116 things (and growing!) the average person might not know about me... The third fastest way to get on my trash list is to attack one of my friends, either by insult or some other act that hurts them. The second fastest way is to act egotistical around me.  If you have to brag about yourself or put other people down to justify yourself then it doesn't speak well for the talent you're  bragging since it can't even speak for itself. The fastest way is to play pity trips around me.  People who sigh melodramatically, complain excessively, and try to drag other people down when they're in a bad mood.  If your life sucks so much, shut up and do something about it. I am missing a tooth.  Apparently I  had a baby tooth with no adult tooth underneath it.  I had to have the baby tooth yanked and now there's a gap.  You can't really notice it unless I show it to you though. I used to be a blonde.  I dyed it back to its natural color and now keep a slight red tint to it. If I like you, I'll feed you.  If I've ever bought you a dinner it means I'd trust you with my life. If I don't like you, I won't eat anything you give me.  It's probably some kind of instinct thing, but that's how my mind works. I believe that if you try hard enough you can find an excuse to justify anything.  Therefore people who spend more time justifying themselves instead of actually doing the thing they're screaming  about are probably wrong, even if they can yell louder than anyone else. People who diss my religion piss me off. People who diss my religion and don't know a thing about it piss me off even more. I believe that a compliment paired with a criticism  is more honest than a compliment alone.  I say this because... ...I believe that people will lie to you to keep from hurting your feelings. I don't get along with 99.9% of the women in this world.  I don't like 90% of the women. Chicken is the best food in the world. For some reason I seem to attract lesbians.  I've gotten more propositions from women than many of my guy friends.  I don't look like a lesbian, I don't act like a lesbian, but lesbians seem to like me.  I think it's my 'maternal' aura or something. I have never managed to drink a full bottle of any alcoholic beverage in my life.  The closest I came to was a Zima. I wanted to get a nose ring once, I still kinda do but I'd probably look dorky. I like Cheech Wizard.  I dunno why... it's vulgar and disgusting but I like it. I think guys in black are  sexy.  (Especially my husband, who will eventually be wearing an all black uniform for work every day... ROWR!) People who rely on quoting the words of singers, writers, poets, or TV personalities to explain their believes probably also rely on those same people to choose their beliefs for them.  I don't believe in quoting things except for very very rare occasions. I believe that success is attained through hard work. People who do things to impress other people or to get attention are doing what they're doing for the wrong reasons. Everyone should learn to cook. You are not an 'adult' until you can take care of yourself. I have always been cooking.  One of my earliest childhood memories is of making scrambled eggs at the age of three in my parents' trailer. I am allergic to eggs. I have moved over thirty times in my life. I have a psychic link to at least three people.  I can tell what they're feeling and sometimes they know what I'm thinking.  I have projected jokes into people's heads. There is no specific type of music I like.  I  listen to Christian, ska, country, new age, pop, rock, metal... whatever.  From Rob Zombie to Enya. I have never had to have surgery. I have never broken a bone or badly maimed myself in any way. I hate Star Trek. I REALLY hate Voyager. I think people who complain about the quality of something they get for free should shut the hell up. If someone says they can do something better than someone, I believe they should put up or shut up and show me what they've got. I do not consider pigeons to be birds.  they are rats with wings. I used to have a pet iguana.  When I came to Florida it got mean and I sold it for $50. Sometimes I think I'm mildly schitzophrenic.  My mom is, and I catch myself talking to myself or  'blacking out' from time to time, but I'm still in control of myself and my husband helps me keep it in check.  In another 10-15 years I might have to start taking medication for it though to keep it from turning me into a psychobitch. For a living, I have been an apartment cleaner, a Legal Assistant, a graphic artist (I designed a video cover once!), a Customer service rep, a data entry clerk, a  receptionist, a web page designer, a night manager at a credit company, and now I'm a business assistant for Insurance adjusters.  I like my job, nobody gives me any guff and I don't have to wear a dress. I've been on the Internet since 1992 from when I used a UNIX forum called OKCFORUM in Oklahoma City, it cost $150 a year and all I had was raw telnet, ftp, and gopher.  No TinyFugue, no web. I was born in St. Peterburg FL, that means I'm a native Floridian, we are a rare breed. Sometimes I will surf the web for disgusting pictures just to see if I am still capable of being grossed out.  the worst picture I ever found was a guy on acid who cut off pieces of his face and fed them to his dog. My favorite color is green. I think 'Sammich' is a cool sounding word. I have my own language that my friends have dubbed 'Genspeak'.  It allows me to literally make incomprehensible noises at people and they're able to understand me.  The most famous of these words in Genspeak is 'Bar', which is a term used when someone has gotten the best of you or when you want to pretend you're annoyed and/or grumpy but you're really just trying to be silly.  Genspeak is contagious.  80% of the people I know use the term 'Bar' now, some consider it to be a great honor when someone says 'bar' at  them. My favorite type of animal are birds of prey, I think that Peregrine falcons are the most beautiful birds in the world. I believe that nobody should be allowed to get married until they're at least twenty five years old, you can take a test to see if you're prepared but otherwise you shouldn't be allowed to marry until  you're at least a quarter century. Once, a priest told me that something good for marriage would be a see-through apron.  My husband commented that he'd look like a dork if he wore it. I love burning incense.  Not that crap in a cone or on sticks, but REAL incense that you burn by lighting a coal and sprinkling resin on.  I use real frankincense made out of tree sap most of the time, but I also have some myrrh and rose incense as well. I think the sexiest part of my husband is his back.  He's very well muscled back there. Mt favorite actor is Sean Connery. I used to bite people, but only people I liked. When I was in high school I got into one fight.  I didn't get into any trouble for it because the kid provoked me and the whole school made fun of him for several weeks.  I was the school hero for a bit and the kid was nice to me afterwards.  It is then that I learned that there is no greater  humiliation for a guy than to get beaten up by a member of the opposite sex. I am not a 'girl', I am not a 'lady', I am a WOMAN.  Girls need people to take care of them, ladies preen and primp and gossip and make jokes about how they have their men wrapped around their pinkie fingers, WOMEN don;t need the help of anyone to do what needs to be done and can do without the braingames. I chew my fingernails. I do not consider someone an artist until they can create something with their hands without using any references or computer programs that do all the work for them. I wear my watch on my right wrist.  People keep telling me that it should  go on my left wrist but I've always worn it on the right. I am right handed. I have never felt my age.  I probably will always feel older than I really am until I turn thirty.  All my friends see me as being older than I really am as well. Sometimes  I get obsessed with things and fixate on it for a week or so.  Usually this has something to do with a video game. I only go shopping for clothes once a year.  I don't need to do more than that. My cat is freaking insane.  I don't know why. I give everyone one chance, even if I've heard nothing but trash about them.  Sometimes I find out that the person is really nice and I make a new friend, sometimes I find out that everything I heard was true and I never bother with the jerkwad again. People who talk about themselves constantly piss me off.  If you talk about art, they want to talk about their art, if you talk about computers they want to talk about their computers, if you talk about anything they'll try to steer themselves back into the center of the convo.  I really hate that. If someone does something to REALLY piss me off and are totally clueless about it I'll ask for an apology.  If they don't apologize or apologize lamely then they've graduated to my trash list. I believe that there is a difference in being sorry and apologizing.  I also believe that there is a difference between apologizing for the action that was done and apologizing because you got caught. I do not believe in apologizing just to make someone feel better when I've done nothing wrong.  If I'm asked to apologize then I'd better be given a good explanation as to why. I like to watch the sunrise off the ocean and watch the dolphins play in the waters. People who diss their friends or husbands/wives/boyfriends behind their backs piss me off.  Because... People who pretend to have respect for someone but really just use them to get stuff out of or to have someone to rag on to their real friends piss me off. If left unchecked, I could probably drink a whole case of Coca-Cola in one day. I really like bubble baths, but the only tub in the house is usually unavailable for me to indulge.  On my honeymoon we filled up our hot tub with bubble bath and played in the big foam iceberg. Yes, I'm goofy. I believe that someone who cannot laugh at themselves from time to time isn't really human and I will never trust them. Sometimes  I wonder if people are born into this world without a soul to serve as filler for the few people here who do. My favorite roleplay system is West End Games' SWRPG.  I feel this way because it is the only system I've ever used. People say I'm a good roleplayer and a fairly good GM.  I think this is cool because I've only been roleplaying for about two years and GMing for less than a year. I accidentally killed my pet hamster when I was six.  I still feel bad about it. I don't care about clothes, shoes, or the latest fads.  I don't care if the shirt I'm wearing is three years old or my jeans are two years old.  As long as my clothes  are clean and not ratty and my hair is brushed out I'm happy. I remember the first time my husband (he wasn't my husband at the time though) asked me for a kiss.  It was when I was about to go to sleep and he was tucking me in.  After I kissed him he held up his finger, smiling and said "Our first kiss".  Then he quietly walked off to his own bedroom (We were roomies at the time) I've had several boyfriends, but the man I married was the first man to ever buy me roses.  He stuffed rose petals in a valentine letter and sent them to me.  He still will come home with a single rose for me from time to time. I don't wear much jewelry.  If anyone were to buy me rings, earrings, or necklaces they'd  probably just collect dust all the time. My wedding band does not have any gemstones in it.  It is made up of a band of gold with a band of platinum on the outside of it.  It's exactly the ring I wanted. My wedding ring is too small to fit on my husband's pinkie finger.  His ring is too big to even fit my thumb. I have green eyes.  I think they're prettier than blue eyes because everyone has blue or brown eyes... nobody has green eyes.  I don;t know where they come from since my mother's eyes are gray and I think my father's eyes are brown. There is a certain type of clover that tastes good.  I used to eat it when I was in grade  school but I've never been able to find the plant again.  It had these tiny yellow blossoms and a dill like taste. I believe that it is a sign of a true roleplayer when you allow your character to die and don't have a tantrum or an angst-fest over it. I believe that there is no excuse for hurting someone's feeling  deliberately "just because you were in a bad mood".  All it does is show how much of a brat you really are. My legs should have been put in braces when I was a child, because they weren't I walk slightly funny and I have problems with my feet. I have an overbite. I have bought two pregnancy tests in my life.  they both came up negative. I do not get along well with people my own age or younger than me.  there are a few exceptions but most of my friends are all at least two years my senior. My husband was the man closest to my own age that I ever seriously dated.  the first boyfriend was almost ten years older than me, the second was six years.  My husband is three years older than I am. My husband was born one day after my sister was born.  It's the only way I'm able to remember his birthday. I think that declawing a cat is cruel.   If you're afraid of being clawed by a cat you should avoid cats and shouldn't get one for a pet to begin with.  If you disagree with me I have a nice big steak knife in my kitchen... you're welcome to come down and let me cut off a couple of your fingertips with it to show me how un-cruel doing it to a cat would be. Someone gave me a revolver for a wedding gift.  I need to use it one of these days. I don't like carrying around a purse.  I prefer keeping everything in my pockets. I hate high-heeled shoes.  I got married in flats. I think that anyone who hates someone so much that they'd be willing to destroy that person's life deserves to  be shot. I think that people who don't care deserve what they get. I think that people content to let others do their work for them also deserve what they get. I believe there is a difference between not hearing and not listening. I do not blindly listen to every word people tell me as the absolute truth, I go out and research the facts for myself.  Quite often I find that the story I was told had some interesting details left out or some facts misinterpreted. My best friends are the people who piss me off the most, but I still love each and every one of them and would  gladly give my life to help them. My relationship with my husband has many times been likened unto the relationship between Sam and Max. Once every 2-6 months I have a panic attack in the middle of the night and find myself screaming at the top of my lungs for a reason I can't remember.  I don't do it as much as I used to. The concept of organic technology fascinates me.  I really like bug ships and bug weapons and stuff. I sit on the ball of my right foot too much.  I have a callous there that goes numb from time to time. My persona character is almost twenty  years old, but I didn't start drawing her until about nine years ago.  Her current image wasn't established until about six years ago. I decided to draw Gen with a lion tail because of an overdue library book I have about trolls.  There was a picture of a troll using his tufted tailtip to pop another troll in the butt and I thought it was funny.  The book was due 10-30-86... I probably have a big  whopping fine. I believe it's okay to fight dirty if your opponent is bigger or stronger than you.  I will not hesitate to bite, claw, yank hair, or do whatever to win a fight. My eyesight is really bad.  I'll probably be blind before I'm thirty and require some kind of eye surgery. I have an extra keen sense of smell though. Most perfumes annoy me.  I dislike the smell of musk, vanilla, or any other deep perfumy smell. The perfume I wear smells like peaches, pears, apples, lemons, oranges, or some other fruit.
