There's a huge chunk of you out there whose LJs I read every day - but in a lot of cases, I don't know how old a lot of you are, or where you live, or basic, normal things.
This is the problem with LJ - we all think we are so close, and while we know about the day-to-day, there's still a lot we don't know about each other. So let's rectify it.
I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. I promise, I will not make fun of you, or say who asked what; I won't divulge any social security numbers and stuff, but I'll try to answer everything - personal, fandom - whatever.
I then invite you to do the same. Remember, seriously basic stupid questions, don't be embarrassed, you would be really shocked what I don't know about you.

It was difficult emotionally. Himself and I only saw each other for barely a week of the pregnancy because he was in basic training and tech school the entire time I was pregnant, so I only saw him for a few days around Christmas (before I knew for sure I was pregnant) and the day before she was born. My best friend (
How were yours?
After the fifth week, I felt nauseated almost 24 hours. When I got hungry, it was ravenous hurtful hunger like a hunger I'd never felt before.
The second month, I had the hormones pumping into my body and you could see the veins in my breasts and they were sore---24/7 sore.
As my first pregnancy progressed, I started to get pinched nerves---one in my butt especially. It's hard to maneuver with a big belly and pinched nerve. Yeah, my husband called me 'Quasimodo'.
I also got carpal tunnel when I was pregnant. I've never had it before or again but my hand would go completely numb in the middle of the night and I'd have to stand up to get (what felt like) the blood back into my hand. I lost all feeling in my right hand at the end of the pregnancy and six weeks after I gave birth.
With my second pregnancy, I broke out in a rash because of the hormones. It was 120 degrees here in Phoenix and I was 9 months pregnant covered in a painful rash.
You are told to sleep on your left side during pregnancy. You are told over and over that that is the best position for the baby. I would get so sore sleeping on just one side and not moving and I'd snore like mad when I laid on my back because of the weight of the baby.
Only 11 hours of labor with Chaz and 4 with Asia though.
Have you seen Head?
I applied to several colleges and went with Mary Baldwin because they made the most generous aid offer. When I arrived for orientation week, I found out they'd confused me for over six months with another applicant with the same last name and the correct offer was barely a half-ride (way more than full in-state tuition at the University of Colorado). I sometimes wonder why I didn't leave right then, but the year I spent there was character-building... and I met great people like Aziz, Dr. Westhafer and all the PEG students the staff kept mistaking me for being.
