I've gotten into day trading on the stock market. I spend a lot of time screaming "You f...ing bastard!" at the streaming quotes.

about me that might surprise you-

I do not own an iPod.... and probably never will. I don't enjoy having things inserted into my auditory canal.

Ear. that's better.

If you're gonna stick me, don't stick it in my ear




anyone else? while I am waiting on hubby to finish shaving..... and bathing....and dressing.... oh my

My ears are sensitive too, but I can tolerate iPod buds for a little while. Long enough to do my afternoon run.



I don't like grapes, olives, or food that squeaks against my teeth when I bite into them. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

**I should edit, that's not very surprising. I meant everything that squeaks against my teeth. My wife's strapon included.

I've got a little Betty Boop tat on my right hip. No one other than Amy (with the exception of the tat guy -whom she may have killed) has ever seen it. She's got a 'Blondie'' tat the same place (I may have to kill the tat guy if she didn't).

It never ceases to amaze me how important the little things are. I'd die before I'd let anyone see my tat. Amy would sooner flash her tits than show her tat (yeah, like THAT will ever happen ). It is something special between us and I value that conncetion ever so much.


Very cool thread NJ. Thanks.

summer phone
by Senna Jawa

your voice nests in my ear
the air's the summer's affair
soft waves of your voice oh dear
carry me through the summer air

you study with thunder
text after text a wide choice
but my snow white phone melts under
the summer melody of your voice

I used to run very fast, but injure easily, so I could never have gotten far in a career as a racer.

 

[sassynyc]

I am a nocturnal creature. I'd rather watch a sunset, than a sunrise, because it ushers in the night, my favorite time of day. I've little use for sunlight and could easily see living in Alaska during that 6 month period of perpetual night fall.

I didn't own a cell phone until last year, and only a handful of people have the number. I don't like the idea of being constantly accessible to everyone.
Feels like an electronic leash to me. Just my anti-social roots showing.


ETA: SB and NJ, I am a fellow Betty Boop Fanatic. The memorabilia has gotten way outta hand, but no tats.

I don't eat raspberries or watermelon, or eggs with any tomato product (ketchup and salsa included) on the same plate. Psychological reaction to awful experiences as a child.
Went picking raspberries as a kid once, and upset a hornet nest in the bush. Got stung about a zillion times, including close to both eyes. Won't go near a raspberrry. Still. Got food poisoning from a watermelon. Still get sick even seeing them. Same thing about eggs and tomatoes.

Also, I have a tattoo too (say that 10 times fast). It's a number on my forearm (61315). Like the Jews had in the concentration camps. Got it when I was in high school, to commemorate a relative.
And to never forget.

Is that the vampire in you?

I have a third 'eye' in the small of my back where I don't like being touched or poked. I can see/feel there if anyone is getting close or is looking at me and I can feel there if some inanimate object is too close or if I can squeeze through a space or not. Rather like a cats whiskers!

I don't understand your question, UYS. MY wife has a couple of them.

But I DO have to ask this question: Jamison - have you been a naughty, little Flying Love Monkey, too?

Jami-san is unabashedly bi. He will be along eventually to offer input, I'm sure.

 

[Guest]

How far do you run?

And I don't have a strap on... maybe I need one, Ill ask hubby later

I run a 5k x 4 days a week and on the weekend I do a 10k, sometimes further, depending what mood I'm in. I particapate in 1/2 marathons for charity a few times a year. I do it for excersise and relieve stress. I'm obsessive about it too. Really.

And... don't tease me about you wearing a strapon.

Jamison!! dare I ask WHY your wife has a strap on? no I daren't!

Haha... okies, don't ask. You're so cute!

But I DO have to ask this question: Jamison - have you been a naughty, little Flying Love Monkey, too?

Of course.

well, if you want to get technical.......so does he.

Haha.. another:

Yes, bi, but I only take that with the Missus, I'm too Top other wise.

No iPod here either. I outgrew the need for carrying music with me years ago. If I'm on my bike, skates, or just jogging, I prefer the natural sensory experience that surrounds me; I want to focus on that. I feel that if the music's that good, it should be focused on to the exclusion of other lesser distractions.

Not even interested in an iPhone or a BlackBerry. Though I suppose salespeople and business execs without a life think of such devices as critical. I prefer to have a life. {How the hell can anyone surf the web with such a teensy screen?!}

I have an iPod. I just almost never use it. When I'm on the road, I usually just plug the headphones into my laptop. The iPod is just one more thing to carry.

When I'm home, I prefer the open sound my vintage Advents put out. Plus, since I mainly listen to classical music, it's just simpler plugging a CD into a player.

Would you wanna build a playlist for Götterdämmerung?

Anyway, I've been trying to think about what "you" don't know about me and would be surprised about. I'm not sure there is anything I haven't blabbed about already. I once worked in a public health lab doing, among other things, bacteriologic tests for gonorrhea, but I think I said that already. I've attended seven colleges (ten, if you count correspondence courses), but I'm not sure that will surprise anybody.

I don't like to get my hair cut, which is a holdover from growing up in the late sixties/early seventies. My wife tells me I way need to get over that aversion.

Oh, I know. I was subject to the Selective Service draft lottery for induction into the US armed services. (Yeah, I know. Shows my age.) My number came up 271.

I think technically I'm still supposed to carry my SSS card, but I lost it many years ago.

Well THAT'S what I was wondering you see (and didn't like to ask flat out!) and I see from his answer that he does lol ohh dear I have got the giggles now but actually I find that very sexy!

 

[Safe_Bet]

I always paint one toe nail a different color from the others. No one has ever noticed or commented on that, except for Amy who thinks I'm a flipping femme for painting them in the first place.

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Ooops! stupid thing repeated me

 

[UnderYourSpell]

They probably do notice and think there goes that crazy woman with her odd toenails again

 

[ivantheterrible]

i am still running on music cd's. an ipod? i don't know when i'll get around to that.

hell, i'm barely out of the phase of using sticks and rocks. i am a primitive skills practisioner.

i am married but only in the sense of the word. like fuck buddies who get married.

I have an Ipod, a very old one that ee's youngest gave me. I've never used it and it still has all his hip-hop stuff on it. I think it's in the back of my desk drawer but I'm not sure. I have cds and I listen to music online a lot, too, but only the free stuff.

I just a got a cell phone a few months ago and only because my daughter needed me to put her on the contract. And I don't take the cell phone with me when I go shopping, run errands. I'm a firm believer in not being available to anyone some of the time. Yeah I know I can just not answer, but I'm too obsessive to ignore calls.

One interesting thing you don't know about me: right after high school I got a job with the New Jersey state police. I was being trained to be a fingerprints analyst. It was weird, interesting work, but the best part about it was I worked right next to this enormous records room where there were files on every arrest made in NJ. Ever. I can't tell you how much time I spent sneaking into that room and reading arrest records, Billie Holiday (drug arrests), Frank Sinatra (statutory rape), Doc Severinson (illegal betting on races). But I left. I wanted to go to college and study language and literature.

Oh. Most days, my bff and I would go out on our lunch hour and smoke pot, then go back to the state police barracks. Lord we were young and dumb.
