[Medusa]

Peanut butter - Crunchy or creamy? And would either of you eat it with bananas?

[Linus]

Skippy peanut butter is best . .

*eye twitches* with banana ?

Never thought about putting the two together.

Medusa do you watch american idol ?

Peanut butter with banana and honey/agave is the best. My grandmother used to make triple decker sandwiches for me as a kid like this:

bread
peanut butter
honey/agave/caramel
bread
peanut butter
banana
bread

The stuff was awesome!

If you could travel, where would you go? What is your favourite place to visit or the place you want to visit the most? Why?

[Jesse]

Either creamy or crunchy, but only the organic stuff for me, minus the sugar. Definitely with sliced bananas on a sandwich or scooped onto the top of the banana itself. Love that stuff!

P to the s: It's also good with golden raisins sprinkled on top.

[Words]

Hey Merlin,

Rye here (Sussex).

Nice to see a fellow Brit around.

P.S. Thanks for the work you do - my daughter's PDA (or Pathological Demand Avoidance) so I know how vital it is.

[Apocalipstic]

I am allergic to both peanuts and bananas so no I would not eat either.

Greyson, I love love almond butter and sunflower seed butter!

I do not watch American Idol, I tried during previous seasons, but no one could sing and it hurt my ears.

I do watch So You Think You Can Dance!

[Merlin]

Ah a fellow brit . .

Good day to you ;-)

[LaneyDoll]

Almond butter is just like peanut butter, but trade the peanuts for almonds. I have never had it but have heard that it is divine!!!

[Merlin]

Ok what english bands do you all like ?

... and I gotta go with Duran Duran.

[Martina]

Richard Thompson
Elvis Costello
Billy Bragg
Beth Orton
PJ Harvey
Dire Straights

i love almond butter or raw peanut butter ground fresh at the store. No skippy or anything like that.

i don't watch idol or the dancing shows though an ex did. i had to leave the room unless i was very comfy and lazy. Hearing people talk about idol -- *yawwwn*

(god, i sound like a snob.)

[Laerkin]

Total randomness. I love it.

I second the adoration of So You Think You Can Dance and Duran Duran. Also, almond butter is awesome. You know what else is awesome? Homemade cheese.

True fact.

[TickledPink]

I love all things butter; peanut, almond, the Paula Dean variety, etc. Almond butter is more chocolate-like to me. :chocolate:

I am addicted to American Idol.

My favorite English/British Bands is Dire Straits and, of course, The Beatles! Duran Duran got me through Microbiology class! :blink:

I love wine, wine tastings, all things wine! :wine:

I love live music, singing it, listening to it, playing it!

And don't forget the cherry Chapstick!!!!

[Kätzchen]

I live in the Pacific Northwest (west coast, Oregon)
and it rains a lot here - today we have sunshine though!

EBTG
Adele
Pink Floyd
The Beatles
David Bowie
Elton John
Procol Harem
This Mortal Coil

Merlin, I have a couple of questions for you:

Do you have a favorite place there in England you like to visit often?

Over here, I like visiting the coast and watching people fly kites!
I often attend the kite festival down in Lincoln City
and when 4th of July festivities take place, I like to go downtown Portland to the Blues Festival on the waterfront!


Do you like blues and if so, who's your favorite artist/band?

[Gemme]

Lily Allen
Adele
Phil Collins
Taio Cruz
Joe Cocker
Cathy Dennis
Olivia Newton-John
Rick Astley (I actually like when I'm Rickrolled!)

Peanut butter and banana--YUM! It's a great pre-workout snack.

I prefer creamy but will eat crunchy just as easily.

I love American Idol and SYTYCD (premiers June 26th, I believe) and The Voice.

[Hack]

I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches on multi-grain bread. Love peanut butter on apple slices. Love peanut butter, period. I only eat the natural (low sugar) kind.

English bands/singers - Adele (swoon), Professor Green, Tinie Tempah, Eliza Doolittle, Lily Allen, Ellie Goulding, Muse, Kasabian.

I like to fly kites, mostly deltas, but I have done a little bit with stunt kites.

Who has a random hobby?

[violaine]

Ok what english bands do you all like ?


a lot of 4AD.

are you a fan of steampunk?

[Silverseastar]

I'm Canadian. Tried peanut butter and banana for the first time a few days ago because my Sir insisted it was a travesty I had not. It was better than I expected!

I do eat almond butter regularly on gluten-free toast for breakfast. Yum!

Many brilliant English bands and most I like have been listed. Did someone say The Cure??

:)

Linnea

[AtLast]

Dancing feeds my soul and helps keep me in shape. It's a serious thing to me.

I love fishing, especially fly fishing. Goes along with camping, although I am now at an age that I like RV camping. Well, a small, Class B RV.

Throwing some Grape Nuts into Greek yogurt with blackberries is a new high of mine.

I'm reserved and shy- guess that is something one wouldn't get unless they meet me in person. But, I am good at social conversation.

Cooking for friends and having them in for dinner is something I like to do. I'm a homebody in many ways. I enjoy and am proud of my modest home and like to share it with people I care about.

I'm protective of family/loved ones and my home.

I'm a glass half-full kind of person.

[Kenna]

Good morning all!!
I'm about to rush off for work to make a Provider Visit, so gotta make it quick....

I'm "an old soul"....
and I LOVE cheesecake!

have a great day!! catch up later!

[Gemme]

I thought Livvy was Aussie? Or was that just in Grease :)

Olivia is an Aussie

My random collection - rupert annuals.

Actually, she's not. She's English.

Wiki:

Olivia Newton-John was born in Cambridge, England, to a Welsh father, Brinley ("Bryn") Newton-John, and a German-born mother, Irene Born, the eldest child of the Nobel prize-winning atomic physicist Max Born. Her mother's family had left Germany before World War II to avoid the Nazi regime (Newton-John's maternal grandfather was Jewish, and her maternal grandmother was of paternal Jewish ancestry).[4] Her maternal great-grandfather was jurist Victor Ehrenberg and her matrilineal great-grandmother's father was German jurist Rudolf von Jhering. Newton-John is the youngest of three children, following brother Hugh, a doctor, and sister Rona, an actress once married to Grease co-star Jeff Conaway. Newton-John's father was an MI.5 officer on the Enigma project at Bletchley Park who took Rudolf Hess into custody during World War II.[5] In 1954 Newton-John's family emigrated to Melbourne, Australia, where her father worked as a professor of German and as Master of Ormond College at the University of Melbourne.[6]

[Sparkle]

I hate bananas, but love peanut butter. and almond butter. and nutella.

I have one sister, one brother and two "new-to-me" step-sisters, all younger; I was the first child and the first grandchild in all of my extended families which means I *was* spoiled and I *am* bossy!

I'm a gemini.

do you have any inside jokes with just yourself? i have a tiny king's cake baby positioned on my desk where no one except me can see that he is mooning anyone who cames in my office

[socialjustice_fsu]

One of my pleasures is to wear my tuxedo at least twice a year.. to attend a musical or Opera.. and dine at a fine restaurant with the company of My sweet heart. looking forward to doing this in July.


There is something about the anticipation of such an event as the opera or a musical - learning that is coming to your area - the ticket buying - the planning of attire, and on and on. Sometimes the preparation and anticipation really rivals the actual event, yes?

[Apocalipstic]

I loveeeeeeeeeeee House Hunters International! I DVR it when I can.

Anticipation does rock!

Cookies? anything with no peanuts....total fav. Shortbread biscuits from M&S.

Inside jokes with just me....I have a Super 8 ball on my desk at work and when people ask me dumb questions like how long my boss is going to be on the phone....I hand them the 8 ball. :)

Cookies: i can eat the heck out of some Oreos, but they are actually my LEAST favorite cookie! There's no such thing as a bad cookie!

Oatmeal raisin, White chocolate macadamia, peanut butter, and shortbread take turns at top honors, with a special category all its own for Fig Newtons.

[Kätzchen]

My star sign: Gemini,

I'm second eldest of 6 siblings,

my favorite cookies are homemade chocolate chip/walnut cookies made with Haitian Vanilla (my mother brought me back a case of this vanilla years ago and I'm almost out of it - yummy stuff, umm hmmm - I only use it for special ocassions)

My favorite cake is German Chocolate cake,

I like all types of food, but I favor Mediterranean cuisine.

Did you or someone ask about favorite films or TV shows?

I couldn't narrow down a favorite in film but I could say that
I like shows such as: The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Bones, Dexter.

And British comedy!

Love political satire, the most!

[Merlin]

Am loving all the responses here =]

[Apocalipstic]

It's a great thread Merlin, thank you for starting it!

Cake? What's my favorite? Cake! all cake. Victoria Sponge makes me squeal and clap my hands though, as does Sacher Torte and anything chocolate with raspberry!

Birth order? I am the oldest and pretty typically bossy. lol.

Favorite airline? Virgin Atlantic

Favorite drink in US: Diet Rite Cola, with lots of ice and a straw.

Favorite drink in UK: Lemonade and orange juice mixed with any ice I can get.

[Lynn]

Cool thread--

I am not much of a chocolate fan, but there isn't a type of cake or cookie that I'd refuse except dark chocolate. At the moment, I could go for something lemon. Lemon cake with coconut icing, and lemon cooler cookies. Ummmm.....

Leo, oldest of three, only girl. Not bossy, but I typically get my way. :) Only one to move more than an hour from home. Now I wish I were closer!

Love Indian food most of all, but any ethic cuisine holds my interest.

Love to dance, but don't get to very often. :(

I'm a clinical social worker. I'm a psychotherapist working with nursing home residents by day, and children and families by night.

I have two daughters, 23 and 19. Also have four amazing cats and an elderly border collie/lab mix.

[Gemme]

I have one half brother who is 11.5 years older than me. He defected from the family years ago. I miss my nephews. I wonder how many I have now.

Sweets, yes. Cake, cookies, pie, torts, cupcakes, crepes, etc. I'm not a fan of chocolate by itself but mix it with pb, caramel, coconut or some other equally strong flavoring and I'm good to go.

I love CSI (original best), Bones, L&O, SVU, and other forensics-y shows. One day, I may need to know something I learned from them. :blink:

I love dance. I used to boogie down all the time, but not so much anymore. I've never been a 'dancer' per se, but I have noticed a difference in how I move now versus when I was more bendy.

Through music, all things are possible.

My boss' boss loves me. To pieces. Thinks the world of me. I kinda like that.

Um, what else?

I keep thinking of the scene where Sarah Jessica Parker is introducing herself to her new class in Girls Just Want to Have Fun and she's trying to think of something but finally says, "I looooove to dance!" That scene makes me smile.

I love movies. All kinds, except horror. Funny gorrors (gory light horror flicks), like the Final Destination or Nightmare on Elm Street series are okay though.

I haven't eaten anything of substance today. An apple and some snack bags of chips and that's it. I should probably go do something about that.

[Leigh]

What do you do?

I'm on disability right now for depression but am looking into going to college to pursue a career in computers ....... I use My laptop alot so why not get into a career with something I love already? :-)

Peanut butter - Crunchy or creamy? And would either of you eat it with bananas?

I love both though most of the time we have smooth in the house ~ I have not had a PB & banana sandwich in ages but now I want one :p

Medusa do you watch american idol ?

I haven't watched much this season though I love the show!

If you could travel, where would you go? What is your favourite place to visit or the place you want to visit the most? Why?

I've always wanted to visit Paris, its beautiful there and is just someplace I'd one day love to see ~ this is where I'd love to go on My honeymoon someday :-)

Ok what english bands do you all like ?

I like Blur, Oasis, Adele, Def Leppard, Rolling Stones, The Verve, Joss Stone, Dido, Natasha Bedingfield, Genesis, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, David Bowie, Queen

Who has a random hobby?

I love to cross stitch; haven't done any in awhile but I wanna do a project very soon :-)

How many siblings you all have ?

I have only one sister, Cheyenne, who is autistic but the sweetest little girl ever :jester:

What star sign are you ?

I'm an Aries, pig-headed and stubborn as hell but that's to be expected :)

Do you believe in birth-order theory?
Are you typical of your birth order?

Do you have pets?

I was born first and while I exhibit some of those traits, I'm still a long ways off from being some of what it says I should be ........... I'm a perfectionist but I'm also a nurturer, people pleaser, crave approval, am a caregiver and possess a "grin and bear it" mentality :blink:

My family has two cats, Tigger (boy) and Muffin aka Muffy (girl)

[Lillie]

How many siblings you all have ?

I am one of nine!

my parents together had 3
divorced
my egg doner went on to have 3 more which I only found out about as a teenager when this amazingly pretty teenager sat acroos from me on the public bus and most amazing light brown color and as i stared at her, cause I am a lesbian after all haha, I realized her features were earily similar to mine. same hazel eyes, same mouth, and when I smiled it was like looking into a mirror as she smiled back at me. It freaked us both out. I got off at the next stop ran home and questioned my dad!. he then told me the egg doner went on to have 2 more girls after leaving us. Turns out that beauty sitting accross from me was my 1/2 sister Kim. And after meeting her and my other 1/2 sister Dawn i was amazed by how much we all looked alike.
anywayyyy
dad remarried had 2 more kids
he divorced
remarried had another daughter
the egg doner remarried and had my brother Douglas whom i have never met.

so thats my whole entire disfunctional loving siblings..I love them all! :)

[Hack]

I have two sisters, both younger, married and each with one 4-year old daughter. I have permanent black sheep status in my family. lol

[Merlin]

I'm an Aries and live in a village in South yorkshire.

Liverpool is my birthplace.

[Gayla]

I have a half brother and a half sister but only by law and not by blood. We are not close and never really have been. I'm FB friend's with my brother and my sister and I exchange phone calls or emails a couple of times a year at xmas and birthdays. They are both older, we did not grow up together and have never lived in the same house together although we did travel together a few times a year when I was younger. My family skied often and I have a wall's worth of photos of different configurations of us at the top of the mountain where the pro photographers hit you up when you get of the ski lift.

And, oddly enough, hanging on the wall above my desk is a portrait of my sister and I that we had done by one of the artists on the square during a trip to New Orleans when I was in high school. We look like sisters even though that's not possible. I don't think it looks much like either one of us but I was very young and my hair was very long.

I like cookies but I don't like the eat the same ones all the time.

I also stopped watching television a few months ago when I started using the spare room as an office. I don't miss it. I also don't really listen to music anymore. In the car, if I'm not listening to a ball game, I've got the news channel on so I can hear the traffic reports.

I am a Cancer, and a very typical one. Except when I'm not.

[Martina]

Another Cancer. And an only child. And i have never had children. Can you spell "self-absorbed?" i fight against it, but that's the natural inclination.

My favorite cookie is the cocoa cayenne at Hot Cookie in the Castro, home of the penis shaped cookie. My second favorite are Ginger cookies. i am not eating gluten right now, so no cookies for me. :(

Basically a midwesterner although i live in northern California.

Favorite drink: Diet Grape Soda -- which, it's appalling to relate, cannot be found in the State of California. i miss you, Diet Faygo!

My favorite alcoholic beverage is Bell's Expedition Stout. (also not drinking now, so . . . sigh. i doubt it can be found in California either though i haven't looked.)

My favorite drink that i can actually drink is half fizzy water, half orange juice.

i have two adorable cats. i also would also like a dog, but am too busy. If i got a dog, it would be a Border Terrier. A couple weeks ago, i was sure i wanted a German Shepherd. So who knows what it will be when the day finally comes. Probably an amiable mutt from the shelter.

i love the the ocean, boating (which i haven't done in forever), live music (alt country), and reading. i meditate.

My favorite TV shows from the past are The Wire, West Wing, and Alias. Now i watch In Plain Sight, Bones, Supernatural, Sons of Anarchy, and whatever gets my attention on Netflix.

Which of the arcade games, if any, do you play? i play WOW Connect.

[cara]

I'm an Administrative Specialist. Currently, I support 11 people in 3 departments in 4 locations, which include the Board Office, Consumer Participation, and Resource Line/Transportation Assistance Program. I like my boss and most of my co-workers. I also work very closely with the Board Chair, since I am the Correspondence Coordinator for the Board. That is what I consider one of the toughest of my daily tasks.

I like both creamy and crunchy peanut butter. My mom never bought the kind with sugar in it while I was growing up, so naturally that's the kind I like the most. ;)

I don't have a television so I don't watch American Idol.

I used to live in Edinburgh, Scotland and if I could travel anywhere, it would include a stop there. I would also like to visit New Zealand, Thailand, Petra, Italy, and...well...I love to travel so anywhere is fine by me. :)

My favorite British bands are: Depeche Mode, The Cure, Texas, Robbie Williams, Dead Can Dance, and many more.

My newest random hobby is hula hooping. I am also a letterboxer, artsy-craftsy, and a classically trained singer.

I have one older brother. He's married, lives about 300 miles away, and his wife just gave birth to my very first niece!

I'm a pisces and pretty much reflect everything I have ever read about the astrological sign.

I think the birth order theory is interesting, but I'm not 100% convinced it's the only one worth paying attention to when it comes to siblings and all that. I'm the second-born and youngest in my family.

I live with one bossy but skitterish Molly :cat:.

:stillheart:

[Merlin]

I have ten chickens.
Two cats.
A dog.
And three fish lol.

[Gráinne]

I'm a typical Aquarius-strange, individual, dreamer, contrary, brilliant ;)

Very much youngest of four. I had three brothers; the two oldest are deceased.

Grew up in Ohio, but have lived in Arkansas for a decade.

I am a science teacher, secondary schools

I see your peanut butter with bananas, and raise you PB on celery, with raisins (my mother would call this "ants on a log").

I rarely watch television, unless it's classic movies, documentaries, public television, or sports :P.

I will go absolutely anywhere. I'm not much for beaches but you could twist my arm ;). Russia, way out in front, followed by Ireland, Scotland, the rest of England (I only saw London quick and the Midlands), China (again), really anywhere I can learn and grow.

God, I'm old: The Hollies, Herman's Hermits, any of the British Invasion, Doves, Def Leppard, Zepplin-you name it. Some bands I loved for years before realizing they were British.

I play chess, once for competition but now just for fun.

[Trishagee]

Great thread for a lurker... easy to post once and hide again ;)

I am a manager of Homeowner Associations... the person that is most hated when you live in one! I live in Los Angeles but was raised in the O.C. (prefer LA though!)

Although not a big fan of peanut butter, I do like a bit once in a while with an apple or with chocolate, always creamy!

I am a Scorpio...

I do watch Idol, but now that everyone I like is gone, I am done!

I am pretty boring with my music tastes... I like old stuff, does Shirley Horn count, she lived in England ;) I guess if I had to pick a band, I would say Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd and of course the Beatles! Currently I am enamored with Adelle!

I love to travel, but haven't traveled much in last 7 years, I have been about everywhere north of the equator... time to travel South, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil!

I am the oldest of 4 and a true oldest child, I totally believe in birth order theories... I have a take charge personality, which could be the Scorpio influence also... or it could be that I was also an only child for 8 years before the next was born... who knows!

I love to cook and garden.... but I have to say my favorite hobby is to shop!!!

Steampunk... I love the boarderland series... does that count???

[Gemme]

I am Gemini.

Not 'a' Gemini.

Gemini.

Maybe even 'THE' Gemini.

99% of what you read about Geminis is true for me. Most of the time. Give it a minute and things will change. It's appropriate that I'm an air sign because my moods come and go like the weather.

I love cats. I like dogs. I really like guinea pigs and hamster types of cute fuzziness. I don't care for birds as pets, but I do like watching wild fowl. I don't like bugs or creepy things as pets. That's wrong on many levels. And creepy. Wrong and creepy.

At this very moment, I'm eating Keebler's Fudge Shoppe Coconut Dreams cookies, which is their answer to the Girl Scout's Caramel Delights aka Samoa cookies. They are yummy and found year round in the cookie and sweets aisle.

I may really like immediate gratification too.

:eyebat:

I love any kind of nut butter. Splattered on good bread, sliced nanner, drizzle of honey or if I'm feeling like a real glutton I'll skip the honey and add chocolate. Not that fake stuff but a chuck of really good chocolate, shaving it over the nut butter.

I love growing things. I have a farm. Everyday I walk out, grab some strawberries, pop them in my mouth. They feel a live and I feel like such a cannibal. If I'm hungry I might stroll by my garden beds, grab a handful of sugar snaps, eat them.... pick a baby cuke and pop it in my mouth. I'm like god-fucking-zilla towering over my little garden world chomping away. lol

I love animals, especially dogs, more then people. I would rather sit outside on my porch, watch them run and play, drink a glass of wine and do nothing, more then going to a club or almost anywhere else. I love all dogs- spoiled, needy, big, small.

[Sachita]

and I'm a grandmother to an amazing little girl named Mia Bella.

How many grandmothers we have here?

[Merlin]

I don't have any children. My girlfriend has two.

[Merlin]

My family are all catholic,

I'm not even christened.

[Leigh]

I was born Roman Catholic :|

[sweetfemme247]

Half my family is mormon and the other half is christian, I believe in god but right now I dont know what I am.

[deb_U_taunt]

I work in Fraud Forensics. I attempt to save people from themselves and keep con-artists from preying on our customers.

Crunchy peanut butter and baloney. Don't knock it, until you try it..lol.

I don't watch Idol.

Beatles junkie. All the first songs I learned to play on the guitar were Beatles songs and wearing an old Beatles t-shirt, right now.

I love to road trip and have been all over the US and Canada.

I love to cook. I am a homebody.

My sweetie and I have 5 kids, 2 grandsons and 3 mutts.

[Sweet_Amor_Taino]

There is something about the anticipation of such an event as the opera or a musical - learning that is coming to your area - the ticket buying - the planning of attire, and on and on. Sometimes the preparation and anticipation really rivals the actual event, yes?
Absolutely !!
Its a romantic high:rrose:

[Scorp]

I am officially married!

Beautiful weekend in P-Town. Everything went well and was just a gorgeous weekend all around. My bride was breathtaking and the whole weekend was just amazing!

I put some pics up in the gallery and created an album.

Thanks again to those of you who wished us well!

Best,

-Scorp-

[Quintease]

I live in the UK, I wasn't born here, I'm engaged to be married, I have several crazy exes, I'm a hoarder, I love shoes, I'm close to my mother, I don't show up on Google, I love animals and I've never had short hair :D

[foxyshaman]

I really enjoy this site. I tend to read lots and post... not too much.

I am Canadian :canadian: and where I live the snow is finally gone. We are very dry already, which is kinda good cause then there is less standing water for those pesky skeeters. But May long is this weekend and that generally means "snow storm" which really is horrible because it breaks so many branches that poor trees are just starting to bud now. I hope that is not going to happen this weekend.

I have no odd hobbies. I do have odd practices, such as compassionate depossession, curse removal, soul retreivals (not really odd but not too common).

I love coffee
I love eritrean food
I love watching baseball - pitching fascinates me (I record it and FF through the stupid crap - which brings a game down to like 2 hours instead like almost 4) (Yeah Jays!!!)

[Lynn]

We're engaged, also. Planning a fall wedding!

I don't know much about Steampunk, but apparently, I'm having Steampunk elements in my wedding. Or, so says my daughter about the vintage brooch bouquets.

I have a small house in an older neighborhood. There are lots of trees, which makes it feel like we're in the woods, which we love.

Love thunderstorms and clear blue skies, equally.

I love our animals--4 cats and a dog. I never lived with dogs before and thought I didn't care for them. But, there is nothing like getting to know a smiley dog! I am just melted by any pictures of smiling dogs. xxoo

[Merlin]

It's been really windy here,we have had a two week heatwave forcast for the weekend. Get the ice creams ready lol.

[Gayla]

We still have rain and cold, although the weather people say we may see 70 by the end of the week. I could use a couple of days of drier and a little warmer but I don't really care about actual sunshine. I do care about the various things that are blooming right now and I wished to hell they would stop. I haven't been able to breath for a couple of days and I'm getting really tired of sneezing.

[Apocalipstic]

Am not married and never have been, kinda would like to be someday?

I love the Steampunk look, but am too old to be that trendy lol.

It is supposed to rain the next 10 days here. UGH. But it is unseasonably cool, which is good!

[Trishagee]

It's rained for 2 days here, and was 90+ the week prior... it's crazy weather for May... makes you believe in global warning.

I had a very scary accident in the rain 12 years ago and went through the windshield... been scared to drive in the rain since then... glad it's clearing up.

I also love cream soup... potato, tomato, clam chowder.... guess today would be a good day for it!?!

[Gemme]

I love eritrean food


I had to look this up.

See for yourself HERE! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrean_cuisine)

[Merlin]

I had a very scary accident in the rain 12 years ago and went through the windshield... been scared to drive in the rain since then... glad it's clearing up.
!

Scary .. You ok ? Things like that are unsettling.

[Lynn]

We have spiders, a mole in the basement, and I think there's a birds' nest in the chimney. (I'm in various stages of doing something about it). I'm not really scared or creeped out by any of it.

My ex-husband is getting remarried, and we're going to the wedding. We have a decent relationship, but it's going to be weird. Hope I don't get emotional.

I was enrolled in nursing school, but I changed my mind. I realized that I would be at least 61 by the time I reached my goal of being a nurse practitioner. I already do what I love, so why go through that? Not to mention, the loans. :(

[Merlin]

I suffer from sleep apnea ..

[Quintease]

My ex-husband is getting remarried, and we're going to the wedding. We have a decent relationship, but it's going to be weird. Hope I don't get emotional.

I was enrolled in nursing school, but I changed my mind.

Gosh, I like you!

I have a birds nest above my boiler and I LOVE it! I love hearing them cheeping in the morning.

My soon-to-be husband and I were considering going to visit my ex-wife. On reflection I realised it was too weird and cancelled.

My mum comes from a long line of nurses and matrons. Could I be a nurse? No, my mother was very firm about that. Now I wish I had. There is a lot of cool places you can go with a nursing degree.

[lipstixgal]

I suffer from sleep apnea, asthma and firbromyalgia. My partner has similar problems like bad arthritis and tendinitis in right arm from tennis. I love coffee, exotic foods!!

[T4Texas]

I am an only child. I have a severe case of only child syndrome which means sometimes being self centered and wanting things my way. Oddly enough, my first two GFs were also only children. Boy was that a match.

I have been out since 1974 (aged 17), so for 37 years now.
There have been only 3 serious relationships in my life, 15yr, 8yr and 2yr. Three strikes and youre out *laughs*

Sometime around my mid 40s, I did a reversal of lifestyle, sold my Harley, changed jobs, quit drinking and smoking pot, even stopped wearing blue jeans.

I love all things artistic. I am a painter and a photographer, love architecture and travel.

I have written poetry since high school. Many of my closest friends have no Idea about it.

I am a cancer survior. 6 years now.

I love black and white movies and collect silent films.

My musical taste runs to about everything excluding rap and some types of jazz. My favorite is probably the blues.

I play the piano a little.

I'm one of those people you either like me or you don't, theres no inbetween.

[uglyboi]

Um let's see,

Beasley and I have been together 6 years.

My hair starting turning white in the 6th grade.

I have a dry sense of humor.

I hate text messages. I grew up without such foolery.

I spent my 27th birthday at Chuck E. Cheese. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Netflix was my idea. I just can't prove it.

I am of the firm belief that if you make a late night trip to the Waffle House, or some other all-night establishment, and walk away without an epic story to tell, you wasted a trip.

Of all the different types of cookies in the world, Snickerdoodles are, by far, the greatest.

I grew up in Tennessee, lived in Kentucky, Georgia, and North Carolina.

My taste in wine has gotten better over the years, but I still couldn’t tell you the difference between Burgundy and Bordeaux.

In 2005, I decided I wanted to buy a building every year. I am behind schedule, but it’s still my goal.

I get pissed off when people confuse "redneck" with "white trash." THEY'RE NOT THE SAME!!!

I am 5 years older than Beasley.

I saw "Star Wars" the first weekend it opened, when it was first released in 1977.

Received a college degree at the age of 32.

Beasley's nickname is Lolly.

I am one of three kids.

That is all for now. :byebye:

[Merlin]

I am eating coco pops for tea lol .. =]

[proximitywithoutintimacy]

I've been a bit MIA lately... :/

Currently, I'm still in school... pursuing my LCSW... and booking photography gigs on the side ;)

I'm now "involved" with a woman, who might just be everything I've always wanted...

I'm sick right now, and yet still going out tonight. I have trouble taking care of myself properly.

:)

[Kenna]

I like living in a place where there are no sounds or noise made by humans....
I prefer to listen to sounds made by Mother Nature rather than human-made ear-drum-busting noise like traffic, trains and inconsiderate humans blasting their surround sound ALL night long....

[Stud_puppy1991]

Hi Merlin. let's see...I'm new, i hale from Indiana, i'm a college student studying criminology, i'm a future private investigator, i've been to Hawaii twice, i write, i compose, i sing, i do video blogs, i'm weird, etc.

[deb_U_taunt]

I have stepped foot in all 50 states.
I never sleep with anyone. until I have danced with them (the rhythm test lol).
I love rockabilly.
I am a neat freak according to friends.
My favorite color is yellow.

[Merlin]

I also love cream soup... potato, tomato, clam chowder.... guess today would be a good day for it!?!

La Madeleine's Tomato bisque!!!

I have written poetry since high school. Many of my closest friends have no Idea about it.

i wrote poetry obssessively from age 14 to 26. then i went on zoloft. nothing since then

I hate text messages. I grew up without such foolery.

i grew up without it, too, but i now believe it's why phones were invented!!!

I'm sick right now, and yet still going out tonight. I have trouble taking care of myself properly.


i am on antibiotics but i had 3 beers last night. oops

I like living in a place where there are no sounds or noise made by humans....
I prefer to listen to sounds made by Mother Nature rather than human-made ear-drum-busting noise like traffic, trains and inconsiderate humans blasting their surround sound ALL night long....

i drive people crazy b/c i am not interested in nature at all. mostly because i find nature benign. i like to focus all of my studying/traveling/listening energy on human culture because forewarned is forearmed
I love rockabilly.


YouTube - &#x202a;I Like Whisky by Hillbilly Hellcats&#x202c;&rlm;

[Merlin]

I have recently read about the Krays and east London gangland from the sixties onwards.

[Tcountry]

I adore Stone Butches
I've lived in the Washington DC area all my life
Last May I moved to SC
I adore my 4 kitties
My best friend is a Butch

[Merlin]

Butch
Live with my girlfriend of two years in England
In a place called yorkshire

A four year old and a six year old,
Am an Arian ..
favourite food is spaghetti bolognese or Sunday dinner.

Love red wine which we like to drink lots of lol ..:wine:

We enjoy having friends round and lighting the fire pit in the back yard ..

One of my bezzies (best friend) is making me a godparent ..

[deb_U_taunt]

I tell my partner the only reason I married him is because my dog took to him.
He says the only reason he married me, because I drive a Ford.
Last night he locked the keys in my Ford, while it was running, because I had to stop to see how much a 1960 Chevy Belair was going for. lol
We laugh all the time.

[uglyboi]

I have a southern accent.

I have been attacked by a pig, because I have a southern accent.

I was born a month after my due date.

I don’t trust people very often or very easily.

There are many things I find amusing that most people don’t.

When my niece was three, I took her to see Sesame Street Live. In the middle of the show, Big Bird’s eye fell off and rolled across the stage. All of the music and singing is pre-recorded, so the singing and dancing continued as Ernie chased Big Bird’s eye, to the accompaniment of hundreds of small children screaming.

I like my steaks medium rare.

My dad calls me Guido.

Beasley's purse weighs about 5 to 10 pounds most days.

[Queerasfck]

I hate small paper clips. I throw away small ones when they are on documents given to me. I only use LARGE!

[Queerasfck]

I enjoy the music of American pianist, composer and music producer Burt Bacharach.

[Mister Bent]

I hate small paper clips. I throw away small ones when they are on documents given to me. I only use LARGE!



See, this is where we differ.

I prefer small paper clips, until large ones are absolutely necessary, followed by small binder clips. I believe in the hierarchy of such things.


Mom said you always took the bigger piece of pie, too.

[Gemme]

I'm not a size Queen. In reference to paper clips, of course. I use what the situation calls for and be done with it.

I have tried to like fancy tea but I can't. Herbal teas are horrific and no amount of milk or sugar helps.

Our refrigerator door makes this funny "er er errrrrr" sound as we close it.

I get the holiday and the next day off. I like official weekends, even when they don't fall on Saturday and Sunday.

I live with Ebon. No kids. No pets, except for the wild dove (I call her Sadie) that comes around every few days to sit (and crap) on our patio furniture.

[moxie]

Let's see...

I am not a paperclip elitist like E. I like all shapes, sizes and colors.

I do not have a Southern accent, despite what people with whom I have never spoken say.

I have been allergic to peanut butter since high school, I wish I could have a peanut butter and grape jelly sammich on Butternut white bread but I feel like breathing.

I can't watch anything remotely sad or I will start bawling. However, someone can tell me face-to-face something atrocious and I will not cry.

I really want a cat and someone to clean the litter box for me. I have never had a pet.

I am addicted to these chili lemon crackers, please someone take them away from me before I eat them all.

[Queerasfck]

I think Fabreze is a waste of money.

[hpychick]

I'm not a devil worshiper.

I can be a little devilish sometimes, and I can worship certain things/objects. But, does that make a devil worshiper? I don't think so.

(Not that I have anything against devil worship - I'm just not in that religious zone.)

[dixie]

Contrary to popular belief, I neither am a devil worshiper.

I am more spiritual than religious.

I am vicious and vengeful when wronged.

I don't like tea, hot or cold, but can drink it.

I have an absurd obsession with office supplies.

It's extremely hard for me to pass up Reeses cups if offered.

I hated kid stuff when I was a kid but now have an absurd obsession with Hello Kitty.

I would rather have died than wore pink OR sneakers when I was a teenager, now everything I own is pink and I hardly wear anything other than sneakers.

I was raised as a boy which sometimes makes me wonder yet sometimes explains why I turned out so feminine in some aspects.

I live in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere and cows frequently roam thru my front yard.

I have the most awesome 13 year old son I could ever ask for, even though he is as big a dork as his mother.

I was adopted by a hotdog-loving stray cat more than 2 years ago.

I'm an only child. The doctor told my mother I was due in May but ended up born in July because country doctors didn't believe in inducing labor. (Much to my mother's displeasure obviously.)

I have only ever had one true best friend in my life. Despite years of great friendship and being bonded to them on so many different levels, they are no longer part of my life.

I love deeply, passionately and hard. I have loved many but only two have ever taken my whole heart.

I am very clumsy and tend to misplace things easily.

I buy a new (better) camera every few months.

I will not eat crunchy peanut butter.

I love yard sales, thrift stores and flea markets because you can find some of the most unusual things at those places.

[Mister Bent]

I not only heat, but scald the milk for my coffee each morning.

In a pan.

[Queerasfck]

I drink my coffee daily.
From a mug.

[Softly]

I haven't smoked in 2 months :D
I lost 13 pounds in a month and a half [so far] :D
My hair is awesome
I got wrinkles all of a sudden - since turning 31 :\
I do not like talking on the phone :phonegab: :blink:
I like reading young adult books :[ HUNGER GAMES <3

[Mister Bent]

It's way past my bedtime.

[Gemme]

Mine too, and I have to work tomorrow.

Bah.

At least it's only a half day.

[femmedyke]

I have weird dreams about my teeth falling out. It really freaks me out.

[Gemme]

I have weird dreams about my teeth falling out. It really freaks me out.

I couldn't find anything about them falling out, but I did find this:

Teeth

To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.

To dream that your teeth is gleaming, signifies happiness and fulfilled wishes.

To dream that you are brushing your teeth, refers to your level of confidence, your struggles and your aggressiveness. You need to look out for yourself and your own interest. Perhaps, you feel that your position is shaky.

Wisdom Teeth

To dream about your wisdom teeth, indicates new or emerging knowledge. You are learning something new about yourself. Alternatively, the dream may be telling you to act more smartly about a situation. Make sure to think things through clearly.

[AtlantaButch824]

I make banana sandwiches with mayo and creamy peanut butter

[tantalizingfemme]

I have weird dreams about my teeth falling out. It really freaks me out.

OMG.... Me too!! It seems so real that I wake up in a panic and start feeling for all of my teeth with my finger and/or tongue. This is the meaning I have always heard for this:

"Dreaming of teeth falling out may represent insecurity. These dreams often occur at a time of transition between one phase of life and another. When we lost our milk teeth, we also gradually lost our childhood innocence. Loosing your teeth therefore show that today you have similar feelings of uncertainty and self-consciousness as you did in childhood."

[Merlin]

:vigil: I don't like horror movies !!

[Glenn]

I just woke up sitting on the toilet.

[rainintothesea]

I can tell some types of paper in old books apart by smell... there's a kind of Holland paper that smells like cocoa as it ages and decomposes, for instance.

That's a leftover skill from my best job ever: assistant to a rare book dealer.

[Trishagee]

I hate my job!

I really hate my job!

I really really hate my job!

I hope the economy gets better soon!

LOL sorry I am normally pretty positive but today has been a tough day!

ps... I also hate Broccoli!

[greeneyedgrrl]

i miss peanut butter banana samiches! grilled ones are yummy too! usually i like crunchy best, but since i got my ugly betty's... creamy is better.

i have 3 bros and 2 sis's, i'm the second kid and the first girl. i'm really close to all of them.. even tho we're spread all over the west coast.

i have a 10 year old who is amazing, bright and has a hilarious sense of humor (which she get from me obviously!) :D

i work with low-income infants and toddlers and i love my job, but hate the politics and that my boss keeps trying to shove me back into the closet.

if i could go anywhere it'd be brazil, or bolivia. i want to learn spanish and i have friends there. plus brazil is sposed to have a rockin public transit system.

right now i'm in love with adel. :)

i don't have tv, i only watch netflix so no idol for me, but i do get to watch a lot of foreign films, documentaries and indie films which i think is pretty fantastic.

[Merlin]

My favourite food is italian.

[Mr Nice Guy]

I'm an old fashioned butch with a hidden bad boi side. ;)

[Merlin]

After a manic moment I shaved my head - I blame the full moon !!

[Merlin]

^ kind of like new beginnings ??

I call it my summer cut .. Only thing is it's no longer swing bop ding my hair .. More zing !! Lol :canadian:

[Daywalker]

I got a trim once a couple years ago.
Other than that...no hair has been cut in like 6 years.
:praying:


The only time I will cut mah hair...is to make
a wig if'in I ever found out I was gonna lose it.
:shocking:

:|

:daywalker:

[princessbelle]

My hair is at a real weird stage right now.

It is too long to hold curl.

It is too short to just leave uncurled.

I keep getting the "don't you dare do it" to the idea of a spiral perm.

I wear it in pony tails a lot expecially at work and i'm tired of it.

I just wish it would grow or get curly overnight or get a job or something.

[Soft*Silver]

My hair is coloured red, except in the front and its jet black. This is about to change. I am having it all dyed vivid red again, and having platinum blonde highlights put in it.

I have a truck to beat all trucks now. 1998 chevy C3500 dually extended cab, fully loaded with every option. Picked it up for a song. traded in my Tracker plus money to get it. Its nice than any truck I have ever ridden in!

I have shaved my head several times in my lifetime. On purpose. And I probably will again someday...

I bought some dresses for myself the other day. I cant believe this is my body. I have lost so much weight! And these dresses look HAWT...

I love red licorice and red fish candy

I plan on going to San Diego to visit my sub's family, this fall or next spring

I make the best pesto out of all my friends!

[Merlin]

I have lost a stone in weight in the last couple of months . . I feel good.

[kannon]

I've lost about 20 lbs over the last year and a half. I've workout all my life for an hour or 2, 4 or 5 times a week. I was encouraged to exercise and participate in sports as a youngster. I always thought I would play on the penn circuit after graduating from college. So, I've always worked out and participated in sports.

Someone invited to play catch football at the park several months ago. I was frickin' huffing and puffing after a chasing down a few balls. I realized how out of shape I am.

[StrongButch]

I am left handed, love to cook and bake,love animals, keep my house clean and only like hockey and baseball and prefer to be at the game.

[Sarafemme]

I work at a public library (a job I love), and also as a freelance newspaper writer

I have a bachelor's degree in English.

I grew up on a farm and currently live in a small town but have city-girl sensibilities.

My favorite color is pink.

I have an addiction to mocha lattes. And Richie Sambora's solo music (yes, he does have 3 solo albums out there and they are blues-rock style and wonderful).

My favorite time of year is Christmas, and my Christmas tree ornaments color-coordinate with my family room decor LOL.

I adore fashion and shopping secondhand for a unique look.

[GPS]

lost 210 lbs
went on a shopping spree to American Eagle
cause, I could never wear clothes like that
i'm over educated
and under paid lol
but im completely happy with my complete transition

[Ginger]

Ok what english bands do you all like ?

Turin Brakes, Badly Drawn Boy.

(Perhaps you can suggest a couple more? I'm always looking for new music.)

Do you (Merlin or anyone), live near or with family members?



(Not sure if I'm doing this right...)

[Smiling]

I'm a closet Hall & Oates fan. And if you call me out on it in public, I will casually deny it (not vehemently, though; because when you do that it looks like it is true, lol) because <I can't go for that, lmao> I'm far too young and too cool to listen to them, lol. God, I hope no one ever steals my iPod or I'll be humiliated!

I really wish I had an ant farm, except I won't buy one because I think they are inhumane. I just picture all those tiny little consciousnesses imprisoned for the amusement of little kids who don't know any better and adults who just don't care. (Also, I think ant farms generally only contain something like 6 months worth of sustenance so what happens to them once the food runs out?)

Today is weird because I have just enough money for coffee, but not enough gas in my car to go get it (it's within walking distance, but that will be one dang long walk, lol). I get paid later today, so I'm trying to ride it out. I can wait, but having the first coffee of the day in the afternoon isn't the same.

I'm excited for my plans this weekend.

[uglyboi]

I can talk nonsense for hours. Every morning the first thing Beasley says to me is, "Here we go".

I am simultaneously the nicest and meanest person you'll ever meet.

If I don't see an important person through the day, I will wear the same clothes tomorrow.

I don't eat anything with loaf in the title. No telling what's ground up in it. It gives me a easy-queasy feeling in my stomach.

Beasley will be home soon so I can start talking again.

I hate to grocery shop. I will dislocated both of my shoulders to get all the groceries inside in one trip.

When both my socks match it feel like I've got it going on!

I am a goal-oriented person. Short-term, long-term, mere dreams… I have no direction or sense of purpose without a goal in mind at all times.

The other day I asked my mother what she remembered about me growing up and she said, "Nothing." *L*

[TheLoneStranger]

I'm a closet Hall & Oates fan. And if you call me out on it in public, I will casually deny it (not vehemently, though; because when you do that it looks like it is true, lol) because <I can't go for that, lmao> I'm far too young and too cool to listen to them, lol. God, I hope no one ever steals my iPod or I'll be humiliated!

On April 10th, 2014, Hall and Oates will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Brooklyn's Barclays Center alongside Nirvana and Kiss. :)

[Mormegil]

Ive lost 20 lbs so far and plan to lose some more.

I love music and listen to 80s New Wave alot. Music is one thing that can always make me feel better or calm me down after a stressful day.

I'm a hopeless romantic that has never even been on a date. Due to severe social anxiety most of my life that made it impossible. After much soul searching and hard work over the last few years I can now say I have slain the anxiety beast , although sometimes it twitches.

I find myself in a constant state of self discovery as of late.

I'm a storyteller a dreamer and sometimes a trickster. Like the time I took the battery out of the price gun at work just to watch my manager yell and search the store for like 15-20 mins until she magically found it under her desk in her office. She spent the rest of the day wondering how it got there because she knows I would never waste time at work like that...right? lol

[Kätzchen]

I'm not as outgoing as I once used to be. My social circle is rather small and I am okay with that.

I like shopping for unique, not so popular styles of clothing and accessories. I actually can't stand popular brands of clothing because I just don't identify with that kind of thing. I like unusual materials, patterns, prints and lean more toward simplicity in style.

That said, I prefer colors like black or shimmering shades of violet, blue and pale shades of pink or rich shades of browns or coral tones. I'm fairly fussy about the color red, too. It has to be a tonal shade that is warm and not too cool.

I love summer, can hardly stand winter these days.
I guess I could go on, but long warm summers, thunderstorms, pearly skies or days of dazzling sunshine make my heart smile.

I also only date people I have come to know in life here at home. Life's too short.

And I've come to see that some clichés aren't too far from the truth. Time really does fly.

[Shystonefem]

I have three sons. The youngest is 22. I also have 3 granddaughters.

I have been "out" for 21 years.

I never weigh myself, however, I do measure my waist, hips, etc regularly.

I am really a free spirit and have come to realize that I cannot deal with people who try to set rules for me or critique' my life.

I will not stay at a job that I don't like and I am rarely worried about getting a new job.

I was a very solitary person after my divorce, I needed and enjoyed it. I am starting to engage life again.

I, recently, went back into business for myself and obtained a few clients. I am at my best when I work for myself.

I left rescue (the think I love the most in this world) for a long time and I am, finally, getting back into it. I am hoping to foster a pregnant mom soon.

I have a huge heart, sometimes too big.

I love who I am and I refuse to allow anyone, ever again, to try to change me. Like me for who I am or move on.

I really love The Planet.

[ferret]

I'm left handed, and my mom had a hell of a time teaching me to tie my shoes when I was little.
I'm the middle child.
My favorite color is blue.
I took piano lessons growing up and played in band.
My favorite music is 80s, but I'm a huge Duran Duran fan. Don't judge me!
I typically like "girly" things - painting my toenails, bubble baths,
baking.
I have a soft spot for animals, and often prefer their company to that of people.
I'm both incredibly loyal and sensitive, and both of those things can get me into trouble.
At one time, I wanted to be a writer.

I am also left handed! The old wives tale is that left handed people are evil. LOL

I've heard the saying about lefties are the only ones in their right minds.

I'm also left handed. A few years back I was doing research on epigenetics and homosexuality. Several times I read that there is a correlation between the two. They are both epigenetic, as are hazel eyes, which I also have. Whole lotta epigenes up in this body. :cheesy:

(At least that's the conclusion the majority of papers I read came to.)

[girlin2une]

i am also left handed... and i read that too ferret!
although my eyes are green, sometimes they appear to be hazel...

[Orema]

Another lefty here and it looks like I'm in good company.

:bow:

I'll raise those green eyes you have with my baby blues :)

oops... i think i thought job's post was yours... i read a similar article as the one that job spoke of...

but ferret... sometimes my eyes even look blue! (although not baby blue!) :)

[girlin2une]

I'm ambidextrous!

In a way, i am ambidextrous as well... I was forced to be right handed as a child (I know... how archaic... i am actually not that old...) so I can actually write equally well with both hands... I am dominantly left with everything else.

Small world! The exact same thing happened to me, except that my hand writing sucks regardless of which hand I use. I attended elementary school back in the mid 60's and was forced to sit with my left hand behind my back, or else suffer a whack on my knuckles with a wooden ruler. Needless to say I was whacked on the knuckles often.

Today, I do most things left handed, with the exception of writing.

Similar experience here. Force use right hand and I do everything with my right hand, but write.I can write with right hand, but not as well as my left hand. I have nice penmanship, but nothing to write home about :giggle:

Same damn thing happened to me too, the epic whack on the left hand knuckles. I write right handed, but I can do that left also. I do things left and right handed. I play put put golf lefty and throw softball righty and catch lefty.
I'm ambidextrous and pretty even handed in strength.
I thought I was the only one that happend to in 1st grade when I was in school. The damn teacher said if I used my left hand it was the Devil's hand and he'd have hold over me. Needless to say, I was whacked many many times lol. My dad is left handed too.

I also have ocean blue eyes just like my dad. :)

[Chad]

I am right handed (I feel like I should apologize for that). I have hazel eyes (blue/green). I am polite, respectful, and easy to get along with. I am intelligent, silly, and mushy.

I like old movies and conversation. I love animals wild and domestic.

The kitties and I think that I am funny.
:cowboy:

[randrum]

Funny to read about all you ambidextrous people, because the same thing happened to me. Except it was my grandparents who forced me to write right handed.

Then I broke my right arm in 6th grade and picked up using my left hand to right real quick. Now I switch off because it confuses people.

I say my eyes are green. But they tend to "change" color depending on what I'm wearing, lighting, etc. But stay within a blue/green/grey range.

[BullDog]

Wow, so interesting to see all of the lefties/ambidextrous people here. My parents are both right-handed, but I am left-handed and my two brothers are as well, so I grew up with it feeling pretty normal and no one at school tried to force me to write or do anything else with my right hand. So I am lefty all the way and not ambidextrous- which would be cool but not cool of people to try to force right-handedness!

[Bèsame*]

My mother is left handed. She tried to teach me to knit, and crochet when I was young. eEpic fail! Lol...it took us a while to realize if I sat across from her and copied was the best way. Really , that was the only thing unusual. I never realized any other differences . I suppose we adapt as we go.

Funny though, my two past long time relationships, have been lefties. Then it became a constant, which side to I sit on. ( throw in, I'm very dyslectic about right and left, if you know me, it's a driver turn or a passenger turn. Lol. However, I have a great sense of direction, I can do North, South, East and West) There were always two kinds of scissors.

Now, I'm in a "right" relationship. Nothing has changed, cept I can seat either way :) I guess in my world, it wasn't a big deal.

Oh yeah, I have those ocean blue eyes. Probably the German/French part of me.

This is a very good description of my own eyes... ;)

well, I am a leftie and so is my sister (I had the worst hand writing) Someone recently told me that she has noticed that all her butch partners and butch friends are lefties. I recently read a study about hands and gender and (I, of course, can find it now) said that masculine id'd woman tend to be lefties. who knew?

[girlin2une]

This is how i was taught to knit when i was little. My mother couldn't knit, but my aunt taught me while sitting across from me.

One thing I find a bit strange is that my grandfather was left handed and was never given a hard time about it while he was young...

[Gemme]

I have the longest hair of any of my stylist's clients. When she blows it out or flat irons it, it comes to just above the small of my back.

I am currently trying to decide between the following colors for my miscellaneous room: Merino wool, watery, Malaysian mist, morning zen and breathe.

I like to sleep in a cool room at night. I did that even before I knew it activated brown fat and burned extra calories.

[homoe]

I have fond memories of the Back Street Boys music:sunglass:

Dominantly left? Is that so ? LOL

[JDeere]

I am right handed.

I have worn glasses since I was 8 years old.

[Gayandgray]

I'm right handed. I LOVE horror movies. I've been fat most of my life. I LOVE animals and actually prefer them to people.

[femmeandstrong]

I got stuck in the French trucker strike in the 80s... in France... near Caleigh..they blocked the highways ( clearly I found a way out ) ...

I was pickpocketed on a London subway and the dude gave my wallet back...lol, yes..

I ( was once a midwife in England ) ...delivered three babies in the caul ( intact amniotic sac...)

and for those who haven't yet thrown up...
I love Breyer's gelato ... lmao

[TL1]

I am left handed. Sort of. Write with left but some things I can only do with my right hand. I started smoking when I was 13 years old. I smoked for 20 years or so. I no longer smoke. And apparently I ate my twin. (Some claim left handed people were originally a twin but they absorbed the other fetus.... Or something like that)

Ditto, except I really did eat my twin. There were two of us on one sonogram and then just me a couple months later.

Clearly, it was a kill or be killed situation.

:blink:

[Bèsame*]

I was always the tallest one in class. I was happy when both my little brothers grew up and became taller than me! But I still take pride in making them cry just with my words! Lol lol poor Geraldine and Vincelica...my names I gave them!

I went thru the Panama Canal, and at that time, it was on the largest cruise ship to fit thru. very interesting

I've won many ribbons from the Worlds Largest Fair, including blue ribbons!

[MsTinkerbelly]

I'm right handed as was my father, and my mom and sister were/are left handed. I do most things the way a lefty would, as my mom taught me everything (tie shoes etc...) really important.

I have one dog, three cats, a million fish and two bird feeders that keep the cats happy! Lol

I love peanut butter with banana sandwiches, but only all natural peanut butter.

I'm allergic to most ine's (codeine, morphine, vicodine) in fact most painkillers just make me sick...so I take motrin or Tylenol for my pain, and then only when I can't move.

I am Taurus, in the year of the Chinese ox...can you even imagine how stubborn I am?

[Gayandgray]

I do not like to drive in traffic. When I was younger it never bothered me, but as I get older it gives me a lot of anxiety. I could spend hours browsing on Pinterest. When I was little I thought about being a zookeeper. I love black raspberry ice cream.:hangloose:

[Tiffany Aching]

I am what you call sapiosexual. Talk to me about books and theory and philosophy and I am smitten.

I love to cook and am quite good at it. Always on the look out for good tv series and films.

I have a t-shirt that says Butches give me a lady boner designed by my lover. In my favourite colours - black and red.

I have a very deep voice, contra alt which sometimes confuses people who only heard me on the phone (work related for example) and since I was very young would expect 50+ old woman.

Also, I have a freckle in each eye.

I hate these lists cuz I have no idea how to start them but with "I" and then it sounds narcissistic as f**** to me when I re-read it.
