[Gemme]

3. One of my childhood nicknames was Short Shit. I haven't quite outgrown it yet.

4. I keep the ashes of my favorite pet, Willow Anastacia, on the computer desk. Having her close helps me feel that she's still sort of here, like she's just in another room right now.

5. Though I'm a pretty good typist, I still have to look when I type numbers. Always.

6. I love music. I love Madonna. Both kept me sane through my craptastic childhood and are the only reasons I am still here today. You can not like her, but don't diss her or say that Lady Gaga is better than her because you will have a lengthy debate on your hands if you do.

7. Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire is one of my top 3 favorite songs, ever.

8. I've been married twice. Pregnant once. No children.

9. I have far too many clothes because I am a good shopper and because retail therapy is truly healing, albeit temporary.

11. I fancy myself a writer of sorts but have been muse-less for some time now.

13. I've lived in FL, WA, TX, MS and NY.

14. I'm half pure Italian and half mutt (French, English, Dutch, and Asian). There's more, I'm sure, but that's all that we can account for at this time.

15. My cell is archaic.

16. I love, love, love good erotica. Note: I said GOOD erotica. Crap is crap until it's good.

17. I may or may not be very opinionated.

18. I truly believe I was meant to be a redhead. Maybe next year I'll take the plunge.

19. I love chick flicks, especially rom coms.

20. Horror movies do not help my overactive imagination at all. I am more than happy to come into the room at the end and ask you to tell me about it though.

21. Lucky Charms is my go to comfort cereal, but I'll eat Basic 4 when I'm trying to eat better.

22. I want more tattoos.

23. My favorite movie of all time is Auntie Mame.

24. I've worn glasses since I was 14 months old. If I had a dollar for every pair I went through....

25. i was a Girl Scout from age 6 to 16 and i miss it!

[adorable]

1. I’m a fairly classic ENTP. While everyone thinks I’m such an extrovert, I disagree. Staying present is exhausting for me. I’m also a true Scorpio.
2. I always wanted to play the trumpet. In third grade someone let me borrow theirs and I tried for three weeks to make sound come out. No luck. That ended my love affair with the trumpet.
3. I played lacrosse on the boys team in high school.
4. I love books. I collect autographed copies. I was lucky to have a job at one point where I met important, published people.
5. I never curse or show disrespect to, or in front, of older people. Under any circumstances.
6. Surprise! I’m impulsive.
7. I love going to Yankee’s games. The last time I was set to go to Pride in NYC, I got tickets to the first Subway Series in the new Shea stadium, aka Citi Field. I never made it to Pride. The stadium was amazing, and of course, the Yankee’s won. (They throw games occasionally to keep people from complaining how they always win - they are humble that way.)
8. It took me three weeks to watch Schindler’s List. I could only watch small bits at a time. Then I’d lose it, regroup and force myself to watch a little more.
9. While I’m not afraid of heights, I am afraid of ladders. During firefighting training, we had to raise a 25 foot extension ladder in full gear and race to the top of the building. It was a timed test. I had the lowest time. I had no problem getting on the roof. Getting down was a different story. The instructor had to come up and talk me down. lol. I spent the rest of the day doing it over and over until I mastered it. I still hate ladders, but I can get off the roof. I did find that I was more motivated when the building was actually on fire.
10. I don’t really believe in superstitions, yet will still throw salt over my shoulder if it’s spilled, never walk under ladders, never lay hats on a bed or open umbrellas indoors. My grandmother put the fear of god into me when I was little.
11. I’m the only person in my family that has ever voted or went to college.
12. I’m am oldest child and very competitive.
13. I had serious hearing problems until the fourth grade. I learned to read everything to understand what was going on and it became my first great escape. I finished the entire Hardy Boys collection in second grade. My first “paper” in the sixth grade was a book report on the Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth.
14. Ham and cream cheese are delicious together. Cream cheese on hot dogs - delicious too.
15. I substitute ground turkey for anything that requires hamburger and quickly hide the package so no one knows. They never know. lol. Only turkey hot dogs too.
16. I may be one of only five people in the world that actually loves Grape Nuts cereal.
17. I hate the snow and dislike upstate NY. I have fallen in love with the idea of living in Ecuador.
18. Although I do love the ocean, I don’t swim anywhere where I can’t see the bottom.
19. I love poetry and the classics. I don’t have command over English in the way that great or even good writers do. So many rules. I’m only able to write from emotion. It made learning Spanish hard too. How can you learn the rules of another language without knowing what the rules are in your own? I have no idea what the past predicates or participles are, just that they exist.
20. I automatically assume that math, science, physics and statistics majors are smarter than me. I generally like them immediately and find them fascinating. My brain just doesn’t work that way.
21. I love to hear about what people do for a living. I could listen to those stories all day. Or how they came to this country, or stories about life up until 1960.
22. My favorite songs of all time are Radar Love by Golden Earring, Rhumboogie by the Andrew Sisters and Opus One by Tommy Dorsey. Random, I know. Music was my second great escape.
23. The minute I learned how to “Act as if” my life changed forever.
24. I once wrote a letter to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the king of Dubai and told him that I would love to visit his country, but he would need to change his policy against Israel. I haven’t heard back, so I assume he’s still thinking it over.
25. I’ve always been a news fanatic, even more so since 9/11. CNN is always on somewhere in my house and I usually run a live feed at work.

3. I love my home and am proud that I can take care of it on my own.
4. I hold in a lot and sometimes it becomes overwhelming.
5. I have a strong faith in God, but don't force it on others.
6. Music is very important to me. I love all kinds, but mainly country.
7. I try to be the best mom that I can be, but sometimes it's really hard.

9. During the week I work in a factory so my weekends are to feel girlie again.

[Gemme]

1. I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Breaking Your Own Heart" right now, for the first time. I like it.

2. I'm waiting for my comforter to dry so I can go to bed and sleep soundly.

3. My home is a mess right now. I don't like that.

4. I feel like I'm approaching a fork in my life now and I truly feel as if I'm winging it. I sure hope I choose the best path.

5. I flat ironed my hair yesterday. I wish I could go to the salon and get the straightening treatment but there are two reasons that make me pause. One is the price. I can't justify hundreds of dollars for a couple months' straightness and also when you do that, the chemicals will alter the hair's shafts and I'm not sure I want to do that. I used to get spirals and in the back of my mind, there's still a part of me that wants to do it again. I was kind of adorable with curls.

6. My left foot was in a brace for a year when I was a toddler and is slightly longer and more narrow than my right foot.

7. Fingernails: French manicure. Toenails: Gray polish with a glitter finish. Next time, I think I may go for deep burgundy on the toes.

8. The days that I don't feel pretty far outnumber the days that I do, so I really relish those days.

9. I want more ink.

10. I have a cleft in my chin, kind of like John Travolta. I was teased in childhood about it.

11. I don't like the taste of chocolate by itself. It must have peanut butter or coconut or caramel with it or a combination thereof.

12. I wanted a belly button ring but the piercer said that my button wasn't shaped quite right for one. I still kind of want one, even though it would take forever to heal fully.

14. I hope Christmas 2012 is better than Christmas 2011.

20. I keep loose change in a huge glass pickle jar.

21. I'm trying to get a friend to bring home a baby bulldog pup, just cuz I want to see the pics as she grows up. The dog, not my friend. She's already grown.

23. Learning to do a 540 is on my bucket list.

24. I've fed fanged deer before. They were cute!

25. I do not have a green thumb but I have kept a shrub that I brought home alive, mainly because Charlie doesn't require much work.

[DamonK]

1. I'm legally blind in one eye. Let's just say if I don't have my contacts or glasses, there's a problem. A big one.

2. I dated 3 bio-guys... just to try it out. Obviously it didn't stick.

3. I'm "certifiably deaf" according to paperwork I have.

4. I occasionally go into ASL rages. I'm aware I can't throw a verbal temper tantrum. No one ever said I couldn't have a silent one.

5. I'm a Cancer.

6. I'm 29. Most don't believe me.

7. I'm short and stocky. Weight needs to be lost, but I'm also extremely muscular. Most underestimate me.

8. I adore 3 dogs above all others. One, Riley, I have. One I had no choice but to give up and never will go through that again and if I could take it back, I would have. One that lives with her father.

9. I contemplate going back to school fairly regularly. It hasn't happened yet.

10. I taught myself needle crafts -- crocheting, knitting, cross-stitching years ago. I still do all 3. It's a cheap hobby. My $100 spent at one time will keep me busy for months upon months if not years.

11. I love to read. I have a hard time sleeping unless I've read before I sleep.

12. I hate talking on the phone. There's only a few I'm willing to make an exception for. Text is always the fastest route to catch me.

14. I love computer games. Especially open ended RPGs.

15. I used to build computers for a living, then got moved to fixing computers. Basically, I was the guy that last saw your computer before it got shipped out.

16. I've done CNA type work for 10 years now. My body is getting too old for it. Too many years of picking people up wrecks havoc.

17. I grew up on a farm.

18. I love to cook. If I'm hungry. If I'm not hungry period, then I don't want to cook.

24. I collect books about WW2 and the Holocaust in particular.

[sharkchomp]

1. I have two dogs that humble me daily with their love and loyalty. People should be more like dogs. We would have peace on earth. And we could pee anywhere freely. And when we would meet new people we would know if they showered that day. We'd have to earn our treats though, but learning a new trick would be fun.

2. I am completely sick over who's going to the super bowl this year.

3. My Mom retired to florida and I miss her terribly. She's a really great person. I miss my step dad too, we are great friends and he was one of the best fishing buddies I've ever had.

4. I'm going to get more serious about fishing this year. It's something I really enjoy and I didn't go at all last year :(

5. My grandfather raced pigeons. He won several trophies for it. I have a black and white framed photo of one of his pigeons on my hutch just as a quiet reminder of him even though he was a mean bastard, but he was still my grandfather.

6. I have a love/hate relationship with snow. I absolutely love it in that it is so beautiful. It transforms the earth like cleaning the slate. But that quickly goes away if the power goes out or I have to drive in it. Then it's just a bitch lol

7. I had an uncle that was a pilot and was shot down over Vietnam. He was MIA for 10 years then declared dead. His wife stopped contact with out family. I have two cousins I wouldn't know if they walked up to me. I hate that. My other uncle had a son with a wife I just found out about last year, so another cousin I've never met. I think family is important, so it makes me sad.

8. My brother is the most honorable man I've ever known. He actually thinks "what is the right thing to do" and tries to live his life accordingly. It's so amazingly rare to know someone like this and I'm so blessed to have him as my friend.

9. My best friend is the most amazing and coolest person I've ever known. If it wasn't for her I'd probally move to Florida to be closer to my parents.

10. I like watching the "Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross. He makes me believe I could actually paint and I'm going to try to paint this year.

11. I can't go to the movie theater without getting popcorn.

12. I want to go to Yellowstone NP so badly I actually bought a dvd about it.

13. I'm the easiest person to shop for. All you have to get me is fishing lures or a BPS gift card.

14. My phobia is lightning but I love to watch it. As long as something is over my head I'm ok but if I have to go outside in a bad storm I get so scared I almost can't move. Mice scare the hell out of me too. Yes, I will scream and run.

15. I love Tennessee. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever lived.

16. Slap stick humor will make me laugh uncontrollably. Watch the Three Stooges with the sound off. Just watch them. Best shit ever!!!!!

17. I like old movies, anything with Fred Astaire. His dancing is like, well, magical. I like old Godzilla movies too. The Japanese came up with some great shit. Flying turtles with fire coming out their asses - what could be better?

18. Justin Bieber is just annoying and I didn't like him but after I heard that he doesn't believe gays should have the right to get married I found I fucking hate him.

19. I was raised catholic and then Christian but as I've gotten older I really don't care for public displays of faith. People wearing crosses is fine n all but when their public display of faith becomes more like preaching I'm totally turned off.

20. I've been craving steak lately.

21. I'm crushed that Pat Summit has Alzhimers. My step dad's mom died from it (she literally forgot how to swallow and choked to death). It's so sad to me that Pat has achieved so much and she won't remember what she has accomplished.

22. I played Band Hero (xbox game) and it was awesome!!!!!

23. I try to take a nap everyday because I don't sleep well at night and it makes me feel better. I think we should be more like Mexico and Spain and shut down for an afternoon nap everyday.

24. I was watching a travel show and they said that it was common practice for business men in Bermuda to wear bermuda shorts, dress shirts and ties at work. That's what I'm talking about!

25. My favorite band, through all the years, is still Led Zeppelin.

[Jett]

1. I love music, music theory, exploring the patterns and possibilities... I've always been fascinated by it.

3. I sing as well but not 'as well' ;).

4. I 'thanked' everyone here before even reading the posts, I will go back and read them and remove my thanks if there was something really offensive to me, but I like the thread and willingness to share. I thank haphazardly sometimes yes... lol

5. The question I have been asked more than any other and all through life is: "Are you a vampire?" This I surmise is because- my pallor, very red lips, long pointy canine teeth and am often cool to the touch all over due to secondary vascular effects of a rare blood disorder... etc. etc. So, I pretty much have legit explanations for most of these "vampiric signs", and seriously, some people still don't believe me.

6. I have 20+ hoodies, the 'comfort food' of clothes for me... they range from street to sweater/semi-dress even... I have no sports related hoodies.

7. I almost always am wearing a hat, it's keeps me warm (see #5) and I just like them. 99% of the time it's an Ivy/Flat cap and the other 1% one of my Fedoras on dressier occasions... I never wear baseball caps, and don't like them.

8. Despite the way number 6 makes it sound, I like to dress well, I don't ever lounge around in "sweats" or ratty t-shirts nor do I own any.

9. I wear low rise jeans almost exclusively, button and flap back pockets highly preferred.

10. I love animals and consider them to be the best type of friends, when I hear of someone abusing them it raises my blood pressure like nothing else does... and I would bitch-slap anyone I saw kick or punch an animal.

11. An affinity for Victorian decor and anything Victorian.

12. I have bad allergies, make me cough, sneeze and snot myself pretty much year around.

13. I'm unusually strong and it irritates my friends that pump iron that I can out arm wrestle all of them without having lifted a weight in years.

15. My favorite color is maroon.

16. I love to take long walks at night, later the better.

17. I love long hot steam baths and I really love saunas.

18. I love riding motorcycles and am a very skilled experienced rider, Triumph motorcycles are my favorite.

19. I used to sleep walk quite often as a small child, my mom used to have to put chairs against the doors at night because I would always leave the house... I sleep walk fairly rarely now.

20. I in my life attempted more than once at a gf's request to become a vegetarian for awhile, and that's a lie, I never r-e-a-l-l-y tried but pretended and got the girl anyway... ;) I did yes come clean because, my what a tangled web we weave... and I friggen hate that... andI hate liars... gah, lol.

21. I am a f-a-i-r-l-y reclusive and private person, but I hold my all friends very dear and consider them family.

22. Multiple tattoo's and piercings, I'm getting another tattoo soon... a couple sentences that mean a lot to me

23. After my mom died I found out I was adopted through found letters and paperwork. Anyway my whole life I thought I was Italian and then found out my parents were from Portugal, so I'm Portuguese, nope... fairly recently I found out yes my parents lived there but weren't born there, and I am actually Romanian. I am not researching anymore... :/

24. I was once bitten by a satanist who was enthralled by me and wanted me to marry him and join his band.

2. I was born and raised in Ohio, but currently live in Vancouver. My dad told me “You’re starting to enunciate your words like a damn canuck.”

4. I have a complicated relationship with religion. I have trouble embracing Christianity as an adult, but feel guilty if I’m not at church on Easter and Christmas Eve. My grandpa was a minister, so that probably doesn’t help.

10. Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I picture the cat I had as a little girl, Lucky, sleeping on my tummy like she used to do, and that helps me get to sleep.
11. I feel naked without red lipstick.
12. I used to take dance classes as a kid- ballet, tap, and jazz- until I hit 13 and it became clear that I wasn’t going to grow up with a dancers body, so I stopped. I wish I hadn’t.
13. I also wish I hadn’t quit playing the saxophone. My mom was right.
14. I’ve been on the internet since I was 13. I met my first girlfriend online when I was 16.
15. I love kids cereals. I’m currently working my way through a box of Cap’n Crunch.
16. My grandma is on my Facebook friends list. Her status updates are my favourite.
17. When I was 13, I plucked my eyebrows super thin because I wanted to look like Greta Garbo. I was a strange kid.
18. When I was 8, I won third place in a dance contest at Castle Skateland. I got a free Pepsi.

photography takes up about twenty hours of my day most days [shooting, editing, reading, learning, talking about, planning, dreaming of...]
i lost my dog - my best friend of fifteen years last year and i don't think i will ever have another. my heart is just too broken.

i prefer dark hair to blonde.
i will eat chocolate for dinner and do so often.
i gave up red meat & poultry ten years ago.

text talk is a pet peeve of mine and sadly, i will hold it against you if you speak it/text it/write it to me.
i prefer the mountains and forests to oceans and beaches.
i prefer night to day.
my favourite rock band is led zeppelin.
hard rock music motivates me, country music makes me want to slit my wrists.
i like the absence of color. not necessarily black and white, but extremely washed out and quiet hushed tones. i don't like bright colors.
i'm very anti social although in a social setting you would not know that. ten years of sales will teach you how to flip that switch on and off at will.
i put nothing and no one above my child.

[Jett]

1. I want to ride the Trans Siberian Railway, the long trip of course.

2. I have studied martial arts, two styles- Tae Kwon Do which I took as far as I could in my younger days and Tai Chi which is the only one I practice now...

3. Phobia's- flying (not too bad) water (ee-eh, a bit spooky feeling) claustrophobia (forget it I'm just NOT going in there).

4. I'm in my mid 40's, and in a very happy, good and centered place in my life. Is getting old a bitch? I'll let you know when I get there... and don't hold your breath ;)

5. I don't like amusement park rides at all... but I love roller coasters! xD. But after riding them more than twice I might lose my lunch, I don't care... I love them

6. I have and enjoy really flirty friendships... I like it- but am loyal to my mate as one could be

7. If you intrust me with a secret, I will absolutely take it to the grave.

8. I have light green eyes

9. My father is the only family I have left, but he has another whole family for the last 20+ years... they are kinda fam, but they are a unit I'm outside of... I really miss my mom a lot.

10. I didn't cry at my moms funeral and I'm sure that was talked about, what they don't know is nobody could have loved her more and I couldn't even think about it because for the longest time every time I did it felt like my heart would explode.

11. I play a MMORPG (massively multi-player online role playing game) called CrimeCraft, my gang rules the city and has for years... haa. I play at least 3-4 hours a week.

12. I'm an Alpha, INFJ, YinYang type peep

13. I try to live my life w/ class, honor and integrity... it's important to me.

14. I've worn a lot of leather in my life, I won't buy leather anymore... only faux leather.

15. I don't like negative people, drama queens, or toxicity in general, and it is always quickly removed from my life.

16. I am a deeply emotional and sensitive person, I'm also hardened and strong so it may be hard to tell, I don't know whether the latter statement's good or bad.

17. There's been a tendency in my life to keep most people at arms length, like don't get too close I'll back away. I'm certain I missed out on some beautiful friendships. I've gotten better at that though it's something I probably need to work on more.

18. I used to be pretty ocd but when I made some completely unrelated (on the surface) but positive life changes it went away... go figure.

19. I have a deep voice.

20. I really love life, I have lived hard and fast and taken my time and smelled the roses as well, I love it. But when it's my time I will not scream and kick because I've had so much in one lifetime... so much more than many ever had a chance and I'm grateful for that and won't be selfish around it.

21. I have 11 tattoo's (I think lol), and two piercings... my tongue used to be pierced but it annoyed me.

22. I'm mellow and even tempered, not an excitable, fearful or nervous type and I don't ever jump up and down, squee or squeal or scream... but I like when others do get over excited... it makes me laugh.

23. I was pretty broken early in life, I am not any more but have a lot of scars, inside and out... I don't hate them, they are merely signs of life and we all have them. I can't regret anything that helped make me the person I am today... but I never kid myself that there isn't anymore 'work' to do.

24. As we grow older I believe we become cynical and lose the 'magic' in life, we stop 'believing in' this and that... think we know it all now... I did that... and then I realized I know nothing... and reclaimed the magic, it's been a huge positive change.

25. I like these particular threads because it helps me to be more open, which is something I've never been good at but have worked on. I have had some deeper trust issues that I tended in life to avoid sharing a-n-y-t-h-i-ng that felt even remotely personal or revealing, so I sprinkle a little here and there in these threads just to keep reminding me it's alright to do so.

[JustJo]

I don't mind scary movies, but I can't handle gore....even a tiny bit. This means there are few scary movies for me to see.
I like almost all vegetables, including the much maligned Brussels Sprout...which is a lovely thing when roasted.
I have a very hard time saying "No" to people...but I'm working on it.
I am saner when I am writing than when I am not writing.
I love working out at Curves. There's something about sweating and laughing with 70 and 80 year old women that makes me feel hopeful.
I work for a company whose mission I believe in, but that sometimes really pisses me off.
In my work life, I am buried in acronyms....which means that I sometimes say things like "If the AE can't make it to NMR then we need the CSR so we can work on OQR."
I love the beach more than any place on earth.
Disneyworld (particularly Animal Kingdom) is a close second.
I was 35 when I had my son, after believing for a decade that I couldn't.
I am more afraid of medical intervention than I am of pain....hence having my son with a 100% natural childbirth. No needles, no doctor....just me, him, a midwife and a lot of 7-up and cranberry juice. Oh....and a jacuzzi tub....ahhhhhh.
I adore jacuzzis.
Skinny-dipping in the moonlight is right at the top of my list of romantic activities.
Showering together is a close second.
I don't like to discuss politics....because I disagree with pretty much everyone.
I was raised very much out of the mainstream...and frequently feel like a Martian as a result.
I envy people with happy childhoods, but I love to hear their stories.
Helluva Good French Onion dip is the best dip ever....don't even try to convince me otherwise.
I bake everything from scratch....except for cornbread and, sometimes, pumpkin bread.
Baking bread is like therapy for me. I don't do it often enough.
Risotto is my favorite food on the planet...but only if it's made really, really well.
Thai and Mexican food are tied for second.
I love my son, indulge him, and cater to his whims. I am also working at putting myself out of a job by encouraging him to be independent and not "need" me.
I love dogs, but do not want them to lick me....especially my face. Dog breath is not amusing.
I am a little camera shy...simply because I am clueless about how to look good in a picture. There are very few I actually like of myself.

[genghisfawn]

1. This is going to be really tough for me. That's why I'm doing it.

2. I have been fluent in 4 major musical disciplines in my life - double bass, French horn, piano and voice. I only do these things now for my own amusement, as professional playing seemed a likely path. I did it to avoid hating what I do.

3. I'm the only person in my family with my colour of eyes.

4. I have a mental block against laundry. Even while I'm doing it I pretend I'm doing something else.

5. If money were no object, I would become a full-out vintage lifestyler. As it is, I content myself with vintage and shabby decor and several key pieces in a vintage wardrobe (including full Victorian dress, hoops and fall for costume events.)

6. When I was in high school, I was a punk. I had hair in all colours of the rainbow and I was the first in my school to get a facial piercing. I was also an out lesbian. Catholic high school was tough until grade 11.

7. My original career path was in Music Education. I switched to pursuing Law, then ran away to the UK for two gap years with two credits remaining for a run-of-the-mill BA. I finished via web courses and wrote my final exam 16 hours after arriving back in Canada, then received my degree - 8 years in the making - 6 months later. I can't remember where I put it.

8. I come off as dramatic, demanding, teasing and perhaps pontificating in chat, but if you met me in real life you'd see how simple I really am.

9. I was rejected by the Naval Reserve for a slight spinal curvature and a badly-healed torn left ACL. I wanted to be a Navy musician.

10. When I was a little girl I read "The Velveteen Rabbit" too many times, and I was very tenderhearted. I am still very tenderhearted, and when I see discarded toys I get weepy.

11. When I was 7, my family met my mother's birth-mother. I put on my favourite white dress for the occasion and made her a paper-bag owl, but I hid in my closet until my mother fetched me because I was scared by the sound of her voice.

12. My sense of humour vacillates between chuckling over the irreverence of Voltaire's "Candide" to writhing with pained laughter over episodes of Kenny vs. Spenny.

13. My musical tastes are similarly varied. I don't care what genre or artist it is as long as it fires up the pleasure centres of my brain.

14. I am calm and happy in every social situation except anything to do with weddings. It's not about what they mean (as I hope to be married someday) but I feel wretched at showers and stag/ette events. To me, they feel contrived and there's nothing worse than being forced to play Sexy Bingo.

15. In every dull, spread-sheety job I had as an office temp, I pretended I was doing something top secret or impossible, such as breaking code at Bletchley Park, deciphering Tesla's lost papers or earning my Star Fleet commission.

16. I performed as part of a university production for The Vagina Monologues in 2005 for extra credit. It wasn't earth-shatteringly influential on my body politics or feminism, but faking orgasms for a crowd of 400 on two separate nights was balm for the introvert's soul.

17. I prefer my gramophone to my iPod.

18. I sleep naked, but sometimes I add socks because I can't sleep with cold feet. I also tend to beat up my bed partners in my sleep by tossing around. There - just eliminated several potential mates. This is what's wrong with me, I swear to God.

19. I don't believe in expiry dates. If it looks fine, then smells fine, then tastes fine, I will eat it.

20. Arguing is low on my list of things I like to do. I also can't bear to see people fight.

21. If you are ever in my home, I will try on many occasions to feed you. Shh, my darling, resistance is futile.

22. One person has stopped dating me because my best friends and I smooch on meeting and departing and hold hands in public. I won't stop - they're my sisters and my affection and loyalties to them are deep.

23. I have two brothers. My brother Jon is 21 years old with severe autism and cognitive disabilities, PDD and epilepsy. He is a fine-looking, upstanding young man in library and office aide training and I love him dearly. My stepbrother Colin is 18 and is working as a trained meatcutter at his local grocery store. He's also a b-boy and dances at a Christian youth church that holds regular raves and club nights. I am as proud of them as I can be, but I have also lain down some assbeat on both of them and received my dues in return.

24. I drive a silver 2005 Pontiac G6. Her name is Pony and I will drive her until she costs me more to fix than haul away.

25. I own too many socks.

[Tawse]

1. Have lived in and around Metro Atlanta all 42 years of my life.

2. July of this year will mark my 20 year anniversary at my work place.

3. Back when I was 22 I had an application in for a Police job and one in for a Mechanics job. The mechanics one called me back first - so that's where I am still today (different job, same company)

4. Never went to college

5. Didn't think I'd make it past 25 so why worry about college?

6. I am bipolar.

7. I take my meds religiously even if there are times I don't think I have to.

8. I can be extremely obsessive. To the point where I can eat the exact same breakfast for a year without getting tired of it.

9. The past couple of years I've read more than any other time in my life aside those crucial teenage years. I'm completely loving my rediscovery of books.

10. I've been writing stories since I was somewhere between 5 and 7.

11. My first story was about a dolphin - it was 6 of those big dotted line in the middle of every line kindergarten pages long.

12. Due to gay bashing incidents in my past - I insist on driving fast and reliable car.

13. Also due to the above I don't trust "packs" of high school / college age guys.

14. I am torn between wanting to pass as a guy - and being proud of what I've achieved as a female bodied person in a very male world, and wanting to be recognized for that.

15. One of the first things I did when I came out as gay (and butch at the same time) was find a mentor. She taught me a lot about our history, where to go, where not to go, everything... I'll never forget our evenings of "black and tans" after work.

16. Songs carry strong imprints from my life.

17. My dad is a drug addict and it destroyed my teenage life. I have huge issues with people who use drugs - I typically avoid them at all costs.

18. I actually love vegetables so when I get my head outta my ass and decide to eat right - I usually don't have a hard time finding stuff I like to eat.

19. I was 35 before I had my first cavity. After that though - they all started racing towards crowns & root canals.

20. I had my gall bladder removed when I was 20. After being misdiagnosed for over a year and almost dying...

21. I usually like these types of posts - but this one is hurting my brain.

22. I buy myself car parts for weight loss goals. When I reach my "final" goal this time - I'm buying a cold air intake system... Yay!!

23. I drive 500 miles a week going to and from work. (2 hours a day)

24. When a video stalls online - it bothers me more than nails on chalkboards.

25. I have owned a wide variety of exotic and domestic pets - and I have finally come to the conclusion that I really love and bond fantastically with cats.

[PinkieLee]

1. Although I have the worst Texas accent in the world, I was originally born in Olean, New York and moved to Houston when I was 4.

2. My first kiss was from Tom Jones at a concert where my mother forced me to the front of the stage, at the tender age of 9 years old.

3. When I was little I was in the Bluebirds for 2 years & did the father/daughter Indian Princess thing for 3 more years.

4. To entertain myself as a child, I would play with my mom's 10 key calculator & pretend I worked at a grocery store. No wonder my 10 key touch speed is off the charts still to this day.

5. The beach is my happy place.

6. I smell every single health & beauty item I may or may not buy. Seriously, I could spend an hour in the shampoo/body wash aisles at a store.

7. Same goes for laundry detergent... yeah I'm weird like that.

8. If I am ever at home and not feeling good, I always make macaroni & tomatoes and drink ginger ale (just like my mom used to always give me as a kid).

9. I grew up in family of addicts ~ father is an alcoholic, brother is a drug addict & my mom is a shopaholic.

10. At work, I jokingly refer to my boss as "the man". Truth is, he is more like a 2nd father to me.

11. I have been at my job longer than I have lasted in any longterm relationship.

12. I am a mad lover of all that is COACH.... but still don't have the heart to give away my first ever Dooney & Bourke.

13. In May, I bought my first brand new car ~ at 38 years old. Yeah, it's even a standard!

14. I have a couple of close friends that are my sounding boards when I am upset... because they actually speak the thoughts that run through my head, that my heart won't let me say outloud.

15. I've always dreamed of becoming a mother, but the older I get the farther away I see that dream slip away.

16. I do a lot of the things I do... not because I want to, but because it's the right thing to do.

17. I really don't like to wear dresses. Usually reunions/bashes are the one time of year that I do.

18. Drinking a margarita or beer with friends on a deck somewhere, is my 2nd happy place.

19. Laughter & Music save me every single day.

20. I think that Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds is the sexiest man alive!

21. I am still friends with every single person I have ever dated... most are some of my closest friends.

22. My shoe of choice will always be flip flops.

23. I am not a political person at all. When people go on rants about it, I zone out and all I hear is Wawawawawawa.

24. I have been a member of the American Legion Auxilary for 25 years.

25. Every single night before bed, I watch Family Guy... it may be politically incorrect, but that shit cracks me up!

[LaneyDoll]

1. I think I look younger than my actual age & that makes me really happy in a vain way.

2. I am really not vain but may appear as super confident because that confidence is a mask for a few insecurities.

3. I have almost zero talent, I call myself “a jack-of-all-talents and master-of-none.” Therefore if I sing around you, it means I am very comfy with you.

4. Horror movies terrify me but I find certain ones familiar enough that I can fall asleep to them.

5. Brush my hair and I just may fall in love with you.

6. The only time I can ever turn my mind off is at night when I am the passenger in a car travelling the interstate.

7. I am very good with names & faces. I used to ID criminals out of photo line-ups on an almost monthly basis; I even picked a man out of a line-up with his twin. The FBI tried to recruit me because of this ability. I almost wish I had accepted that opportunity.

8. I am very sensitive to smell.

9. Someone once greeted me with the words, “so, you are the infamous LaneyDoll.” That made me smile.

10. I am thankful that my children are all boys; I think that a girl (especially a teenage one) may test my patience.

11. My children go by their first names; I hate going by my middle name but hate my first name more than correcting people.

12. My children’s first names do not rhyme with anything; this is thanks to growing up with a name that rhymed with lots of words.

13. My children’s names each have five letters AND the first name has two syllables while the middle name has one. This was not planned but the pattern appeared after the second child so the third was named using this formula.

14. Despite the previous 3 statements, I am not anal nor do I have any form of OCD.

15. I believe in karma and this allows me to let go of a lot of anger.

16. My fave bottled water is Fiji. I swear you can tell the difference.

17. My fave color is purple but my fave color combination is pink & black.

18. My fave shoes are heels-and my calves show it.

19. I prefer to be barefoot.

20. My toenails are ALWAYS painted. The only time they are without polish is if I am giving them a night to breathe but they are painted again the next day.

21. I have less than pretty skin; I have tried everything from Pro-Active to Retin-A to Accutane. Thankfully I am good with make-up.

22. I learned how to do make-up when I worked at (are you ready?)---Glamour Shots. I learned from the gay boys and the drag queen (who ended up stealing all of our plus-size clothes.)

23. One of the gay boys and I used to eat lunch together all the time; this was really funny when I was obviously pregnant.

24. I think that little things & simple gestures are the best which leads me…

25. I have the Air Force coin that was presented to Riley when he graduated; he gifted it to me and it means more to me than anything else he could have given me (except when he gave me his love).

[*Anya*]

1. I am an introvert but can fake being an extrovert in social situations.

2. I read Gone With the Wind in less than a week at age 10.

3. My bedtime was 7:30PM until I was 13, then I was allowed to stay up until 8:30.

4. I still cry over the death of my Bishon Frise, Baby (she died on April 19th, 2011) whenever I think of her or see another Bishon.

5. I love to do laundry and fold clothes & towels but despise ironing. I tend to buy no-wrinkle clothing as a result.

6. I used to iron my hair on the ironing board as a teenager or set it on one gigantic orange juice can on the top of my head, to make it come out straight.

7. When I was 16, the car I was in was hit by another and we rolled over 3 times. We were not hurt because there were 3 of us (one big guy, too) in the front bench seat-we packed each other in.

8. I elevated masturbation to an art-form during all the years I had been single. I firmly believe that if you don't use it- you lose "it".

9. I lost track of my best friend during my hermit years and have been unable to track her down since then. We became lovers in our early 20's, then back to best friends. The last time we spoke, she was madly in love with a lesbian wheelchair basketball player in Eugene, OR.

10. I pride myself on my total trustworthiness and never breaking a confidence-ever. People tell me I am easy to talk to, tell me personal things and then worry I will repeat them. I never do.

11. I never swear in front of people that don't know me but actually swear like a sailor, especially with idiot CA drivers- I just don't do it where they can see as I would rather not get shot.

12. I love zombie and apocalyptic, end-of-the-world movies and books, can't tell you why but I hate bloody, slasher movies.

13. I want to go to a gun range and learn to shoot guns. (See #12, apocalypse).

14. I am extremely empathetic, sensitive and cry easily. It is frequently a drag.

15. I loved Nancy Drew, had all the books and recently gave them to my 7-year-old granddaughter.

16. I love the beach and my dream is to someday live where I can always see and smell the ocean.

17. My favorite comedy is The Big Bang Theory. It cracks me up.

18. My favorite shoes are my Merrells. I have them in navy, taupe, black and white. I may be femme but hate to wear heels or panty hose.

19. I love staying in nice hotels.

20. I hate camping.

21. The Planet helped me get back into life again. I am grateful for that.

22. I do have a prickly, OCD side that I do not like. It gets in the way of my being mellow (which is my goal).

23. When I was 10, I won a watermelon eating contest for eating watermelon the fastest. I was crowned queen by Miss New Jersey. The picture was in Life Magazine. I won a doll. The king got a bike. I wanted the bike, not the damn doll.

24. I love to dance and want to do it again. I miss partner dancing more than just about anything, though I still dance by myself in my living room.

25. I have run out of semi-interesting things about myself so will stop here.

[The JD]

1. I can smell ants.

2. I get migraines at the drop of a hat. Really, I think you could drop a hat and I’d get a migraine.

3. I brew my own beer.

4. I rarely drink. Even half a beer can give me a migraine.

5. I was born in Atlanta, and have never lived anywhere else….though I considered it, after the Olympics came through and changed the feel of the city.

6. I like to iron. And before you offer, that doesn’t mean I’d like to iron your clothes.

7. The first concert I ever saw was Elvis Presley. I was ten. I could feel the electricity and the crazed excitement in the air, and knew even then it was one of those “I was there” life events.

8. The first time I made out with a girl was in the parking lot of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

9. I have a fear of sunflowers. They creep me the hell out. I’ve been known to cross the street so I don’t walk next to them, or ask for different seating in a restaurant that has sunflower art too close to my table.

10. I spent my twenties playing bass guitar in rock bands and playing to crowds anywhere between 6 people and 12,000 (more frequently closer to 6 than 12,000).

11. I have severe hearing loss. I’ve always had it, but sometimes I tell overly-inquisitive people it’s from my ‘rock star’ past so I don’t have to explain it further.

12. I wrote a weekly astrology column for a queer Atlanta-based magazine for seven years. My pen name was Ava Voorhis.

15. I detested Chihuahuas until my parents gave me one. His name is Killer. He lets me subject him to the latest Internet memes, and I adore him for it.

17. I can’t fall asleep if my fingernails are touching any cloth.

18. I’m a cheerful scientist. It's better than being mad.

17. I still think about 2 of my teachers from elementary school, and miss them. I always felt they believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.
18. I cry in sappy movies, even if I have seen them before. I love horror movies, but I cant watch them alone, the fear doesnt leave when Im alone.
19. I was homeless more than once, before I had children. My parents divorced and I was the one they fought about not taking, there for I have fended for myself since 12 years old.
20. I dont know how to accept when people do nice things for me. I need to feel there is a balance, so i try to give more than I receive. Being spoiled makes me feel vulnerable. I am the one who buys gifts for people, and just leaves them to be found nameless. :)
21. I love to cook, bake and try new recipies. I am a perfectionist in my presentation, or I am too embarrassed to serve it. I have run my own catering business off and on for nearly 20 years.

[Smiling]

1. I have man hands, lol. Yes, just like on that episode of Seinfeld!
No shame there; just calling it like it is, lol....

2. I have recently (last 3-4 months) developed a habit of plunging the index and middle fingers of my right hand into my cleavage. It isn't any sort of pre-masturbatory ritual or anything of that sort; but rather seems to be some kind of peculiar self-comforting gesture. It's incomprehensibly warm and soft there. So weird, I know.

3. I have always dreamed of being an amateur beekeeper; even having joined beekeeping clubs and devouring literature on the structure of bee colonies and bee biology. I find honeybee society to be utterly fascinating. I absolutely revere these tiny, complex creatures.

4. I have experienced a complete shift in my consciousness since having seen HH Dalai Lama speak last May. I feel like I was given a spiritual gift; the depths of which I have not even fully realized yet.

5. I am a Far Side fanatic. Gary Larsen is a genius.

6. One of my very favorite things about Florida is seeing orange trees in people's yards. I hope to have one in a yard of my own one day.

7. Aquariums can hypnotize me. I could just sit and stare at them for hours on end.

8. I have a very rich inner life and even though I can prattle on seemingly endlessly online, [Reference the size of my current post, lol.] in real life I prefer quiet. I love to listen to others, however it irritates me when people talk just to fill a silence that they find uncomfortable.

9. I quit smoking cold turkey about 5 years ago. Though, to be fair, I didn't start smoking habitually (key word: habitually) until I was 21 years old and "stressed out." (lol, as though I had any clue at that age!)

10. I smoked my first cigarette at age 7 and promptly set my friend's mom's garbage can on fire, lol. We explained it away later by saying that we got hungry, cooked something, and set it ablaze, lol. I still can't believe she bought that cockamamie story; and further, didn't appear at all disturbed by 2 seven year-olds practically burning down, [and subsequently putting out the fire in] the kitchen. Times sure were different back then!

11. I took a DNA test and found out that I am of Orcadian and North African descent. That was a pretty interesting discovery. I have also been contacted by some of my relatives based on the results of this test. (Unfortunately, they have all been distant relatives; but it's still exciting to me and has yielded some very interesting genealogical data!)

Wow! I'm only halfway through this questionnaire and already struggling, lol.


12. It makes me so angry that no one who is "in-the-know" will share information with me about my paternal grandparents, my father, or my half-brother.

13. I want to get my boating license so I can rent a boat sometimes and spend my off days on the water relaxing. What a grand way to spend a sun-drenched afternoon!

14. I am absolutely addicted to Dunkin' Donuts Dark Roast Iced Coffee thanks
to someone who shall remain nameless. [and if you happen to read this, you know who you are!]. I've been completely out of control with it ever since. Thanks a lot for the monkey on my back! lol

15. I was so surprised when I went hot air ballooning a few years ago at how gently we were carried off into the air. It was an absolutely stunning sunrise flight (or float, lol?). Unfortunately, I am terrified of heights and was traumatized about being swept up and away in what basically amounted to a glorified wicker laundry basket!

16. Despite that, I would do it again in a heartbeat.

***Gross out alert for those of you with a low tolerance for such things:***

17. My favorite condiment is mustard and I like to make Ramen noodles, drain off the liquid, and stir in several generous dollops before savoring the tangy deliciousness. I concocted this weirdo recipe when I was about 20 years old and living a not-so-nice lifestyle. The way of life is long gone now, but the love of this particular meal lives on, lol.

18. I love the way swamps are illuminated as the morning light peeks through the trees growing there. And as soon as I am able, I plan to take a kayaking trip through the Everglades with only my camera to capture it as it appears to the lens in the natural photographer's light.

19. Despite what one might conclude by reading this post, lol, I find it very difficult to talk about myself. I only participate in order to force myself outside my normal comfort zone which I think is a good thing to do sometimes. Plus, it gives me an opportunity to interact with people who are inclined in similar [or completely dissimilar, which is always interesting, too!] ways as myself.

20. My sweet tooth is currently totally.out.of.control. I can sometimes skeeter on [without technically having one] what resembles an eating disorder and other times I eat great; from a nutritional standpoint. It seems to vacillate based not only on my emotional state, but lately also on financial fluctuations.

21. I love the way patchouli smells, but I never wear it because I have found that it is an offensive scent to many. I do, however, get my personal patchouli fix through the burning of incense.

22. Patchouli, however, is not my favorite incense. (Bear with me; I'm grasping at straws for things to write now that I'm nearing the end of this questionnaire). Cedars of Lebanon in crystal form is my favorite scent [as incense goes].

23. I got trapped under ice [yes; just like the Metallica song for you fans out there, lol] as a child and was rescued by a cousin of mine who had coincidentally recently come to live with us from another state because he was into so much trouble at home. I won't tell you about the circumstances surrounding how he was later almost kicked out for nearly accidentally killing me, lol. [Maybe I will save that for the next quiz, lol] I haven't seen him now in over 30 years and often wonder how he is doing.

24. As much as I love music, I haven't wanted to listen to much of it since I lost my pet cat. It seems so....silly now.

25. I'm a lefty.

[Medusa]

1. I've been obsessed with incense lately and burn them from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed unless people are going to be in my home who might be allergic.

2. I flit around a lot when it comes to interests. I'll obsess on something for a while until I learn everything I want about it and then I move on. Thus, there is a never-ending wheel-o-hobbies happening in my space.

13. I always get really happy when I settle into bed for the night because our bed is exactly perfect and wonderful.

14. Sometimes to help myself sleep, I design homes in my head. Everything from the room sizes to what kind of flooring would go in each room.

15. When I was a child, I used to think that the music in the car came out of the windshield and not the speakers.

16. Even though I work really hard not to do it, I sometimes find myself gloating when assholes in the universe get what's coming to them.

17. When it comes to gifts, I'd rather receive something hand-made that cost nothing than an expensive gift.

18. I get really freaked out when people talk over my plate of food because I imagine bits of spittle or their teeth flying out and hitting my plate.

19. I can swim really well but I refuse to dive off that high thing at the pool.

20. I've been working toward simplifying my life and find myself cutting things loose that I thought I would never ever be able to let go of but it's super satisfying.

21. I thought this list was only supposed to be 20 things about us and went "Oh, crap" out loud when I saw it was 25.

22. I have a bad BAD habit of laughing at inappropriate moments like funerals, weddings, or really serious business meetings.

23. I am practically tone-deaf but that's never stopped me from doing karaoke or wailing out a song whenever I feel like it.

[uglyboi]

I wore the same calculator watch for six years.

I was Charlie Brown in the play "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown".

I once won a radio talent show by playing, You Are My Sunshine through my nose. I can do this in perfect pitch. The prize, 15 tickets to a Rockfest. Yeah Baby!

I was taught how to pitch pennies by 3 homeless, elderly, very drunk men at a train station.

I'm old enough to know better.

If someone calls my house looking for "Marna" there is a very good chance it's a telemarketer.

I like adverbs.

I once got a concussion playing ultimate frisbee with a bunch of teenagers.

When I use twitter, I feel like a slightly feral village elder. My teeth itch when people tweet me to tell me what I'm not allowed to say.

Two of my friends from college named my thumbs; the left one is Bruce and the right one is Ted. I have no idea why.

I own a pair of Rayban Wayfarers. Classic black. Yeah, I’m awesome. Bitchin even!

I don’t think Angelina Jolie is hot. Or Julia Roberts. Or Pamela Anderson.

I hate cubicles.

[StoneFinn]

1. i do not feel like i have many friends in person, and i believe that it is because i am either missing something (in me) or doing something wrong.

2. i love to fish (catch and release)- even though the mere smell of fish will make me sick, and i cannot eat fish

3. i have now not only broken a finger, but now also had a ring ablation (degloving without removal)... and the bone was split down the middle as well.

4. i can build almost anything... except my own dinner. when my partner is gone at work, feeding myself often involves me staring into the fridge and eating a block of cheese.

5. considering the above, it becomes funny when you know that i also worked as a head cook-- and a good one at that, i am told.

6. i had a rather substantial collection of devil duckies. i am glad i don't now, because my puppy would probably eat them all.

7.it really bothers me when i can tell that people judge me to be stupid based on the observation that i work with my hands and am quite frequently dirty from such work

8. i am a night owl

9. even though i am a night owl, i have done the best i can to flip my schedule around for "the rest of the world"- although this has caused me to run in a perpetual state of sleep deprivation

10. i was born 10-12 weeks premature... and didn't find out about that until i was 34. when they couldn't find my appendix.

11. i love horror movies

12. i love working, but i do not love working with other people

13. i tend to be a bit of a magpie. there is a lot behind that, but i am now finally feeling secure enough to start letting go of some things

14. i have finally set up my painting studio. at least phase 1 of it.

15. i enjoy doing laundry. i find it to be very relaxing.

16. i hate doing dishes- it really kills my back.

17. i have major surgery coming up in 10 days and i am working on not freaking out.

18. when i was in 7th grade i wrote a report on edgar allan poe; my teacher thought that it was too good for me to have written it and failed me and accused me of plagiarism. my mum came to my defense and the principal gave me a chance-- an oral question and answer session on EAP, if i did well, all charges dropped and i would pass; if i did not do well, bad stuff. i passed so well that the principal actually chastised my teacher. go mum!

19. i find one-upmanship to be terribly tiring.

20. i am a volunteer firefighter in australia

[Kätzchen]

1) I'm not eager to make friends with people like I used to, and cannot abide super needy people or people who have controlling behaviors. I am content with the few friends I have in life and I'm okay with that.

2) I like lots of color in my home. Home Décor is a hobby I've been nurturing for years now.

3) I like to change my fingernail polish weekly and one week of the month I won't wear any nail polish.

4) My work family simply loves me and I am so grateful they are in my life.

5) I like to pay my bills off before they're even due.

6) I have quirks about me, concerning bed time routines. I like it completely as dark as possible in my bedroom because of light sensitivity issues.

7) I am not the slight bit interested in having sex, anymore.

8) My abusive 92 y.o. dad died on the day of my best friend's birthday, two weeks ago.

9) I am grateful for my therapist and the therapist I started therapy with. Both of them have helped me greatly, over the last couple of years.

10) I like living alone.

11) I like to keep simple note reminders on the back of my front door.

12) I like all of my neighbors. They know who has permission to come by to visit and they know who is not welcome to come by. We all watch out for each other in positive productive ways.

13) I want to go visit my friends who live down the coast from me. It's been ages since we've had a chance to visit, so hopefully soon, by summer at least, we'll catch up and enjoy a weekend of fun.

14) I don't drink soda pop or sugary beverages. I prefer water or herbal tea. Lemonade in the summer, if it is sugar-free.

15) Lately, I don't read books as much as I used to. Instead, I have certain magazines that I get in the mail, every month. The books I used to have here at home? I've given them all away to either neighbors or to a local library.

16) I like to design and sew my own clothes. I plan to shop for a sewing machine, later this year.

17) I put my car up for sale. If I get a decent price for it, I plan to buy something entirely new and different.

18) I broke my left foot, years ago, when I was in my late twenties. Totally ridiculous accident while walking, but you can still see how the bones in my foot did not mend right, so I marvel at my left foot, these days.

19) After all the summers I've sat outside and basked in the sunshine, I still am lucky that my skin is supple and cancer free. My mother though, she has not been so lucky. She's got skin cancer. So I am careful now, when I sit outside in the sunshine.

20) I had to fill out a health history questionnaire recently. I think these types of inquiry forms are dangerous to the well being of patients who might not question why questions like I saw on the form being asked. It's obscene and highly intrusive, the health questionnaire questions I have seen on certain health forms.

21) I cannot fully give up carrots or carrot cake. It's like someone tangled up with a horrible smoking addiction. Or something like that. I can go weeks without missing carrots, and then hello! Oh, that carrot cake looks so goooood. LOL (or not).

22) I have aging spots on my hands. I can see wrinkles too. So far, aging into my 60s is going to be hard on me as I progress toward 70. I'm learning how to honor what physical beauty I have and to nurture all the inner beauty I've had for years.
