3. I am a classical pianist but rarely play now.

4. I want to be in love again, someday.

5. I still hang out my linens and towels on the clothes line. Something very nice about the way they smell after a day in the sunshine.

I really like this post.

I like to line some of my drawers too, but I haven't tried scented liners.

I love my penpals and like cute and unique stationary with which to write them. I wish I knew calligraphy.

I wish I could play the piano. I'd love to play the acoustic guitar and the piano.

Air dried laundry reminds me of my grandmother.

[moxie]

I like chewing on ice.

I can't snap my fingers.

One of my favorite things to do is to lie on a blanket outside at night and look at the stars.

I loathe vacuuming

I love most movies with subtitles.

-I studied music for about 25 years, I played the violin, viola and cello I am also classically trained in voice. I still sing but haven't picked up a string instrument in years and years. I am contemplating teaching myself how to play the piano
-I have a deep smooth voice, people always think I am a professional phone something or another when I call ,
-Smoking has ruined part of the range of my singing voice but added a nice roughness to my speaking voice (I no longer smoke, btw)
-I performed as a phone sex worker in my youth
-I still enjoy boudoir talk, albeit unprofessionally

[Duchess]

I'm a closet headbanger.
I feel compelled to explore hidden trails.
Humane Society commercials make me cry.
I'm obsessed with having smooth feet.
My bathroom, sitting in my big fluffy chair, is my favorite place to read.

I don't mind vacuuming. In fact, once I start, that carpet will be "once-overed" about 20 times.

I have a habit of chewing on crushed ice. I was in my glory when we bought a fridge with a crushed ice maker.

I LOVE sour patch kids and Life Saver jelly beans.

I have a pen fetish. Not just for any pen, but "the" pen. And I will cycle through every pen in existence until I find it.

I get secretly excited when I pass a Staples or an Office Depot. I get equally excited passing a Best Buy.

[shadows papa]

I am a huge fan of the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch.I once did a 7 day fast,nothing but water.I have been on a vision quest. I have ridden an elephant.I was the only bio-female to ever bench press over 200 lbs at my high school.

[Jet]

People describe me as "fascinating"
Jean Valjean and Atticus Finch are my favorite literary characters
I'm very polite and mannerly
I have a deep voice
I have a music collection that includes burgandy, gold, red, white and heart-shaped records.

My favorite "buggy" type creature is the roly poly, followed very closely by the ladybug.

Whenever I see a white butterfly, I always think of weddings.

I have butterflies, a ladybug and a lizard in my tats.

A plant here at work has so many no-see-ems around it, I want to take a flame thrower to them.

I ran through a patch of grass when I was about 5ish and stepped directly onto a bee, stinger side up. It took 4 grown men, my mom and her friend to hold me down while they took the pliers to my foot to get out the bits of bee and stinger that were jammed into my skin.

[Kimbo]

I love dark chocolate.

I saw a speech therapist for years for a tongue thrust...I was never cured.*perk*

The town that I am from had a population less than 800 when I was growing up. Everybody knew everybody.

Philo T Farnsworth was my cousin and is said to be the original inventor of the TV. (RCA ripped him off)

I worked in a slaughter house for years....hard to believe when you know how compassionate I am about animals.

[Soon]

I have no middle name (despite all other siblings having one).

My dad died on the same date as my ex-boyfriend's birthday--I called him up and said, "Happy Birthday, my dad just died." (it was a recent break up--issues!)

I memorized my multiplication tables in grade three when I was sick with pneumonia for three weeks.

I peaked in grade four when I won both best athlete and best student awards. I could feel the eyes of hatred as I collected both. They turned on me the next year.

In grade five I received my first negative report card comment--(paraphrasing)--Despite excellent grades, she tends to be snarky at times (snarky I think was the actually word but, after joining forums, I don't think it was the appropriate word! I think I just had opinions.) I decided it wasn't worth being the good girl after that.

This whole post made me grin, wince, and laugh because I've soooo been there (except for numbers one and two).

On a side note, I detested my middle name growing up and the first opportunity I had to get rid of it I did, thus making the best argument for marriage. Get a new name! Weeee!

[Soft*Silver]

I hate leaving the house with chipped nail polish

I am not a phone person. The only time I talk alot on the phone is if I am engaging in an LDR. All my friends know that if they want to chat they have to do it in email or stop over.

I am not a fan of sushi

I have to start eliminating sugar and carbs from my diet because I was just told I am insulin resistant

if I could only eat one food, it would be apples

[Enchantress]

1. I have been known to talk in my sleep as well as sleep walk (especially when I'm feeling stress)

2. I keep a screw driver in my freezer

3. Sometimes when I'm alone I will act out a scene as if I was in a play (don't judge)

4. I can never find a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. (meaning I set something down and it's suddenly and magically misplaced) It's a strange phenomenon.

5. If I'm craving a tangerine, it's usually an indication that I'm avoiding "life issues".

[AtLast]

1. I asked my son to give me a Harley for my 60th Birthday, a red one with a side-car for my dog.

2. I am loyal to the point that is can be unhealthy at times.

3. I have to dance daily or I get very crabby.

4. I have frog statues all over my yard and gardens.

5. I hate to play board games.

[Random]

1. I may have accidently picked up the third twilight book while at my parents house.. (It was in their store and I was needing something to read) I was several pages into the book before I recognised the players... I found the book to be childish, angst ridden, and I wanted to shake all three of them more than once... But under that I found a interesting plot... Sigh.. I now have read the next one to find out what happenes.. Years of avoiding the Twilight train gone to waste...

2. I am now borderline obsessed with making flowered hair combs.. My mother is an enabler, as she sent home boxes of crafting supplies with me.. I hope I can sell them, other wise I am going to have a hella lot of flowered hair combs..

3. I have gained 60 lbs in the last 8 months and I dislike my body a great deal. It's hard to feel sexy and powerful when you are not loving your body..

4. I generally have a song playing in the background of my mind...

5. After spending a massive amount of time with people, I reach saturation point.. I don't want to talk, don't want to interact in R/T.. I need to recharge my batteries at this point..

[apretty]

i love tiny cubed ice

i help strangers

my fingers (and toes!) are long

my desk is frighteningly messy (partially because i can't half-clean, i have to make a HUGE production of cleaning and getting every speck of dust and partially b/c i set things down on top of other things. E is organized, which helps keeps us balanced, for realz)

when i worked in SF my co-workers nicknamed me, porcelain doll. i felt really seen.

[NJFemmie]

I prefer eating deli sandwiches dry. I like condiments - but prefer they not be on my sammiches.

I like to wear my watch on my right hand, even though I'm a righty.

My least favorite chocolate is white.

I'll have at least two tubes of toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and soaps going on at once ... I like variety.

Since yesterday's post, I received a lot of vacuuming offers. Maybe I shouldn't say that I do windows too.

*laughs and guiltily raises my hands on the vacuuming offer*
But, but...I promised I'd cook in return.

1) I know trivial bits of info like this: And the funny thing about white chocolate is that there's not actually any chocolate in it.

2) I also wear my watch on my right wrist despite being right-handed.

3) My sister got me the coolest hat for my birthday. It says "Vintage" on it and the year I was born (1970). Apparently I'm vintage now. *grin*

4) I played for six years on my high school varsity basketball team, starting from the time I was a freshman. It was a small school.

5) I have a big-screen television that I rarely bother to turn on. My roomie gets a lot of mileage out of it, however.

I'll eat just about anything for dinner except for fish dishes. But I do like tuna fish and fish sticks, lol ... (Should I decide to vacuum for you, lol).

I was born in 1966, so I guess I am a bit more vintage than you.

We just bought a big-flat screen TV and I'm in love with it. The first movie we watched on it was Coraline - in 3D.

I'm very expressive in nature, and in turn, I love to observe expressions on others. An expression is worth a thousand words (sometimes).

I really don't want to be at work today.

1) I'm really good with the grill, particularly with steak, chicken, shrimp or turkey burgers.

2) 1966 was a fantastic year for Mustangs, and apparently for femmes. *wink*

3) I don't know if I've watched a movie on our TV, but I have watched my CSI:NY series on it. And sports looks pretty good on it. *grin*

4) I talk with my hands a lot. My mom used to say that if I had to sit on my hands, I wouldn't be able to express myself. I'm not that bad anymore, but still ...

5) I'm not wanting to work today either. I go in at 3. Boo!
