5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

Lynn · 05-05-2010, 09:37 PM

I like green olives stuffed with garlic cloves.

I'm pretty cool under pressure.

It's hard for me to say "no" if it will hurt someone's feelings. (But, I've learned to do it anyway).

Today, I didn't have money for the ice cream truck that stopped at work. I wanted a strawberry shortcake bar.

I love summer fruits--all the melons and berries. Especially love a perfect honeydew.

1. I enjoy browsing thru book stores, but rarely buy anything

2. I love it when someone smiles at me

3. I love, love, love road trips

4. Singing in the shower is the norm for me

5. Pappa John's is the best pizza in my area

6. A bonus - I love all kinds of olives. Black, green, stuffed or pitted. I just love them all!

aww I'm sorry you didn't get your strawberry shortcake bar... If I worked with you, I would have gotten you one!

 After more than a year of a self-imposed hiatus with wardrobe expansion, coupled with the bequeathing of many (many) more garments to the Loaves and Fishes crowd, I finally succumbed to an “overstock” sale on a favorite website. It was a fashion coup. A good time was had by all.

 I’ve been labeled “too sensitive” since I was little; however, after decades of dealing with others without empathy, compassion, or depth, I feel lucky to be “too sensitive”. (Despite that, if you call me names, I’ll probably cry.)

 The best nights are when I can set the table, open the wine, prepare salads and chill them all before she comes home. Dinner together is the highlight of my day, though not merely because of her culinary talents – which, like all of her gifts, are significant. (Just another hour to go.)

 Absconding with Lulu is worth the potential jail time (if we’re caught), but knowing Cookieface would be forever brokenhearted has kept me on the path of the straight and narrow.

 It seems the universe often conspires on my behalf, and I am grateful. (I’m also grateful for pistachios and a lot of other things as well.)

1. I put green olives inside my grilled cheese sandwiches.
2. If I don't ingest a significant amount of Diet Coke in the morning, we're going to have issues.
3. My new office is embarassingly large.
4. I've lost every pair of cufflinks I have ever owned.
5. For as much as I love sports, NBA games bore me to death. I just can't watch them.

Lulu time soon (in the next few months hopefully?)! If it will make you feel better you can walk her the entire time you're here. : )

Love you!

1. i love old people, even (especially?) the crotchety old ones. ez thinks that i should work with seniors in some capacity because i am interested in their stories, and if they're safe (if someone looks ill/disoriented i always find a polite way to just check in with them), their health, advocacy and well-being (as individuals as well as a population).

2. i don't think anne rice can write her way out of a paper bag.

3. on our first date, ez and i ate at a little mexican restaurant and he ordered chile rellenos, a favorite of mine, and i asked to taste--he was generous and a good sharer--that's always a good sign.

4. i doodle, a lot. hearts and stars, e's name and *chester*.

5. showgirls is so awful that i've memorized it: She's no butterfly. Tony, she's all pelvic thrust.

lyric · 05-08-2010, 09:15 AM

1. I never learned how to hold my pencil/pens correctly. I have pretty handwriting, but I still hold all writing implements in a weird way, with my fingers kind of twisted-like around near the point. I've tried to learn the correct way to no avail.

2. It is a rare day that I can eat or drink anything without spilling something on myself at least once. You'd think that the little mouth holes in the Starbucks cup lids would be spill-proof. Nope, not for me.

3. I love to scare people. Toxic and I often entertain ourselves by seeing who can scare the other person on a grander scale.

4. I often have lots to say, but I'm actually super shy, so I'm quiet in public forums. I would have 3 or 4 times as many posts as I have now if I didn't delete everything before I posted.

5. Mary Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie had me obsessed with blindness as a little kid. My favorite thing to play was "Blind School" and my mother hated that I often pretended to be blind in public, like when we were grocery shopping. I've been blind in my left eye since I as 19. Coincidence or jinx?

(and 6. I'm a little on the odd and quirky side.)

Jet · 05-08-2010, 07:08 PM

Rhubarb pie is my favorite pie.
I'm unpretentious and OS to a fault
I don't think I know shit unless I've read one classic; Catcher in The Rye doesn't count for me.
My life, as I knew it, is going to end soon. I'm really glad.
I don't acknowledge or celebrate my birthday

NJFemmie · 05-17-2010, 10:36 AM

When I was a kid, I used to do a lot of things with one hand. My father was missing a hand, and I was always curious about how he managed - so I trained myself to do things with one hand to see what it was like. He always found it amusing, but at the same time, it (and he) taught me to be grateful for things we don't often think about having.

I really can't wait for our veggie garden to start growing. I've developed an obsession with Mare's homemade salsa.

I used to love adding sugar to my coffee (or cereal). I no longer add sugar to anything I eat or drink and find myself actually enjoying the miracle of Equal. (But I haven't given up my Pepsi....yet....)

I have an obsession with lights. I've recently lined the driveway/walkway with solar lawn lights and spotlights, and will soon be working my way into the yard. I love all things solar.

The next door neighbor has the most adorable bulldog. I want to steal him. (But, I won't, for now....)

I think Showgirls is the greatest awful movie in history. I love it for it sheer badness.

1. I have a Saturday evening work dinner routine that I force my two fave coworkers to follow. We go to Firehouse Subs (where all the workers now know us and greet us by name) and then to Starbucks for me to get coffee. It's awesome.
2. I won a balloon-tossing event last October — and have the trophy to show for it. It was cool. We dropped the balloons (representing pumpkins) over the edge of the grandstands at Talladega Superspeedway and let 'em drop a couple hundred feet.
3. Hockey is possibly the most fun sport I've covered in my career. I want season tickets at some point in my life to enjoy it as a fan.
4. I love going barefooted.
5. I <3 garage sales.

Boots13 · 05-08-2010, 07:22 PM

1) I love to get high...altitude...

2) a kick step isnt really a kick step, it's more like a "swing your foot from the knee" step.

3) eating solid food at altitude is more difficult for me than the climb.

4) one can expect to burn 10,000 calories a day. Ugh, that means eating more than I care to think about.

5) someone asked if I'd ever seen any weird animals up there (like a Yeti?) Obviously they havent seen me for my 2 am starts for the summit...BOO !
