5 things you never wanted to know about me.

[Deborah]

1. I was born in Toronto Ontario but been in Texas since I was 2...which was a long ass time ago.

2. I have been known to have as many as 13 Christmas trees in my house on more than one Christmas

3. I once left my Christmas tree up for 3 years.

4. I have had 2 jobs for over 10 years - one 19 years still there and one 10 - the 10 year one was just temporary and I am still there

5. When I was 12 my best friend and I danced at the bowling alley for quarters every Tues and Thurs night while my parents bowled.

[Honey]

1. I am a NOTORIOUS Boston driver; I don't use my rear view mirror, back up doing 60 mph and use my vehicle to block traffic when making lefts
2. I have a touch of OCD
3. I could never kill an animal not even for survival, but in an Andes plane crash situation I could take out the weak or injured and eat them no problem
4. I cannot wear a bra w/o panties or vise versa- its either both or neither..and they have to match
5. I once baked a pie for my bf's mom with flour that had bugs in it

[Tawse]

1. I have a 10" bowie blade (black matte blade and handle) between the mattress and box spring on my side of the bed.. with the hilt sticking out far enough to reach it should I need.

2. I have a double headed battle axe under my side of the bed.

3. I may be a little paranoid about protection while sleeping.

4. As a kid I loved horror books and movies but I have come to the conclusion as an adult that I just can't handle them anymore. I don't jump, or scream, but my mind wakes up and won't shut up for weeks.

5. I have a pretty decent collection of "living dead dolls" and plan on getting more.

[chai~]

1. Submarine's freak me out. The look of them, the idea of being in one, seeing them in dry dock, and even seeing them when they are in the water, just floating on top! *shivers*

2. I like oranges with crunch. I peel the orange, separate all the sections, arrange them on a plate so that the thin skin can dry out, and eat it a couple of hours later. The skin is dry and crunchy and the inside is extra juicy!!!

3. I organize and purge constantly. Disorder makes me crazy.

4. About a week before my "monthly", I move the furniture around, I mean the couch gets put on a different wall, the tv goes someplace else, pillows get changed. I super clean everything and feather my nest!

5. I have about 9 books on my night stand at any given time and I read them all at the same time. I don't start one and read it completely through. I juggle them all. Geeze I love books!

[JAGG]

I clinch my teeth constantly, which I was unaware of, my dentist pointed it out.
I chew gum alot , so I don't clinch my teeth.
I hum when I'm working and I like the project I'm doing. Another thing I was unaware of until it was pointed out to me.
I whistle to myself when I'm unconfortable or nervous. So does my dad. LOL
I don't like being bitten by anything or anyone. Don't even pretend .

[persiphone]

i don't like the shower curtain to touch me when i'm in the shower. i will avoid it at all costs.

spitting out toothpaste in front of anyone makes me wanna hurl.

do not discuss your bathroom time with me and making comments about my bathroom time when i emerge it from could possibly be THE biggest turn off evar.

i play with my lower lip when deep in thought.

i can't endure people that can't laugh.

[Inked_Trinity]

I very rarely watch TV

I went to college on a full ride athletic scholarship

I WILL NOT EVER wear anything pink!

Until I have coffee in the morning.... all you will get are grunts out of me.

I have 10 yr old boy fart humor!

I clench mine too. Grind them in my sleep as well.

It's bad for the teeth but good for me because it keeps me from knocking some folks around once in a while.

Me too! The curtain feels weird on wet skin.

I don't like the spitting either but I can deal with it. For me, it's the location of the spit that counts. Folks that brush their teeth in the kitchen sink make my stomach clench. I can get past doing it in the shower. I understand the reasoning behind it, though I can't do it myself, but the kitchen is off limits for that stuff.

I had a roommate that shaved her legs in the kitchen sink. A short lived partnership THAT was.

Cleaning teeth in the kitchen sink *shudders at the thought* is sooooo unhygienic, as is shaving legs, etc....I'd have the industrial strength bleach out!

1. I get obsessed with weird foods, as a rule they are mostly at the extremes of spicy, tart, salty or just plain strange combinations and I'll eat it at least daily for weeks or even months. Example would be a green olive and mayo sandwich, Tabasco on eggs or maybe just putting mango habanero sauce on everything semi-reasonable.

2. I'm claustrophobic and once was so resistant to getting into an MRI machine they had towel put over my face and drug me to get me too agree.

3. I have bad allergies, I should own stock in Kleenex for that one, sux...
also to band-aids, pine trees, bee stings, my own tattoo ink (it welts up now and again, different colors on different days) etc. etc. etc. I'm fairly sure I'm not from this planet... o.@

4. I sleepwalk, pretty rarely, inert things like making food, brushing my hair, texting or putting the coffee in the freezer but may or may not have been known once to tear out of my bedroom before returning to save my gal and the furkids lol.

5. I have very long sharp canine teeth, enough to make peeps comment... as a kid I was asked more than I can count if I am a vampire, fortunately not so much from adults... so if your wondering, yes, I am a vampire... >:[

What!!!??? YOU- knocking some people around!! ....

I really am a germphobe, so please keep things in the bathroom that ought to be there! And the candles and matches are there as a means of courtesy for others that have to use it too!

What ever happened to common courtesy and thinking about others around us? LOL, guess I'm not good with self-centeredness, either.... and when you grow up with lots of sibs and boarders in a very small home with only 1 bathroom, awareness of how your actions (or in-action, like leaving your mess behind in commom living areas), does seep through.

[Jett]

1. My eyes are photosensitive so I don't especially like the sun and and am pretty damn pale, quite a bit paler than my pics seem to represent. I think the tannest I've ever been was when I lived in Portland, go figure. Fortunately I'm of Mediterranean decent and have some natural color... or I'm afraid I'd become translucent. :P

2. I won't wear shorts, I don't ever wear shorts... e-v-e-r. I'm actually not sure if I've ever in my life worn shorts. All around I am extremely picky when it comes to clothes... very very hard to buy for. Though I have admittedly caved about three years ago for a while to wardrobe additions made by someone who shall remain nameless, awful fashion faux pas (to me), I have since recovered fully, dammit I know better... nuff said, lol.

3. OHhhh, here's one that might be more annoying to someone... if you are driving with me in the car and there's an animal up ahead and you don't slow down prior or move over a little just in case it runs out I'm going to be instantly irritated with you... and I hate hate hate when peeps just say "oh, it will get out of the way" (grrrr), oh sure, of course it will, they always do... roadkills are actually unpreventable suicides.

4. I think people take themselves a bit too seriously, and the more serious you take yourself the more I'm going to laugh if your glasses fall into your soup... and I can laugh hard. BUT, I'm an equal opportunity laugher, if I were to trip and fall into a punch bowl I would laugh just as hard at myself as I would at someone else... just the thought is making me smile now... xD

5. I generally internally question people who announce they "don't like cats"... if you say you don't like cats unless you are allergic or have a phobia I'm going to wonder why. I sometimes just assume that if you don't like them it's probably because they don't like you... cats are very picky about people, more so than dogs and I at the end will just wonder what it is about you that cats don't like... ha.

I get bored with obsessive collectors. It's wonderful your collection of every and any Harry Potter/cat/coffee mug..... related item in the entire world gives you pleasure. Please don't feel the need to share your enthusiasm and gleefulness over every purchase with me.

Clutter irritates me. I'm neither a clean or tidy freak but piles of newspapers, mail, dirty dishes (I don't mean the odd glass or coffee mug) in the sitting room, especially if piled on the floor, makes me want to sweep it all into a bag and drop it in the bin.

I choose not to be around very negative people. I'm a great listener, a supportive friend.... but if you make no effort to see the good in each day or any day.... well, it exhausts me.

Don't bitch constantly about your grown up kids. Either support them with good grace or stop enabling their behaviour. Or.... enable their behaviour and whine to someone else about it. It's ok if you forget because I will remind you.

I won't allow anyone to smoke in my home or car. No exceptions. That said, I won't bitch about how much you smoke or nag you to stop. That's your business. No snogs though

Ditto!

[Kätzchen]

I used to care about making my bed but don't care about it anymore.

I do have a very sweet nature about me but I'm quite skillful with my...
>>> Femme Death Stare <<<

I like to listen to the dishwasher at really odd times during the day.

I'm equally talented with using fly swatters.

I love shopping for antiques.

[Soft*Silver]

I am a procrastinator. I put everything off. I use to think it was because i was so busy but now that I am not busy at all, i still do it.

I sleep two hours, wake up, toss and turn for an hour, sleep two, repeat cycle once more, get up and have my day. Sleep is restless, and I rarely get the rest I desire

I am so not a germ aphobe. I wouldnt shave my legs in the sink, tho. LOL. I think we live in an already too sterile environment and use way too many chemicals to separate us from natural living. From the foods we eat to how we clean our environments and bodies. The more we use chemicals to "clean" the more we get sick as a species.

I havent seen a movie in the theater in a long time. I miss it. But I cant stand the nuisance of other people. I am becoming more and more a recluse. I dont like the outside world all that much

I have two different ways to make my S's when i write. I use them both randomly.
