4 of mine are half brothers/sisters though... and we never all lived together at once

Kathy · Post by **Kathy** » 12/18/2005, 7:59 pm

oh, and there's also the fact that I wasn't aware they existed until I was a teenager. That was strange and still bugs me today

xoNoDoubt69 · Post by **xoNoDoubt69** » 12/18/2005, 8:25 pm

aww. i have one half sister i've never met and only found out about accidentally when my parents were arguing one time when i was in 7th grade.. so technically i'd have 6 brothers and sisters i suppose but since i've never met her so i've never really counted her as one.

Kathy · Post by **Kathy** » 12/18/2005, 8:35 pm

do you keep in touch with her at all?

I found out about my 4 half siblings at a funeral for our grandmother. I introduced myself to someone and asked who she was. She didn't know me either, and she said she was one of my dad's daughters. Umm... I almost fell on the floor. It was really awkward. And then she introduced her 3 brothers and sisters who are also my dad's kids.

I'm 24. I own a guitar but don't play it (yet). I've played soccer my whole life. I had to drop out of college due to lack of funds, but have been able to find jobs in my field (politics) so I'm gaining lots of experience. I play a lot of poker. And I'm in love with Lisa Hannigan.

Waited.

Favorite musicians/bands?

OLP!

and also smile empty soul; maybe killradio, fall out boy, and green day, too.

Which OLP song means the most to you?

Hmm. There are a few songs that are very sentimental to me (Somewhere Out There, Picture...) but I think I'd have to go with Out Of Here, Clumsy, Superman's Dead, or Naveed.

Favorite OLP album?

Well, I can't answer this one really because I love songs from all of them, but Clumsy is always in my CD player.. I always go to listen to something else, but it always seems to end up back in my CD player

so I guess it must be Clumsy!

favorite OLP moment? (like a dream, story, concert experience, meeting the band, etc...)

Well, the Massey Hall concert was my second olp concert and I loved it. I was happy for like a week after the concert. It was just amazing.. atleast, for me. I'm usually so shy so it was nice to be able to sing at the top of my lungs (I lost my voice). I'll never forget it

How many OLP shows have you been to?

Two. I can't wait for the next one.

hardcore or softcore?

Hardcore! (?)

Any CMers that you know in real life or have met at a concert? post their usernames

umm... I think maybe I saw some CMers at Massey Hall but I'm not sure.

and finally, is there any other info that you wish to reveal about yourself?

Let's see... I'm a twin... my sister is also an OLP lover, but not nearly as much as I am. I'm very shy... very, extremely shy. I've been coming to CM for almost 2 years (and the hub) but I've never really posted because I always seem to talk myself out of it...

When olp starts touring canada, I'm going to try to go to as many concerts as possible. And hopefully one day I'll get to meet some of you, because none of my friends are big olp fans and find it annoying that I always talk about them

Hi Amanda *waves*

there were quite a lot of CMers at Massey so you probably did see some of us. Who do you think you saw?

Cute_Lillie · Post by **Cute_Lillie** » 1/13/2006, 3:45 pm

um, I'm not sure. I just saw a lot of people and thought they looked familiar... but maybe some of you saw me. I was the short blonde one in the bright pink sweatshirt with my twin sister...

I'm the pink blur near the top-left.

It's good to know that perhaps people only viewing the madness from the outside think we're possibly SEMI-sane.
