5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

2. I can't figure out my face shape. Some days I think it is round and some days I think it is square. My jawline seems more square some days than others. Either way, it's not heart-shaped or oval.

3. On my way to work, my shoe broke. Well, it's been getting there for a few days, but it literally broke while I was speed shopping before skidding into work. I had to have a moment of silence. These American Eagles were good shoes and I got them for a STEAL!

4. I am a supa dupa thrift store shopper. Seriously. The sales; they love me and the feeling's mutual.

5. I haven't drunk coffee (other than a couple of random sips throughout my life because I was told "but THIS one is GOOD!"...they lied, of course) since I was 3-4. I tried to steal some from my mom's cup and she made me a cup of my own and made me sit there until it was all gone. Did I mention it was black? *puke* She used this theory of parenting for cigarette smoking too. She tried to make me smoke my way through a pack. I gave it my best shot until I was literally green and puking. I think I got maybe 4 or 5 of them down before that occured.

5. I have a similar situation but it is with wine. It is one of the few things I remember from my childhood. I was 5 and my mom was drinking some Riunite (Riunite on ice, Riunite so nice...anyways) and I thought it was Kool-Aid. So since I kept whining and demanding some of it, she gave me half of a tumbler full and told me I had to drink it all. Needless to say I hate wine.
Good times, good times.

* When I was small I used to dream of being a professional dancer. Then as an adult...I got my dream and did it for a while.

*I adopted my last son when he was 3 1/2 months. Which where I live was a big deal. Single woman usually can't. Let alone a lesbian.

*I love to use my past experience to promote posotive actions. I voulenteer in many areas such as Battered Woman Shelters,Community Counseling Center for drug abuse. And the Stonewall center for a few.
Helping others helps makes me a happy soul.

*I do carnivals in the summer at childrens schools, company parties and functions.

*I can bbq a mean piece of lemmon chicken...lol

Most people don't know that I have an artistic side ... I used to enjoy painting, airbrushing and sketching. (More sketching though) My favorite medium is acrylic. I find watercolors frustrating.

With that in mind, I am a big doodler - especially when on the phone. It's difficult for me to be at a desk and talk on the phone without having to "doodle". I'm in my doodle glory during conference calls.

I've been wanting to go bowling for quite some time now. Yeah, I know ... bowling. Thank God I have the Wii.... lol

I used to take fencing classes when I was a kid. Shortly thereafter, my mother didn't think it was a good idea for me to play with swords. So - there went my dream of becoming an assassin. *sigh*

Large bodies of water freak me out. I am not usually found swimming in the ocean - but I love being near it. Water soothes me.

[Andrew, Jr.]

*Garlic goes on and with everything. I grow my own garlic chives.

*I hate change. It stresses me out, and causes more anxiety than you can imagine.

*I have a very deep faith in God, and people who are afraid, sick, or something is upsetting them come to me to find comfort.

*I love football, golf, and tennis. To watch and play.

*Oral communication frustrates me beyond imagination. What is inside never comes out. Never. The computer barely touches the surface.

*I cannot figure out texting. I thought I did, but I was wrong. I was videotaping. That is how my life is.

[Soft*Silver]

I have way more winter clothes than summer clothes.

I love toasted raisin bread

there is only one person I truly hate in this world. She is enough...

I get light headed when I stand up and when I lay down when I am low in Vit B and D

I still have my last saddle

[Jet]

I have vertigo

Chess is my favorite game

I do dialects and a few impressions

I can jitterbug like no one's business, and even better than that when I'm drunk

Buddy Guy is damn near my favorite blues artist,
especially his version of I've Got News For You
which blows the roof off.....

[pajama]

1. I go into my head ALOT.

2. I listen to clasical music alot, and prefer it live at the symphony.

3. I have an extensive Nightmare Before Christmas collection.

4. I plan to be completely covered, except all of my face, with tattoos before I die.

5. Although I act like a lecherous bastard, I have the utmost respect for several femmes on here.

*nods*

I live in my head too.

I have to be in the mood for pure classical but I do enjoy TSO a lot.

There was a news story not too long ago about a girl who 'fell asleep' while getting a tattoo and the tattoo artist decided to 'all on his own' tattoo stars on the left side of her face, around her eye and down her jaw. The ' ' are because she said she didn't want it and the folks at the shop said something else. Anyway, the important thing is that I actually think the stars were pretty. That's the only design I would consider going on my face and only if I had found independent wealth or knew my livelihood would be safe even if I got them.

I like you a little lech-y.

[bigbutchmistie]

I can spend days and days without talking to anyone. Just being alone and enjoying me time. It comes from being alone during childhood. It is refreshing for me now..

I absolutely have to watch General Hospital daily. I make sure I watch it on Soap Net every weekday..

I do not have any kind of parental instincts. I never wanted kids even growing up.

I have to snuggle with Simon to go to sleep at night

[Hack]

1. I'm easily distracted and often have no sense of time.

2. Yet, sometimes at work, I will focus so intently on something that I don't realize it's dark out and the time to go home has long passed.

3. The older I get, the more I just won't tolerate certain behavior and treatment. My days of being the most patient guy, I fear, are over.

4. I hate musicals.

5. Grace Kelly in the movie "Rear Window" is my version of an ideal femme.

[moxie]

1. I watch All My Children on weekday evenings if I get home from work in time. In fact, I am watching it right now.

2. I do not have any tattoos but have wanted the same two since I was 15 (I am 37). Either a barcode on the back of my neck right underneath the hairline or a certain French phrase on the interior of my right wrist so that I can always see it if needed. I've never gotten them because I was afraid 20 years down the road I would regret them. It appears not to be the case.

3. I cannot be in complete silence unless I am doing therapy. I have to sleep with either a fan or the radio on. I always have to have background noise.

4. I REALLY like lemons. I even have a lemon perfume...smells like lemon drops.

5. I can go for days without talking to anyone. I had a lot of practice as a kid.

[Hack]

1. I share a house with a friend and his thousands of comic books.

2. I only read Batman or DMZ, though.

3. I love grilled cheese sandwiches with green olives tucked inside.

4. My favorite television shows are all British ones on BBC or ITV.

5. While in Europe last year I was in TV heaven -- multiple channels of BBC on TV!

[Billy]

1 ..Drives Me nuts to hear folks chew with their mouth open

2..Love to watch crime shows

3..I am a recovering addict , 4 years clean !

4.. I don't like to talk on the phone ..

5...I love whip cream in My coffee ..

Your artistic qualities...gimme. I could really use your talent for my penpal projects.

I doodled in school, but not any more.

I. Love. Bowling. Seriously. I suck like Hoover at it, but I love to do it.

No, you can still be an assassin. Most of them use guns with silencers now. Your dreams of being a swashbuckling pirate ARE over, however. A moment of silence for your dream...

I don't swim well at all, but find water soothing also. I could sit on a beach and watch the waves roll in for hours.

Are they cute? Did you post a picture?

Don't tease me this way!

1. I agree!
5. But...but...but MW loves YOU! Told me so!

For future reference, Gemme enjoys the Miracle of Whips and especially likes the Light version but usually gets the Free because she doesn't need any more junk in her trunk.

Speaking in third person is fun!

My mom got me started on Y&R, since it was *her* show. I picked up AMC when I started working here, because my coworkers were *slightly* obsessed. I don't watch it anymore but can usually figure out what's going on if someone mentions someone's name.

I don't regret getting tattoos, although I would choose different designs if I could go back. Start with the one that would less noticeable and go from there.

The music or tv....it must be on. Background/white noise is required. Ditto!

Citrus scents in general are really nice. I like orange or lemon for cleaning purposes (NOTHING smells better, not even my cute lil scrubbing bubbles) but like fruit scents for perfume. Cucumber melon anyone?

My mouth has always gotten me into a lot of trouble. *sheepish grin*

I enjoy my privacy, sometimes to the point that others may feel excluded, but I think I balance out the various forms of time (me, we, they, us, etc) well in the long run.

I was on the cheerleading squad in high school, but a formation accident prevented me from continuing. I think that is what prompted me to eventually join the bowling league. Recently, I told Mare I wanted to go bowling and she handed me the Wii remote. *sigh* I have become the Wii Bowling Champion in my Mind.

No, I can't be an assassin. *pout* Mare doesn't want (those kind of) weapons in the house.

*In 1989, I was in Germany as the Berlin Wall came down. It was one of the most memorable times of my life.

*I am passionate about fine jewelry and precious stones. Sometimes a pearl can make me full of emotion with it's beauty.

*Even though I spent 48 years there, I don't miss Los Angeles at all...well, except for Tito's Tacos.

*My freshly painted 1995 Nissan Hardbody has new low pro's on sexy chrome rims. I plan on dropping the back end. I am a 16 year boy in disguise.

*Every day around 3 o'clock, I feed wild mix seed to mated pairs of Red Headed Cardinals and Saffron Finches. About 80 Java Sparrows and assorted locals show up too. My lanai looks like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's movie "Birds."
