5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Enchantress]

I have an irrational obsession with pistachios

I am telephonically challenged. I can never find my telephones (land line or cell), the batteries seem never to be charged and if I speak to you long enough there's a good chance I'll hang up on you (accidentally of course), but don't worry, I always come back!

I tend to exhibit *alone behaviour* while with friends (read: singing to my dog, humming, rambling etc. as if you aren't there) By the way, I am aware you're there it's just a comfort level thing I believe. *blink*

I fear anything electronic that needs to be assembled, set-up, handled etc.

I must have my latte extra hot. At least 117 degrees or I won't drink it.

If my pup winks at me I always wink back. I fear it may be some secret code and I don't want her to think I don't care (don't judge)!

[adorable]

I am 100% a Scorpio

I love to travel

1 - I enjoy Cooking, a lot...What I despise, and it shows..Is when someone who's Not cooking, offers suggestions..without known what I'm making to begin with, and breathes down my neck until they're happy...I will stop, and give them the stove.

2 - When I sleep alone, expect to Find me deeply wrapped in 4 thick blankets, fetal position..Do not startle me..I've given very painful black eyes/busted lips in my sudden confusion...

3 - I subscribe to Smithsonian Magazine, Architectural Digest, Ceasar's Way, and Nat'l Geographic...not all at once, though

4 - Vacuuming, Mopping {with cleaners I pick, haha}, Raking leaves , Mowing lawn are some forms of meditation for me....

5 - I'm definitely sapiosexual, if you cannot carry an intelligent conversation, if I rapidly get bored, I will get up, pay my meal and leave...If it's unwise to leave, you will know you lost me..My eyes turn glassy and vacant, and all I'll do is blankly nod...you might as well be talking of pink elephants twirling to sugar plum faeries in tutu's....

More Proof I am weird

I compulsively lose lighters. This is very annoying to my nearest and dearest family because I also accidentally pocket other people's lighters when I have lost mine . . . and it is such a huge problem I am the one who catches myself as I do it and give it back. Only have this issue with lighters.

I have a problem steppin on cracks. I played that game waaay too much walking around my concrete neighborhood. I walk funny unless I make myself NOT avoid the cracks.

When I listen to the blues it makes me warm inside. It makes me smile a real smile and puts me in a good mood. It truly makes me happy to listen to it. Reminds me of one of my happiest moments in a dark club in Chicago watching my hero play on stage.

I have an allergy to status based material things. I am that against brand names and wealth implying possessions. It nauseates me to see waste and luxury in this world. I avoid shallow and snobby people for my/their health.

I am losing the battle hanging onto my goldness. Hope is a hard thing to hang onto.

[AtLast]

I'm a quiet person and very sensitive to noise, especially loud, harsh or grating speaking voices (parenting was hell!).

I love model trains as well as prefer trains for transportation or taking off in a RV on road trips (hate flying).

My feelings can be hurt too easily (given up on changing this).

I'm very sensitive to heat, I can only shower in tepid water (not good for sharing a shower with!).

I am a recovering agoraphobic and missed a good portion of the primary grades in school due to this.

[Random]

1. When someone calls me beautiful girl, I always respond back *love the dress* even if I don't say it, my mind fills in rest of the refrain..

2. I am a tea drinker, who drinks coffee... I need my coffee with lots oh creamer and sugar, but I don't need anything to drink tea..

3.I would love to have a used bookstore/small cafe with my home being the top floor, but I have absolutly no *get up and go* to actually do it...

4. At one time in my life, I had 1115 comix books.. most of which were my *pay* for working in a comix book store... It became less fun to work there when I started getting money...

5. For a book to make it into my library, I have to have to want to reread it over and over again... If I only want to read it once, then it get's donated to the thrift store...

[Nina]

I am crazy relentless in getting a wrong--righted....'letting it go' are not a series of words which ever come into play...most of then time, it gets righted !

if I feel that I under-tipped, I will go back the next day, or as soon as I can, and augment the tip...

I have taken to using the self-reminder mantra : "don't be crazy, don't be mad" when I am out in public...it's a helpful reminder...the glitch is that I tend to say it aloud so that people look at me...then I just tell them it's the voices and they nod and walk away...(It's not really voices, it's just a joke)

as time has passed I have worked hard to be able to identify, in the moment, what it is that I'm feeling...it's a good skill...

I am mostly surrounded by people who actually like me, and get me...that seemed to happen at the same time I moved from judging myself negatively to figuring that, since I do the best I am able, I am (intrinsically) alright...it's good

[Apocalipstic]

I also hated texting, the Blackberry really helps. I had to learn for work, so I made them get me one.

1. My school security in grades 6-8 carried uzis.

2. I recently traded a marble coffee table for wood chipper and this makes me happy, even though I am unlikely to ever actually use said wood chipper myself.

3. I have terrible stage fright, yet was in many plays in college and studied theater and voice.

4. My favorite musical is Evita, probably because I remember when the real Evita in her casket visited our province in Argentina in 1973. I actually saw it. I was ten.

5. I experienced a military coup in Argentina in 1976 and lived under martial law.

[Mitmo01]

wow apoc,

I wouldnt even begin to know what that mustve been like living under martial law

I bet as a child that was utterly terrifying and now it must be a surreal picture for you

and seeing Evita Peron in her casket, interesting to say the least

Im curious if you knew anyone that just dissapeared? or if your parents did under Pinochet? That would be horrible...

I am kind of a politics, history nerd, so I actually thought some of it was interesting and cool if that makes sense? Yes, my childhood was completely surreal, and I have a difficult time actually understanding it all was real. My parents were horrified, but not enough to just leave.

Pinochet was actually in Chile, but yes the reason we had guards with Uzis at school was because of threats against children of diplomats who went there. There were people who were kidnapped, but the actual "desaparecidos" time was actually a bit later on, after we left Argentina on September 25, 1976 after my mother died unexpectedly. Military juntas were in charge after Estelita (Peron's second wife) was removed from power by the military in early 1976.

There are many people we knew whom we have been unable to reach since things stabilized.

[BornBronson]

Not into myspace,facebook,twitter,ect.I'm old school when it comes to communicating.That's face to face.

I love my privacy.Time alone.

I enjoy watching The Duggars.

I enjoy listening to Roy Masters.His son David though gives me nightmares.

I'll be voting for Sarah Palin in 2012.That's of course if Hillary doesn't run.
Rino

But I have this funny feeling y'all ready knew all this.
