Full-size pie shells (refrigerated, not frozen), pizza cutter, and bob's your uncle. Do I win a pie?

1. I have a lot of brown and it gets a lot of wear. I like brown. UPS, too. Known a lot of butches to work there.

2. I love sweet potato pie, but I really miss the little sweet potato cakes we used to get when we visited my grandmother when I was a kid.

3. I used to read voraciously, but I have a hard time getting into books anymore.

4. I have several friends who have been my friends for more than 20 years.

5. I rarely wear any purple or pink.

i still need the individual pie shells. i don't have teeny tiny pie pans...if i find the shells, they should have the pans.

if ever i find the shells, i'll add you to my pie list.

(i wanna see if i can interest a local coffeehouse in some small pies...can always use some travel cash or money for more camera equipment)

1. The first song I learned to play on guitar as a kid was Stairway to Heaven.

2. My 7th grade math teacher, Mr. Branch, thought I was a boy for the first 9 weeks of school.

3. When I was 14, I accidently drove my friend's mom's car into a swamp. What made it even worse is that they were both in the car at the time, along with two other friends.

4. My friends in high school always got accused of doing the mischievous things that I actually did.

5. The football coaches at my school asked me to be quaterback for our high school football team.

1 - I only became Fluent in Spanish & Catalan at the age of 10, I had no choice, My mother enrolled me in Elementary, Dropped a buncha comic books on my lap {popeye, archie, Condorito}, told me the alphabets, and the Vowels and said "if u wanna know what they're saying, thats what u need"...6 months later, Im talkin like speedy gonzales....
Before that? all I ever knew was the spanish version of "give me water, where's the bathroom, don't fuck with me"
unfortunately, i told the last bit to my very conservative gramma when we arrived*she wanted to tickle me*...


2- I'm profoundly Deaf, but it was Progressive..by the age of 6 I was classified by many teachers as a "lost cause"...
Twice I got stuffed in special Ed., and both times the teachers said I didnt belong there...I developed an uncanny skill at body language reading along with lip-reading, so that helps against pisspoor liars & braggarts..I dont know much ASL...but what I do know so far, I suppose the Deaf community finds acceptable.If my 'partner' and I have a serious communication issue, I break out the pen and paper.


3- I have a lightning-quick temper...I can be reasoned with though, most of the time...My relatives often call me "aballarde"{fire ant}...I s'pose combination redhead and puertorican doesnt help....[hmm, one cousin calls me chester cheetah, but i ignore her]

4- I love music, Theater & cinema

5- I'm a sappy softie with small furry animals{and prickly animals}, specially ferrets...and guinea pigs...

[Gemme]

1. I am very much the Gemini (not so difficult to see) in that I have a very lighthearted, happy side (again, not so difficult to see) but I also have a very deep, dark side that most people don't see. That is not by chance, either. I don't like having it, so I know others won't like seeing it.

2. Until recently, I was somewhat obsessed with NOT becoming my mother. For those that don't know, my mom was a paranoid schizophrenic. Thankfully, due (in part) to my fascination with shows like House, ER, Mercy...etc....I have come to learn (and more importantly, accept) that the older I get, the likelihood that I will develop the condition diminishes. It wouldn't be so bad for me, I suppose, but the remainder of my family would be devastated.

3. I struggle with S.A.D. and find myself very frustrated with those that cannot grasp the concept and/or don't take the time to try to understand the significance it has on my life not only in general, but especially this time of year.

4. I have no patience for those that have no patience for me. Hypocritical? Yes. Apologies? None.

5. Drunk people, especially men and very masculine members of our community, simultaneously annoy and terrify me. This has increased with age. As a child and up to around age 12, I could drink anyone under the table without getting drunk myself (and did). I've actually never been drunk. I had no issues with going to bars and events where alcohol flowed easily in my early 20s but now that I am in my mid-thirties...I tend to purposely avoid places where I know there will be alcohol or go with a group of trusted people, but even in that case....I don't like it.

LOL So am I!!

I met 75% of my friends in an AOL Chat room we were all regulars in. two of them lived in the same town and others all around but we would all meet up to discuss the artists we all loved. to this day we are all still close and and and 2 of them are coming to see my in 2 weeks.

it's great!

1. I pretended I was sick so often when I was younger that now it's hard to take a sick day from work without feeling guilty.

2. I almost failed high school in my senior year, despite getting all A's, because I missed so many days.

3. A quality I love in my partner is that she routinely helps elderly and disabled people that she sees when she's out and about. I don't find her need to feed the poor, freezing squirrels as endearing!

4. I love to dance and wish I could go dancing more often.

5. Somehow I managed to find a job that pays pretty well and has flexible hours. I'm still getting used to the lower stress--it's actually been a difficult adjustment. Guilt, again. What is that about?

*grin* Awesome, yes?
Earlier this year, I got to meet in person, for the first time, a dear friend that I have known for 12 years. It totally rocked. It was almost surreal.

1. I work really well on deadline and always make them. However, when I have days to write a story, I find that I put it off until it's on deadline. I'm doing that right now. Procrastination, much?
2. I love what I do, but the pay sucks so badly that I'm considering going a total different direction in profession. Numbers, anyone?
3. I'm pretty proficient singing and playing the guitar on Rock Band, but my drumming leaves much to be desired. And all those years of air drumming, I thought I had rhythm. *grin*
4. I mentally run through the things in my life whenever I'm sitting here trying to compose these lists. Nine times out of 10, my lists come from things I see here in my living room.
5. If left up to me, my television might never get turned on.

Hey! I was in those aol chat rooms too!

1) I dont put tv or the radio on in the house just to have something on. I like to sit in my stillness. It helps keep me in the moment...

2) I am not a music fan. I could live without hearing music at all, in fact. Yet, I am constantly singing at work.

3) I sniff. Yes. Sniff Sniff. I tend to have sinus problems and allergies so I sniff. But they are delicate femme sniffs

4) I am MORTIFIED if someone tries to talk to me when I am in the bathroom..for any reason...

5) I HATE the scent of vanilla. It can actually make me gag and throw up if it is too strong or sudden..

[Rook]

I've been on Dialysis for 3 1/2 yrs...

I despise..Utterly...being even Mildly Cold unless it's very hot outside, and yes I will be exceedingly grouchy and unbearable until I'm comfortable.....

I believe in Chivalry at all times....until you hurt me, or piss me off.

I was raised Islamic while my parents were married, at the age of 7 I discovered a different religion, which left a lifelong impression for me..Buddhism, I wasnt allowed to visit anymore after the neighbor took me to some dharma center off base w/o his permission...after the divorce, mum's family.....hmm...overwhelmed me with their diversity...Catholics, hidden Sephardi, Santeria{this one i already knew, but..in-depth was...wow}, Pentecostals...

I'm a chocoholic...I'm not just throwing the word around...I'll indulge in the occasional Twix, if Im 'desperate'..Otherwise...? Belgians, Swiss, German...Sometimes French..

I'm diagnosed with Dyscalculia..
