Fact 1: I have dual citizenship between the US and Canada.
Fact 2: When I was little I was obsessed with dogs so I memorized every kind of dog breed.
Childhood Story: When I was 6 my best friend/ neighbor, Matt and I were in the same class at school. His family was rich and he always had really cool stories and things to show at show and tell. When it came my time for show and tell I told a story about my cat, which didn't exist, and how it recently had kittens. The next day after me telling about my fake cat the teacher asked how they were doing and I told her that two kittens had died but one more was born. Matt came over and asked to see the kittens so I took him all around the house pretending to look for them. Finally, Matt figured out that it was a lie and made me tell my teacher I made the whole thing up.

Fact 1: I believe I am created to revolve my every life decision around Jesus Christ, which was a crazy thought untill I started doing just that.
Fact 2: I've had everything from a skunk to a cricket as a pet, but I've always wanted a tiger or penguin.
Childhood Story: When I was a kid I would always cry till I passed out - exciting for babysitters or any on lookers. Since I grew up on a farm/ranch I learned to climb everything in sight, and one day I fell out of one of the biggest trees we had, and thus, started crying. Even though it was a pretty nasty fall, I was crying so hard that I actually passed out while going up the cement steps to our house and was injured much much worse from the tumble down the steps. Yea, I was a pretty ugly kid for a while, but I looked tough as long as you didn't know the story.

Fact 1: I used to be really OCD about the lights in a room, especially an auditorium with lots of lights/light fixtures. I would count the number of total lights and the number of the burnt out lights. It's something I've worked on and only do when I'm bored. Fact 2: My hair started turning gray when I was 17. Childhood Story: Until I was 3 or 4, I wanted to be a boy. The music minister at my church thought it was hilarious and would often ask me if I was a boy or a girl. One day I looked at him, shrugged, and said "half and half." He thought it was the funniest answer and still tells that story to this day.

Fact 1: I went to five different schools when I was a kid.
Fact 2: I helped my parents move 7 times when they broke up.
Childhood Story: Well when I was a fairly young kid my brother and I always liked riding up the hill on our push bikes, then ride down as fast as we could and see who could make the biggest skid in the gravel. One day mum bought dad a new mountain bike, it had heaps of gears and the two break handle etc (no of which I knew much about as my bike didn't have anything like that on it). After a while I thought I would try it out, I rode down the hill as fast as a I could and grabbed hold of the brake handle as hard as I could. It wasn't long 'till I realized that the break I used was the front break and preceded to do a front flip over the bike with it landing on top of me. I slowly got up and walked the bike back into the shed planing to deny what happened to anyone. Needless to say, I didn't ride dad's bike for a while after that and when I did I spent a lot of time carefully making sure that a knew which break was which.
