No I'm not talking about hair, I'm just really interested in everyone's backgrounds, family life etc. Obviously some people won't post for security reasons but you can be as vague or specific as you like I'll start off. My mother had me when she was 19, she had my lil sister Lowri just over a year later then our Dad took off. My Mam remarried Carl, who had two daughters Emma and Rhiannon, Emma was Lowri's age and Rhiannon was 5 years older than me. They had 3 kids together, James, Jacob and Lucy before they seperated for the last time when I was 12. I was then reunited with my birth father who I hadn't seen for 10 years when I was 13 and he and my Mam got back for a short time last year, but he couldn't handle the whole family scenario so he left. But I still see him every week ;D My mother now has a serious boyfriend called Simon and he has 3 kids, Cameron, Jordan and Lauren, all younger than me. So that's my very short and boring life ^^ Anyone else?

Heh. My life story is pretty interesting. ^^; Usually when people ask me my background I shrug and say something like, "All my ancestors were Welsh potato farmers. Cool, huh?" They weren't actually potato farmers. Heh. But my entire background is, for as far back as we can see, entirely Welsh. I'm first generation Canadian, w00t. ^^ So yes. I was born with a twin sister Jen. She's four minutes older than me ( and never lets me forget it ). We also have an older sister Christie, who's five years older than us. We didn't suspect at the time that our parents were unhappy in their marriage. They wanted to stay together until we were old enough to handle a seperation. Our next-door neighbors weren't happy either. They had two kids, Jessica, who is my age and has been my best friend for as long as we can remember, and Jordan, who is three years younger. My dad and their mum, Dawn, kinda became friends and used to talk to each other. ... And then eventually fell for each other. I'm still not sure if that's cute-or-romantic, or sneaky-and-low-down, because I get such different impressions from my parents. So yeah. When I was nine they seperated. Dad and Dawn moved into an apartment. Two years later they moved into a house. One year after that Mum met Andre, her current boyfriend. And the year after that, Dad and Dawn finally got married. w00t. Now it's a year after /that/, so their anniversary is coming up. And everyone seems fairly happy with the current situation. It's a long story, I know.

Well, my parents had my older sister Maria, who is twenty-five (eleven years older than me) when they were twenty-four, and when Maria got to three years old tried for another child. My mum just couldn't get pregnant and they kept trying and trying but then found out that my mum had a coil in her.. It's a long story.
Basically she had one put in, but it didn't work for Maria so she was a bit of a surprise, but then when they tried for another child it started working.
So yeah, I was born when Maria was eleven. Then they had Marga when I was two and a half, as a playmate for me (gee, thanks Mum --; ).
So yeah, that's basically it. My parents are still together, and Maria and her boyfriend Chris are living in our house with many animals.
Indeed.

*head scratch* My mom met my real dad when..well,Iono,but she had me when /she/ was 21. They got divorced before I was born,even, so I know next to nothing about him. She met my stepdad (whom I thought was my real dad for years) and married him less than a month before I was borna nd I lived with my grandparents unti lthey got 'on their feet'. Around my 3rd year,they had a child of their own-my little brother- and when I was 6, I moved in with them. Now I'm here. Oh-Happy day. -_-;

My nationality includes Irish, Scottish, English, Native American, and Scandinavian. =)
My mom got pregnant with me when she was a week from graduating from college. Unmaried. But then my mom and dad got married before I was born and stayed together until I was 3. Then they divorced, and it was really hard on me. I tried my best to keep them together, even though I had no idea what was happening except that my dad was going away. When I was 4 I had open-heart-surgery to fix a hole that was in between the left and right ventricals in my heart. Then when I was 5 my dad remarried to Nida, who is Phillipino. They couldn't have children of their own, so they were going to adopt...if I agreed. Being 7 and an only child, I wanted to stay that way. When I was 11 my mom remarried to James. Which is basically where I am now.

My mom had me really late, she was 38. It's 'cause she's all religious and stuff. I have one older brother named Eric, just one year older than me. I was an "early" accident, they planned to have me later. I was raised in a very nice house, nice car, I had a good life, and I was completely spoiled. Christmas was insane, I got like 20 gifts or more just from my parents. Sadly, my parents fought all the time and eventually seperated. I went with my mom to an apartment and things really changed after that. My mom left my dad, so my dad like got all depressed and lost the house and his job. He even lived back with us for a while, but then he stole money from me -and- my mom, so she kicked him out... twice. After that he moved to Toronto. It was super cramped in the apartment with my brother, so eventually my mom kicked my brother out too when he was 20, and -he- moved to Toronto. I actually haven't seen my dad in like five years now. Me and my mom moved into a cheaper place since then. I had a boyfriend named Nate in Wisconsin and I moved in with him and five other guys for four months when I was 18/turned 19 while there, then he suddenly decided he didn't really love me and I got kicked outta there, back to my mom. Jooooy. I moved out again two years ago, only to find out my roommate was an unstable mental patient who couldn't handle my presence and made me constantly paranoid and very neurotic. Got kicked outta there...Been in the same apartment with my mom since, my brother visits once in a while. Wow, that was so long. >.< And that's leaving out a lot.

Wow, that was so long. >.< And that's leaving out a lot. :-) But you're older than all of us-most by over 10 years. It's expected that you'd have more stuff.

Wow, my story is so mundane compared to you guys. I think my parents must have had me relatively late... My dad was in his late thirties or early fourties, at least. Erm... My mom is Hungarian, so I was introducted to the language most likely before I was introducted to English. My dad is English, so I'm a citizen to there as well. That's about all there is to say.

My story is so mundane, too. I think I'm third or so generation Canadian, my mom's a newfie and my dad's French-Canadian so way back I'm French and Irish, I guess. My mom had me late, my sister Erin is eight years older and I was a total miracle baby. (: My parents are together and we live in the 'burbs, my sister is living in New Brunswick and trying out the starving artist scene. I'm dull.

Hmm, let me see... I'm half Japanese, a fourth German, and the rest is English, Irish, Scottish, and Portuguese. I live an average life in suburbia, Aurora, in Illinois, in the US. My parents divorced around the time I was 4, my dad remarried and had 2 kids Chris and Rachel. I had my appendix burst in 6th grade and not much else has happened since then.

My family is a mix of Scotish, British, German, French, Norwiegen ( I think that is how you spell it ). With a little bit of native american thrown in there some where. But I am Mostly Norwiegen my grandparents on my mums side were 100% norwiegen. I was born in good old Cali, when my mum was 26 and my dad was 27. I lived in california for 5 years and then moved to Oregon, and then finaly we came to rest here in Colorado.

I'm half and half. My dad's Canadian and my mum's English. w00t, 's fun. My dad's always taking the piss out of British tradition. They're together and have been like that for 25 years, so... um, I'm boring. Mum couldn't have kids easily, had IVF treatment and ended up with triplets, so I have a brother and a sister my own age to hang out with and it's cool. (Plus, it means if I forget my homework I can just photocopy my sister's)
We lived in Bermuda until I was five, then moved to Britain and we've lived here ever since. And here I am ;D
