My fantasy for a double life has been at night to be a pole dancer at a fat grrl strip club, just gotta start one :D

Much more fun than being a mole!

Sorry Belle, on the phone with my sweetie for 1.5 hours:)

Embarrassing, eh? Kind of hard for me since I have spent my life avoiding embarrassment at all costs.

Ok, the only one that comes to mind is kind of mortifying. Even though I was 110 pounds at age 13, all of my girlfriends weighed about 90-100 pounds and I always was preoccupied with getting thinner and fitting in.

One day, a bunch of us were walking home from school with some boys and I was telling them about a new girl that was going to be in our home room and I said, "She's really cute and has a good figure" and one of the boys said, in front of everyone: "Yeah? Like you?".

I don't know if it was embarrassment or shame but I can still cringe at being singled out in front of everyone like that and everyone laughed like it was the funniest thing ever.

That's the truth:(

A dare for Belle…if she is willing to accept.
 

NOT going to happen!!!!!!! Good idea but ummm NO.

1. I'm in my nightgown and the pool is in "shock" mode with high chlorine levels. I would be killed or something worse.

2. I can't swim....

3. I don't know how to and have never done a "cannonball".

4. Doing a cannonball would get my hair wet. Geeze.

I pick truth!!!!

I swear this is not my trash, but it is my trash can. Apparently the roommate was making poor food choices today...:|

Those crew socks on the left should look familiar since you were with me when I bought them. That front middle section is where I keep the strays until the partner shows up. Black socks for work. And this has reminded me that I have to get my laundry out of the dryer. So Hollylane, how was it being in my drawers?

ACK! Yes! I was raised by parents whose parents came from the Old Country. My parents were not Americanized yet...it was my generation who finally learned and abided by American culture. So, when my mother bought or made me school clothes, she did not have the "rules" to teach me. Like,stripes and prints do not go together. you dont wear forest green herringbone skirts with an orange belt and a purple Nehru shirt..with a smiley face on it. LOL. I didnt know you wore different shoes with different outfits! I had no concept that certain textures didnt match! I was raised by farmers...we didnt even have tv. We never bought magazines. I had no close neighbors. When I went to school for the first time, and saw hundreds of kids my age, I could not understand why I stood out and was targeted by the bullies. If you are not raised to see differences, you cannot see them. I did not know there was such a thing as a hair style. We only had hair cuts. Classmates had running water in the house. We had a well outside out kitchen. We had an outhouse until I was 9 years old. We didnt even have a radio to listen to music. It was there for news. Or talk shows. It was a very plain and simple life. And America was becoming much more complicated as capitalism and consumerism began to grow. My mother had two dresses when she was in high school. I had 4 outfits. One pair of shoes. And ankle socks. While everyone else was wearing knee highs.

yes, yes, the fashion police should have shown up and taken me to a kind prison or reform school where I could have learned all these things. it wasnt until i was actually graduated and got a job in a retail store that I learned American ways. I was floored you could buy dishes in a SET! And sheets too! And silverware!

Life when I was young, was very hard, and very interesting. I was tormented. And it affected me for the rest of my life. But it taught me so much about perspectives and I never forget that the world I live in, might not be the world the person standing next to me lives in..even if they are my neighbor...

I'm proud of you, friend, since you never open up like this on the board. It is healthy to be vulnerable! <high five>

Great thread!

Love the truths as well as the dares!

Holly, your trash can made me lol:)

Gaige your drawer looks exactly like my sweetie's!

Is it a butch thing?

Mine are not quite so tidy and military-looking!

Also enjoyed Belle's no cannonball/getting hair wet (made perfect sense to me, being a femme and all...)

Appreciated Miss Tia's truth very much:)

Five star thread!
