10 interesting trivial things you (probably) dont know about me

[night faerie]

This is a little vanity thread for us to tell each other about ourselves. Do Tell us about you too.

10 interesting trivial things you (probably) dont know about me:

1- I need background noise whenever I’m awake doing anything. Radio, TV, people, traffic, whatever it is, if it’s too quiet I have to turn something on.
2 - I can sleep anywhere under any conditions, unless I am having paranoid delusions that someone is trying to kill me. And that hasn’t happened in several years.
3 - I hate yellow
4 – I make my own fanciful magnets, with nail polish and little things like fake tattoos and fairy dust.
5 – Ants really really creep me out
6 – I cant drive without music.
7 – My biggest personal fear is probably fading into obscurity. That and alien abduction.
8 – I have never gotten a traffic ticket. I was pulled over once, but just for a broken headlight.
9 – I cant wear hats. They just look weird on me.
10 – When I was little & my mom would take me to 7-11 and tell me I could only get one thing, I’d narrow it down to two and not be able to decide. And she’d say only one, if you cant decide, you don’t get anything. And more often than not, I’d leave with nothing.

LOL this struck me as very defining of everything nightfairy. Its really sweet.

hmm ten things about me.

1- When I see a new place its like a drug. I get really happy, and have to soak it all in, even if it's just a street I haven't been down before.

2- I am only ever perfectly content when I am in a moving vehicle (be it plane, train or car) cos it's like time stops and you're freed from the world a bit. Or something.

3- I like to sit and think about the universe and love that feeling you get when you remember how small you are in the scheme of things. I know some people don't like it but I love it! Makes me feel dizzy

4- On that note when I was a little girl I used to spin and twirl all the time until I fell over from the dizziness. My mum decided to send me to ballet because of that. There I learnt to spin and twirl without falling over and getting dizzy, but it wasn't as much fun at all.

5- my mobile phone ring is ring 17, also known as "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" (if my memory serves me well) by Bach. I love this piece of music and having it as a mobile phone ring hasn't ruined it for me yet (phew).

6- In shops and stuff strangers often feel the need to tell me they wouldn't like to kiss me cos of my piercing. No one has any manners these days.

7- I tend to fold under pressure, my brain freezes up and I say things like "Oh dear, my mind seems to have gone blank" this happens alot in important meetings and interviews.

8- I love food and love sharing meals with poeple, especially if they cook

9- I prefer manual work to thinking work and hate society for telling me I have to be an independant career woman.

10- My favourite fictional character of all time is Cordelia from Buffy/Angel, and I think I'll name my first born daughter after her (if I should ever have one). If it bothers her she can tell people she was named after the one in King Lear *nods again*

(LOL I love this little guy)

[Anita Blake]

lol @ naming your daughter cordelia, wendy! but very cool.


10 things about me


1. i love the darkness, and seem all gothy sometimes, but actually, i'm a typical sun-worshipping Leo.

2. i named both my half- siblings, and my step-mom didn't want either of the names i chose (that eventually we used)

3. i have a bizarre fascination with the number 4.

4. it soemtimes bothers me that i have to explain to people that just because i eat veggie pizza, it doesn't mean i'm a vegetarian.

5. i used to wake up in the middle of the night to eat the marshmallows out of my Lucky Charms breakfast cereal.

6. i sometimes think i'm psychic/sensitive and then don't know if i am or if i'm just delusional.

7. i hope to be a cat in my next life.

8. i'm most content when i'm completely alone.

9. i'm prone to phases of interests. this has led to taking up a great many hobbies and getting tired of them, such as tarot cards, astrology, herbal healing, herbal cosmetics, henna tattoos, plaster casting, painting, drawing, sewing, writing, building stuff, organizing (yes, this is a hobby which i quickly grow tired of and forget to do ) not to mention the in-love-with-this-actor/movie/musician/album fads, which are too numerous and too many to list

10. i love my sheepskin slippers which keep my feet warm and comfy, but not too warm.

[dark fuschia]

Ohhh I have that same problem with vegetarian pizza! Its even worse when the person sneers about it, "Oh you're a vegetarian are you?" So that when I deny it, it looks like I'm lying just to escape their scorn!

[Anita Blake]

yeah, i hate how people always say "vegetarian" like it's some kind of terminal disease. just because i don't like greasy pepperoni, it doesn't mean i'm a plague upon this earth. i mean, i love meat, but you don't need to eat meat in EVERY bite you ingest.

hehe. oh and NF, i can't wear hats either. *shudders* hats are definitely meant for other people.

you don't! i think the beef industry has been deceiving all of us.

actually, i know what you all mean, i just happen to enjoy spicy black bean veggie burgers (seriously, they're really really good) but since i do i've somehow been contaminated, or brainwashed or something into that "evil" vegetarianism. ~sigh~

oh, never eat veggie bacon. ~shudders uncontrollably~ it's like eating painted cardboard. oh, and someone has pissed all over the cardboard.

I'm not sure if I can think of ten things or not...I'm not that interesting and I'm pretty well WYSIWYG

10. I have a compulsion to close drawers, doors, cabinets, etc.

9. Bugs that are actually likely to sting me (bees and wasps) don't bother me as much as beetles, millipedes, etc. The worst, I think, is the praying mantis. ~shudders~

8. I'm right side dominate. Right footed, right handed, and SEVERLY right eye dominate.

7. I had pop-bottle glasses until LASIK eye surgery a few years ago. Now I have 'normal' type glasses.

6. I worked long and hard to stamp out the name I went by as a child. About the only person I've not truly converted is my oldest friend.

5. Lobster is about the most horrifying thing I've ever seen (in person) a person eat. Sea-roach? No thank you.

4. I have a serious aversion to Chinese food. I was scarred for life by my sisters attempt at cooking it as a child.

3. I don't, as a rule, keep memerobilia or keepsakes. I think I have one box of class yearbooks and a handful of photos. Thats it.

2. My favorite thing about Xmas is the annual wrapping paper ball fights. Started by yours truly

1. Hmm...I'm definately running out of things. So, I'll leave you with one that a lot of people wouldn't consider trivial, but it is in many ways to me. I have never been 'in love'. I have several people that I do love, and care for more than anything else. But this mysterious other thing eludes me.

How's that? ~shrugs~

WYSIWYG...?

why you stupid imbecile with your gun
wacky yodeler see i warned you gimp.
warped yuppy simpletons in white yeti garb.
weird yellow somethings in war yell god.

~shrug~

anyway, i'll do this one at a time, because i'm lazy, and i don't want to think up more right now.

10. My favorite piece of clothing is the tie. I have probably about 50 assorted ties that i'll wear for any occasion. In high school i wore a tie daily for a while, but i've kind of drifted away from that. Now, if you see me in a tie, it probably just means i'm in a great mood.

wow this thread is getting more and more interesting. Somehow the tie thing fits with my image of archely...

oooh and i agree that there is something seriously wrong about preying mantises. I'd rather face a spider any day. Not that I'm asking for a spider either *touch wood*

[sir archely]

um....i've got a really good one for #1...but until then...

9. i'm sure people get a little of this through, but....i'm a complete bibliophile. i won't through books away...ever...(if you've thrown a book away, i'm going to come for you...very soon) and i'm sure that without a little willpower i'd be spending every dime i had on books. well, i'd have to have a dime first but...anyway...i'm usually reading at least 2 or 3 books, and my room is quite cluttered from all of them. Free book give aways are a dream come true. On that note, if you're going to throw a book away, don't! send it to me instead. (i'm quite excited right now, as my class just started, and i have a legit excuse to buy more books)

8. here's a pic of my favorite car. if i have to own a car, i'd like it to be this one, but i'd rather not have to. it's an excalibur phaeton. That's right, it even has a damn cool name. you can't see it, but the hood ornament is a tiny sword in a circle. i can't decide which is better, black or white.

01. i'm french

02. i was a vegan for 4 years. not because i'm really pro animal rights or anything, just because it seemed like something interesting to do. it was good - i discovered a lot of excellent alternative foods i still eat today.

03. i'm completely chilled out in person and my reactions are generally mild but when it comes to my thought process i'm a complete neurotic; my brain is always jumbled/stressed/racing a hundred miles a second.

04. i can sleep for 13-16 hours with no problems. i do this on average of 2 times a week.

05. i have had a complete and utter obsession with the second world war since i was eight. it's the only specific (i mean, books and music are general) interest i've maintained for such a long period of time. i devour information on the subject.

06. i've seen the great escape 52 times since i was 6. that's 156 hours of my life spent watching the film.

07. i drink more bottled water in a week than an average person does in a lifetime. i can't drink water from the tap, i know the river it comes from ::shudder::

08. i can cook any sort of pasta better than your italian grandmother. honestly, i'm that good at it.

09. with various friends, i have attended services at muslim, catholic, jewish, presbyterian, mormon and hindu places of worship. i'm curious like that.

10. poland bothers me. god, it's useless.

my fear of millipedes is unsurpassed....always lurking in evil, dark, damp places.

WHHHAAAAATT?!!!! are those real? ick. that's a whole new fear right there. ick. bleh. no no nno. though millipedes aren't high on my least of feared insects, prolly 'cause i don't see that many of them. but they are definitley icky.

7. i have a fake tooth. a molar, it's basically suspended between two other teeth. i have to floss under it. this is is because i'm genetically defective, and was missing the adult tooth. my baby tooth fused to my jaw bone (i can't remember, but they called it something specific) and i had a very fun trip to the dentist in which he basically used a hammer and chisel to chip my tooth out of there. Not pleasant to see pieces of tooth flying out of your mouth.

6. i play trumpet, and piano, can find my way around a saxophone, tuba and trombone, and i'm a fair player of the jaw harp. at some point in my life, i'd like to learn bass and the french horn.

5. i love plants and trees, but i seem to have the touch of death when it comes to them, killing any that come under my care. the only success i had was transplanting a tree from my parent's front lawn to the back lawn, and it's probably because all i did was dig a hole, put it in, and leave it alone. (my sister gave me a wandering jew for xmas, and it's miraculously still hanging on...i'm not sure quite how. however, i do know that it's in better shape after i leave for a week, with the blinds drawn and having no water, than when i'm here.)
