Original quote by Amie: "I adore Beethoven's symphony #9 I can not get enough of that, I feel it is one of the greatest things ever created... "

That pretty much summs up what I think of Mozarts Requiem, particularly the "Lacrimossa", but then of course! Ties right into my issues of loss and abandonment <img src="graemlins/boohoo.gif" border="0" alt="[Boo Hoo]" />

I can do the "eyebrow" thing with great skill.

3. I'm short, busty and blonde
7. My ex-husband left me after 11 years for a man.
1. I'm a mother of two gorgeous smart sweet kids.
2. I get paid to write for a living.
6. My all time favorite group is Fleetwood Mac.
4. I'm a strong atheist and raise my kids to think for themselves.
5. I love dark chocolate, cabernets, brown beer and always fall for the wrong guy.
8. Items I always have on hand in my kitchen: extra virgin olive oil, pickles and lime popsicles.
9. I can't sing, nor keep a beat.
10. You tell me...

Aime,

Are you a Christian? If so, what "brand"?

rbochnermd,

Quote:

Any suggestions?

"Ricknerd"? (Just kidding.) "Drick"? (A combination of "Dr" and "Rick" [too weird, though, I'd say...and besides, it might be thought of as a combination of "Dr" and "ick"].) "RockDoc"? (Don't know how that would fit, exactly.) "AtheDoc"? "DrOfDoubt"? "PhysicianOfFreeThought"? "ARichDr" (or "A-Rich-Dr")? (This one's pretty cool, in my opinion - it's an anagram of "Richard", and can mean either "A rich doctor", or "A 'Rich[ard]' doctor".) "I,Doctor"? (Are you an optometrist, or an eye doctor?) "EvolvingDoors"?

In Christ,

Douglas

Can any of you guys raise one eyebrow without the other going up? I just think that looks so cool and I admit I practice doing that by holding one eye brow down, but still I am unable to...

I can't do that but I can make the Vulcan sign with my fingers and say "Live long and prosper." Arrowman do you have a picture of your ears?

Virginia Slims, extra light.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

1. I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention.

2. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.
I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes.

3. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.
Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries.

4. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after work, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

5. I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail.

6. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer, I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400.

7. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.
I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket.

8. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery.

9. The laws of physics do not apply to me.
I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago, I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven.

10. I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

Okayyyyy, so maybe it's not all true.

Dark Jedi · 11-10-2002, 09:14 PM

1. I am the quentissential Geek.

2. I will eat almost any food except cabbage.

3. I saved my marriage by divorcing my wife.

4. I am anti-social in that I very much prefer to be alone.

5. Ironically, I am also an extrovert and a comedian when I am around people.

6. I can't stand to no know how things work. Everything I own has been taken apart to some degree or another.

7. I have developed, out of necessity, the knack of putting things back together properly no matter how hopelessly strewn about it might be.

8. I type over 75 words per minute, but must look at my keyboard to do it. I do not actually see the keyboard, my eyes are out of focus when I do so.

9. I hate checks and cash. I very much prefer to use a debit card for any transactions.

10. I understand computers on a binary/electronic level. It is almost intuitive, and I understand them better than anything else I have ever done.

2. My penis is prehensile.

3. I used to be a woman.

7. I masterbate to Teletubbies.

8. Monkeybot and I once had a torrid love affair that only ended when I realized it was actually MadMordigan.

9. When a black cat crosses my path, bad luck happens to a guy named Larry Tortinski who lives in Cincinnati, Ohio.

10. I can hyper-extend my elbows and knees, dislocate my hips and shoulders, and curl up into a ball that floats on water and that gets around using flatulence.
