Three Random Things About You!

[JackOfHearts]

I read that "I hate being in clowns"

I hate clowns.

I rang up a lot of lingerie at work today. I love valentines day. ;-)

I'm going to Hawaii in march. And I'm not looking forward to it. -_-

[dharmaqueen]

I used to have my own darkroom and sometimes miss the smell of developer solution.

I have twisted my ankle so many times that if it gets twisted again it barely even hurts more than a day.

I was never interested in medals and trophies until the day I watched the Brady Bunch and saw how much Bobby Brady wanted one of his own.

[Slacker]

1. I secretly would love to try sabre. (have been told I'm too slow to consider it!)
2. I'm considering switching clubs.
3. I pretend to be Zorro when I'm riding my horse.

Fencrgirl, tell me: being a daughter of a nun, do you feel deprived or sheltered?

[Fencergrl]

Neither Slacker. My mom was pretty sheltered however and to some extent her naiveté worked against her. She expected the church to practise what they preach. When she called them on it, and refused to back down they asked her to leave. Pretty brave considering that this was the 40's... My mother never had a problem with me questioning the things around me. I liked that about her.

Back on topic...

1) As a child, I was always painfully shy.
2) The first McDonald's in Canada was in my home town and I have never ever have had a Big Mac.
3) When I was 7 my favourite singer was John Lennon... I had no idea who the Beatles were. When I heard some of their early stuff I was not impressed.

[samh]

1) I am probably one of the most fanatic fencing fans out there (triple score on the alliteration). I search for results all the time, even scouring sites in languages that I do not understand.
2) I read this forum a lot but am generally disappointed with the vast majority of discussion.
3) Half of the reason I go to the gym is because it makes me a better fencer and the other half is that I don't want to propagate the stereotype of fencers as unathletic weenies.

[Got_Fenced_In]

As a kid I had a compressed skull fracture; my scar is huge although it's covered by hair now.

As a bit older of a kid, I wanted to be a paleontologist.

Now, I want to go into either art or veterinary medicine.

[Florida Fencer]

I grew up in Wisconsin.

I have lived in 6 different states.

I believe that I am the only staight white male consevative to have graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Theatre and Drama.

[Lady Quindecim]

1) I have panned for gold... for the fun of it... and found nothing.
2) I have never made a snowman.
3) I would rather be behind the lens than in front of it, but I have been on both sides.

[parrythis]

1. As a teenager I sprained my ankle while climbing over the fence to retrieve a frisbee. The story I gave my parents was, "I sprained it playing frisbee."

2. Back in the '70s I took photos of Songwriter/Singer Paul Williams flipping his Toyota race car through the air at Watkins Glen. I have to send him copies someday.

3. I met my wife (of nearly 25 years, now) in college when I was chasing her BFF. She was at a college mixer with her boyfriend but was pissed off at him for some reason. As I was sitting at their table drinking a beer I found her tongue in my ear. We dated for a while and broke up. She got married, then divorced, then married again. I took pictures at her second wedding and at the end of the reception told her, "Next time you're available, give me a call." She got divorced again and gave me a call. The rest is history.

That's a really cool story

1.I never graduated college although I went there for more then 5 years.
2.I've got a better job then most people who did graduate.
3.I've learned more from my job in 1 year then I did in 5 and 1/2 years of college

[Disturbed]

1. I really don't trust anything 'man made' like bridges/air planes/ski lifts.

2. I absolutely hate raw chocolate chip cookie dough.

3. I wish I was 'only' 6' 6" tall.

[Elendae]

2. I absolutely hate raw chocolate chip cookie dough.

You need to find someone who can bake properly.

[Disturbed]

Are you volunteering?

[Elendae]

Are you volunteering?

I have been told that I'm a good baker. I guess it depends on where you live. Cookie dough doesn't travel well.

[Disturbed]

I reside on the edge of Insanity but some people think I'm well within the city limits.

[Elendae]

Well, if you're ever touring the city, look me up.

[Lady Quindecim]

1) I'm not crazy. Right? [right...]

2) I like raw snickerdoodle dough

3) I did not make my bed this morning. (because I am washing my sheets. I'll make it this afternoon.)

[ladyofshalott99]

1. I dye my hair red, but I'm naturally a blonde.

2. At least one time a day I think about dropping everything, getting in my car, and driving across the country. Then I stop daydreaming and get back to work.

3. At least one time a day I wonder if I'll suffer my mother's fate.


Then again, I'm a writer by trade, and our types tend to be a bit over-dramatic.

[Lady Quindecim]

3. At least one time a day I wonder if I'll suffer my mother's fate.

If you don't mind, what was your mothers fate? (if you said, I can't remember)
(Worst fate my mom has had (to date) (that I know of) was having me.)

1) My hair has been lots of colours (to try and keep me from pulling it out)

2) I have this habit of pulling out my hair (even while I sleep)

3) By battery it dying.
