5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Gemme]

I want to learn how to throw and paint and glaze pottery. Maybe I'll do those teeny tiny vases and containers for Sweet.

Being a Gemini means that I tend to have (at least) two (often polar) opposite streams of thought in my head constantly. Sometimes it's very crowded in my head.

I drank wine for the first time in....years?....last night. I do enjoy my merlots, and partook of one, but pineapple wine is not bad either.

Tyson's grilled chicken breasts are quite yummy with apple danish dessert bread. Don't judge my food blendings. It all goes to the same place anyway.

I have to train someone later today and I am (1) not looking forward to it and (2) not going to be able to play on here for more than 4 HOURS straight. I might not make it.

Elizabeth! I'm coming, Elizabeth!

1. I love to go ice blocking in the summer.
"Riding a block of ice down a hill."

2. I love to walk and dance in warm rain.

3.I have 13 siblings all together but 11 remaining.

4. I had a parasidic twin when I was born that I absorbed and she had to be removed.

5.I rock repelled off of a 300 foot cliff when I was younger.

* I used to do a "stupid human trick" of putting a dogtag chain down my nose and coughing it back out of my mouth. Highschool. Nuff' said.

* I have an issue with getting rid of blankets that have been made for me. Our linen closet has like 20 crocheted blankets and several quilts that need to go but the sentimental fool in me wont let it.

* I believe that Tupac Shakur was one of the most talented rappers ever to live and I bawled like a baby when I found out he died.

* I am creeped out by Elvis impersonators.

* I like the song "Party in the USA" but the sound of Miley Cyrus's talking voice makes me want to punch her in the teeth.

ME TOO!!!!!

I know now to work with greenware, but I've never used a proper wheel..

Diva says that when we are all in Austin, we can go to the potting place and learn!!

The head.. she is very crowded... The entire being able to see both sides of EVERYTHING makes a gal tired...

Just saying...

*nods*

Austin. Pottery. DONE!

I think being so used to seeing things from multiple angles makes it so much easier to over-analyze things too. People think I'm wishy-washy because I walk my way through 1402 scenarios for one problem and go from this is what I want to do, no this....when in reality, it's me trying to find the best and most appropriate solution....which is not only time-consuming, but emotionally draining. So, some times, I just PICK a solution. I regret it each and every time. *shakes head*

I love

fall afternoons
sweaters of all kinds
small, quaint pubs
jazz
and the incredible Jane Monheit

[Hack]

1. I have an unhealthy addiction to Atomic Fireballs.

2. My favorite breakfast place in the world has pig brains on the menu. No, I don't order them.

3. As much as I love being outdoors, I love it more when it rains. I think I like the "action" or "motion" of weather like rain. I hate it when it snows, though.

4. About once a year, I shoot skeet at a work function. And every year I say, I need to do this more. But I never do.

5. The last time I wore a dress: First Holy Communion, third grade. Hated every minute of it.

[Gemme]

1. I need to cut my nails. No, really. They are very nearly one full inch from cuticle to tip. I hesitate because they are natural and it's been a loooong time since they've been this long. It's a love-hate relationship right now, since it makes typing difficult....yet, I am somehow managing here.

2. I can't figure out my face shape. Some days I think it is round and some days I think it is square. My jawline seems more square some days than others. Either way, it's not heart-shaped or oval.

3. On my way to work, my shoe broke. Well, it's been getting there for a few days, but it literally broke while I was speed shopping before skidding into work. I had to have a moment of silence. These American Eagles were good shoes and I got them for a STEAL!

4. I am a supa dupa thrift store shopper. Seriously. The sales; they love me and the feeling's mutual.

5. I haven't drunk coffee (other than a couple of random sips throughout my life because I was told "but THIS one is GOOD!"...they lied, of course) since I was 3-4. I tried to steal some from my mom's cup and she made me a cup of my own and made me sit there until it was all gone. Did I mention it was black? *puke* She used this theory of parenting for cigarette smoking too. She tried to make me smoke my way through a pack. I gave it my best shot until I was literally green and puking. I think I got maybe 4 or 5 of them down before that occured.

[bigbutchmistie]

To relax I watch tv play on the computer and listen to music

I love history. More specific I love anything having to do with Roman culture. My dream is to go to Rome Italy one day.

Im very shy with people I dont know. Im not outgoing at all.

Some know this some dont. So, I was adopted by a Baptist minister with my brother at age 6. However we dont communicate.

Im not a cat person. Im a dog person.

[Jet]

I come from a great family
I don't like frosting of any kind on cake
I don't celebrate my birthday
I start T this year
Even so, I'll always stay clean shaven (no facial hair )

[Andrew, Jr.]

I love Turks & Caicos and Bermuda. I wish I could live there year 'round.

I admire Chip Coffey.

I have always worn Ray-Ban Wayfarer Sunglass's. I even just used an old frame and got new lenses put in.

I would rather be outdoors than indoors.

I'm a sucker for plaid, madras, and preppy type of clothing.

I interviewed Sen. Edward Kennedy during a news conference years ago.
I have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism; I contribute to the Simon Wiesenthal Center
If I could pick 5 people I would like to have met in history,
the first would be George Gershwin.

I love this piece of music! Who else would you like to meet? I would love to meet so many people. Narrowing to 5 will be tough. I met Maya Angelou last year and that was amazing!

I LOVE football! Favorite team? I watch a lot of teams but I like the Cowboys!

[bigbutchmistie]

Last year was the first time Ive had a birthday party.

I love wearing t shirts and shorts or just jeans and a polo shirt. I hate getting dressed up.

I have alot of gray hair

I love French Vanilla Candles and Hawaiian Aloha Febreez

I have gotten a t.v. for my bedroom. A 42 inch for a hunderd bucks from my boss

5. I have a similar situation but it is with wine. It is one of the few things I remember from my childhood. I was 5 and my mom was drinking some Riunite (Riunite on ice, Riunite so nice...anyways) and I thought it was Kool-Aid. So since I kept whining and demanding some of it, she gave me half of a tumbler full and told me I had to drink it all. Needless to say I hate wine.
Good times, good times.

* When I was small I used to dream of being a professional dancer. Then as an adult...I got my dream and did it for a while.

*I adopted my last son when he was 3 1/2 months. Which where I live was a big deal. Single woman usually can't. Let alone a lesbian.

*I love to use my past experience to promote posotive actions. I voulenteer in many areas such as Battered Woman Shelters,Community Counseling Center for drug abuse. And the Stonewall center for a few.
Helping others helps makes me a happy soul.

*I do carnivals in the summer at childrens schools, company parties and functions.

*I can bbq a mean piece of lemmon chicken...lol

[NJFemmie]

Most people don't know that I have an artistic side ... I used to enjoy painting, airbrushing and sketching. (More sketching though) My favorite medium is acrylic. I find watercolors frustrating.

With that in mind, I am a big doodler - especially when on the phone. It's difficult for me to be at a desk and talk on the phone without having to "doodle". I'm in my doodle glory during conference calls.

I've been wanting to go bowling for quite some time now. Yeah, I know ... bowling. Thank God I have the Wii.... lol

I used to take fencing classes when I was a kid. Shortly thereafter, my mother didn't think it was a good idea for me to play with swords. So - there went my dream of becoming an assassin. *sigh*

Large bodies of water freak me out. I am not usually found swimming in the ocean - but I love being near it. Water soothes me.

[Andrew, Jr.]

*Garlic goes on and with everything. I grow my own garlic chives.

*I hate change. It stresses me out, and causes more anxiety than you can imagine.

*I have a very deep faith in God, and people who are afraid, sick, or something is upsetting them come to me to find comfort.

*I love football, golf, and tennis. To watch and play.

*Oral communication frustrates me beyond imagination. What is inside never comes out. Never. The computer barely touches the surface.

*I cannot figure out texting. I thought I did, but I was wrong. I was videotaping. That is how my life is.

Let 'er grow, I guess!

*tries to remember where all of her sparkly headbands are now*

I cut my bangs last night..

Just saying...

[Hack]

1. I'm easily distracted and often have no sense of time.

2. Yet, sometimes at work, I will focus so intently on something that I don't realize it's dark out and the time to go home has long passed.

3. The older I get, the more I just won't tolerate certain behavior and treatment. My days of being the most patient guy, I fear, are over.

4. I hate musicals.

5. Grace Kelly in the movie "Rear Window" is my version of an ideal femme.

[moxie]

1. I watch All My Children on weekday evenings if I get home from work in time. In fact, I am watching it right now.

2. I do not have any tattoos but have wanted the same two since I was 15 (I am 37). Either a barcode on the back of my neck right underneath the hairline or a certain French phrase on the interior of my right wrist so that I can always see it if needed. I've never gotten them because I was afraid 20 years down the road I would regret them. It appears not to be the case.

3. I cannot be in complete silence unless I am doing therapy. I have to sleep with either a fan or the radio on. I always have to have background noise.

4. I REALLY like lemons. I even have a lemon perfume...smells like lemon drops.

5. I can go for days without talking to anyone. I had a lot of practice as a kid.
