5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[labete]

1. My 30s have been better than my 20s, which were better than my teens, which were better than my early childhood. I'm looking forward to what my 40s bring.

2. If all goes according to plan, I am only about 6 months away from being an empty-nester. I have never lived alone before and am trying to prepare myself.

3. I keep chopsticks, dog treats, and coffee in my desk at work at all times.

4. I have someone really special in my life who barely does email and doesn't do forums or other online communities at all.

5. I like reptiles, especially snakes and geckos. It makes me angry when someone kills a snake merely for existing. Not many things make me angry, but wanton killing is around the top of the list.

Bonus: In the last couple of months I've had my first ever revenge fantasies, all featuring the incompetent consultant I'm currently required to report to at work, who makes huge, business-continuity-threatening mistakes and blames them all on me.

1. I am addicted to the Twilight Saga, and the Sookie Stackhouse Series.

2. I am half Puerto Rican and half Mexican but cant speak spanish (only the bad words hehe)

3. I like to cook an think i am pretty good at it too!

4. I love senseless comedy (Fanboys, Sex Drive, Superbad, Half Baked, Southpark)

5. I work 2 jobs and have 4 kids and LITERALLY have no time for myself

[Gemme]

1. I love Corn Pops and Fruit Loops, but not together.

2. I've eaten about 8 Jolly Rancher candy canes tonight.

3. I'm going to make guac tomorrow. My new favorite snack is guac with salsa and chips. Before this past year, I never cared for guacamole.

4. I'm making a crockpot full of bacony pinto beany goodness this weekend.

5. I used to be more of a Pepsi person, but as I've aged, I've switched camps to Coke.

[Jet]

I'm a designer and a white pager.
I rely on my instincts in the creative process
which works 9 times out of ten.

I don't do cock fights or pissing contests.
My person is as common and rugged an old western
and I'm secure with those qualities.

I'm a practicing Catholic as far as my heart allows, not as the church allows.

I don't like vulgar language except in bed.

I'm quiet and unpredictable.

• I enjoy movies from the 1970's and make apretty watch them with me over and over again.
• I'm back in the classroom for the first time in over 20 years.
• I was the MC for my junior high school talent show. It was the last time I participated in an extra curricular school activity.
• I enjoy the public library.
• Real pizza is my favorite food. Ham and pineapple on pizza is not an option.
• I'm addicted too Bubble Shooter.

1. I am irrationally afraid of non domesticated rodents, bats, and poisonous snakes and spiders. Other than the fears listed I love all animals and have had mice and hamsters for pets and currently have an albino corn snake as a pet.

2. I battled anorexia and my self image in high school. I have traveled very far from that place. I no longer allow myself to intentionally starve and learned how to let food be a small part of life not a big part or the center of my life. I still have irrational and low self esteem and avoid looking at my body to prevent the past from recurring.

3. I play the flute and have always listened to classical music. My favorite composer is Mozart and I love Ammadeus the movie. Didnt care about accuracies.

4. I have been depressed for too long and its not easy for me to be positive and hopeful. I work very hard at it.

5. I can accept and love anyone, flaws included, forgive and give multiple chances for any mistake made. But lying and deciet will cause me to become paranoid and is the fastest way to lose me, friend or family or lover. Because I am so accepting and loving it makes it impossible for me to overlook it. There are no reasons to fear being honest with me. So once the lying happens, I need that trust rebuilt and efforts made to believe that person again.

1. I play the flute, too. I used to think I was really good, but now I know that I'm not. I played for a while in a community orchestra, and might do that again some day.

2. Although I'm an emotional, sensitive person, I see no reason to argue bitterly, raise voices, or slide into irrational behavior when disagreeing in a relationship. When that does happen, it takes a piece of me.

3. I would like to lose weight and get into better shape before my 50th birthday in August. I *always* wait until the last minute....

4. I feel better when my children are with me. Even at 17 and 22.

5. If I could, I'd move to PA to be closer to family. I don't see that happening while my daughter is still in school and getting services from local agencies.

[Jet]

I admire talent in others more than anything.

I wanted to be a screenwriter; it will never happen.

I've had a "one-in-about-500,000,000" experience that I survived but shouldn't have.

If there were no tomorrow for me, I would be good with that.

I'm generous unconditionally.

Maybe she was the very FIRST one ever tried there.

[ShyViolet]

1. I have too many college degrees. Or not enough. I haven't decided yet.
2. I am terrified that people won't like me, so I tend to reject them first.
3. I am fiercely loyal to my friends and would do anything for them.
4. I once fed a toddler iguana food. Not on purpose. I don't get to babysit anymore.
5. I spent 10 years as a roadie/merch wench/stage manager for a filk band.

Are you stepping to me already Bo? After one day?

Hobbling out on my arthritic knees...

Now would I do that?

[LadyFlamezzz]

I am estranged from most of my blood family since my Mom passed over five years ago.
I rarely saw my family even when she was alive.
I love all animals
I have a tad bit of a temper
And I have been incarcerated more than once...more than twice...more than three times...and yes more than four times.
end of sharing,lol

1) I have no tattoos, but not because I have anything against them. I just haven't decided on one that's meaningful enough to brand myself with for life.

2) I don't like guinea pigs. I really, really, really don't like centipedes or millipedes.

3) I have 6 pairs of black boots. I need about 6 more, but don't know where I'd put them.

4) Right now, I could really go for an everything bagel with a schmear of cream cheese and lox. Or two.

5) I've always enjoyed rollercoasters and carnival rides, but now they give me a fierce case of motion sickness.

[Duchess]

When I'm in the mood for a yummy cocktail I also have to have the perfect glass...
I think toe sucking is....
I've never wanted children....
I've had to jump off a spooked horse....
The scarier the movie, the bigger the thrill....

I have never played a video game other than pacman, and that was only a few times in the 80s. I hated it and still do

I use to listen in on the party lines, when I was a child. Its how I got some of the best education!

I have grown quite fond of living by myself. No partner. No child. Just me and the four leggeds.

I would date Tracie Chapman if she would let me. Well, if Camo would let me too...lol (he has his "fantasy person" too!)

I dont know how to sew
