[Gemme]

3. One of my childhood nicknames was Short Shit. I haven't quite outgrown it yet.

4. I keep the ashes of my favorite pet, Willow Anastacia, on the computer desk. Having her close helps me feel that she's still sort of here, like she's just in another room right now.

5. Though I'm a pretty good typist, I still have to look when I type numbers. Always.

6. I love music. I love Madonna. Both kept me sane through my craptastic childhood and are the only reasons I am still here today. You can not like her, but don't diss her or say that Lady Gaga is better than her because you will have a lengthy debate on your hands if you do.

7. Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire is one of my top 3 favorite songs, ever.

8. I've been married twice. Pregnant once. No children.

9. I have far too many clothes because I am a good shopper and because retail therapy is truly healing, albeit temporary.

11. I fancy myself a writer of sorts but have been muse-less for some time now.

13. I've lived in FL, WA, TX, MS and NY.

14. I'm half pure Italian and half mutt (French, English, Dutch, and Asian). There's more, I'm sure, but that's all that we can account for at this time.

15. My cell is archaic.

16. I love, love, love good erotica. Note: I said GOOD erotica. Crap is crap until it's good.

17. I may or may not be very opinionated.

18. I truly believe I was meant to be a redhead. Maybe next year I'll take the plunge.

19. I love chick flicks, especially rom coms.

20. Horror movies do not help my overactive imagination at all. I am more than happy to come into the room at the end and ask you to tell me about it though.

21. Lucky Charms is my go to comfort cereal, but I'll eat Basic 4 when I'm trying to eat better.

22. I want more tattoos.

23. My favorite movie of all time is Auntie Mame.

24. I've worn glasses since I was 14 months old. If I had a dollar for every pair I went through....

25. i was a Girl Scout from age 6 to 16 and i miss it!

[adorable]

1. I’m a fairly classic ENTP. While everyone thinks I’m such an extrovert, I disagree. Staying present is exhausting for me. I’m also a true Scorpio.
2. I always wanted to play the trumpet. In third grade someone let me borrow theirs and I tried for three weeks to make sound come out. No luck. That ended my love affair with the trumpet.
3. I played lacrosse on the boys team in high school.
4. I love books. I collect autographed copies. I was lucky to have a job at one point where I met important, published people.
5. I never curse or show disrespect to, or in front, of older people. Under any circumstances.
6. Surprise! I’m impulsive.
7. I love going to Yankee’s games. The last time I was set to go to Pride in NYC, I got tickets to the first Subway Series in the new Shea stadium, aka Citi Field. I never made it to Pride. The stadium was amazing, and of course, the Yankee’s won. (They throw games occasionally to keep people from complaining how they always win - they are humble that way.)
8. It took me three weeks to watch Schindler’s List. I could only watch small bits at a time. Then I’d lose it, regroup and force myself to watch a little more.
9. While I’m not afraid of heights, I am afraid of ladders. During firefighting training, we had to raise a 25 foot extension ladder in full gear and race to the top of the building. It was a timed test. I had the lowest time. I had no problem getting on the roof. Getting down was a different story. The instructor had to come up and talk me down. lol. I spent the rest of the day doing it over and over until I mastered it. I still hate ladders, but I can get off the roof. I did find that I was more motivated when the building was actually on fire.
10. I don’t really believe in superstitions, yet will still throw salt over my shoulder if it’s spilled, never walk under ladders, never lay hats on a bed or open umbrellas indoors. My grandmother put the fear of god into me when I was little.
11. I’m the only person in my family that has ever voted or went to college.
12. I’m am oldest child and very competitive.
13. I had serious hearing problems until the fourth grade. I learned to read everything to understand what was going on and it became my first great escape. I finished the entire Hardy Boys collection in second grade. My first “paper” in the sixth grade was a book report on the Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth.
14. Ham and cream cheese are delicious together. Cream cheese on hot dogs - delicious too.
15. I substitute ground turkey for anything that requires hamburger and quickly hide the package so no one knows. They never know. lol. Only turkey hot dogs too.
16. I may be one of only five people in the world that actually loves Grape Nuts cereal.
17. I hate the snow and dislike upstate NY. I have fallen in love with the idea of living in Ecuador.
18. Although I do love the ocean, I don’t swim anywhere where I can’t see the bottom.
19. I love poetry and the classics. I don’t have command over English in the way that great or even good writers do. So many rules. I’m only able to write from emotion. It made learning Spanish hard too. How can you learn the rules of another language without knowing what the rules are in your own? I have no idea what the past predicates or participles are, just that they exist.
20. I automatically assume that math, science, physics and statistics majors are smarter than me. I generally like them immediately and find them fascinating. My brain just doesn’t work that way.
21. I love to hear about what people do for a living. I could listen to those stories all day. Or how they came to this country, or stories about life up until 1960.
22. My favorite songs of all time are Radar Love by Golden Earring, Rhumboogie by the Andrew Sisters and Opus One by Tommy Dorsey. Random, I know. Music was my second great escape.
23. The minute I learned how to “Act as if” my life changed forever.
24. I once wrote a letter to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the king of Dubai and told him that I would love to visit his country, but he would need to change his policy against Israel. I haven’t heard back, so I assume he’s still thinking it over.
25. I’ve always been a news fanatic, even more so since 9/11. CNN is always on somewhere in my house and I usually run a live feed at work.

4. I hold in a lot and sometimes it becomes overwhelming.
5. I have a strong faith in God, but don't force it on others.
6. Music is very important to me. I love all kinds, but mainly country.
7. I try to be the best mom that I can be, but sometimes it's really hard.

9. During the week I work in a factory so my weekends are to feel girlie again.

[Gemme]

1. I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson's "Breaking Your Own Heart" right now, for the first time. I like it.

2. I'm waiting for my comforter to dry so I can go to bed and sleep soundly.

3. My home is a mess right now. I don't like that.

4. I feel like I'm approaching a fork in my life now and I truly feel as if I'm winging it. I sure hope I choose the best path.

5. I flat ironed my hair yesterday. I wish I could go to the salon and get the straightening treatment but there are two reasons that make me pause. One is the price. I can't justify hundreds of dollars for a couple months' straightness and also when you do that, the chemicals will alter the hair's shafts and I'm not sure I want to do that. I used to get spirals and in the back of my mind, there's still a part of me that wants to do it again. I was kind of adorable with curls.

6. My left foot was in a brace for a year when I was a toddler and is slightly longer and more narrow than my right foot.

7. Fingernails: French manicure. Toenails: Gray polish with a glitter finish. Next time, I think I may go for deep burgundy on the toes.

8. The days that I don't feel pretty far outnumber the days that I do, so I really relish those days.

9. I want more ink.

10. I have a cleft in my chin, kind of like John Travolta. I was teased in childhood about it.

11. I don't like the taste of chocolate by itself. It must have peanut butter or coconut or caramel with it or a combination thereof.

12. I wanted a belly button ring but the piercer said that my button wasn't shaped quite right for one. I still kind of want one, even though it would take forever to heal fully.

13. I have an art project that I have a ton of ideas for, but zero motivation. This is not unusual.

14. I hope Christmas 2012 is better than Christmas 2011.

17. I have a terrible sweet tooth.

18. I am a girl who's not had a long term relationship with a Daddy and that makes me sad, like I am missing a piece of myself.

20. I keep loose change in a huge glass pickle jar.

21. I'm trying to get a friend to bring home a baby bulldog pup, just cuz I want to see the pics as she grows up. The dog, not my friend. She's already grown.

22. People tend to think that I'm far more secure and sure of myself than I am. How they come to that conclusion is a mystery to me.

23. Learning to do a 540 is on my bucket list.

24. I've fed fanged deer before. They were cute!

25. I do not have a green thumb but I have kept a shrub that I brought home alive, mainly because Charlie doesn't require much work.

1. I'm legally blind in one eye. Let's just say if I don't have my contacts or glasses, there's a problem. A big one.

2. I dated 3 bio-guys... just to try it out. Obviously it didn't stick.

3. I'm "certifiably deaf" according to paperwork I have.

4. I occasionally go into ASL rages. I'm aware I can't throw a verbal temper tantrum. No one ever said I couldn't have a silent one.

5. I'm a Cancer.

6. I'm 29. Most don't believe me.

7. I'm short and stocky. Weight needs to be lost, but I'm also extremely muscular. Most underestimate me.

8. I adore 3 dogs above all others. One, Riley, I have. One I had no choice but to give up and never will go through that again and if I could take it back, I would have. One that lives with her father.

9. I contemplate going back to school fairly regularly. It hasn't happened yet.

10. I taught myself needle crafts -- crocheting, knitting, cross-stitching years ago. I still do all 3. It's a cheap hobby. My $100 spent at one time will keep me busy for months upon months if not years.

11. I love to read. I have a hard time sleeping unless I've read before I sleep.

12. I hate talking on the phone. There's only a few I'm willing to make an exception for. Text is always the fastest route to catch me.

13. I must be part vampire. I detest daytime. Loathe it. I don't settle until the sun goes down.

14. I love computer games. Especially open ended RPGs.

15. I used to build computers for a living, then got moved to fixing computers. Basically, I was the guy that last saw your computer before it got shipped out.

16. I've done CNA type work for 10 years now. My body is getting too old for it. Too many years of picking people up wrecks havoc.

17. I grew up on a farm.

18. I love to cook. If I'm hungry. If I'm not hungry period, then I don't want to cook.

24. I collect books about WW2 and the Holocaust in particular.

[sharkchomp]

1. I have two dogs that humble me daily with their love and loyalty. People should be more like dogs. We would have peace on earth. And we could pee anywhere freely. And when we would meet new people we would know if they showered that day. We'd have to earn our treats though, but learning a new trick would be fun.

2. I am completely sick over who's going to the super bowl this year.

3. My Mom retired to florida and I miss her terribly. She's a really great person. I miss my step dad too, we are great friends and he was one of the best fishing buddies I've ever had.

4. I'm going to get more serious about fishing this year. It's something I really enjoy and I didn't go at all last year

5. My grandfather raced pigeons. He won several trophies for it. I have a black and white framed photo of one of his pigeons on my hutch just as a quiet reminder of him even though he was a mean bastard, but he was still my grandfather.

6. I have a love/hate relationship with snow. I absolutely love it in that it is so beautiful. It transforms the earth like cleaning the slate. But that quickly goes away if the power goes out or I have to drive in it. Then it's just a bitch lol

7. I had an uncle that was a pilot and was shot down over Vietnam. He was MIA for 10 years then declared dead. His wife stopped contact with out family. I have two cousins I wouldn't know if they walked up to me. I hate that. My other uncle had a son with a wife I just found out about last year, so another cousin I've never met. I think family is important, so it makes me sad.

8. My brother is the most honorable man I've ever known. He actually thinks "what is the right thing to do" and tries to live his life accordingly. It's so amazingly rare to know someone like this and I'm so blessed to have him as my friend.

9. My best friend is the most amazing and coolest person I've ever known. If it wasn't for her I'd probally move to Florida to be closer to my parents.

10. I like watching the "Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross. He makes me believe I could actually paint and I'm going to try to paint this year.

11. I can't go to the movie theater without getting popcorn.

12. I want to go to Yellowstone NP so badly I actually bought a dvd about it.

13. I'm the easiest person to shop for. All you have to get me is fishing lures or a BPS gift card.

14. My phobia is lightning but I love to watch it. As long as something is over my head I'm ok but if I have to go outside in a bad storm I get so scared I almost can't move. Mice scare the hell out of me too. Yes, I will scream and run.

15. I love Tennessee. It is one of the most beautiful places I've ever lived.

16. Slap stick humor will make me laugh uncontrollably. Watch the Three Stooges with the sound off. Just watch them. Best shit ever!!!!!

17. I like old movies, anything with Fred Astaire. His dancing is like, well, magical. I like old Godzilla movies too. The Japanese came up with some great shit. Flying turtles with fire coming out their asses - what could be better?

18. Justin Bieber is just annoying and I didn't like him but after I heard that he doesn't believe gays should have the right to get married I found I fucking hate him.

19. I was raised catholic and then Christian but as I've gotten older I really don't care for public displays of faith. People wearing crosses is fine n all but when their public display of faith becomes more like preaching I'm totally turned off.

20. I've been craving steak lately.

21. I'm crushed that Pat Summit has Alzhimers. My step dad's mom died from it (she literally forgot how to swallow and choked to death). It's so sad to me that Pat has achieved so much and she won't remember what she has accomplished.

22. I played Band Hero (xbox game) and it was awesome!!!!!

23. I try to take a nap everyday because I don't sleep well at night and it makes me feel better. I think we should be more like Mexico and Spain and shut down for an afternoon nap everyday.

24. I was watching a travel show and they said that it was common practice for business men in Bermuda to wear bermuda shorts, dress shirts and ties at work. That's what I'm talking about!

25. My favorite band, through all the years, is still Led Zeppelin.

[Jett]

1. I love music, music theory, exploring the patterns and possibilities... I've always been fascinated by it.

2. I play guitar and was in a band or two for some few years, main was The Slut's of Anarchy, it was pretty popular (tri-state) but broke up due to- take a guess... mindless partying.

3. I sing as well but not 'as well' .

4. I 'thanked' everyone here before even reading the posts, I will go back and read them and remove my thanks if there was something really offensive to me, but I like the thread and willingness to share. I thank haphazardly sometimes yes... lol

5. The question I have been asked more than any other and all through life is: "Are you a vampire?" This I surmise is because- my pallor, very red lips, long pointy canine teeth and am often cool to the touch all over due to secondary vascular effects of a rare blood disorder... etc. etc. So, I pretty much have legit explanations for most of these "vampiric signs", and seriously, some people still don't believe me.

6. I have 20+ hoodies, the 'comfort food' of clothes for me... they range from street to sweater/semi-dress even... I have no sports related hoodies.

7. I almost always am wearing a hat, it's keeps me warm (see #5) and I just like them. 99% of the time it's an Ivy/Flat cap and the other 1% one of my Fedoras on dressier occasions... I never wear baseball caps, and don't like them.

8. Despite the way number 6 makes it sound, I like to dress well, I don't ever lounge around in "sweats" or ratty t-shirts nor do I own any.

9. I wear low rise jeans almost exclusively, button and flap back pockets highly preferred.

10. I love animals and consider them to be the best type of friends, when I hear of someone abusing them it raises my blood pressure like nothing else does... and I would bitch-slap anyone I saw kick or punch an animal.

11. An affinity for Victorian decor and anything Victorian.

12. I have bad allergies, make me cough, sneeze and snot myself pretty much year around.

13. I'm unusually strong and it irritates my friends that pump iron that I can out arm wrestle all of them without having lifted a weight in years.

14. I drive a red Dodge 'Sport' Ram truck (I love my truck).

15. My favorite color is maroon.

16. I love to take long walks at night, later the better.

17. I love long hot steam baths and I really love saunas.

18. I love riding motorcycles and am a very skilled experienced rider, Triumph motorcycles are my favorite.

19. I used to sleep walk quite often as a small child, my mom used to have to put chairs against the doors at night because I would always leave the house... I sleep walk fairly rarely now.

20. I in my life attempted more than once at a gf's request to become a vegetarian for awhile, and that's a lie, I never r-e-a-l-l-y tried but pretended and got the girl anyway... I did yes come clean because, my what a tangled web we weave... and I friggen hate that... andI hate liars... gah, lol.

21. I am a f-a-i-r-l-y reclusive and private person, but I hold my all friends very dear and consider them family.

22. Multiple tattoo's and piercings, I'm getting another tattoo soon... a couple sentences that mean a lot to me

23. After my mom died I found out I was adopted through found letters and paperwork. Anyway my whole life I thought I was Italian and then found out my parents were from Portugal, so I'm Portuguese, nope... fairly recently I found out yes my parents lived there but weren't born there, and I am actually Romanian. I am not researching anymore... :/

24. I was once bitten by a satanist who was enthralled by me and wanted me to marry him and join his band.

1. I never learned to drive. I tried as a teenager, but was too nervous, so I just moved to cities with good public transit systems.
2. I was born and raised in Ohio, but currently live in Vancouver. My dad told me “You’re starting to enunciate your words like a damn canuck.”
3. I have to use proper English/Canadian spelling at work- adding the u to words like favorite and humor, cheque instead of check, but I’m very conscious of not doing that when writing to my family because I don’t want to seem showy or pretentious.
4. I have a complicated relationship with religion. I have trouble embracing Christianity as an adult, but feel guilty if I’m not at church on Easter and Christmas Eve. My grandpa was a minister, so that probably doesn’t help.
5. I’m wearing a Snuggie as I write this.
6. Everytime I watch a movie with Zooey Deschanel, I go into the bathroom and cut my bangs. She has my dream hair.
7. If there is a doggie tied up outside a store, I will stop and pet it.
8. I frequently have this dream that I’m surrounded by hundreds of toilet, and every single one of them is filthy, or there won’t be any stalls on the doors, or there will be two toilets to a stall. It’s horrible.
9. I like my job, and the company I work for.
10. Sometimes when I can’t sleep, I picture the cat I had as a little girl, Lucky, sleeping on my tummy like she used to do, and that helps me get to sleep.
11. I feel naked without red lipstick.
12. I used to take dance classes as a kid- ballet, tap, and jazz- until I hit 13 and it became clear that I wasn’t going to grow up with a dancers body, so I stopped. I wish I hadn’t.
13. I also wish I hadn’t quit playing the saxophone. My mom was right.
14. I’ve been on the internet since I was 13. I met my first girlfriend online when I was 16.
15. I love kids cereals. I’m currently working my way through a box of Cap’n Crunch.
16. My grandma is on my Facebook friends list. Her status updates are my favourite.
17. When I was 13, I plucked my eyebrows super thin because I wanted to look like Greta Garbo. I was a strange kid.
18. When I was 8, I won third place in a dance contest at Castle Skateland. I got a free Pepsi.
