5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Lynn]

1. When I was in high school, I aspired to be worthy of my intellectual friends. I would only buy Penguin books, which, for the most part, I had to force myself to read. So silly.

2. I also subscribed to Harpers and Atlantic Monthly, which I always read and enjoyed.

3. Now I belong to a book club and I hardly ever read the books in their entirety. The last book was "Three Cups of Tea." We met at an Indian restaurant, which was the best part. That, and seeing my friends.

4. My first concert was Seals and Crofts. They played in a movie theater, where people actually lit lighters at the end of the concert. Ah...the good old days.

5. I was invited to Billy Joel concerts twice in high school. Both times, my parents found reasons to ground me.

1 - I almost got fired from my job for stealing a cat.
2 - I like Mafia Wars so much that I have FIVE facebook accounts. One real facebook, and four that are exclusively for playing MW on.
3 - The only socks I am willing to wear are ankle socks. I hate all other socks.
4 - I briefly lived at a christian commune in Chicago in my early 20s.
5 - I hate Jim Carrey and can't watch any movie with him in it.

-1- I worked in a Scientology Center for 1 month...I did some filing, and organized Accounts...I marveled, each and every time, at the amount of money some people paid for Books and videos {ex: 1 Book I was browsing, I checked the Price, and almost dropped it, $450.00}..I did leave, after I realized they weren't gonna pay me with Money, but rather...Auditing Lessons...

-2- I spent 3 summers working as a Sports Counselor in a Deaf childrens summer Camp...I would happily do it again if I could, I bumped into the kids frequently when I did grocery shopping, I would see them literally drag their parents to me, and Sign wildly about the stuff I taught 'em {At the time, I would mumble "this island is too small"..but then, I was 18 when I said that}

-3- Because I've been drinking strong coffee since early childhood, it's very Rare that Caffeine will have any effect on me...on the same subject

-4- Anesthesiologists have a tough time with me..it's not so much 'allergies', but rather, I'm resistant to sedatives..Generally , they have to give A lot, or I will wake up mid-surgery {it's happened}..I had a tooth removed recently, the dentist was merciful, after giving the max dose to numb my gums, I still felt it...she added a bit more, it helped, a little..the tooth was deeper/bigger than she expected..

-5- I break the ice with Humor..And I do try to quash tense moments with it as well...If it doesn't work, I drop the humor, and let 'em stew...

1. I have a good ear for most languages and can roll my r's.......except French.....<sigh> And I probably love it the best.....to hear it is heaven to me.....

2. If left unattended, I could be a hoarder. But I also love to purge, too. It's almost orgasmic to me to do so......I said ALmost.

3. I have been accused of being too nice ~ a doormat, even......but when I'm backed into a corner, watch out..... that surprises even me.

4. I think cows and goats and alpacas are some of God's greatest creations.....and I want a whole field of them someday.

5. I use these ......................... in extreme. Ok...that's no secret.

I am craving fries right now and may just have to go next door to Jack in the Crack to get some, even though they totally went traitor on me and changed their 'natural' fries to generic ones that you can find at McD's or BK.

Today is the first day that my new to me shoes haven't hurt my toes. I'm breaking them! BTW, the 'in' was not left off.

I'm watching SNL for the first time in years.

I've been incredibly bored and frustrated and irritated today.

I'm sleeping in very, very, very late tomorrow.

♦♣♦ I've been known to eat Cereal for Lunch, snack and Dinner..Call it a serious Jonesing...

♦♣♦ I think Walk like an Egyptian is 1 out of 2 songs my brother & I will act like a pair of idiots and Dance to...with an audience...it always makes our mother giggle...

♦♣♦ A few ex's had to face the fact "you're sleeping on the Couch tonight" wasn't exactly an effective solution..I'd shrug it off.. grab a pillow, blanket, parked on the Couch.....with food...and HBO/Showtime...Almost every time, I'd greet 'em the following morning with both a smirk & "So, had fun last night?"

♦♣♦ Like Diva, I use these......Excessively.....I have my former favorite forum hangout to thank for it though.

♦♣♦ When I'm insanely bored {or Stressed}, I'll randomly pick a Royal Family/Religion, and read everything I can on them, until my boredom is quashed or my Stress relieved, my last one was Russian & Orthodoxy...

1. When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved avocados and whipped cream.

2. I can count the number of people that have been my friend for more then 10 years on one hand.

3. I hate the snow. I don't mind looking at it, but I absolutely HATE to be out in it.

4. My least favorite chore to do is dishes. I would rather do ANYTHING except dishes. I will scrub every floor in the house and the bathtub and toilet if it means someone else will do the dishes...

5. I hate surprises... hate hate hate hate them. If you want to surprise me, DONT TELL ME YOUR DOING IT. I will drive you crazy with questions and pouting and every other form of coercion i can think of to get the information out of you. I dont mind them if i didnt know they were coming though. Thats ok.
