I once read a 587 page book in a day. BOOM.
My oldest brother is the fourth generation of my family to join the military.
I grew up with a dog, two rabbits, a guinea pig, seven fish, four birds, three older brothers, an older sister, all in a one story smaller 3,000 square foot house for 19 years.
I shared a room with my sister for 13 years....brothers all shared a room until they slowly moved out.

I have read the entire fourth Harry Potter book (734 pages) in one day, which happened to be a school day. I have shared a room with my sister (and sometimes a bed when we are traveling) for over 11 years and counting. My favorite book when I was five was Charolette's Web (the novel). I have been in more than half of the States, but I have never been out of the USA or even been within 50 miles of the border.

All the places I've ever visited are Texas (Austin, Dallas, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Fort Worth), Arkansas (Bella Vista, Little Rock, Fayettville, Paris), Oklahoma, New Mexico (Rio Dosa), Colorado (Denver, Copper Mountain), California (San Diego, San Fransico, Santa Barbra, Santa Clara, Palo Alto), Kansas, Missouri, Chicago (stopover flight), Hawaii (Honolulu, Haleiwa), Italy (Rome).
Some of those places (like Little Rock and Santa Clara) we just passed through when we were driving.

Was curious how one would think of a 3,000 square foot house so I searched it up, just presenting what I found. (though you do have an awful lot of family members living in the one house and all the answers to not specify how many family members can fit comfortably in a 3,000 square foot house)

I rounded it, it's somewhere around 3,000 FT 2. About 500 of that was my dad's shop (where he did his wood working) and one of the four bedrooms was a guest room. I actually enjoyed sharing a room with my sister. She didn't though, since she did most of the cleaning.

Our dog Ginger, is 13 years old. He mother was a show dog, according to her death certificate. My mom once lost me in the grocery store. I was just around 2, maybe 3. My oldest brother and my cousin (who was visiting) were about 10 or so, and they were pushing the cart (with me in it) while my mom picked out food. One time, she turned around, and the cart was gone and they were just both standing there. When she asked where the cart was, both boys starts babbling and saying "he was pushing it" and "no, he was pushing it!" So my mom was like, "Where's Katie?!" So they started looking over the entire store for the shopping cart. My mom was about to call the police after awhile when over the speaker she hears, "We found a baby in a basket on Isle 4. If her parents could come and claim her..." They found me munching on cereal. I have no allergies because my mom wasn't Miss germaphobe when we were little. Some parents, when it comes to kids, they basically sanitize everything. Hand sanitizer, no playing in the dirt, no eating bugs or plants, wash your hands ten times a day, disinfect every surface. The thing is, when you sterilize a child's environment like that, they grow up with a weak immune system because they were so rarely exposed to germs. My mom let us eat bugs (we actually didn't do that often ), grass, leaves (not toxic stuff), dirt, let us get super dirty. All of my siblings have great immune systems and don't get sick easily. Me? I haven't been sick in five years.

When I tried archery, I almost shot someone in the face. And that's why I don't ever touch a bow. My friends are extremely weird. xD The highest amount of pizza I ate at a buffet was 27 pieces... (I didn't eat the day before it, because I was extremely sick. xD)

o.o Like six is my record (guessing here).
I can tolerate really spicy stuff. Like I can eat a jalapeno without needing any water or anything. But I don't enjoy spice.
I don't get hyper. I can eat an entire cake and not get a sugar high (although I don't like eating too many sweets- I prefer savory food).
Sunburns don't bother me. They don't itch, or hurt, or anything.
I have very little pain tolerance.
I chew on inedible stuff. A lot. I mean, not pens or stuff, just certain things like straw wrappers, napkins, occasional kleenex, and especially chopsticks/toothpicks.
I want to learn Italian and German after Latin.

I can't remember, since that was a really long time ago...It was because I had a migraine the day before that, and I couldn't eat anything. I felt hungry, but I didn't... That is hard to explain. xD But, I have a pretty big apatite... And I believe I was having a growth spurt at the time.

My brothers and I call our sister "mini-mom" because she's so strict and bossy.
