5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Kätzchen]

1) I tell myself that I'm resilent and will overcome whatever obstacles may come my way because in reality, obstacles are not a part of my vocabulary: It's just takes me a while to covertly subvert obstacles and make them into something that is taste-worthy.

2) I have enjoyed not working so hard lately but in 48 hours, I'm going to work a 14 day stretch; then catch my breath and work another stretch of time; then next month, on a certain weekend, party like a Goddess.

3) My mom celebrates her birthday on Sunday (she's going to be 74). She's also been waayyyyyy toooooooo quiet. My 'radar' is uber-sensitive lately.

4) I've gotten smarter with pinging certain posts on fb: I ping the posts that send a loud clear message that I'm intolerant of racist, over-the-top biased social behaviors and it's paying off: cousins and certain other friends & family members have 'vanished' and are getting the message loud and clear.

5) EVen though life has been uber stressful since my birthday, I've been feeling rather playful lately.

`1) I am a procrastinator. To a fault. I use to have to live by deadlines and day planners. My schedule was so tight I rarely got home before dark and almost always left before daylight. Now, I fight to make sure that doesnt re-occur consciously but also, in a very passive aggressive unconscious way. I find myself missing appts. I forget meetings. I drag my feet on things that have a time schedule.

2) I hate hate hate talking on the phone. Its gotten much worse the past couple years. I think this comes from believing you could get to know someone and have a relationship with them if you spent enough time with them online and on the phone. (I learned this is SO not true) And also because there was a time when every phone call was a crisis, from my former line of work. It really doesnt matter how it started. What does matter is that there are dear friends I havent spoken to for almost a year because I cant stand to be on the phone. New friends know I have about ten minutes max before I start to get anxious. If you dont pick up my cues, or my direct request to get off by 30, there is a good chance I simply wont pick up the phone again when you call.

3) my fav purse designer is Dooney & Bourke. I would so die for one of their pink ones!

4) I religiously watch reruns of the 70s show and then Criminal Minds every night

5) I dont cry anymore I use to cry alot. I had alot to cry about. And that made me sensitive to things that would also move me to tears. I realized the other nite, that I hadnt cried much at all this year and when I did, it was over physical pain, not emotional pain.

[Asari]

[deathbypoem]

1. I refuse to walk barefoot in the house.

2. I love sleeping with a fan on, cannot sleep in dead silence.

3. Everytime I buy poptarts (which isn't often) I hide them or eat them when I'm alone. They are yummy and I hate sharing.

4. My roots are Canadian and German

5. I check the entire house for insects/bugs every single night before I go
to bed just to make sure there is nothing lingering around before I snooze off. It's become an obsession.

[Kätzchen]

1) I still wear my much beloved sterling silver Tear-drop earrings; but I recently treated myself to a brand new pair of Austrian crystal, Crystal-ball-tear-drop-like, earrings.

2) I thank my lucky stars that I understand a plethora of logic utilized in the game of Chess and subversively apply that particular logic to most areas of my life.

3) I do not relish experiencing job and income insecurity.

4) I am developing a finer appreciation for the moments of free time in my life.

5) I have loved living in my home town for nearly 20+ years now, but lately I am tempted to move. I have no idea if this is an fleeting temptation or if I should act on this particular temptation. It might only mean I should listen to The Temptations or the elements of Earth, Wind & Fire - but it's a real temptation, the temptation to move (relocate).

[Enchantress]

1. I cannot be trusted with a box of cookies.

2. Biting into a crisp, cold dill pickle, makes me extraordinarily happy.

3. When I am having control issues, I find using products with bleach and scrubbing with a scrub brush quite cathartic.

4. Sometimes I think too much (tonight would be one of those times).

5. I love vintage Harlequin Romance novels (okay, novels is pushing the bar a bit). And, when I read them, I always wear headphones and listen to schmaltzy love songs (don't judge, it's just not nice).
