[Blaze]

In 1973 I was the youngest swimmer from Hawaii to make the cut for the Munich Olympics, but missed it by 1/10 of a second, but I still got to go and watch it in Germany.

I have a bad habit of always wanting to start something, and usually never finish it, I get bored.

My favorite vehicle to drive is a Truck

I am very superstitious and many of my reactions come from my ethnic mixed breed back ground.

I am not very good as far as talking to someone and making sense, but I can put words down on paper and it becomes poetry, (then I have to spell check) lol

[Arwen]

1. I love audio books
2. I've been on cruise ship that went through a hurricane
3. I've got a seriously bad sense of direction
4. I used to work for a women's independent music distributor
5. I was at ten Michigan Women's Music Festivals from the 10th to the 20th
   

[Lynn]

1 I love my job, I'm just not overly fond of working.

2. Every day, when I pull up to the building, I have to take a deep breath and get into the right frame of mind.

3. I tend to assume that everyone is at work for the same reason--to do the best job possible. This gets me into trouble from time to time.

4. I go back to bed for at least an hour every morning, after my daughter catches her 6:45am school bus. O.o

5. I rarely sleep though the night. If it isn't my own internal clock, it's the dog's.

[labete]

1. I don't do spontaneous very well. It tends to lead to anxiety attacks.

2. I absolutely despise when people use other people as weapons in their battles, and it's ten times worse if the people used as weapons are children.

3. I really, really want a massage right now.

4. I recently discovered the show "McLeod's Daughters" and have been watching it fanatically through Netflix every time I sit in front of the tv. Australian cowgirls for the win!

5. I really dig the vibe of the Planet vs. other sites in the same community.

[LieslKate]

1) I am a voracious reader of cookbooks and mysteries; I ran out of bookcases a couple of years ago.

2) I am THE eternal optomist but always the dumpee.

3) I am a true red head even though its mostly platinum now.

4) I am an orphan and have buried a child.

5) I am still waiting to grow up !

[SassyLeo]

1. I'm not good at asking for help

2. I like to fill my house with photos of friends and family

3. I'm one of those who actually likes brussel sprouts

4. I hate to dust...but I am a clean and tidy person

5. I love going out for Breakfast on Sunday mornings

3. 95% of the lighting in my house was made prior to 1970
4. I do not own any brown clothing or shoes

See, now I see why we have such similar taste

I have
1 brown shirt
1 brown sweater
1 brown swimsuit

Guess how much wear they get

Full-size pie shells (refrigerated, not frozen), pizza cutter, and bob's your uncle. Do I win a pie?

1. I have a lot of brown and it gets a lot of wear. I like brown. UPS, too. Known a lot of butches to work there.

2. I love sweet potato pie, but I really miss the little sweet potato cakes we used to get when we visited my grandmother when I was a kid.

3. I used to read voraciously, but I have a hard time getting into books anymore.

i still need the individual pie shells. i don't have teeny tiny pie pans...if i find the shells, they should have the pans.

if ever i find the shells, i'll add you to my pie list.

(i wanna see if i can interest a local coffeehouse in some small pies...can always use some travel cash or money for more camera equipment)

[Niceguy]

1. The first song I learned to play on guitar as a kid was Stairway to Heaven.

2. My 7th grade math teacher, Mr. Branch, thought I was a boy for the first 9 weeks of school.

3. When I was 14, I accidently drove my friend's mom's car into a swamp. What made it even worse is that they were both in the car at the time, along with two other friends.

4. My friends in high school always got accused of doing the mischievous things that I actually did.

5. The football coaches at my school asked me to be quaterback for our high school football team.

1 - I only became Fluent in Spanish & Catalan at the age of 10, I had no choice, My mother enrolled me in Elementary, Dropped a buncha comic books on my lap {popeye, archie, Condorito}, told me the alphabets, and the Vowels and said "if u wanna know what they're saying, thats what u need"...6 months later, Im talkin like speedy gonzales....
Before that? all I ever knew was the spanish version of "give me water, where's the bathroom, don't fuck with me"
unfortunately, i told the last bit to my very conservative gramma when we arrived*she wanted to tickle me*...


2- I'm profoundly Deaf, but it was Progressive..by the age of 6 I was classified by many teachers as a "lost cause"...
Twice I got stuffed in special Ed., and both times the teachers said I didnt belong there...I developed an uncanny skill at body language reading along with lip-reading, so that helps against pisspoor liars & braggarts..I dont know much ASL...but what I do know so far, I suppose the Deaf community finds acceptable.If my 'partner' and I have a serious communication issue, I break out the pen and paper.


3- I have a lightning-quick temper...I can be reasoned with though, most of the time...My relatives often call me "aballarde"{fire ant}...I s'pose combination redhead and puertorican doesnt help....[hmm, one cousin calls me chester cheetah, but i ignore her]

4- I love music, Theater & cinema

5- I'm a sappy softie with small furry animals{and prickly animals}, specially ferrets...and guinea pigs...

[Gemme]

1. I am very much the Gemini (not so difficult to see) in that I have a very lighthearted, happy side (again, not so difficult to see) but I also have a very deep, dark side that most people don't see. That is not by chance, either. I don't like having it, so I know others won't like seeing it.

2. Until recently, I was somewhat obsessed with NOT becoming my mother. For those that don't know, my mom was a paranoid schizophrenic. Thankfully, due (in part) to my fascination with shows like House, ER, Mercy...etc....I have come to learn (and more importantly, accept) that the older I get, the likelihood that I will develop the condition diminishes. It wouldn't be so bad for me, I suppose, but the remainder of my family would be devastated.

3. I struggle with S.A.D. and find myself very frustrated with those that cannot grasp the concept and/or don't take the time to try to understand the significance it has on my life not only in general, but especially this time of year.

4. I have no patience for those that have no patience for me. Hypocritical? Yes. Apologies? None.

5. Drunk people, especially men and very masculine members of our community, simultaneously annoy and terrify me. This has increased with age. As a child and up to around age 12, I could drink anyone under the table without getting drunk myself (and did). I've actually never been drunk. I had no issues with going to bars and events where alcohol flowed easily in my early 20s but now that I am in my mid-thirties...I tend to purposely avoid places where I know there will be alcohol or go with a group of trusted people, but even in that case....I don't like it.

[Rook]

I've been on Dialysis for 3 1/2 yrs...

I despise..Utterly...being even Mildly Cold unless it's very hot outside, and yes I will be exceedingly grouchy and unbearable until I'm comfortable.....

I believe in Chivalry at all times....until you hurt me, or piss me off.

I was raised Islamic while my parents were married, at the age of 7 I discovered a different religion, which left a lifelong impression for me..Buddhism, I wasnt allowed to visit anymore after the neighbor took me to some dharma center off base w/o his permission...after the divorce, mum's family.....hmm...overwhelmed me with their diversity...Catholics, hidden Sephardi, Santeria{this one i already knew, but..in-depth was...wow}, Pentecostals...

I'm a chocoholic...I'm not just throwing the word around...I'll indulge in the occasional Twix, if Im 'desperate'..Otherwise...? Belgians, Swiss, German...Sometimes French..
