Being the 101th poster is the coolest thing to be!!!

The 80's is the only real genre of music that drives me wild!

I have a few embarassing music personalities from today's collection of popstars, I feel bad, but at least they REALLY KNOW how to sing!

I don't like cucumbers with the skin on. Or apples. or Carrots.

I earned a private pilot's license before I had an automobile driver's license.

I was in a hotel fire in Reno in the 1980s.

I've been interviewed on local TV several times in the last week.

In my job I've briefed Senators, Congressmen, Governors, a cabinet secretary, flag rank military officers and had dinner in the room as the President of the U.S.

I got a few more...

I'm a whore for a smore (tell me what show that's from and you get bonus points); if you offer me free smores I'll do almost anything to get them...

I've sat next to people on trains and busses just because they smell like spearmint.

I've tried to commit suicide before...using seafood...

My pet iguana is a foot and a half longer than I am tall...

My parrot knows more Hawai`ian than I do...

I've been told on numerous occasions that my homemade cinnamon rolls put Cinnabon to shame.

Mmmmm! Cinnamon rolls.

I like to bake, but not cook.

In high school, I was a pom pom girl and played a stripper in the play "Guys and Dolls."

Though not a lesbian, I really like Kate Beckinsale's ass. Where do I get on like that?

I love Taco Bell ... even though it is terrible for me[/quote]

and even more about me:

1. I've been interviewed by all the major newspapers in China, interesting.

2. My dad told me all about his experiences of living in a gay commune.

3. My mother was told I was probably gay by her lesbian friends, before I told her I liked boys. I was still at school at the time. She was so happy for me! (I have no real idea why).

4. I was a gifted child.

5. My mother's family lived in a refugee camp for two years during WWII.

6. I met the guy who was my best friend from school in a gay bathhouse a few years ago, but his twin brother, who I had sex with at school, turned out to be "straight".

7. Both of my parents, as well as myself, are Librans.

8. Some of my staff call me the "iron butterfly". I just found out today.

9. My god-daughter is a dog with behavioural problems, I really love her.

10. Truman Capote is one of my favourite authors.

11. I have recently bought 12 pairs of socks just because I like the guy in the shop. I admit I do find it easier to buy more clothes than do washing.

12. I often have 4 meals each day, one is always entirely fruit: bananas, kiwis, apple, oranges (my favourites); just because I love the flavours. No matter how much I eat, I don't put on weight.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm a little psychic.

Back in Grade Three, we had a spelling quiz ... and I swear, as the teacher looked down at her word list for the next word, I 'got' each word before she said it. (I remember feeling like I was in a trance.)

Once, when I was working in a grocery store, I found a customer rubbing her forehead and complaining she couldn't remember what she came in for. I suddenly had the certainty that she wanted spray starch, and said so. She was astonished for a moment, then said, "Yup, that's what I came for," and that was what she bought.

I was once visiting friends when the size of our wardrobes came up. He said he had quite a few shirts, but he didn't feel he had too many. I thought for a minute, and said, "You have 36 shirts." He looked at me like I was nuts, but when we counted, he indeed had 36 shirts.

Lots of times I answer questions that people have been just at the point of asking. (And I mean, questions more or less unrelated to what's been in the discussion.)

I once even (temporarily) lost a friendship because someone found my mind too invasive.

There are other examples.

I know this sounds weird. Whatever was going on only happened occasionally and doesn't seem to happen any more.

Would you like to try again? Please send me a personal message with the 5 winning numbers and the mega number for the California Super Lotto on Saturday August 12,2006, it will be $35,000,000 and I would be happy to share it with you.

Let's see, where to begin...


I can add columns of numbers in my head without a calculator...and do it faster than the calculator.

I was born in an Allied Moving truck with the help of a police officer and a couple of petrified movers


In the 8th grade I had the highest grade on the standardized math test for the entire state (New York) but my SAT scores a few years later in math were in the low 500s

I have a double toenail on the middle toe of my right foot

Hmm, let's see..

I was born on the 13th, and it was a Friday, at 1pm - yes, that's 1300hrs.. so far I haven't found the '666' anywhere :biggrin1: ..

I have 3 dots on my penis that never get any color when I am sunbathing nude through the summer.. but my friend says she loves them :tongue: ..

I've been on the cover of 2 magazines.. OK, they weren't exactly best-sellers but it's a claim to fame, lol..

There is a book in print that was written by another friend that has a dedication to me inside.. he made me feel so special..

I'm allergic to shellfish, have a phobia about injections, pass-out very easily and am terrified of throwing up if I'm sick..

G:cool:

My great-great-great-great grandfather was a polygamous Mormon.

When I was in the eighth grade my best friend moved away from our tiny Western town. I only say him again one time: We met by chance in the middle of the Ginza in Tokyo.

I have an unusually large heard (not grotesque, but too large for most hat shops). While I am 6' tall, I have only a 32" inseam (most men who are 6' tall have closer to a 36" inseam). I have a bump on my skull just above my spinal column (known as an occipital bun).

In my Physical Anthropology courses in college, I learned that these were characteristics of Neanderthals, not Cro-Magnons. As my parents' ancestors lived in the same regions where Neanderthals lived, I assumed that I won a genetic lottery where some long-dead traits surfaced (not unlike the black woman who was born to white parents in South Africa back in the 50s who had to go to court to be declared white so she could go to school in her neighborhood; it was determined that both parents had black ancestors from several generations previous).

A few years back, I read that the current scientific conclusion is that Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal never cross-bred (although there is a skeleton of an infant which has some scientists re-evaluating that conclusion). Every once in a while, I think of presenting myself to an Anthropology department for "discovery".

I'm really attracted to short men, especially nerdy bespecled types.

I usually read a book a day. So did my mom, up until her stroke at age 75.

I died once, about 20 years ago. While I was clinically dead I "dreamt" that I was a child again. I was about 7 or 8, had just woken up, it was Saturday morning, summer vacation, and my mom was calling me down to breakfast. I was in the bedroom I had as a child and I remember thinking, "wow, I just dreamt that I was 20." Apparently, when I was revived, I kept murmering "Life is only a dream, Life is only a dream."

Well, heck, I'll add to the fun

I'm a published author, poet, and photographer (and working on my 3rd novel)

I've been struck by lightning twice (It hurts)

I've been clinically dead a number of times, but don't really remember anything special, except that I was aware of my surroundings, but unable to move, speak or blink. and I still felt pain.

I love redheads, they are almost invariably less fond of me.

Hmmm---what to share....
When I was in the womb, the AEC site in Idaho was dumping low level nuclear waste directly into the Snake River aquifer, where the region gets its drinking water...

I sent in a circuit I designed to a national electronics publication as a lark, and it was published. It has since been republished in at least 30 different electronics books I have happened across, and a friend I made many years later he told me he had used it to great sucess.

There were only two really serious career I ever wanted----one was to be an electrical engineer, and the other was to be an actor. I wasn't pretty enough to get into acting on my looks, and reasonable talent, nor talented enough to compensate for my looks. I became an engineer.

I nearly flunked the first grade. I was reading the newspaper before kindergarden, but had a great deal of trouble in school. When I came near failing, the school administered a series of tests, including an IQ test. As I recall, I scored 160 (not that those tests really mean a hell of a lot). Upon further investigation, they discovered my teacher hated me for some reason--it was never cleared up why---and not only badgered me, but encouraged the class to pick on me also. This was reported to me later in life, not my personal rememberence. I was passed on to second grade, but the damage had been done enough that it wasn;t until the 8th grade I made any real effort to do well in school again. I graduated high school with minor honors. I still suffer from an almost phobic level of test anxiety, which has really hurt me in acedemincs, but I have learned to get past it. The teacher in question not many years after was hospitalized for a minor psychosis--I have forgotten the exact clinical term, and I really don't care anymore, either.

I auditioned for, and won the part in a tv commercial for the United Way in a national campaign, when I was in the eighth grade, and apparently did very well. I have never seen it. It was fun to do.

Guess that's enough about me for now.:eek:

Oh, and I'm allergic to watermelon, it's my only allergy
And I'm allergic to bee stings. Hence my clinical death as referenced above.

By the way, how is it that you've died a number of times? I don't mean to pry but that sound ..uh... unusual.

The better question might be how Haven't I been dead before...

I've had 3 heart attacks I can acount for (possibly 1 or 2 others, but I'm not sure) all due to complications with berylium poisoning. those three each left me "dead" on the table in an E.R.

I was drowned once, in ice cold water, and was "dead" for minutes (no-one's sure exactly how long) before they revived me.

I was working as an alternative energy specialist, we where experimenting with high voltage generators for houshold use, and I was once zapped with 600 volts DC at 30 amps, and lay twitching without a pulse on the ground, revived by the home-owner (who happened to be an emergency room doc)

eh, yeah, there are a couple others too, but I think these are the only one's I'll recount right now....

I'll just say that my life has been quite full for a person my age, or any age really...

I have moved/relocated twenty six times in my lifetime and I'm 39.
Growing up I attended eight different schools befor graduating.
I've owned seven homes including my current residence.
I've held about thirteen jobs and owned and operated 3 businesses.
I used to work for the U.S.P.S.
My highest annual income has only been about 25,000
I went from living on a farm to working at the largest G/L entertainment complex in the midwest.
While growing up I lived on a lake next to my grandparents where Grandma and I would take walks looking for aggets.
I was a premature "RH factor baby" and had a complete blood transfusion after birth.
My Maternal Grandmother took the drug doctors were handing out as a "vitamin" in the late 1940s known as "DES" Diethylstilbestrol. I began experimenting with drugs and alcohol at age 14 and soon thereafter indulged myself until the age of 23 when I stopped completely. I've had the same partner for almost 17 yrs.
