5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[anotherbutch]

I quit smoking.. cold turkey 2 years ago and havent touched a cigarette since.

I've lost 2 siblings to cancer.

My mother is a breast cancer survivor.

I've had 2 heart surgeries and it worked. I'm heart healthy now.

I'm terrified I will get breast cancer. My only sister died from breast cancer at the age I am now. (I just had a mammogram and am waiting for the results)

1) I love earrings. Its the main piece of jewelry I wear and I feel incomplete if I dont have a pair on.

2) I never buy anything yellow. And I just noticed this recently and come spring, I am willing myself to buy a yellow dress

3) I drive a jeep and my husband drives a jeep. We are a jeep family!

4) I have gone from 8 bookcases to 2 in the last few years.

5) I love to watch stupid sitcoms. I dont get a chance to watch much tv, so when I do, I indulge in the salt water taffy of tv shows...lol

to bump this thread..five other things about me

1) I am Russian Slavik/Romany. My maternal grandmother was an actual "gypsy" and my paternal side had a relative that played the violin for the czars.

2) I often try to have the last word....its a character flaw and it gets me in trouble. LOL. Its not as bad as it use to be but yeah, it still lingers as part of me

3) I really worry about why there arent more cemetaries. People die all the time and I believe we just dont have as many cemetaries as I think there should be to account for all the deaths.We have more apartments than graves and there have been FAR more people who have died than people who are currently alive. Where are all the dead people?

4) Speaking of dead people, my daughter is a professional medium. She does readings at a local holistic alternative spirituality shop, on a regular basis. She has quite the local following. She has had this gift since she was a child..she was always conjuring up spirits!

5) I keep all my old jewelry in old purses. I have about three big handbags full of dated jewelry. I cant wait for my grand daughters to get bigger so I can give them to them!

[Kätzchen]

1) I grew up in the Republican stranglehold of not only my home state, but was the only member of my family who did not adopt republican values or the typical mindset eschewed by members of my immediate family and extended family. I took a lot of heat for bucking family traditions. I was an outsider in my very own family. And I paid a huge price for it, growing up in my family.

2) I tend to favor the stories of the anti-hero, rather than buying into the story of the hero.

3) I'm not proud of having invested ten years of my life to become a member among the ranks of the so-called educated. Knowing what I know now is no different before I invested in an education. I'm not any smarter, thank heavens. I've just got a better set of .... skills, so to speak. Maybe one day I won't feel bitter about it, but I have grown cynical over time. I'm still growing, I'm still learning, I remain committed to an attitude of humility and seek to shape my life in ways which will help me to feel better about who I am and who or what I still could become.

4) I'm an artist, of sorts. I like to draw or paint or create sculpture.

5) I sometimes struggle with poetry. I appreciate poetry. I like to create poetry or prose. Sometimes I write vast amounts of literature; then I will go several years before my creative writing process comes back to life.

1) Lately my favorite candy is Chuckles

2) Once I lent someone I was close with on the first butch femme site six hundred dollars when she was in a crisis, and I never got it back, even when her life stabilized. The last time I called her trying to get the money was a number of years ago, and when she finally picked up the phone after many rings, she said, "You got me out of a bath!" I decided that it was getting silly, and I just had to let it go. At least I got her out of the tub

3) I have sweet blood so I always get bit by mosquitoes much more than anyone else.

4) I feel close with people on this site just by reading their posts for years even if I never post with them or chat with them

5) My gay brother and I have so much in common that once when we were home from college a gazillion years ago, my mom was folding our clothes that she had kindly laundered for us and she had to casually ask us, "Whose shirt is this?" It said, "Nobody knows I'm a submissive."

[Gypsy]

1. My real name IS Gypsy, my great aunt named me...lol And I grew into it...lol

2. Right now I live in a one room log cabin in TX and LOVE it

3. I haven't had a tv in 7 years

4. I sold my house on Dec 30, 2016, and moved to Texas in Jan 2017 knowing only one on-line friend...and not knowing where I was going...and I still don't know.

5. I didn't know I was a lesbian until I was 35...late bloomer ...lol

I love to make big meals for other people, and then hardly eat anything myself when it’s time. Recipes and meals are never the same twice, I have never followed a recipe all the way through, except for the cheese cake(I have yet to see it out done).

At some time in my life I want to acquire a decent parcel of property turn it in to a lovely bed and breakfast, grow my own produce. Knowing myself it would also end up a hodge podge of rescued animals.

I am crazy shy. Just awful at social interactions, my face flushes very red at the thought of talking to someone by choice that I don’t know, unless it is work related then I can talk laugh even flirt a bit, but speaking to someone because I might want to…. I’d rather turn tail or bury my head in the ground.

I love a rainy anything; I even prefer running errands and amusement parks in the rain.

I can never get there and their right, so I use other phrasing or rework the direction of my intention so I can avoid the words. I also can not spell some of the easiest words, but I can spell the more difficult so I appear to have a better vocabulary than I actually do.

[VintageFemme]

1. My favorite books in all the world are, The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Both changed my life at different times in my life.
2. My weakness is pastry. I cannot and will not ever say no to cake or pastries (most). Because I'm a vegetarian people assume I would be thin (i never understand why that is) but carbs are a girl's best friend. Sheet caking is real.
3. I do not like domestic flowers, except for sterling silver roses. I am more the wildflower kinda girl.
4. I would never wear a diamond. Ever.
5. While I am somewhat of a music snob, I confess (embarrassingly so) to loving the song, The Rain The Park and Other Things by The Cowsills.

[VintageFemme]

1. I've been making the same wish on stars, birthday candles, wishing wells, etc. since I was a little girl.
2. I love mobster movies. I will watch the Godfather trilogy all in one day and then the next day, watch Good Fellas.
3. I have a potty mouth and don't really trust people who don't swear regularly.
4. I'm becoming more and more a recluse with every passing year. Think Grey Gardens.
5. I don't drink soft drinks.
