5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Lynn]

I never liked steak until I met my partner. I thought it was supposed to be cooked like my mom cooked it...like shoe leather.

Being on Facebook brings up all kinds of memories and feelings. It's weird to "bump into" my old schoolyard bullies on pages of friends. I don't like it.

I was going to get lobster the other night, but it was just too much $$. I settled for the best shrimp scampi that I ever had. O.M.G.

Right now, I am a little preoccupied with my kids. Hoping the older one gets into grad school, and that the younger one finds a date or a buddy for the junior prom. Positive vibes appreciated.

Tonight, I'm going to have more coconut bunny cake for dessert.

[Gemme]

I. Love. Steak. I'm an omnivore.

I used to have a fairly decent singing voice until puberty kicked in. The boys had their voice cracks and I had everything...pitch, timbre, etc...jump up a notch or two. I may or may not have sounded like Minnie Mouse on helium.

I am looking for an old picture of me smoking my gramp's pipe. I was about 4.

I am very thin skinned (physically, not as much emotionally). I get cold and hot very easily.

Even though I love candy, I do not like candy corn, but I will hurt someone for circus peanuts.

[bigbutchmistie]

I love NCIS. I watch it over and over again. I never get enough

I have never worn a tux

I cant stand to eat spicy foods

I love NHL Hockey

I cant stand basketball and baseball.

[Jet]

People describe me as "fascinating"
Jean Valjean and Atticus Finch are my favorite literary characters
I'm very polite and mannerly
I have a deep voice
I have a music collection that includes burgandy, gold, red, white and heart-shaped records.

[Gemme]

My favorite "buggy" type creature is the roly poly, followed very closely by the ladybug.

Whenever I see a white butterfly, I always think of weddings.

I have butterflies, a ladybug and a lizard in my tats.

A plant here at work has so many no-see-ems around it, I want to take a flame thrower to them.

I ran through a patch of grass when I was about 5ish and stepped directly onto a bee, stinger side up. It took 4 grown men, my mom and her friend to hold me down while they took the pliers to my foot to get out the bits of bee and stinger that were jammed into my skin.

[Kimbo]

I love dark chocolate.

I saw a speech therapist for years for a tongue thrust...I was never cured.*perk*

The town that I am from had a population less than 800 when I was growing up. Everybody knew everybody.

Philo T Farnsworth was my cousin and is said to be the original inventor of the TV. (RCA ripped him off)

I worked in a slaughter house for years....hard to believe when you know how compassionate I am about animals.

[Soon]

I have no middle name (despite all other siblings having one).

My dad died on the same date as my ex-boyfriend's birthday--I called him up and said, "Happy Birthday, my dad just died." (it was a recent break up--issues!)

I memorized my multiplication tables in grade three when I was sick with pneumonia for three weeks.

I peaked in grade four when I won both best athlete and best student awards. I could feel the eyes of hatred as I collected both. They turned on me the next year.

In grade five I received my first negative report card comment--(paraphrasing)--Despite excellent grades, she tends to be snarky at times (snarky I think was the actually word but, after joining forums, I don't think it was the appropriate word! I think I just had opinions.) I decided it wasn't worth being the good girl after that.

[UofMfan]

I think I have played most sports known to mankind, but not all.

I love the opera, museums, plays and most cultural things, yes I am a geek that way.

I could play ping pong for hours, but haven't in a long time.

I love to dance, in fact, this is something that takes most of my friends by surprise.

Most people who meet me for the first time think I am very serious, they are mistaken.

[bigbutchmistie]

Funny UofMfan people think Im serious too in person LOL... Im so not..

[Soft*Silver]

I hate leaving the house with chipped nail polish

I am not a phone person. The only time I talk alot on the phone is if I am engaging in an LDR. All my friends know that if they want to chat they have to do it in email or stop over.

I am not a fan of sushi

I have to start eliminating sugar and carbs from my diet because I was just told I am insulin resistant

if I could only eat one food, it would be apples

[Enchantress]

1. I have been known to talk in my sleep as well as sleep walk (especially when I'm feeling stress)

2. I keep a screw driver in my freezer

3. Sometimes when I'm alone I will act out a scene as if I was in a play (don't judge)

4. I can never find a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. (meaning I set something down and it's suddenly and magically misplaced) It's a strange phenomenon.

5. If I'm craving a tangerine, it's usually an indication that I'm avoiding "life issues".

[AtLast]

1. I asked my son to give me a Harley for my 60th Birthday, a red one with a side-car for my dog.

2. I am loyal to the point that is can be unhealthy at times.

3. I have to dance daily or I get very crabby.

4. I have frog statues all over my yard and gardens.

5. I hate to play board games.

[Random]

1. I may have accidently picked up the third twilight book while at my parents house.. (It was in their store and I was needing something to read) I was several pages into the book before I recognised the players... I found the book to be childish, angst ridden, and I wanted to shake all three of them more than once... But under that I found a interesting plot... Sigh.. I now have read the next one to find out what happenes.. Years of avoiding the Twilight train gone to waste...

2. I am now borderline obsessed with making flowered hair combs.. My mother is an enabler, as she sent home boxes of crafting supplies with me.. I hope I can sell them, other wise I am going to have a hella lot of flowered hair combs..

3. I have gained 60 lbs in the last 8 months and I dislike my body a great deal. It's hard to feel sexy and powerful when you are not loving your body..

4. I generally have a song playing in the background of my mind...

5. After spending a massive amount of time with people, I reach saturation point.. I don't want to talk, don't want to interact in R/T.. I need to recharge my batteries at this point..
