<ol type="1">[*] I have a very high regard for the concepts of personal honour, dignity, courtesy, and respect for others. (I've frequently been told that I was born in the wrong century.)
[*] I honestly believe that to refer to someone as a "Lady" or "Gentleman" is among the highest of honours, and so I use the terms very sparingly. [*]I study karate and kendo -- more for the philosophical underpinnings than for the self-defense aspects. [*]To me, a perfect day is one that is spent hiking alone in the woods. [*]When they meet me, people more or less invariably describe me as quiet, introspective, intelligent, very polite, and very serious. (I've been told that I'd have made an excellent Buddhist Monk.) [*]An excellent way to spend an evening is out in the middle of nowhere, gazing up at the stars. [*]I love all animals, but frogs and snakes are among my favorites. I catch rattlesnakes with my bare hands, and have never been bitten. [*]I've spent hours watching a spider build its web. [*]I love foggy days. Must be my Scottish blood. [*]Once, when I was out walking, a truck stopped next to me; the driver pointed a gun at me and told me that he was going to kill me. I was carrying a hunting knife at the time, and decided that my best hope was to rush him and attempt to stab him in the throat. I got the knife into my hand without him noticing, and was about to make my move when he suddenly stomped on the gas and drove away.[/list=a] [ November 11, 2002: Message edited by: The Lone Ranger ]</p> |

1. I didn't read this whole thread because it's too damn big.
2. I just skimmed looking for the people that I find interesting or things that stood out. 3. I am 31 years old but I don't feel like it, and I wonder whether people ever actually feel their age, whatever that would mean. 4. Sometimes I look at my cat and I can't believe how much I love her, even though she's a complete little shit. 5. My right leg almost always falls asleep when I am on the computer, because of sitting crossed legged. 6. I have trouble making friends. 7. My boyfriend is a Star Wars geek and it makes me love him all the more. 8. When I was growing up, I dreamed of traveling the globe as a photographer for National Geographic. But then I was too insecure in my talents to follow through and go to art school. 9. I recently joined eDiets because of a special offer where they would give me $27 to the Community Chest of my ezboard if I signed up and I needed the funds to keep my Gold status, and it seemed like a good way to motivate myself and lose some weight because I'm tired of being chubby and having thighs 3 sizes bigger than my waist. 10. I love Twin Peaks. 11. I had to edit my post because I somehow missed the al- part of always. [ November 11, 2002: Message edited by: oriecat ]</p> |

1) I am generally unmotivated. I have to really want to do something before I do it.
2) I am a cat person. 3) I had a 39" vertical leap when I was 19. 4) I was briefly recruited by one of the New York State universities (never can remember which one) for volleyball. 5) I have had three knee surgeries (one major, two minor) and a shoulder surgery (minor). 6) When I was 13, I had an autoimmune disorder that caused the platelet level in my bloodstream to drop by 90%. I still don't know the name of it. 7) I have a 7-year-old daughter that almost no one knows about. She lives in town with her mother and her step-dad; I haven't seen her in 3 years. 8) I like building computers and working with hardware but software drives me fairly nuts. 9) I have been somehow involved with both abortion-doctor-murder trials in Pensacola. 10) My favorite pro sports teams are: Dodgers, Celtics, Cowboys. Not coincidentally, they are also my father's favorites. |

However, i do public speaking and am pretty damn good at it. <i have a lot of ideosyncracies> 8) I dream about 80% of the time <stops when im stressed>, and 90% of the time in my dreams i end up dying.
