1. I want to live in a yurt in the woods. This may be more of a possibility than I care to admit.

2. I love my family very much.

3. I do not trust easily.

4. I'm not a morning person.

5. Strong-scented flowers give me the worst kinds of headaches.

I am left handed

I won a state wide basketball competition when I was in highscool. I made 42 free throws in a row.

My hand writing is REALLY bad.

My dad and I conspired to throw an egg toss game so another girl and her father could win. It was my last year in YMCA Indian Princess program. I still have my bear claws and headdress. I still know that girl.

I abandoned somebody out of fear when I was young. Biggest mistake of my life!! I am committed to not making that mistake ever again!!

1. I often wake up early, and go back to sleep after an hour or so. I wish I could sleep through the night.

2. I want to go to Disneyworld in the worst way.

3. I almost called 911 on the paper delivery guy the other morning. There had been a series of break-ins, and, when I heard him on the porch, I first thought he was an intruder. Thankfully, I was too shaken to even dial 9-1-1.

4. We have five cats, which I think is too many. I love them all, but I get embarrassed telling people.

5. I think I could eat cereal for every meal. Especially the ones that are so sugary, I wouldn't feed them to my kids.

1. I giggle a lot, and I do mean alot, especially when I'm happy or nervous/feeling mischievous.

2. I'm looking forward to my 30th birthday--in New Orleans with my sweetie.

3. I have published both poetry and porn.

4. I am "sensitive" but I'm (finally) learning to be unapologetic about telling others how I feel.

5. I can't watch skeery movies alone (but I like them if they're not gorey). And, I'm likely to crawl in your lap if you're near me on the couch.

1-3 are exactly me.

I am a morning person. I could easily live in the woods with very little. I dream about it all the time.

There is a book, "The Last American Man", I read it and fantasied about heading off into the wild and just surviving or with very little. Then the reality of winter hits and you realize how cruel mother earth/nature can be sometimes.

4- Most people don't know what a self sufficient woman I am. I am a great outdoors woman and can cook or do almost anything outdoors.

5- I cry everytime I see a SPCA or Humane Society commercial.

*I have glaucoma

*I love to wear mismatched t-shirts and boxers to bed

*I would much rather live at the beach

*I love disco music & to dance to that

*I have to write down everything and I mean everything

Let's see...

(1.) I love cold spaghetti for breakfast... or pizza... (but usually eat fairly classic breakfasts)

(2.) I'm very laid back and easy going in real life... not sure I come off that way online and probably read as far more critical than I ever could manage to work up for real.

(3.) I pretty much raised myself from the age of 12 on up because my mom had her own issues and my brother's a severe drug addict... my father had a different family by around then.

(4.) I'm very private and have trust issues, I'm trying to look at why... the problem is I don't have to look hard, and thus wonder if I should even change that... yet I still desire to.

(5.) On a lighter note... my favorite clothes are a comfy pair of well loved blue jeans.

1. I still have my Barbie doll collection from when I was younger, they are going to be divided equally and given to my two nieces.

2. That I collect postcards and my favorite one is from St. Jean de Monts in Southern France, it was sent to me by a good friend.

3. That I love my friends like they are my family.

4. That I am the first person in my family to graduate from College.

5. I don't trust easy, and if you mess me over, watch out.

1. Me too, I'm a little afraid of escalators. I worry about tripping and falling, and sometimes it takes me a few seconds to make sure I'm OK.

2. I think it's related to the fact that I have depth perception problems because I don't have "binocular" vision. One eye is nearsighted and one is farsighted, so I really don't use both at the same time.

3. It is for this reason, at least in part, that I was so terrible at sports, and I was always picked last in gym and at camp. boo hoo

4. I still have a bit of a "complex" (I'm neurotic...) about being liked and accepted. Certain situations trigger it. Otherwise, I am fierce and confident.

5. I have made a number of resolutions involving improving my health, and it seems very important to honor those resolutions. I am going to be 50 this year, and I sometimes feel older than my own parents.

Im incredibly touchy feely and NEED to touch people and get depressed if I don't get hugged often

I miss my friends more than my mother since moving to Cali from Florida (don't tell mom)

I make the best chilli ever according to my Honey

I love talking to people individually but clam up in a crowd

I hate most pictures taken of me as an adult

I'm touchy feely too. Let's touch and feel one another, mkay? :eyebat:

I'll give you the chili, but I make the best spaghetti according to multiple folks (that are NOT family!).

I didn't notice you clammy at all. :bringcoffee:

I rue the day the camera ate the pic of you in the red dress. It's on my Life's To Do List to get another one. :trampoline:

I like oatmeal and juice for breakie. Oatmeal cookie ---> :cookielove:

1. HELL yeah! Im going to poke Mel and inform her we're coming to visit you so I can get some touching and feeling in!

2. You can make skettie for me and I'll woo you with my chili

3. We I sure didn't scout out a microphone and ANYONE woulda shed their clothes in a roomful of beautiful women so... yeah Im SO shy!

4. Come visit. Bring the camera!

5. You. I miss tremendously

5 Things Nobody Knows!
 

* Watching people climb ladders makes my feet sweat.

* I dont like lemon Lifesavers.

* I have made a resolution not to buy any new makeup in 2010 (except for liquid eyeliner and mascara)

* I have never read a trashy romance novel

* In public restrooms, I always flush with my foot. Even when wearing a skirt.

1. I'm so uncomfortable with heights that my stomach drops when I look *up* at a tall building.

2. I constantly fantasize about remodeling my house.

3. I wish I still lived in Pennsylvania, where the seasons are more manageable and my family lives close by.

4. I'm not sure if my daughter will ever be able to live on her own, or if I'll have the courage to let her. I'll worry about her safety all the time, due to her medical problems.

5. I love paying my bills. I am grateful to have the ability to be responsible for my own life, financially.

1. My 30s have been better than my 20s, which were better than my teens, which were better than my early childhood. I'm looking forward to what my 40s bring. :dance2:

2. If all goes according to plan, I am only about 6 months away from being an empty-nester. I have never lived alone before and am trying to prepare myself.

3. I keep chopsticks, dog treats, and coffee in my desk at work at all times.

4. I have someone really special in my life who barely does email and doesn't do forums or other online communities at all.

5. I like reptiles, especially snakes and geckos. It makes me angry when someone kills a snake merely for existing. Not many things make me angry, but wanton killing is around the top of the list.

Bonus: In the last couple of months I've had my first ever revenge fantasies, all featuring the incompetent consultant I'm currently required to report to at work, who makes huge, business-continuity-threatening mistakes and blames them all on me. :sado:

1. I am addicted to the Twilight Saga, and the Sookie Stackhouse Series.

2. I am half Puerto Rican and half Mexican but cant speak spanish (only the bad words hehe)

3. I like to cook an think i am pretty good at it too!

4. I love senseless comedy (Fanboys, Sex Drive, Superbad, Half Baked, Southpark)

5. I work 2 jobs and have 4 kids and LITERALLY have no time for myself

This post is being brought to you by my stomach...
 

I like lists.
 

Hmm..
 

1. I am irrationally afraid of non domesticated rodents, bats, and poisonous snakes and spiders. Other than the fears listed I love all animals and have had mice and hamsters for pets and currently have an albino corn snake as a pet.

2. I battled anorexia and my self image in high school. I have traveled very far from that place. I no longer allow myself to intentionally starve and learned how to let food be a small part of life not a big part or the center of my life. I still have irrational and low self esteem and avoid looking at my body to prevent the past from recurring.

3. I play the flute and have always listened to classical music. My favorite composer is Mozart and I love Ammadeus the movie. Didnt care about accuracies.

4. I have been depressed for too long and its not easy for me to be positive and hopeful. I work very hard at it.

5. I can accept and love anyone, flaws included, forgive and give multiple chances for any mistake made. But lying and deciet will cause me to become paranoid and is the fastest way to lose me, friend or family or lover. Because I am so accepting and loving it makes it impossible for me to overlook it. There are no reasons to fear being honest with me. So once the lying happens, I need that trust rebuilt and efforts made to believe that person again.

Ok.....this made me snort milk outta my nose.

1. I play the flute, too. I used to think I was really good, but now I know that I'm not. I played for a while in a community orchestra, and might do that again some day.

2. Although I'm an emotional, sensitive person, I see no reason to argue bitterly, raise voices, or slide into irrational behavior when disagreeing in a relationship. When that does happen, it takes a piece of me.

3. I would like to lose weight and get into better shape before my 50th birthday in August. I *always* wait until the last minute....

4. I feel better when my children are with me. Even at 17 and 22.

5. If I could, I'd move to PA to be closer to family. I don't see that happening while my daughter is still in school and getting services from local agencies.

Why the brick?

To commemorate being the most tried woman in portland?

I knew it.

Maybe she was the very FIRST one ever tried there. :giggle:

1. I love HGTV network
2. I love reading tech books (even tho I have dyslexia) easier to understand than others
3. I worked in computers as programmer, analyst, operator, tech writer, trainer for 24yrs
4. I have worked in several major industries-telecommunications, insurance, banking
5. I want to be self sufficient=total green, self contained living

Now would I do that?:cheesy:
