5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Kätzchen]

I have a fetish for snake skin: If I could shoot a gun, I'd shoot every snake I came across because I just love how they look on my feet.

I never could learn how to roller skate backwards or ride my bicycle sitting on the handlebars: I'm complicated like that!

I love the ocean, but I was nearly ripped off the beach by a sneaker wave when I was young and it left a terribly deep impression on me that I still cannot shake from my mind, even if it was years ago. So I worship the ocean from a safe distance.

My youngest sister once threw a rock at my eldest brother and I nearly died laughing so hard at what happened that I nearly regretted laughing.

I once disappeared without a trace to prove a point to my family. I don't regret making that choice as it facilitated the result I was after. I could very well do it again under the right circumstances.

When I was a child, I ran away from home and no one noticed. All that sobbing, walking across the bridge into down town, like a pathetic waif, and no one noticed. (pooooor me!) The desired result was *not* facilitated!

For two years, I have been seeking to obtain a job that pays more and has better benefits. One where I don't have to drive 400 miles or more per week. One that has some kind of retirement benefit. With all the interviews, I can't seem to make it to the final offer. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Do I want it too much or not enough? Is there ever going to be something for me?

Sadie has made almost a complete adjustment to her new home with us. She hops on our laps, plays fetch with her toys (and the cats'), sleeps in our bed, and leaps for joy when we come home. The cats are starting to relax around her, too.

It's gratifying to see my younger daughter doing so well in school this year. She's finishing up her final half year, so she can get her h.s. diploma. Then she will go into a college program for young adults with mild developmental disabilities. It's amazing that she's come so far. I remember all the years of uncertainty, especially concerning her health.

I still find it disconcerting to see certain people on Facebook (friends of friends) who used to be bullies. My bullies. Now they live normal lives with their children and spouses, and I wonder how they can even raise healthy, functional kids. What do they know about life that they didn't know then? Are their kids bullies, too?

I smoke and it has been an ongoing struggle to "kick the habit". Still trying.

I am somewhat of a hippie and love that era and surround myself with peace signs and try and view the world in this optimistic, love for all place.

I had many eye surgeries as a child and almost lost my sight. But, my eyes are fine now.

I have always been a girly girl but was somewhat of a tomboy in pink in elementary school. I was the one of the first girls chosen when picking sides in football and kickball. Still love sports and, even at my age, was on a women's softball team two years ago.

I collect tiny little tea sets and i still have some from when i was a child.

When eating hot cheetos, I suck all the chili powder off, take it out of my mouth, look at it, then chew it.

I’m ok with most chores, but putting away clean laundry… God have mercy.

Speaking of laundry, it bugs me if the hangers in my closet don’t face the same way. But I don’t care if I hang clothes up inside out.

When I’m texting someone and I’m excited I will read the last message they sent me and the last message I sent them in different voices and laugh.

I’m terrified of Oprah.

[kissinfemme]

[Kelt]

Picnic, the verb. Best thing there is.

I really like quiet

* One of my biggest fears is growing old alone, but love spending an abundant amount of time alone now, so why would I fear that when I get old? I'm a wierdo.

* I am having one of the best years of my life since turning 40! (and it is just going to get better and better!

* I don't feel like my football uniform is complete without a jock strap.

* I tell my dogs to be good every morning when I leave for work...they can't be anything BUT good in their kennels.

* I am fascinated to think that I can be looking at the moon and call someone in a whole other part of the country and tell them to look at the moon, and when they do, it makes me feel closer to them geographically. Again, I'm a wierdo...lol

I practice doing most things with only one hand in case I lose the other. Although absolutely left-handed (except golf and the guitar)...I am now quite ambidextrous.

I am afraid of only snakes and can not even bring myself to touch them in books. Forget watching a Tarzan movie where inevitably an anaconda will drop from the trees onto some poor, unsuspecting safari-goer.

I like spam and jelly sandwiches...but it can only be apple jelly.

If I eat a candy bar I will sometimes put the wrapper in my shoe and walk around with it in there all day. It is sorta like it is my little secret.

When my cat talks to me (which is all the time)...I always pretend she is telling me how stunningly beautiful I am and carry on that conversation until she tires of it and seeks sanity in another room.

Another five:
I don't have or watch television. With the exception of a miserable six years living with a long-ago ex, I haven't had a television since I left my parent's house at 17. That was, um, a long time ago.

The list of foods I can eat has probably become shorter than the list of foods I can't eat.

The sight of oatmeal can actually make me gag.

I've never belonged to a gym.

If I ever become so disabled that I can no longer ride motorcycles, I've told all my friends to just pull the plug.

I have a rare blood disorder, the two main bad things about it- makes my blood vessels overreact to the cold making me get colder faster, and the biggy- if I get cold and my body temp drops even a degree or two my blood (abnormal proteins and antibodies in it) starts to gel... yes gel. So I can't stay warm on my own well and if I get cold I can die, the in between state just is slightly painful.

I play guitar when I'm stressed, and I play a lot around the holidays- too much hubbub around shopping etc., which I love, shopping that is,,, just not holiday shopping, the crowds and the florescent lights in the stores drive me batty.

I love old style decor, not old timey, not mod but real old style, Victorian etc. etc. and deplore modern eg: a white cube with a piece of glass on it for a table... ew, abrasive to the soul (my apologies to those with such decor, just not my style at all

I'm a misanthropist, though make no mistake those close to me have my total love, loyalty and adoration... it's all those idiots out there I can't stand... heh.

I once was arrested for riding my motorcycle atop a block wall, onto a bank building and jumping down on a berm on the other side in downtown. They couldn't catch me but arrived later at my house where I saw them out the window feeling the engine of my bike for warmth... they said the recognized me by my black leather pants, I fought it in court based on that but lost.

I held funerals for my dolls as a child, and buried them in my mother's flower beds. Hmmmm

I have blue green color blindness. Because I changed the rods and cones in my eyes by wearing purple, yes purple tinted lenses in the 70s.

I was a disco queen. No shit. Honest to god. And was damn good at it. I had people lined up all night wanting to dance with me.

I absolutely hate to dance now, except of course when i am hallucinating in a sleep clinic study. Then I belly dance and do my best to engage "my friends" to join me.

As a child, i was an alien cow one year and the "wow factor" was that I came from Udder Space...

[Mr Nice Guy]
