I have dreamed of living in Maine my whole life...

I love tattoos...

- For as fearless as I often can be or will be, I also have fears that immobilize me (until my fearless side kicks in again).

- I love to bask in the sun: The sun came out for a bit today and it felt so nice to feel the warmth of the sun on my back.

- I really wanted to go shopping and indulge myself with a new dress and shoes and a new silk slip and some stockings; but instead, I made sure that household expenses were taken care of for several months (I'm still without full time employment).

- I like to go browsing for unusal items of interest in antique stores.

- I love to hear the sound of the train late at night. It soothes me.

1. I cooked in a "Gourmet Cowboy Cuisine" restaurant for years.

5 things!
 

1. I despise beets.
2. I can and will express my feelings through actions; just please don't ask me
to talk about how I "feel" because I hate that shit.
3. However, I like it when people talk to me about their feelings, lol; I am an
excellent listener and I really enjoy people.
4. I have a fuse like a firecracker, but five minutes later I will have forgotten
all about it.
5. I detest cell phones and have no interest in being accessible 24/7.

1. I am a amateur photographer
2. I am a cold hearted bitch with the softest heart
3. I am simplicity on steroids
4. I actually like country music, but shhh don't tell my honey
5. I can two step circles around most people

1. I had to have my Chevy Pickup towed today. :( Thankfully I have AAA! :)

2. Some know but most do not, that I am big time into Bushcrafting, (the short answer to that ? on your face is, it's wilderness/primitive skills, tool making etc.) and as part of the process, I am learning to do a weaving method called finger weaving. It's very cool, but is also painstakingly slow to do. I am weaving a hatband for my bush hat with 16 strands of fine jute twine.

3. A person in the queer community, but offline, laughed at me when they found out I was learning this finger weaving. I really do not care what they think about it. It's cool, and I'm doing it, and that makes it even cooler! :nyahnyah:

4. I love finding interesting free books to add to my Kindle collections.

5. Of all that I've lost, I miss having a partner and I miss having a fishing/hang out buddy the most.

1. Even though I tend to dive right in to arguments and debates, I really hate conflict. It's just that I hate injustice more, so when I see it, I've got to speak up.
2. I have a zoo at home: 2 cats, a dog, a bunny, and two aquariums. I love my critters.
3. I'm a homebody. I like going out, but I recharge when I'm by myself in a way I can't with other people.
4. I'm the only non-Baptist on the planning committee for my 20th high school reunion. This should be interesting!
5. I am still friends with my very first girlfriend, a lovely femme I dated when I was fifteen. I am usually friends with my exes unless they did something horrible. The way I see it, if I liked you well enough to date you, then why wouldn't I like you well enough to be your friend when we're done dating?

5 things
 

(1) I cry at most movies ( if there is a really happy part or even sad i cry)
(2) I feel like a square peg in a round hole I just dont fit in anywhere.
(3) I have had the same best friend for 23 yrs and she is still my bestie
(4) I always wanted green eyes instead of the bark brown ones I have
(5) If it wasnt for my oldest daughter I most likely wouldnt be here.. When I found out i was pregnant with her I changed my life and cleaned myself up

1. I find most people annoying

2. After being around a large group of people for a period of time I need a recharge period or I will bite heads off.

3 Just because you think I am funny and out going doesn't mean I am. Usually I am an introvert that uses sarcasm as a weapon and a shield.

4. I like to randomly jump out at my honey and scare him silly.

5. My black and white kitty Loki likes to sleep under the covers on my belly, but man is he getting HUGE!

1. I think in song lyrics.

2. A well turned phrase can bring me to my knees.

3. I will always watch Mama Mia if it comes on the telly. It matters not that I've seen it a hundred times. And, I will always feel a wee bit of disappointment if I miss the beginning. Nope, it's true (And yes, I always sing along.)!

4. I moisturize my lips with a bit of honey. It not only softens but tastes great too.

5. I believe that bananas and strawberries are lovers. It's the only explanation as to why they are so utterly tasty together.

5 things....
 

1) I feel others' pains very deeply and would not want to be any different, though I have struggled with this most of my life.

2) I think intelligence takes many forms; I am fond of them all, but relish most of all a heart of gold.

3) At 43 I finally figured out what makes my knees weak - integrity and taking responsibility in your life.

4) I am very hard to get close to.

5) I wish the world were full of Forrest Gumps. We need that.

1. That I'm very ticklish

4. That I want my new friend to be the one
5. That I'm starting to love my evil cat

Fluffy bits.
 

1. I have been known to stomp my foot when frustrated. And yes, it looks somewhat like a tantrum. But, I am not admitting to being 'tantrumy'.

2. I may seem aloof, but I'm actually quite friendly. It just takes a bit of work to get over my moat and to the castle door (beware the crocodiles, they're hungry).

3. I adore sipping martinis poolside. And, I miss my life in Los Angeles quite a bit.

4. I'm rather Southern in my ways. I detest being rushed, and I tend to do things methodically (i.e. putting on my makeup and my evening ablutions are experiences, not tasks).

5. I can not say the word 'thistle'. I find it quite vexing when my wee bit of a lisp takes over. So, I avoid this word at all costs (and no, I won't say it for you either. But I know you want to hear it.) ; )

5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone
 

I'm actually rather shy in person, bashful even and quick to blush. If I am really attracted to a woman, I will do one of two things: find it difficult to talk / go quiet (does not happen as often) OR ramble like hell-- "a mile a minute".

I like cars, especially the old muscle cars. But I am not comfortable driving because of my vision, and I'll go out of my way entirely to avoid driving at night.

I was brought up in the "Church of Christ" and questioned everything they told me. It used to irritate the hell out of the preacher. Later, I converted to Mormonism, was preparing for the priesthood and had a "crisis of conscious" because I am trans. Although the ward I was a member of didn't fully comprehend my situation, considered it a birth defect, and accepted me, I couldn't do it. I'm pretty much an Agnostic. I guess you could say I am still searching.

I was a nationally-ranked musician in high school. At one point, I even dreamed of performing in the North Carolina Symphony. I was offered scholarships that would have paid for everything but turned them down as I did not want to pursue a career in music. It's one of the decisions I sometimes regret in my past.

I never dated after I left home for college. I came out as a lesbian in college (had not accepted myself as a transman at this point), but I was too shy to date. Friends were so concerned that I wasn't even trying to date that they would try hooking me up on blind dates. The first time I even considered saying yes, the girl, Darcy, said I was too short: I am 5'5" and she was a few inches taller, like... 5'8" or something. Most of the women I have dated since that time, ironically, have been taller than me.

1. I tell myself stories to fall asleep. For the last month or so it has been about an enormous talking dragon who wears glasses and has pet cats.

2. I actively seek experiences that give me a feeling of transcendence or being "at one" with the universe. I don't believe in God.

3. I miss having children in my life and am looking forward to being a Memaw

4. It is very hard for me to switch gears from work to home. I am grateful for my long drive to decompress.

5. I am passionate and slightly obsessed with what I do for a living, I find it fascinating and most often am reading about it, thinking about it, teaching about it, or talking about it.

1) I cherish days where I do not have to do a single thing because life for me is often too busy - so it feels wonderful to do whatever I want to do, even if all I do is gaze out the window and watch the smoke from the nieghbors chimney waft lazily toward the sky.

2) I worry that I'll fall asleep on my communte home by train after a long evening of work.

3) I like to spend time in the kitchen baking bread or making cookies.

4) I like warm summer afternoons.

5) I collect bottle caps, marbles, rocks and pine cones so I can make beautiful objects of art out of them. Especially pine cones.

1. I have a huge Pez collection... love the dispensers, as for the candy. Meh.

2) I studied the art of Mime for over 5 years.

3) I was scouted for a roller derby team! Loved the practice, but couldn't stop cringing otherwise!

4) I own eucalyptus groves in Portugal.

5) I'm part camel and part goat: i love to endurance walk!
