1. My dream 'pet' would be a (rescue) marmoset or other kind of monkey.

2. I can be pretty morbid. Memento mori, autopsy photographs, anything do with death/dying, that's the kind of thing I look for on YouTube when I'm looking to relax a bit (I was the kid who snuck out of school to eat her packed lunch in the cemetery opposite so this isn't exactly something new).

3. I recently had a mini facelift and my upper and lower lids done after years of saying I would ''never, ever'' have cosmetic surgery. I originally justified the eyelid surgery by saying that it was necessary in order to improve my eyesight, which it did (I have peripheral vision loss due to glaucoma/other eye issues). I'm now planning a tummy tuck for the autumn and won't be justifying it to anyone. (Go me!)

4. I love (and miss) disco.

5. I don't cook. Ever. I have a butch who loves to cook and I am more than happy for Him to do so.

Dear Rook,
 

I've read your post and I want you to know that I am empathetic. I cannot imagine the hardship. I care about that...I don't know you and I'm helpless in lending a hand—first hand. But I want you to know, I am supportive and I am going to do something quietly and privately to help you in a way you're not aware of.

If there are positive changes in your life, please let us know. And know, that I am thinking of you and concerned for your welfare.

I'm shy in some things. I won't make the first move when I'm out with someone. I just can't. I haven't had to for the past decade so getting back into the Vancouver thing where butches don't make first moves (? Or something?) I have sat parked in a car outside my house for up to an hour talking, feeling really confused because aren't they supposed to at the very fucking least try to kiss me here? Isn't that the whole point of sitting in a parked car outside my house? And waiting.... And waiting.... And nothing.... Dum de dum.... Ok this is agonizing for me now, I don't understand why we are sitting here, I'm going to go. And I leave feeling horribly disappointed. Then confused as to why they are calling and asking me out again if they don't want to kiss/shag me. It's obviously not for hanging out, they are asking me on date things. But they don't try to kiss me and they don't ask to stay over or put their hand on my leg or....???

So if that happens twice, I turn down the third date. It seems that it's a pointless exercise in awkward and growing confusion. I've had one take me on six dates and nothing happened. Why? Why would I keep going? I have no idea what that person wanted from me. I don't understand. I finally stopped going and finally stopped responding to messages.

So, I can't make first moves. At all. I can ask someone to go hang out for a beer. But I can't make the first physical moves. Apparently this is a hideous handicap now. Wasn't before, now is.

I am terrified. TERRIFIED of cockroaches and stinkbugs. Any insect that flies, forget it.

If I could eat burgers and fries every day – I would. I love a good, greasy burger.

I am all about DIY the more rustic and homemade the better

With a few exceptions, I prefer the company of animals to that of people.

If I'm not going anywhere you bet your sweet aspercream I will stay in my pjs all damn day!

5 for 5!
 

1. I love to listen to the rain, its one of the most soothing sounds I know of.
2. I get lost in art.... all of it, paintings, photography, music... I can look at it or listen to it for a long time and just... let my mind go.
3. I plan to one day own an arts and crafts gallery.
4. I am very picky about the people I let into my life... a big part because of my kids. I believe it is a safe assumption that you will treat my children the same way you treat me... for that reason... you have to be pretty amazing to stay in my life.
5. My favorite flowers are dahlias. I love them... just, truly love them.

I am the best butt/back scratcher this side of the Mississippi.

My feet are pretty. :rofl:

I have great gams... no really!

I never make the same meatloaf twice, but it's always good.

I have magical hands.

I strongly dislike rain, and in fact I have trouble falling asleep if it's raining because the noise is distracting. I have been working on not actively hating it, until recently it affected me negatively emotionally.

I freeze at 20 degrees celcius. Hate the cold.

Despite identifying as a butch, I'm very shy and rarely make the first move.

I don't own or particularly want any kind of video games or video game players, apart from a couple of board games on my phone.

I have never traveled overseas for the sake of a holiday. I've been overseas twice but both times were for a specific purpose. I'm not in any hurry to change that.

-I wear my heart on my sleeve though I'm old enough to know better.

-I love a woman's eyes first. As seen thru my own green ones.

-I have a dress shirt problem. And a closet full to prove it.

-I have 6 fish. Named L,G,B.T.Q and Z. Z is questioning his identity. That's allowed here:)

-The only thing I have found elusive in life...true love.

One. ) My pinky fingers are bent inward. And they are really oddly cute!

Two.) I am a huge Dr. Who fan. And I do like the new Doctor a lot!

Three.) I hate calling people. I get all nervous and my palms sweat. Oh its bad! The odd thing is, I am fine once I get them on the phone. Its just the dialing the number and then having it ring till the person answers the phone.

Four.) I love coding.

Five.) My sister and I are both married to people who share the same first name.

1.) I don't enjoy talking on the phone for the fear that I won't be able to say what I need to say correctly.
2.) I'll cook beets for my wife and add them to our dinners, but I won't eat them.
3.) I dislike long fingernails.
4.) I can't drink wine because it gives me a headache but I enjoy the taste.
5.) When I buy myself clothes or shoes, I won't wear them for at least 1 month, I have to get use to seeing them in my closet before I start enjoying them.

I dance a lot at work.
My go to song, ALWAYS, to hum, "You belong to me".
I love country music.
I wish I could grow more geraniums in my garden.
There is something about textures that make me want touch everything.
I miss the smell of the sea.
My mouth works faster than my brain sometimes.

1. I am fiercely independent. I live alone, pay my own bills and have a successful career that I love and look forward to doing everyday, even when I get a little cranky about my long hours. It's always worth it, and I can sleep when I'm dead.

2. I have climbed the pyramids in Egypt but I was too scared to go inside. I regret it!

3. I have a grateful dead tattoo on my leg, and I dated a girl with the exact same tattoo on her leg too which was weird. We still are friends :)

4. My father is gay, but we are not close (or even speaking) unfortunately. I wish it would be different but boundaries are important.

5. I am a fraternal twin, and we are complete opposites in every way.

1. I always wanted to have an afro but have super straight hair instead.

2. I'm not a fan of using burlap as decoration.

3. I love doing secret little surprises for friends, coworkers and family. Like, a chocolate left in a purse when someone is having a bad day. Or doing something unexpected to help them knock something off their to do list. Making people in bad moods crack a smile is one of my favorite things.

4. I don't wear the color brown much.

5. I love music from the early 90s. "Never trust a big butt and a smiiiile"

1) I tease the people in my life mercilessly if I like/love them.
2) I'm like a 12 year old boy when it comes to potty humor.
3) I have the ability to memorize and match color without having any kind of physical reference.
4) I love reading young adult fiction.
5) I despise the color blue.

Let's see... maybe a few know this stuff but here goes:

I'm a twin... no she's not Butch! I get asked that a lot. We are fraternal.

I like to watch old black/white musicals. Haven't done this in awhile but should get back into it.

If I love you or care about you, you will know it... whether friend, lover, or partner. I try to express that often and in different ways.

Math is my favorite subject. lol

My parents were divorced when I was six months old. My "father" and I use that term lightly, hasn't been in my life at all, which is okay. The only thing I thank him for is my looks as I am the spitting image of him.

1. I sleep with the TV on
2. I'm a social butterfly
3. I never meet a stranger
4. I am loyal, to my family and friends
5. I ALWAYS wear a hat

I love the color of orange: My mom used to have a Satin blouse in a dark shade of orange and I'd find a million reasons to borrow her blouse.

I don't really care for famous brand cologne or perfumes. I like the natural scents of natural oils from flowering plants that one might find in a private scent collection made by independent producers of such finery.

I gave up hating the haters who hate me. Instead, I find reasons to punish them with loving, random acts of kindness. I feel better lately, having discovered that I could do such a thing.

I find reasons to wear my favorite pair of flip flops, even in bad weather.

I threw all my bras away before I found out how expensive bras are, nowadays.
I really need a few new bras and wish I hadn't thrown out my well-worn bras.

[QUOTE=Crow;937223]-I wear my heart on my sleeve though I'm old enough to know better.

Is anyone ever too old to wear their heart on their sleeve?

1. I wear a cowboy hat more then I should
2. I hate riding horses without a specific saddle
3. I drink more sweet tea then I really should
4. I have 16 tattoos but they are nothing elaborate
5. I prefer country over the other genres out there
