          And i sell porn...
          Does Homeland Security know you sell porn
          I thought homeland security would find porn itself a threat to homeland security

              Finally !! We see the hair.......why not join forces with Shaw and get some hair transplanted. You look 100% better with hair.

              I shaved my head when my friend lost her hair during chemo. My head was always cold, so I ended up wearing hats until it grew back.

                  I love books, probably because in my early years, there were no books at home. When I'm in someone's home, I automatically search for their books. If I don't see any, 99% of the time I have nothing in common with the person.

                  What kind of books do you have? I have so many that I group them together...history, psychology, law, medical, first editions, classics, and my favorites......books about the American Indians.

                              I was in the original stage production of Bugsy Malone when I was 11.

                              I also am a magician as a hobby.

                                At the age of 16 I had a load of dirty videos impounded by Irish customs. They sent a letter to our house to expect a visit from Customs and Excise to discuss further action.

                                I spent the next month crapping myself everytime the phone rang or someone knocked on the door.

                                    i also used to have huge issues being in crowds or party situations. actually i also had problems in crowded stores or driving on freeways. my doctor said i had burned myself out from working too hard although i simply told people i had had a nervous breakdown. took me a year to be able to deal with people again.

                                      I'm clean almost 17 years now and yes the pressure of public did contribute to my using . . being clean now allows me to just be who I am and not worry about others percetions of me . . i'm not concerned about being in public for 'work' although I'm at a point now where I'm activly pursuing a more 'reclusive' job .. . however to go out in public for no reason is not something I would do

                                        I used to have an all request radio show on 99.9 SunFM in Kelowna BC.

                                        I actually took Radio Broadcasting in college... where I put the college station onto an mp3 system. It was using cd's and 8 tracks before I got there.

                                            when I was 3yrs old, I was walking home from the store with my mother and 2yr old brother in philly. I saw three little girls run across a busy street all holding hands. They never heard my mother shout stop and all 3 were hit by a car right in front of us. I think all 3 died.
                                            The oldest was carrying a bag of groceries.
                                            I still remember the cheerios strewn across the street.
                                            I'm not a dinosaur, I'm a crocodile. I've seen dinosaurs come and go and I'm left unimpressed.

                                                    5+ years ago I won the jackpot with the UK national lottery, it was called Easyplay if I can recall.. Anyway you had to predict the football teams that would draw.... I matched 8 (the max) and thought I was gonna be rich!

                                                    Trouble was, about 380 people matched the same, and I had to share it...

                                                                            Im one of the very first chathostesses to broadcast live onto a webcam site.

                                                                            In 2003, as I was still chathosting, I had a paying member that spent over 30 000$ in private shows just for me in less then 8 months.

                                                                            At 21 I was able to buy real-estate without any financial help from anybody; and despite the fact that I was into the porn business for 6 years I have never had to suck a cock or have sexual intercourse with a man to achieve that.

                                                                            I was the cover model for the very first layout of the site im now working as an affiliate manager now (that was 6 or 7 years ago) and I have just found out a couple of months ago as I was filing old pictures of our girls.

                                                                            Many of you have seen me naked on many sites and magazines over the years and have no idea.

                                                                                            This was my 1st time dealing with cop's. I had to testify, needless to say I didn't babysit for her any more which at the time sucked cuz she paid me $20 a night, at that age it was good $$ 3-4 times a week.

                                                                                                When I was around 11 years old, my parents took my sister and I to a karate tournament (tae kwon do) in Little Rock, Arkansas. I was a green belt and I competed in the tournament.

                                                                                                I did pretty good. After the tournament, my parents took us to McDonalds. I used the restroom upon arrival. I heard some teenagers coming and they were cursing and being very loud. I got nervous and went into the stall. When they came in, one of the kids dropped a switch blade and it landed slightly under the stall, right at where my feet should have been.

                                                                                                I had my feet slightly elevated so that the kids would not notice me. Unfortunately, the kid that picked up the knife saw my elevated feet and told me to come out. I walked out and he pinned me against the wall. I was terrified. He made fun of me in my karate outfit. Then the group walked out.

                                                                                                I walked out shortly after, trying to regain my composure. As I made way down the aisle, I noticed that same kid (the group leader) was standing outside his booth with his dad. When I walked through, the kid once again stopped me. His dad looked at me and said,

                                                                                                "Pussy kid should learn to fight the real way. Son, you don't need karate, look at that scared piece of shit."

                                                                                                I edged my way by him slightly, feeling like the rule of masses applied. If he did anything to me, a group would surely break it up.

                                                                                                I went back to my table and sat down with my family. My dad took my cheeseburgers away and said,

                                                                                                "You don't eat until you settle that problem. I want you to walk over to that kid and I want you to knock him out in line."

                                                                                                By this time, the kid was in line with his dad. I began to shake and requested that I not perform the task. My mom lobbied for my request. The request was denied.

                                                                                                So I got up from my seat. I approached the kid. I made my way through groups of people, some of which accused me of cutting, and I tapped him on the shoulder.

                                                                                                He turned, he laughed and he pointed, alerting his dad of my presence.

                                                                                                "Hey Dad, look, the karate kid is back for more. He looks like he is going to cry."

                                                                                                That may well have been true. But what he didn't know was that I grew up rough. My dad often made me fight kids that picked on me. I was injured all the time.

                                                                                                So I used a closed fist and I punched him in his mouth, knocking him back into the crowd, drawing a massive and predictable group intervention. I was shoved back and the kid was screaming wiping the slight blood smears from his busted lower lip.

                                                                                                I went back to the table. I sat down and picked up my cheeseburger and began to nervously eating.

                                                                                                "You never let anyone push you around."

                                                                                                About two bites into my cheeseburger, the kids dad approached with his injured son in tow. The son was behind him, rejecting all ideas that he had been taken, yet not stepping in front of his dad.

                                                                                                "I should let my son beat your son's fucking ass."

                                                                                                My dad took another bite of his big mac. And then he glared up.

                                                                                                "Deal. I will send my son outside, I will let your older and stronger son beat my son up. But my son will not quit. But understand, at the same time, I am going beat the shit out of your scrawny ass."

                                                                                                      I did pretty good. After the tournament, my parents took us to McDonalds. I used the restroom upon arrival. I heard some teenagers coming and they were cursing and being very loud. I got nervous and went into the stall. When they came in, one of the kids dropped a switch blade and it landed slightly under the stall, right at where my feet should have been.

                                                                                                      I had my feet slightly elevated so that the kids would not notice me. Unfortunately, the kid that picked up the knife saw my elevated feet and told me to come out. I walked out and he pinned me against the wall. I was terrified. He made fun of me in my karate outfit. Then the group walked out.

                                                                                                      I walked out shortly after, trying to regain my composure. As I made way down the aisle, I noticed that same kid (the group leader) was standing outside his booth with his dad. When I walked through, the kid once again stopped me. His dad looked at me and said,

                                                                                                      "Pussy kid should learn to fight the real way. Son, you don't need karate, look at that scared piece of shit."

                                                                                                      I edged my way by him slightly, feeling like the rule of masses applied. If he did anything to me, a group would surely break it up.

                                                                                                      I went back to my table and sat down with my family. My dad took my cheeseburgers away and said,

                                                                                                      "You don't eat until you settle that problem. I want you to walk over to that kid and I want you to knock him out in line."

                                                                                                      By this time, the kid was in line with his dad. I began to shake and requested that I not perform the task. My mom lobbied for my request. The request was denied.

                                                                                                      So I got up from my seat. I approached the kid. I made my way through groups of people, some of which accused me of cutting, and I tapped him on the shoulder.

                                                                                                      He turned, he laughed and he pointed, alerting his dad of my presence.

                                                                                                      "Hey Dad, look, the karate kid is back for more. He looks like he is going to cry."

                                                                                                      That may well have been true. But what he didn't know was that I grew up rough. My dad often made me fight kids that picked on me. I was injured all the time.

                                                                                                      So I used a closed fist and I punched him in his mouth, knocking him back into the crowd, drawing a massive and predictable group intervention. I was shoved back and the kid was screaming wiping the slight blood smears from his busted lower lip.

                                                                                                      I went back to the table. I sat down and picked up my cheeseburger and began to nervously eating.

                                                                                                      "You never let anyone push you around."

                                                                                                      About two bites into my cheeseburger, the kids dad approached with his injured son in tow. The son was behind him, rejecting all ideas that he had been taken, yet not stepping in front of his dad.

                                                                                                      "I should let my son beat your son's fucking ass."

                                                                                                      My dad took another bite of his big mac. And then he glared up.

                                                                                                      "Deal. I will send my son outside, I will let your older and stronger son beat my son up. But my son will not quit. But understand, at the same time, I am going beat the shit out of your scrawny ass."

                                                                                                      The dad looked at him with confusion. I sat still, feeling the nervous energy a chicken must feel before being released in a chicken pin with 50 thai men waiving bills.

                                                                                                      The dad mustered something under his breath, and then walked away.

                                                                                                      Funny, today, I am not afraid of much. I love being challenged. The things I was scared of as a kid, I am not afraid of as an adult.
