Hey! I was in those aol chat rooms too!

1) I dont put tv or the radio on in the house just to have something on. I like to sit in my stillness. It helps keep me in the moment...

2) I am not a music fan. I could live without hearing music at all, in fact. Yet, I am constantly singing at work.

3) I sniff. Yes. Sniff Sniff. I tend to have sinus problems and allergies so I sniff. But they are delicate femme sniffs

4) I am MORTIFIED if someone tries to talk to me when I am in the bathroom..for any reason...

5) I HATE the scent of vanilla. It can actually make me gag and throw up if it is too strong or sudden..

Five things that people would not know about me:

1) I have seen many Ghosts in my life time.

2) I can tell alot about a person by looking in thier eyes.

3) I like to have my back scratched.

4) I am a very good lover.

5) I like cream cheese on crackers with stuffed olives sliced on top.

I have 5 more things but you will have to get to know me to find those out. LOL

1. I seem to be more self-conscious than the average person.

2. I love spinach, especially with garlic.

3. I like to watch Criminal Minds, but I usually have to turn it off because the subject matter is so upsetting. I don't like to be reminded how degraded human beings can become.

4. After working with older people who have no money, I worry about getting older and needing care.

5. We have five cats, but my favorite is Zoe. She a long, sleek black cat with tons of energy, a thunderous purr, and a meow that sounds like it's from outer space. She says, "me'eeep!"

I dated a priest

I have a thing for curtains and if someone I partner with tries to take control of what goes on the windows, this spells "danger danger Will Robinson" for the relationship

Moody Blues were and are still my favorite band
which says alot since I dont like listening to music

I am incredibly easy to please. Time spent over a piece of pie, a drive thru the drive thru for a diet coke when I am parched, little FB messages for me to wake up to...yeah..thats all it takes.

I cant eat or drink ginger without feeling nauseaus

K,i'll give this a try...

1-I often dont know what to say to ppl so I stay on general subjects.
2- I have a dry sence of humor,wich some dont get..but to the folks who take the time to know me ,i'm a total crack up.
3-I cant handel booze so I rarely drink more than soda,unsweet tea or juice.
4-I'm profoundly deff so I often an preseved as ignoreing ppl wich i'm not.
5-I collect old toys and miusic boxes as well as boxes of many sizes..I have one thats 1 1/2 inches long made of ceader with a mother of pearl top.I love the music boxes best.

Rockin

I have 16 nieces and nephews between the ages of 12 years and 8 months (6 siblings)
I am very self-conscious
I LOVE to read.. almost anything except romance and laweryish type stuff (like Grisham)
I love cats, like dogs and have an evil rabbit.. She growls at me. Only me.
I like to kayak, but am terrified of water.. especially rivers. :blink:

I am terrified of heights in any form. In a car I will climb to the side that isn't on the edge.

In the shower I close my eyes and compose music for operas.

I have to change purses everyday. I can't stand using the same one for more than a day or two.

I pretty much only wear dresses and heels. I only own one pair of sneakers.

I fancy people with accents.

5 (more) things
 

I have won 2 contests in my life...one was for the largest bubble blown (with gum) and the other was a bench pressing contest...

I am concerned that I am becoming an example of the phrase "the one who dies with the most fabric wins"...I am Mad for fabrics...and leathers...and, well, anything I can get a needle and thread through...

I have two new floor model industrial sewing machines (juki for those who care) and a regular home machine, and although I sew most every day, I send out all my dresses to be hemmed...I really can't stand that kind of sewing...the girl at the dry cleaners store laughs at me all the time...but, let's be honest--who actually Wants to hem a dress?...not I said the little red hen (wink icon)

I've been to culinary school...I've taught baking and basic cooking...for years and years I made all our bread...and cakes and cookies and pies...I'm able to can and preserve and pickle and do all that kind of stuff...I'm tired of doing it all...it's so much work...I will do it for gifts...and if I want to impress someone, but the problem with that is then they figure it's an all the time thing (insert rueful shrug icon)

I taught at standford university in the english department (many years ago) one of the students who didn't like me wrote a scathing review of the class...his last line was "what can you expect?...she's from new york and she's a Jew!!"...I think that weakened his argument...

1. I'm both one of the most ambitious and laziest people I know, resulting in high mediocrity much of the time.

2. I have always been afraid of heights, but now it's ridiculous. High escalators freak me out, but I force myself to use them.

3. I won an art contest when I was six or seven. I still have the plaque somewhere. I also won several prizes at dances when I was a teenager. The DJ would walk around and award prizes to the best dancers. My best prize was a Moody Blues album, "Days of Future Past".

4. I would like to renovate my house (a 50's ranch) so it resembles an arts and crafts cottage.

5. We're getting ready to go away for the weekend. Going to Lake George for V-Day and Winter Carnival.

1. I truly believe that my :dog: smells like maple syrup (and some others have agreed. Of course, they may just be being nice since I point it out with such enthusiam..and they probably fear that if they said no I would make them smell my dog again.).

2. I was "taken" by someone for $500 that I met and "dated" online (whatever the hell that is), last year. :doh: She SAYS she is still going to pay me, though...:thinking:

3. I have the same microwave that I received as a gift from my grandmother when I graduated from grad school...in 1994! It works great!

4. I have never used my oven.

5. My father was scouted by the White Sox when he was in high school (he was a pitcher). He told them he was not interested because he wanted to marry my mother, have kids, and not be traveling all the time. I only found this out recently, and this was from a relative (not my father).

1. I never was taught how to tie my shoes. I did teach myself. And I tie them in a unique way.

2. I never learned how to tell time, and I still have a hard time with it sometimes.

3. I always have to have something nearby to read. In a hotel room, I have been known to read the local phone book if I have ran out of other things to read.

4. I am very shy and quiet in person.

5. I collect postage stamps.
