5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

Soft*Silver · 08-28-2010, 02:13 PM

1. I am petrified of dating again. I seriously get nauseated and extremely anxious when someone shows interest. Just when I thought I had it all worked through, it has come back again, more severe than it had been in the past. I was terribly hurt in two consecutive relationships in the past decade and I am more than a little gun shy. Phobic is the best word that comes to mind.

2. I love going to zoos! I use to work in one, in landscaping so I have a whole other perspective when I go to a zoo. I use to know all kinds of interesting facts about each species and sounded like a tour guide when I would go with someone. I cant wait for grandkids so I can go to bunches of zoos with them!

3. lemon is one of my favorite flavors.

4. I have eaten squirrel meat. I was not impressed.

5. I am quite shy and introverted personally but for work, I am an extrovert and very at ease with people individually and in a group

1. I collect Monopoly games. I have about 35 of them so far, in various themes. I have loved the game since I was 8 years old.

2. I collect Johnny West toys by Marx. I used to play with them when I was little and pretend I was one of the cowboys on the horse.

3. I am very nostalgic. (see #1 and #2). laughs.

4. I love My family with all My heart and would do anything for them. Especially My Mom.

5. I have been likened to an onion and a porcupine. The onion for the layers, the porcupine for My (sometimes) grumpy nature. However, once you get to know Me and take the time to get through the quills and delve into the layers, I believe you will find it was a worthwhile journey.

1. Sometimes I miss little intricacies in relationships, like picking up on the fact that sometimes people DO want you to pry a little when they answer a question I figure they will tell me if they want to tell me and move on, sometimes resulting in hurt feelings on their part and confusion on mine.

2. If left to my own devices I believe I would end up being a hermit. Not because I don't love my friends but because by the time I looked up and noticed I wanted to be around people, the relationships would have withered from lack of cultivation. This is why I schedule things on my calendar like "call friends"

3. When I changed fields from being a health care compliance auditor to a professor I had a hard time with deciding how to act at work with colleagues. I have made a chart that shows what is considered "socially appropriate behavior" and I work it like a formula. Again if left to my own devices I would ignore them and be viewed as weird and socially inept which would not only make me feel awkward (as I have no ill will toward them) but also hurt my promotion opportunities thus my financial opportunities.

4. Apparently I am good at being social at work because I am generally well liked and people think I am outgoing and gregarious. I wonder if they would think the same if they knew I had to create a formula to do it.

5. When I was a young adult,I became obsessed with 'normal' and read about social interactions, manners, proxemics, culture and psychology to figure out how to relate to people. When in doubt I default to manners and what is studied to be culturally appropriate, it usually works

Re Venus Aspergers Post.

Deeply touched at her sense of self.

Soft*Silver · 10-02-2010, 12:32 AM

I have an incredibly intense involuntary reaction to a mouth on my feet, specifically my toes.

I really hate circus peanuts but my mother loved them so I have a sacred memory bank related to them...and smile everytime I hear about Gemme and her cravings...

I miss being able to ride a back. With my health issues, I havent been able to ride a bike for years. However recently I saw a three wheel bike and think I might be able to handle it!

I want a simple every day pearl necklace. And yes, I would wear it every day.

I love slow dancing and next partner, I want to make sure we get a chance to go dancing often. I hate other forms of dancing but oh, can there be anything so simple yet so intimate publicly one couple can do?

I do love the crack that is circus peanuts.

I'm craving them at this very minute, actually.

*sigh*

Four of them are 140 calories.

I eat a bag at a time.

If they made circus peanut cake, I'd be doomed.

OMG! That many calories in peanuts? Does this include the shells?
