A bit about you.

Apocalipstic · 05-13-2011, 12:10 PM

I loveeeeeeeeeeee House Hunters International! I DVR it when I can.

Anticipation does rock!

Cookies? anything with no peanuts....total fav. Shortbread biscuits from M&S.

Inside jokes with just me....I have a Super 8 ball on my desk at work and when people ask me dumb questions like how long my boss is going to be on the phone....I hand them the 8 ball.

Cookies: i can eat the heck out of some Oreos, but they are actually my LEAST favorite cookie! There's no such thing as a bad cookie!

Oatmeal raisin, White chocolate macadamia, peanut butter, and shortbread take turns at top honors, with a special category all its own for Fig Newtons.

Kätzchen · 05-13-2011, 02:12 PM

My star sign: Gemini,

I'm second eldest of 6 siblings,

my favorite cookies are homemade chocolate chip/walnut cookies made with Haitian Vanilla (my mother brought me back a case of this vanilla years ago and I'm almost out of it - yummy stuff, umm hmmm - I only use it for special ocassions)

My favorite cake is German Chocolate cake,

I like all types of food, but I favor Mediterranean cuisine.

Did you or someone ask about favorite films or TV shows?

I couldn't narrow down a favorite in film but I could say that
I like shows such as: The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Bones, Dexter.

And British comedy!

Love political satire, the most!

Merlin · 05-13-2011, 03:34 PM

Am loving all the responses here =]

Apocalipstic · 05-13-2011, 04:07 PM

It's a great thread Merlin, thank you for starting it!

Cake? What's my favorite? Cake! all cake. Victoria Sponge makes me squeal and clap my hands though, as does Sacher Torte and anything chocolate with raspberry!

TV? Bones, House Hunters International, True Blood, Law and Order (all of them including the British version), Weeds, So You Think You Can Dance & Project Runway.

Birth order? I am the oldest and pretty typically bossy. lol.

Favorite airline? Virgin Atlantic

Favorite drink in US: Diet Rite Cola, with lots of ice and a straw.

Favorite drink in UK: Lemonade and orange juice mixed with any ice I can get.

Cool thread--

I am not much of a chocolate fan, but there isn't a type of cake or cookie that I'd refuse except dark chocolate. At the moment, I could go for something lemon. Lemon cake with coconut icing, and lemon cooler cookies. Ummmm.....

Leo, oldest of three, only girl. Not bossy, but I typically get my way.

Only one to move more than an hour from home. Now I wish I were closer!

Love Indian food most of all, but any ethic cuisine holds my interest.

Love to dance, but don't get to very often.

I'm a clinical social worker. I'm a psychotherapist working with nursing home residents by day, and children and families by night.

I have two daughters, 23 and 19. Also have four amazing cats and an elderly border collie/lab mix.

Gemme · 05-13-2011, 06:57 PM

I have one half brother who is 11.5 years older than me. He defected from the family years ago. I miss my nephews. I wonder how many I have now.

Sweets, yes. Cake, cookies, pie, torts, cupcakes, crepes, etc. I'm not a fan of chocolate by itself but mix it with pb, caramel, coconut or some other equally strong flavoring and I'm good to go.

I love CSI (original best), Bones, L&O, SVU, and other forensics-y shows. One day, I may need to know something I learned from them.

I love dance. I used to boogie down all the time, but not so much anymore. I've never been a 'dancer' per se, but I have noticed a difference in how I move now versus when I was more bendy.

Through music, all things are possible.

My boss' boss loves me. To pieces. Thinks the world of me. I kinda like that.

Um, what else?

I keep thinking of the scene where Sarah Jessica Parker is introducing herself to her new class in Girls Just Want to Have Fun and she's trying to think of something but finally says, "I looooove to dance!" That scene makes me smile.

I love movies. All kinds, except horror. Funny gorrors (gory light horror flicks), like the Final Destination or Nightmare on Elm Street series are okay though.

I haven't eaten anything of substance today. An apple and some snack bags of chips and that's it. I should probably go do something about that.

Trishagee · 05-14-2011, 08:45 AM

Great thread for a lurker... easy to post once and hide again

I am a manager of Homeowner Associations... the person that is most hated when you live in one! I live in Los Angeles but was raised in the O.C. (prefer LA though!)

Although not a big fan of peanut butter, I do like a bit once in a while with an apple or with chocolate, always creamy!

I am a Scorpio...

I do watch Idol, but now that everyone I like is gone, I am done!

I am pretty boring with my music tastes... I like old stuff, does Shirley Horn count, she lived in England

I guess if I had to pick a band, I would say Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd and of course the Beatles! Currently I am enamored with Adelle!

I love to travel, but haven't traveled much in last 7 years, I have been about everywhere north of the equator... time to travel South, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil!

I am the oldest of 4 and a true oldest child, I totally believe in birth order theories... I have a take charge personality, which could be the Scorpio influence also... or it could be that I was also an only child for 8 years before the next was born... who knows!

I love to cook and garden.... but I have to say my favorite hobby is to shop!!!

Steampunk... I love the boarderland series... does that count???

I prefer to listen to sounds made by Mother Nature rather than human-made ear-drum-busting noise like traffic, trains and inconsiderate humans blasting their surround sound ALL night long....

i drive people crazy b/c i am not interested in nature at all. mostly because i find nature benign. i like to focus all of my studying/traveling/listening energy on human culture because forewarned is forearmed

I was born first and while I exhibit some of those traits, I'm still a long ways off from being some of what it says I should be ........... I'm a perfectionist but I'm also a nurturer, people pleaser, crave approval, am a caregiver and possess a "grin and bear it" mentality

My family has two cats, Tigger (boy) and Muffin aka Muffy (girl)
