Home.

[shadesong]

Left work at 2:30. Went to pick kid up. Bumped into her friend's dad, who invited her over to play. Great. So came home, changed to play clothes, go her over there. Now we're back. An hour after I left work.

I'm going to go lie down now, but first...a question! And yes, this one's a rerun:

Something you probably don't know about me: I collect Buddha statues. I have them in brass, jade, cinnabar, and faux-ivory.

Tell me something - anything - that I don't know about you.

And now I'm resting.

I'm obsessed with dragons.. I collect anything with dragons.. shirts, statues, decorations, shoes, anything. To those who know me, a shirt that has a dragon on it is known as a "Dustin Shirt"

Very impressive, what's it of?

I have a bachelors degree in CS (probably not a suprise), but my minor is in Religious Studies.

I collect bad movies, and have a little Ultraman Budda that if I could ever find a duplicate of i'd make sure you had one too

[snowelf.livejournal.com]

Well, what I collect is turtles. I have a collection of turtle pins in various sizes and shapes.

I am figity. I need to be doing something with my hands constantly, which usually means I take my rings on and off constantly (or spin them), tap on a surface, or bite my nails.

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

Oh! I do that too. I wear my rings out by doing that. And I drop them. And I was so freaked out when someone (hot) figured out that I fidget more when I'm nervous. He was like, "That's why you were playing with your hair earlier." And being as I'm not your wife, I wasn't able to say, "Heck yes, you're too hot, you make me nervous as anything."

I once got hate mail from Mary Daly, renowned radical lesbian feminist theologian, for the sin of writing her and asking if she had any "words" that meant, "Good Man."

*hee hee hee*

[branwynelf.livejournal.com]

That was very wicked of you. I love it!

[edie22.livejournal.com]

You know everything about me. this is demonstrated by the highest score on my friend's test, even over my husband. The only one you got wrong, wasn't really wrong. It was the sibling question. How many siblings do I have? answer = 5. You got 7 points for a brother. I have a half sister, a half brother, Donnie, whom you know and 2 step brothers.

My half sister also has 3 kids, and the daughter has at least one kid. And my half brother has 3 kids with at least one of them having a kid. I don't think any of my nieces or nephews are over 18.

But you already knew my family was full of freaks.

Yeah, I was totally amused that I outscored Howard. Dude! What did he get wrong?

My oldest son is the love child of an illicit union between myself and God.

I was an Eagle Scout...

[m0usegrrl.livejournal.com]

i scored 93 out of 100 rounds when i qualified on the M-16 rifle, a requirement before i could be assigned overseas -- just a few shy of Marksman status. it was my very first time firing a weapon of any kind, too. =)

O.O

I am a musical soul...music is always on (for real or in my head), I play piano, drums, guitar, clarinet, sing, and write songs.

There's a feral bunny living in my backyard.

There's one in our front yard. :)

A dragonfly landed on my face when I was sitting in the chokecherry tree that my father planted for me on the day I was born.

I collect refridgerator magnets from places I have been, or places where my family is or has travelled.

HHHHMMM let's see... I've had unsafe sex and been lucky enough to not have gotten HIV.

I've been stupid and spent into rent money when I knew better.

I've eaten out of dumpsters and lost my mind at one time.

I tried to commit suicide the first time at 11.

I've been in love with someone who I never met.

I've been gay bashed 3 times.

I am scared of gay guys who are larger than I or more physically intimidating than I am because when I was 19 I met a guy on line who played on my idiocy and brought me on a trip to see him where he beat me and locked me in his apartment.

I have never broken a bone.

That should do it for now. *waves* *trots off to next interesting question*é

Okay. Those first four describe me as well. We're spookily alike! *hugs*

When I moved to the United States in 1980 I was bilingual English/French.

My first real word was "Fish". I have a stained glass fish my mother pointed at and said "fish" when I was learning to talk.

baking and decorating cakes

[astrophysicat.livejournal.com]

I love to bake things. For a while I was on a cake decorating binge, the more eloborate the better. I made a "Cool for Cats" (squeeze) cake for podling's birthday before I even really knew her. The best was Ben's though. I asked him what he wanted, and he said, in jest, "a colorblind test". (He's red-green colorblind) I took it as a challenge. He didn't believe me that I could do it. But I made three darkness levels each of pink and green, such that the strength of the colors in the three shades matched. And then in dots of various sizes I wrote two messages, in dark versus light "Happy Birthday" and in red versus green "Trust the Psi Core" (my atrocious spelling strikes again). I put a splattering of extra dots around the cake, but had already been at it for >2 hours, so eventually had to give up on the covering the entire sheet cake in 1 mm dots plan. But the two messages were right smack on top of each other. "Normal" people had great difficulty finding "happy birthday". But I didn't tell anyone that there were two messages (except Ed.. and Jay... (ok so I have difficulty keeping surprises to myself)) .

So Ben comes in, and scoffs "oh I can read that, that's easy." Ed goes, "what does it say, Ben?", "happy birthday" in an entirely condescending tone. Everyone lost it, especially those who hadn't been able to see the dark/light message. He was just like, what? what? Ed "it says trust the psi corps, Ben" "yeah, right, whatever, cute guys" Phil- "no really, she misspelled corps, like apple core". Ben "that's Cara alright, wow." He was duly impressed. Still thought I was a whacko, or rather, now had further confirmation of this, but was appropriately gratious in admitting my cake decorating prowess.

That is the coolest thing I've read all week.

[kenakari.livejournal.com]

I'm obsessed with wolves, collecting stories/myths/legends from around the world, and I used to play guitar pan in school. :)

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

What's a guitar pan?

My mother's aunt left me (I have no idea why) the world's ugliest Art Deco necklace. It's platinum with little diamonds. It's worth a freaking (to me) fortune, esp for something that ugly. When I have my own place, or I'm at least some place I plan to stay, I will sell the necklace and buy a horse.

I met Kathie Lee Gifford and had my picture taken with her ~~she was very pleasant to talk to and I found her to be misunderstod alot~~

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

umm...hmm...ok. My right arm and chest are covered with scars because a few years ago I was very stupid and tried to start a fire with a mixture of gasoline and oil. I'm told the explosion was quite impressive.

On the off-chance that you knew that:

I collect faerie statues. And cats, and unicorns.

Both of my grandmothers were born out of wedlock and raised by their grandmothers.

My Confirmation name is Irenaea, after a nun who died when I was a freshman in high school, and the other nuns were so touched they gave me her cross. Of course, I was soon to become pagan and already knew I was doing the Confirmation to make the parents happy and to get the presents.

The first rock album I ever bought for myself was AC/DC Back in Black.

[gwynraven.livejournal.com]

My confirmation name was Genevieve. I knew I was pagan when I did my confirmaton too. It was entirely to make the parents happy because I wasn't ready to tell them about my religious preferences yet, and couldn't come up with another excuse to get out of it. I've felt guilty about that my whole life.
