25 Things About You

[Tawse]

1. Have lived in and around Metro Atlanta all 42 years of my life.

2. July of this year will mark my 20 year anniversary at my work place.

3. Back when I was 22 I had an application in for a Police job and one in for a Mechanics job. The mechanics one called me back first - so that's where I am still today (different job, same company)

4. Never went to college

5. Didn't think I'd make it past 25 so why worry about college?

6. I am bipolar.

7. I take my meds religiously even if there are times I don't think I have to.

8. I can be extremely obsessive. To the point where I can eat the exact same breakfast for a year without getting tired of it.

9. The past couple of years I've read more than any other time in my life aside those crucial teenage years. I'm completely loving my rediscovery of books.

10. I've been writing stories since I was somewhere between 5 and 7.

11. My first story was about a dolphin - it was 6 of those big dotted line in the middle of every line kindergarten pages long.

12. Due to gay bashing incidents in my past - I insist on driving fast and reliable car.

13. Also due to the above I don't trust "packs" of high school / college age guys.

14. I am torn between wanting to pass as a guy - and being proud of what I've achieved as a female bodied person in a very male world, and wanting to be recognized for that.

15. One of the first things I did when I came out as gay (and butch at the same time) was find a mentor. She taught me a lot about our history, where to go, where not to go, everything... I'll never forget our evenings of "black and tans" after work.

16. Songs carry strong imprints from my life.

17. My dad is a drug addict and it destroyed my teenage life. I have huge issues with people who use drugs - I typically avoid them at all costs.

18. I actually love vegetables so when I get my head outta my ass and decide to eat right - I usually don't have a hard time finding stuff I like to eat.

19. I was 35 before I had my first cavity. After that though - they all started racing towards crowns & root canals.

20. I had my gall bladder removed when I was 20. After being misdiagnosed for over a year and almost dying...

21. I usually like these types of posts - but this one is hurting my brain.

22. I buy myself car parts for weight loss goals. When I reach my "final" goal this time - I'm buying a cold air intake system... Yay!!

23. I drive 500 miles a week going to and from work. (2 hours a day)

24. When a video stalls online - it bothers me more than nails on chalkboards.

25. I have owned a wide variety of exotic and domestic pets - and I have finally come to the conclusion that I really love and bond fantastically with cats.

[PinkieLee]

1. Although I have the worst Texas accent in the world, I was originally born in Olean, New York and moved to Houston when I was 4.

2. My first kiss was from Tom Jones at a concert where my mother forced me to the front of the stage, at the tender age of 9 years old.

3. When I was little I was in the Bluebirds for 2 years & did the father/daughter Indian Princess thing for 3 more years.

4. To entertain myself as a child, I would play with my mom's 10 key calculator & pretend I worked at a grocery store. No wonder my 10 key touch speed is off the charts still to this day.

5. The beach is my happy place.

6. I smell every single health & beauty item I may or may not buy. Seriously, I could spend an hour in the shampoo/body wash aisles at a store.

7. Same goes for laundry detergent... yeah I'm weird like that.

8. If I am ever at home and not feeling good, I always make macaroni & tomatoes and drink ginger ale (just like my mom used to always give me as a kid).

9. I grew up in family of addicts ~ father is an alcoholic, brother is a drug addict & my mom is a shopaholic.

10. At work, I jokingly refer to my boss as "the man". Truth is, he is more like a 2nd father to me.

11. I have been at my job longer than I have lasted in any longterm relationship.

12. I am a mad lover of all that is COACH.... but still don't have the heart to give away my first ever Dooney & Bourke.

13. In May, I bought my first brand new car ~ at 38 years old. Yeah, it's even a standard!

14. I have a couple of close friends that are my sounding boards when I am upset... because they actually speak the thoughts that run through my head, that my heart won't let me say outloud.

15. I've always dreamed of becoming a mother, but the older I get the farther away I see that dream slip away.

16. I do a lot of the things I do... not because I want to, but because it's the right thing to do.

17. I really don't like to wear dresses. Usually reunions/bashes are the one time of year that I do.

18. Drinking a margarita or beer with friends on a deck somewhere, is my 2nd happy place.

19. Laughter & Music save me every single day.

20. I think that Shemar Moore from Criminal Minds is the sexiest man alive!

21. I am still friends with every single person I have ever dated... most are some of my closest friends.

22. My shoe of choice will always be flip flops.

23. I am not a political person at all. When people go on rants about it, I zone out and all I hear is Wawawawawawa.

24. I have been a member of the American Legion Auxilary for 25 years.

25. Every single night before bed, I watch Family Guy... it may be politically incorrect, but that shit cracks me up!

[LaneyDoll]

1. I think I look younger than my actual age & that makes me really happy in a vain way.

2. I am really not vain but may appear as super confident because that confidence is a mask for a few insecurities.

3. I have almost zero talent, I call myself “a jack-of-all-talents and master-of-none.” Therefore if I sing around you, it means I am very comfy with you.

4. Horror movies terrify me but I find certain ones familiar enough that I can fall asleep to them.

5. Brush my hair and I just may fall in love with you.

6. The only time I can ever turn my mind off is at night when I am the passenger in a car travelling the interstate.

7. I am very good with names & faces. I used to ID criminals out of photo line-ups on an almost monthly basis; I even picked a man out of a line-up with his twin. The FBI tried to recruit me because of this ability. I almost wish I had accepted that opportunity.

8. I am very sensitive to smell.

9. Someone once greeted me with the words, “so, you are the infamous LaneyDoll.” That made me smile.

10. I am thankful that my children are all boys; I think that a girl (especially a teenage one) may test my patience.

11. My children go by their first names; I hate going by my middle name but hate my first name more than correcting people.

12. My children’s first names do not rhyme with anything; this is thanks to growing up with a name that rhymed with lots of words.

13. My children’s names each have five letters AND the first name has two syllables while the middle name has one. This was not planned but the pattern appeared after the second child so the third was named using this formula.

14. Despite the previous 3 statements, I am not anal nor do I have any form of OCD.

15. I believe in karma and this allows me to let go of a lot of anger.

16. My fave bottled water is Fiji. I swear you can tell the difference.

17. My fave color is purple but my fave color combination is pink & black.

18. My fave shoes are heels-and my calves show it.

19. I prefer to be barefoot.

20. My toenails are ALWAYS painted. The only time they are without polish is if I am giving them a night to breathe but they are painted again the next day.

21. I have less than pretty skin; I have tried everything from Pro-Active to Retin-A to Accutane. Thankfully I am good with make-up.

22. I learned how to do make-up when I worked at (are you ready?)---Glamour Shots. I learned from the gay boys and the drag queen (who ended up stealing all of our plus-size clothes.)

23. One of the gay boys and I used to eat lunch together all the time; this was really funny when I was obviously pregnant.

24. I think that little things & simple gestures are the best which leads me…

25. I have the Air Force coin that was presented to Riley when he graduated; he gifted it to me and it means more to me than anything else he could have given me (except when he gave me his love).

[*Anya*]

1. I am an introvert but can fake being an extrovert in social situations.

2. I read Gone With the Wind in less than a week at age 10.

3. My bedtime was 7:30PM until I was 13, then I was allowed to stay up until 8:30.

4. I still cry over the death of my Bishon Frise, Baby (she died on April 19th, 2011) whenever I think of her or see another Bishon.

5. I love to do laundry and fold clothes & towels but despise ironing. I tend to buy no-wrinkle clothing as a result.

6. I used to iron my hair on the ironing board as a teenager or set it on one gigantic orange juice can on the top of my head, to make it come out straight.

7. When I was 16, the car I was in was hit by another and we rolled over 3 times. We were not hurt because there were 3 of us (one big guy, too) in the front bench seat-we packed each other in.

8. I elevated masturbation to an art-form during all the years I had been single. I firmly believe that if you don't use it- you lose "it".

9. I lost track of my best friend during my hermit years and have been unable to track her down since then. We became lovers in our early 20's, then back to best friends. The last time we spoke, she was madly in love with a lesbian wheelchair basketball player in Eugene, OR.

10. I pride myself on my total trustworthiness and never breaking a confidence-ever. People tell me I am easy to talk to, tell me personal things and then worry I will repeat them. I never do.

11. I never swear in front of people that don't know me but actually swear like a sailor, especially with idiot CA drivers- I just don't do it where they can see as I would rather not get shot.

12. I love zombie and apocalyptic, end-of-the-world movies and books, can't tell you why but I hate bloody, slasher movies.

13. I want to go to a gun range and learn to shoot guns. (See #12, apocalypse).

14. I am extremely empathetic, sensitive and cry easily. It is frequently a drag.

15. I loved Nancy Drew, had all the books and recently gave them to my 7-year-old granddaughter.

16. I love the beach and my dream is to someday live where I can always see and smell the ocean.

17. My favorite comedy is The Big Bang Theory. It cracks me up.

18. My favorite shoes are my Merrells. I have them in navy, taupe, black and white. I may be femme but hate to wear heels or panty hose.

19. I love staying in nice hotels.

20. I hate camping.

21. The Planet helped me get back into life again. I am grateful for that.

22. I do have a prickly, OCD side that I do not like. It gets in the way of my being mellow (which is my goal).

23. When I was 10, I won a watermelon eating contest for eating watermelon the fastest. I was crowned queen by Miss New Jersey. The picture was in Life Magazine. I won a doll. The king got a bike. I wanted the bike, not the damn doll.

24. I love to dance and want to do it again. I miss partner dancing more than just about anything, though I still dance by myself in my living room.

25. I have run out of semi-interesting things about myself so will stop here.

[The JD]

1. I can smell ants.

2. I get migraines at the drop of a hat. Really, I think you could drop a hat and I’d get a migraine.

3. I brew my own beer.

4. I rarely drink. Even half a beer can give me a migraine.

5. I was born in Atlanta, and have never lived anywhere else….though I considered it, after the Olympics came through and changed the feel of the city.

6. I like to iron. And before you offer, that doesn’t mean I’d like to iron your clothes.

7. The first concert I ever saw was Elvis Presley. I was ten. I could feel the electricity and the crazed excitement in the air, and knew even then it was one of those “I was there” life events.

8. The first time I made out with a girl was in the parking lot of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

9. I have a fear of sunflowers. They creep me the hell out. I’ve been known to cross the street so I don’t walk next to them, or ask for different seating in a restaurant that has sunflower art too close to my table.

10. I spent my twenties playing bass guitar in rock bands and playing to crowds anywhere between 6 people and 12,000 (more frequently closer to 6 than 12,000).

11. I have severe hearing loss. I’ve always had it, but sometimes I tell overly-inquisitive people it’s from my ‘rock star’ past so I don’t have to explain it further.

12. I wrote a weekly astrology column for a queer Atlanta-based magazine for seven years. My pen name was Ava Voorhis.

13. I used to call myself a jack of all trades, a master of none…but now I’ve got two master’s degrees. Fuck it, I’m still a jack of all trades.

14. I want to learn to cut a perfect dovetail joint.

15. I detested Chihuahuas until my parents gave me one. His name is Killer. He lets me subject him to the latest Internet memes, and I adore him for it.

16. Romantic comedies and chick flicks are my favorite movie genres. I cried the first time I saw Ghost (okay, and the second time too).

17. I can’t fall asleep if my fingernails are touching any cloth.

18. I’m a cheerful scientist. It's better than being mad.

19. Iceland is my favorite place on earth. Seriously. I went there two years ago and still dream about it.

20. I started getting insomnia about three years ago. I had no idea how bad it sucks, and hereby apologize to all the insomniacs I’ve ever dismissed as whiners.

21. My first car was an AMC Pacer. Wayne’s world! Wayne’s world!

22. I buy groceries from Costco. I currently have six pounds of pre-cooked bacon, 24 cans of tomato bisque soup and a case of dried hashbrowns.

23. I would like to get a fish pedicure before they are outlawed in all 50 states.

24. I read three or four books at the same time. It makes me an even slower reader than I already am.

25. I hate the smell of baked cinnamon. And ants.

I want to know what ants smell like and I also want to get one of those fishy pedicures. I bet it tickles.

7. I have to learn to forgive myself more.
8. I write lists. Lists for everything. So I can check them off and feel like I have accomplished something.
9. I am always either late or seriousily early. Most often early because I am embarrassed about being late.

17. I still think about 2 of my teachers from elementary school, and miss them. I always felt they believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.
18. I cry in sappy movies, even if I have seen them before. I love horror movies, but I cant watch them alone, the fear doesnt leave when Im alone.

20. I dont know how to accept when people do nice things for me. I need to feel there is a balance, so i try to give more than I receive. Being spoiled makes me feel vulnerable. I am the one who buys gifts for people, and just leaves them to be found nameless.
21. I love to cook, bake and try new recipies. I am a perfectionist in my presentation, or I am too embarrassed to serve it. I have run my own catering business off and on for nearly 20 years.
22. I have a bucket list, it keeps growing, and shrinking on a regular basis.
23. I am not scared of dying. I am scared of not being done what I want to do, when it is time to go.
24. I am unrealistically terrified of leeches, and bloodsuckers. I think spiders and snakes are amazing.
