Getting to know you . . .

[oneyedchicklet]

Double posts:
1. Morning ritual, get up, brush teeth, shower, pour coffee, log online.
2. I've always liked Theodore.

What is your nightly ritual?

HUGS
Barb

[ambercissism]

Shower, brush my teeth, take my Vit. B, put some lotion and sit ups.

How old are you?

[SithLordWiccan]

I turned 22 on the fourth.

Have you ever done something you later regretted?

[Auburn]

Yes

Are you addicted to anything?

[inlerf]

the net; dancing. i can easily become obsessed over something i'm interested in (eg crush).

What do you think is the most important invention in the history of mankind?

[db]

Language.

Ok it's broad - but it allows us to communicate. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

a hug or a handwritten heartfelt letter

[lea jane]

Both!





How many people are in long distance relationships!

[DelWhicker]

Never been. It just seems too complicated.


Do you read poetry?

[Thianne]

sometimes. i love pablo neruda.

Cup or glass?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

Glass


What is your favourite scented candle?

[DelWhicker]

Clean Cotton by Yankee Candle Co.


If you could play one sport really well, what would it be?

[FemaleOfTheSpecies]

(another Yankee Candle fan right here - presently burning Fresh Mint which is just divine!)

I'd love to excel at dancing - latin american - if you consider that to be a sport. If you don't, then I'd love also to be able to ice dance. I guess I'm just an expressive sort of person. If you mean something less expressive, then probably tennis.


What was the last book you read?

[Auburn]

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters

What is your favourite room in the house?

[SithLordWiccan]

My room.

How do you spend your weekends?

[Foomatic]

By doing a couple of things actually.

1. Take the dog out, either to the beach, or the park around the corner.
2. If we take him to the park around the corner, my partner and I bring our mitts, a bat, and a softball.
3. Have friends over, usually for food and drinks (I grill a mean tri-tip).
4. Catch up on all the stuff on the DVR while grubbing food from the local hole-in-the-wall Chinese place.
5. Boxing class Saturday morning, tennis Sunday afternoon.
6. Go out to eat.

We do at least 3 out of the 6 every weekend.

Tattoos: how many, where do you have them, what are they, and the meaning behind them.

[kisstheviolets]

i've got one tattoo, on my left shoulder blade. i got said tattoo when i was 22, with my mother (who also got a tattoo) at a place called ink freaks in hollywood. it's the scales of justice weighing an american flag and a rainbow triangle. i guess it kind of symbolizes my hope for equality in the future and a little bit of my conflict as a gay american. contrary to what most assume, it actually has nothing to do with my chosen profession, as i got it well before i considered law school.

tell us about a letter you wrote, but never sent.

[inlerf]

i wrote it just before i left for oz, to my closest friend. was rather heartfelt, bout times we spent together and how much i'll miss her; so when my favourite song ended and i re-read it, my rational mind kicked in and decided it was too mushy. ;P

Do you rip apart the envelope or carefully tear it open?

[dorksrcool]

I rip it open because I'm a dumbass and I don't really know how to open envelopes properly.

Do you like Mountain Dew?

[oneyedchicklet]

Nope, I'm strictly a Pepsi kind of soda girl. If I go to a resturant and they only have Coke, I'll drink water unless they serve fresh brewed iced tea.

What is your favorite cocktail to drink?

HUGS
Barb

[db]

I like a nice gin & tonic with lots of lime.

mmmm.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

[Kaia]

Um...I'm a little insecure sometimes. Not regularly, but still makes me doubt things I should be certain of.

Ok, here comes a shallow one.

What is the favorite part of your body?

[kindagay]

Favourite part of my own body? Strangely enough, it's actually my arms, but I couldn't tell you why.

Tell us about a childhood hobby that you wish you'd never given up.

Hugs
Jeanne

[Thianne]

i used to grate soap, when i was.....6, 7? i thought the it was way simpler to use if it was powder instad of a bar, so....i grated soap. it was very satisfying, so.....i'll start again, maybe....

what is your favourite song? and why?

[oneyedchicklet]

"I Believe In You and Me" by the 4 Tops.
I have loved this song since as far back as I can remember. My ex husband asked if I wanted to make our wedding song and I declined because if we ever got divorced (which we did) I couldn't handle hating the song.

Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?

HUGS
Barb

[Thianne]

nope. i sleep with a yellow pillow (sounds so wrong...), besides my own pillow. the few time i tried sleeping with a stuffed animal i kicked it out of bed.

What happened on the best day of your life? and the worst?

[Auburn]

On the best day I was probably traveling to Scotland with a group of people in a club I was a member of when I was about 12.

On the worst day, I woke up to the news that my best friend had been hit by a car.


How many numbers are in your mobile phone?

[PancakesinBellies]

33.

Regular or diet?

[Gatito Grande]

Diet (w/ aspertame, aka "Nutrasweet", if cold---Splenda is TOO sweet! Splenda's OK in coffee---hot coffee---though)

GG Made the switch from regular to diet almost 10 years ago---now, I can't drink regular anymore! Out

Paper or plastic? (Bags at the supermarket)

[Thianne]

plastic, they have handles

what's your mother's full name?

[kisstheviolets]

well, her maiden name was rita granados reyes. she's had a couple of different last names now, which i won't divulge here. i will say that her current last name is chinese.

do you have names chosen for children who aren't even a glimmer in someone's eye yet?
