What would you "like to know" about the next poster....

i would rather be deaf.  i work with a deaf student and was intimidated at first but now i'm just amazed at how smart he is and how easy it still is to communicate with him.  i would hate to be blind, just thinking about all the beautiful and wonderful things there are to see in this world.

what was the worse thing you have ever done to anyone?

I said a few bad things (but they were true at the time!) about my best friend, behind her back, to someone that we both knew.  You guessed it... it all went straight back to my friend.
It has been 10+ years, buckets of tears, and countless apologies, and she has still never forgiven me.  :\\\'(
(if you're out there, Lisa... i miss you SO much!)

What would you do if you were 'stalked'?

i was stalked, ugh (as posted in another thread).  if it happened again, i would take legal action sooner.

what is the scariest thing that has happened to you?

My dad worked nights when i was a kid, and because of this, my mom always slept with a gun on the nightstand next to her.  Not something i would do, but this was her... not me.
I woke up in the night,  and decided to go into my mom's room (i was 6 or 7).  I thumped along the hallway, and opened my mom's door and stood there in the pitch black trying to adjust my eyes to see where i was going. 
I then heard my mom stirring and she called out my sister's name, then called out my granny's name.. she never said my name, so  I remained standing there silently.   In the next instant, i reached for the light switch, cos i still couldnt see where i was walking, and as the light went on, i saw my mom sitting up in bed, pointing the gun at me!!

Looking around you in the room, how many IKEA pieces can you see?
