> ....oh, did i mention i think too much and over analyze things? and i feel way too guilty about eveything i say and think and do.
---
<<<< Wow, what's that like? I would have no clue as to what it's like to be analytical and neurotic (HAAAAA! Need I clarify that that is a joke; to claim otherwise would be to add 'delusional' to the list as well, by default!)---
> and if you mean my evolution as in "philosophically" i'd say i've gotten a bit less crass, in that i've gotten to know the other posters more. i've become much more supportive. i used to ask question after question. now, i think i give as much as i take. i like to think i do anyway.>---
<<<<< Oh boy, takes little to trigger me to go hunting in the archives to capture the flavor of something I've seen referred to... Now I must go and find you in the early days to see examples of what you consider 'crass,' and get in touch with your transformation! I can of course see that you are a live-wire, and haven't lost that! A touch of 'crass' is always entertaining, maybe pasteurized but not altogether homogenized!---
> Staples or paper clips?
>> both actually, but i prefer paper clips ><<<<<< Oh, bummer, I don't know if we can work out this difference, no offense. I can't BELIEVE you can deal with the pages all slipping this way and that and surely not holding consistently in an organized fashion for any length of time. Please do not post to me anymore (har har!). ;- )
Here's your chance to redeem yourself: Do you ever use spring-loaded binder clips? And if so, is it important to you to pick a size that is well-suited to the number of pages you are binding; or can you roll with using a huge one to bind five pages or conversely, a tiny one jammed onto a thick document (HINT: In the latter scenario you will be opening yourself up to some of the same hazards as with the slippy-slidey paper clip choice)?
> Bun or pony tail?
>> pony tail, though i leave my hair down 99% of the time ><<<<< I do as well; however, the correct answer was "Ponytail sometimes, but I NEVER wear buns, ya freak!"
> Shave pits and then legs or legs and then pits?
>> arm pits first, as i get a cleaner shave ><<<<< Acceptable. But let's dig the below the surface and make this meaningful. Please be candid. Do you ever slip in a quick pass over the bikini line; or do you uphold the standard of professional waxing? Or somewhere in between? How does this impact the sharpness life of the blade? How often do you shave; do you shave all areas each time; and under this regime, how long does one razor last you?
Note that if my original question implied that I had jumped to conclusions and put you in the "razor blade" box rather respecting your right to use an electric razor instead, I apologize and hope you do not feel accused.
> Nightlight or darkness?
>> nightlight, and most always leave the hall light on if my old man isn't in bed before i go to bed ><<<<<< Interesting. Myself, being an insomniac who gave up the intentional pursuit of sleep long ago, I usually pass out from exhaustion at some point with all lights and possibly TV on. However, on the occasions I do shut down all electric light and noise sources upon retiring, my inclination is towards darkness, but each time the fear of The Creeps will pass through my mind. As in, when you are just drifting off to sleep and must have just started the descent into some nightmare, because you are suddenly jolted awake and feel kind of terrified, possibly over something/someone in the room if you have recently watched a scary movie.
Does this ever happen to you? Any recurring dreams/nightmares? Toss and turn or stay in one place? Back, side or stomach sleeper? Snore? Do you have an electric blanket; foam egg crate thingy on your mattress; white noise machine; what is your minimum preferred thread count?
> VHS or DVD?
>> DVD ><<<<< I recently got my first DVD player (combo w/ VHS) upon unexpected VCR demise. The salesman told me I would need an expensive adaptor due to my crummy, simple old TV, so I purchased one. Was not immediately apparent from the supporting documentation of either why it would be needed or how it would be hooked up. Nearing the end of the return/exchange period, I had still not attempted to hook it up or test the DVD function. Poured over the manuals, not getting it, nothing made sense, didn't want to open the hermetically sealed adaptor box under such circumstances. Then I tried another idea. Put in a DVD and pressed 'play.' And it did. No adaptor required.
> Oh, and my boobs are bigger than yours. ;- )
>> are you certain about that? ><<<<<<*ABSOLUTELY* not; tis not a likely assumption at all. I was sucking up to you, using your interest in this matter that I lifted from your first post here to Fallen4MyT. But perhaps you only wondered about HER chest, not mine. Alas, I'll get over it, having faith that these things take time and someday when you know me better you'll care about my chest too....
> funny, but i was wondering about your gender. i wasn't sure as to which you were and didn't want to be rude and ask. glad you brought that up, as it was just killing me. i'm curious about those things. what can i say? >
<<<<<< Oh, don't worry, ask away -- I'm never ever bothered by such questions. I have long lamented the boring and rather inadvisable means by which I hastily picked my name. I subsequently decided I would have liked a cute and meaningful name as a visual. Ya know how you see some and just like looking at them? (i.e. "Slinky," as you've said? I never did get to tell my slinky joke, ya know. Slinky the toy, not the person of course....)
So yes, I'm female. And here's a visual for you to go with and offset my standing, dry, boring nickname here: I've been told I look like several people, but over the last few years it's almost always Kim Catrall, Samantha on Sex & the City. When I am in full smile, I am almost a dead ringer, and strangers will come from across the room to tell me that. Younger, narrower face (me that is), but otherwise, very close.
Who do people tell you that you look like? I read your description in the "Breast Men" thread, and it was highly amusing, but somehow I suspect you were applying liberal exaggeration for comic relief.
One last thing -- I was so happy to read that you are not a health nut either. I used to work out a TON (a TON I tell you), but it was mainly so I could look better while I abused my health in every other way! Ok, bye for now! :- )
