I say we use the same format as you. I don't feel like reading another persons 5 page life story. Heres mine.
Born in the summer of 85.
My dad is a retired meat producer/genetic engineer for beefmaster cattle. He has been on the cover of alot of national mags. He selects bull semen and distributes it $$. Now he daytrades and travels. Has 2 degrees, Animal Science/Math.
Mother, now deceased was a nationally recognized school teacher. Very respected in what she did.
I am the product of small town texas and ranching. I have more hours in the saddle than most people have had on a bicycle. If we were to rank the amount of hrs horseback, I would be in the 99%. I can weld, rebuild engines, build gates, trailers, pretty much anything with my hands. I used to do alot of public speaking in front of thousands of people. I can work with computer hardware/software/programming and I am going to school for Information Management on the biggest college campus in the USA. Just like my dad, jack of all trades, master of none.
Though i am now around thousands of people, I grew up on one of the biggest ranches in texas. I have skinned more deer than most people have seen in their lives. I have cleaned deer for Mick Jagger. (weak ass) I have cleaned dove for Tommy Lee Jones for the past 7 years.
Graduated from HS with honors, though I almost didn't graduate because I didn't 'show up' enough. Prom king, didn't even go to prom. I can get along with anyone, though I tend to keep my friends separate.
Been listening to heavy music and country forever. I can listen to anything musically 'good'. If there ain't shit to it or its stupid, I can't respect it. Picked up the guitar last year.
Got my drivers license at 16, have ALOT of miles under my belt for my age.
Once transported illegal aliens at 17, got caught but was still a juvenile.
I've been to ~40 states, about 6 countries.
I do alot of 4wheeling. Big tires, low gearing and solid axles I get queer over.
I clean 50lb catfish to Pantera.
Sister went to Yale. Brother went to Stanford.
But I'm still the baddest mutha in the family, thats who I am.

i was born the summer of '81.
my parents were poor my whole life, and in my early life we were "homeless".
i've lived in vans, trucks, cars, tents, shacks on the sides of mountains, and trailers.
we never had running water growing up...had to haul it in jugs.
the first time i ever was able to afford to go to the dentist was last wednesday.
my dad went without for years to make sure my mom and i had everything we needed: clothes, food, etc etc.
my dad died two days after i got married, and was too sick to travel to see me get married.
i stayed fucked up after his death, and didn't stop till we found out we were having a baby.
the day we found out it was a boy, my husbands brother was murdered.
i got pinned against a brick wall by a drunk driver, which resulted in my leg being broken in half.
nothing bad happened to the driver, punishment-wise.
i've been married for 3 years and no matter what bullshit we put each other through, i know we'll last.
i listen to old music and watch old movies.
in the late 80's i "teased" my hair once because i thought it was cool.
it wasn't.
i've "inherited" emotional problems (OCD, paranoia, you name it) from my mother, and arthritis/weak bones from my father.
this is who i am....
who are you?

Born in Nov of 1956- yes, and still alivee
oldest girl of 5 kids
Dad was career officer in the Marines
Mom was beautiful officer's wife
both raging alcholics, as was my grandfather
when my dad went to Vietnam twice, we lived with my grandparents
grandfather was also an alcoholic, and he molested me.

Once dad came back from war, we moved every year. My dad started beating my mom so finally when I was 8 she packed us all up and drove from Chicago to Washington State. I was the navigator (we got lost several times!
I lost my virginity when an aquaintance from my high school raped me when I was 13.
I tried to commit suicide when I was 14.
I ran away when I was 15.
I had many many issues, that I "managed" with drugs and alcohol on a daily basis. Nobody really talked about rape or incest then. I had OCD and depression, and it was as if those things did not exist. I am glad the world is more open today.
I dropped out of college at 19 to model in Hawaii and Japan for a few years, then off to LA to be (trite but true) an actress. I got a SAG card, was in a few movies and a whirlwind marriage to a smooth-talking british car dealer...and then hit an alcoholic bottom in 1985.
I divorced my charmer (did I mention he was a cokehead - hey, it was the 80's in LA, that's a given), dragged my sorry ass to AA, started ten years of therapy, moved far away and went back to college, married again, big mistake (surprize crack addict ) so another divorce, move to Boston, grad school, finally good marriage for the last ten years, though we have our problems. Been trying to have/make/adopt kids ever since before we got married. Both our mothers died. We had a miscarriage and he had testicular cancer and lost a testicle.
I have a good job, and he has his own business, which he loves.

Have had lots of pain, lots of fun too. Typical life

And now I am working a seasonal job as snow removal and I plan on going back to college this spring.

[on_second_thought]

I was born in December of 1982.
My father and mother were both in highschool and had been seperated for a couple of months I guess. My mother was with my two half brothers' dad at this point.

We never had a lot of money when I was growing up. It was always me, my two half brothers, and my mom. There were random boyfriends throughout the years, but they usually didn't hang around very long. I spent a lot of time inside my head and didn't make very many friends. I appreciated and found happiness in the smallest, most miniscule things in life. I didn't sit in front of the tv all day long. I wasn't much on hanging around the house. I was always out in the woods looking for animals to watch, or building a fort, or walking around town. I was always looking for an adventure.

I once stripped my little brother completely naked and locked him outside of our townhome on the front steps while I flicked the light on and off to get peoples' attention. He wouldn't stop bothering me.

When I was about 6 or 7, I talked my brothers into leaving the apartment with me while our mom was asleep. We went dumpster diving. My brother got ketchup all over himself somehow while we were in the dumpster. When we were headed back home, across the parking lot, a cop saw my brother and thought he was bleeding. He escorted us back home and scared the holy shit out of my mom.

I've been prone to self injury my entire life. I've had to get stitches several times. I do everything with unnecessary force and don't realize it. I smoke like a freight train (about 2.5 packs a day) I now have 2 beautiful children, ages 3 and 4... one boy and one girl. I quit public school in the seventh grade, went to homeschool til ninth grade, then thought I didn't need it because I could just get a job.[started dabbling with different drugs.. hooked on coke/meth for several months, tripped acid, tried huffing, lost alot of self respect and respect for others. wanted to die.] Went through 4 years of a bad marriage with the mother of my children. I found the love of my life in October of 2005, and we're getting married sometime soon... don't have a date yet. I install custom hardwood floors for a living. I LOVE music. Played guitar for about 5 years, recently switched to bass. Got scabies last week. Sucks. Ok, now I'm just rambling... hope this was informative. I'm stoned and don't want to re-read it all to see if it makes sense.

[thcbongman]

I was born in 1983 in Bangkok, Thailand
My dad is a former diplomat who worked for the State Department
I lived in Prague, Czechslovakia, Stuggart, Germany, and Berne, Switzerland. I still consider Berne home.
I moved to the US when I was 14. That's when I started toking.
Had all sorts of trouble through high school, getting expelled from 2 schools. Eventually I finished high school, 6 months earlier than my class. At that point, I got a job, went to community college and discovered a love for psychedelics. Found the girl of my dreams when I was 19, got married at 20, divorced at 21, suspended from job when I was 23 shortly after, contracted cancer, survived, and now waiting until I get major surgery in a month. After that, I plan on either going back to my old job, or going back to school, haven't decided.
My tastes in music has changed, listening to punk when I was 14, reggae and jam music when I was 19, and now listen to a diverse range of music from indie to electronica.
I done everything to my hair from dying it multiple colors, perming, growing it long, cutting it short.
Didn't get a driver's license until I was 19
I have 1 brother.
This is who I am, who are YOU?

[geonagual]

Oh shit! I was fucked last night when I made this thread. LOL
A couple things I might add to mine
My dad was an alcoholic too and physically and mentally abusive
I also discovered a love for psychadelics when I was in Germany in the Army. Also drank robo for a few years when I was in the corps. I laugh when I see people post about DXM on here.
I now do sales, sales and more sales. Life is good, I hike a lot, just smoke herb and enjoy my family.
