meet and greet, and he admitted that he was "really defensive over that kind of stuff" and didn't think it was appropriate for people to "Insult his characters on his own forum" and expected apologies from people when they were "Really disrespectful".

I'll go again.

  • I'm blurbed on the publisher's page for a book by one of my favourite authors.
  • My mom walked in on me during my first time.
  • During said first time, Pearl Jam's cover of Baba O'Riley (teenage waaaaaaaaaaasteland) was playing.

I shouldn't guess... But I have to say 3, because no one is cool enough to play music their first time, and therfore uncool enough to have their mom walk in on them.

Aw damn Kitty beat me

Since someone already guessed the one I would normally guess, I'm going to guess number 2.

Cause I think it was actually your dad.

Lepi @Lepi wins!

There was actually a mix tape he'd made me with another song I'll go post in the music thread. No one walked in, he was older, it was at his house.

Here's the flattering blurb if anyone is interested.

Sweet. Let's see...

- I can't tell time on an analog clock
- I lost my first spelling bee because I couldn't spell "energy"
- I can tie a cherry stem in to a knot with my tongue

Nope, that one is true. I really can't deal with analog clocks.

Fuck it.

  • I dated a guy for six months believing he was Australian when he was really from a shitty little town in inland SoCal.
  • I went to State in the Spelling Bee in seventh grade, but can't remember the word I was eliminated on.
  • On my friend's 18th birthday, I almost got into a fist fight with the lead singer of a third wave ska band.
