A bit about you.

[kannon]

I've lost about 20 lbs over the last year and a half. I've workout all my life for an hour or 2, 4 or 5 times a week. I was encouraged to exercise and participate in sports as a youngster. I always thought I would play on the penn circuit after graduating from college. So, I've always worked out and participated in sports.

Someone invited to play catch football at the park several months ago. I was frickin' huffing and puffing after a chasing down a few balls. I realized how out of shape I am.

[StrongButch]

I am left handed, love to cook and bake,love animals, keep my house clean and only like hockey and baseball and prefer to be at the game.

[Sarafemme]

I work at a public library (a job I love), and also as a freelance newspaper writer

I have a bachelor's degree in English.

I grew up on a farm and currently live in a small town but have city-girl sensibilities.

My favorite color is pink.

I have an addiction to mocha lattes. And Richie Sambora's solo music (yes, he does have 3 solo albums out there and they are blues-rock style and wonderful).

My favorite time of year is Christmas, and my Christmas tree ornaments color-coordinate with my family room decor LOL.

I adore fashion and shopping secondhand for a unique look.

(Perhaps you can suggest a couple more? I'm always looking for new music.)

Do you (Merlin or anyone), live near or with family members?



(Not sure if I'm doing this right...)

I'm a closet Hall & Oates fan. And if you call me out on it in public, I will casually deny it (not vehemently, though; because when you do that it looks like it is true, lol) because <I can't go for that, lmao> I'm far too young and too cool to listen to them, lol. God, I hope no one ever steals my iPod or I'll be humiliated!

I really wish I had an ant farm, except I won't buy one because I think they are inhumane. I just picture all those tiny little consciousnesses imprisoned for the amusement of little kids who don't know any better and adults who just don't care. (Also, I think ant farms generally only contain something like 6 months worth of sustenance so what happens to them once the food runs out?)

Today is weird because I have just enough money for coffee, but not enough gas in my car to go get it (it's within walking distance, but that will be one dang long walk, lol). I get paid later today, so I'm trying to ride it out. I can wait, but having the first coffee of the day in the afternoon isn't the same.

I'm excited for my plans this weekend.

[uglyboi]

I can talk nonsense for hours. Every morning the first thing Beasley says to me is, "Here we go".

I am simultaneously the nicest and meanest person you'll ever meet.

If I don't see an important person through the day, I will wear the same clothes tomorrow.

I don't eat anything with loaf in the title. No telling what's ground up in it. It gives me a easy-queasy feeling in my stomach.

Beasley will be home soon so I can start talking again.

I hate to grocery shop. I will dislocated both of my shoulders to get all the groceries inside in one trip.

When both my socks match it feel like I've got it going on!

I am a goal-oriented person. Short-term, long-term, mere dreams… I have no direction or sense of purpose without a goal in mind at all times.

The other day I asked my mother what she remembered about me growing up and she said, "Nothing." *L*

On April 10th, 2014, Hall and Oates will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at Brooklyn's Barclays Center alongside Nirvana and Kiss.

Ive lost 20 lbs so far and plan to lose some more.

I love music and listen to 80s New Wave alot. Music is one thing that can always make me feel better or calm me down after a stressful day.

I'm a hopeless romantic that has never even been on a date. Due to severe social anxiety most of my life that made it impossible. After much soul searching and hard work over the last few years I can now say I have slain the anxiety beast , although sometimes it twitches.

I find myself in a constant state of self discovery as of late.

I'm a storyteller a dreamer and sometimes a trickster. Like the time I took the battery out of the price gun at work just to watch my manager yell and search the store for like 15-20 mins until she magically found it under her desk in her office. She spent the rest of the day wondering how it got there because she knows I would never waste time at work like that...right? lol

[Kätzchen]

I'm not as outgoing as I once used to be. My social circle is rather small and I am okay with that.

I like shopping for unique, not so popular styles of clothing and accessories. I actually can't stand popular brands of clothing because I just don't identify with that kind of thing. I like unusual materials, patterns, prints and lean more toward simplicity in style.

That said, I prefer colors like black or shimmering shades of violet, blue and pale shades of pink or rich shades of browns or coral tones. I'm fairly fussy about the color red, too. It has to be a tonal shade that is warm and not too cool.

I love summer, can hardly stand winter these days.
I guess I could go on, but long warm summers, thunderstorms, pearly skies or days of dazzling sunshine make my heart smile.

I also only date people I have come to know in life here at home. Life's too short.

And I've come to see that some clichés aren't too far from the truth. Time really does fly.

[Shystonefem]

I have three sons. The youngest is 22. I also have 3 granddaughters.

I have been "out" for 21 years.

I never weigh myself, however, I do measure my waist, hips, etc regularly.

I am really a free spirit and have come to realize that I cannot deal with people who try to set rules for me or critique' my life.

I will not stay at a job that I don't like and I am rarely worried about getting a new job.

I was a very solitary person after my divorce, I needed and enjoyed it. I am starting to engage life again.

I, recently, went back into business for myself and obtained a few clients. I am at my best when I work for myself.

I left rescue (the think I love the most in this world) for a long time and I am, finally, getting back into it. I am hoping to foster a pregnant mom soon.

I have a huge heart, sometimes too big.

I love who I am and I refuse to allow anyone, ever again, to try to change me. Like me for who I am or move on.

I really love The Planet.

[ferret]

I'm left handed, and my mom had a hell of a time teaching me to tie my shoes when I was little.
I'm the middle child.
My favorite color is blue.
I took piano lessons growing up and played in band.
My favorite music is 80s, but I'm a huge Duran Duran fan. Don't judge me!
I typically like "girly" things - painting my toenails, bubble baths,
baking.
I have a soft spot for animals, and often prefer their company to that of people.
I'm both incredibly loyal and sensitive, and both of those things can get me into trouble.
At one time, I wanted to be a writer.

I am also left handed! The old wives tale is that left handed people are evil. LOL

I've heard the saying about lefties are the only ones in their right minds.

I'm also left handed. A few years back I was doing research on epigenetics and homosexuality. Several times I read that there is a correlation between the two. They are both epigenetic, as are hazel eyes, which I also have. Whole lotta epigenes up in this body.

(At least that's the conclusion the majority of papers I read came to.)

[girlin2une]

i am also left handed... and i read that too ferret!
although my eyes are green, sometimes they appear to be hazel...

[Orema]

Another lefty here and it looks like I'm in good company.
