3 things about you

[WriterDom]

Me too, which is why I hate winter! Can't afford to keep the heat up enough to not need PJs.

Long cotton PJs are hot to me.

1) I will read anything by Asimov, Heinlien, S. Robinson, Sherri S Tepper...no matter how silly the premise may seem.

I see a lot of folks that mention Asimov, not so many that mention Heinlein. He is my favourite classic SF writer by leaps and bounds. I cut out the article in the paper when he died, in part because I was saddened by it, but also because I was stunned at how much coverage the newspaper for the tiny little town I was in gave him.

I discovered Heinlein, backwards. I am a huge Spider Robinson fan. They have called him "Heinlein for the new millenium" and I didn't know why. (He wrote the Callahan stories etc...you should look him up) Anywho, because I wanted to know why, I grabbed a book of short stories by Heinlein and discovered that I like him. Then got hooked on his future histories....

Oh, I know Spider Robinson. I liked dig Callahan stuff. I was really happy with his references to Heinlein, and thought that the essay he wrote on Heinlein's work, however controversial some people though it was, was really spot on.

I bought a Heinlein book because it just sounded interesting "Doorway Into Summer" was the title, I think. It was about a exosurvival class that gets lost on another planet during the final exam. I think that is the right title. Anyway, I was in a Stars and Stripes store in Hanau, Germany and was desperate for bookage. I bought that, was blown away, and just started voraciously reading anything I could get my hands on by him.

It probably helps that I was in the Boy Scouts, and was thus the exact right age and interests for all the stories he wrote with Scouts in mind.

I had "The Unpleasant Profession of Mr Jonathan Hoag" in my hand last night while cleaning up my office/garage. I wanted to sit down and read for a while but didn't have the time, boo.

Me too, which is why I hate winter! Can't afford to keep the heat up enough to not need PJs.

Yeah that is why I don't like winter very much, either. In the summer I can rock boy shorts (undies) and a sports bra and it looks like bathing suit. In the winter I have to layer and layer...just to get a lil warm. I hate it!!!

Y'all should do what I'm planning on doing: move to Florida. pet can tell y'all all about it.

1. I'm the youngest of my dads 4 kids and I'm my moms only child. Double spoiled. Also, there are 12 years between myself and the youngest of my dads other kids. Was I an "uh, oh" baby? I have suspected as much for years.

2. I was raised on a farm and I hated every minute of it, and couldn't wait to get away from there and out into the real world. Now, after 10 years, I miss that place, that life, and I'm planning on buying, building, and living on a farm with pet and the kids very soon. I wonder to myself, though, Why?

3. I used to be a notorious blabber mouth, in my younger years. No secrets were safe with me. Now, I am the secret keeper. I know things about people that could ruin lives, cause divorces, get people thrown in jail, and yet I am trusted beyond rational boundaries by everyone around me.

 

[BlitzKrieger]

I'll admit, with a side of guilt, that I discovered Heinlein with the help of Wal-mart and Hollywood.

Who remembers Starship Troopers? Oh, yeah! I should add that to my guilty cinematic pleasure list. But bad movie was promoted with the full force of the Hollywood hype machine, which included Wal-mart selling copies of the "real" book. I picked it up and was instantly in love. Then a good friend let me borrow a copy of Friday and I was never the same.

I'm not knocking Asimov or Clarke or any of the other "Masters of Sci-fi", but Heinlein was the first, for me, of the Realistic Sci-fi creators. This shit might actually be possible! This wasn't high fantasy where the unicorns and singing swords were replaced with space ships and laser rifles, No. This was honest to goodness "Adult Science Fiction", and on top of that it was just fucking cool!

So yeah, I've been a maniacal Heinlein fan for a number of years now. I'm not quite a "Fan Boy", but I'm damn close. Btw, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of the best books ever written, period.

Homburg, Tunnel in the Sky was the book you mentioned. Sounds like a hell of a story too. ::

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

I loved Friday!! I had to buy it as soon as I read the back!! (Which was crazy anyway since I was only collecting his future history to start)

Also:

1) I have spent most of my adult life feeling vaguely unhappy because I am a shrimpy person.

2) I love it when people knit or crochet. I can sit and watch some else do it, for hours. However, I don't want to learn how to do it myself. Which ties into ...

3) I can not sew.

 

[graceanne]

Oh, I love that! May I use it graceanne?

Sure, I borrowed it from somewhere, myself. I can't recall where I saw it, though.

.

2) I am more comfortable in the nude than in any sort of clothing.

Yeah, me too.

Me too, which is why I hate winter! Can't afford to keep the heat up enough to not need PJs.

I wear pj's until bed time and then pile my bed down with blankets and strip. Well, I did. Now my son is sharing my bed so I have to wear PJ's. But, as soon as K gets back and D goes back into his room I'll be NUDE AGAIN!

 

[subish2009]

1. I am least comfortable in the nude, though I think I look better the fewer clothes I have on. And not just sexually...I never feel that clothes hang right on me, probably because I'm so tall (5'10").

2. I LOVE pajamas! Little cami/panty sets in the summer, pajama pants and tank tops in the winter. Lots of blankets on the bed in the winter with the room pretty chilly. Ooh, I LOVE that!

3. I start a new job on Monday. Return to work after two years home with the bebe. I have mixed emotions about this.

 

[PatchIsMe]

1. I too am returning to the work place, I am hoping it will give me some sanity.
2. I crave what I shouldn't and am finding it hard to feel any remorse.
3. I think pajama days are the best.

 

[Cattypuss]

(1) I have extraordinarily beautiful feet

(2) I have extraordinarily ugly legs

(3) I love chickpeas so much I could happily live on them and nothing else.

 

[eastern sun]

1. I had a penguin obsession as a kid. Though I have never been to continental Europe, I have visited the penguin rookeries in Antarctica.

2. I used to play the violin. Now I play the electric guitar. I want to be in a band.

3. I like to collect things that other people have thrown out. I have furnished my studio with other people's garbage, and incorporate recycled materials in most of my work.

I play drums in Queens. PM me.

You need doubles.

 

[BiaTcHiNFiRe]

1. I've never orgasm with man untill I found out I am submissive and got used for someones pleasure.

2. I've never tasted floggers or a raiding crop on my body yet and I am still in love with those toys, 100% knowing I would enjoy them very much.

3. I dream about brand burned into my skin.

 

[graceanne]

1. I'm addicted to iced tea.

2. I'm a sucker. Evidence: I took three extra kids (on top of my four regular) to the pumpkin patch today cause I can't say no.

3. There's a spot on my upper thigh that if I scratch it tickles my knee.

 

[Lizzie_Borden]

Right now

1. I need coffee
2. I need bacon
3. I'm glad it's not raining out so I can go procure said items

 

[Ravenwind]

1.) I'm a little dyslexic. Somehow I managed to be exceedingly well-spoken in English, am polylingual, and a perfectionist at spelling (though I mix-and-match British and American spellings).

2.) I'm a little colorblind. Somehow, I managed to be pretty dang good at full-color art in a multitude of mediums.

3.) I'm a little deaf (my own fault on that, though). Somehow, I have perfect pitch... but can't sing for beans.

Go figure.

 

[clock1]

1. I went to four high schools in four years.
2) I am more comfortable in the nude than in any sort of clothing.
I discovered Heinlein (in 1967-Glory Road)

 

[ultramarineblue]

1. I'm painfully shy.
2. I love trying new things.
3. I hate to see others in pain.

 

[Homburg]

You need doubles.

That sounds really freaking tasty, damn.

Why is it that every single last "caribbean" restaurant around here has food that tastes like ass?

 

[Cattypuss]

You need doubles.

OMG they sound fanTAStic... I'm actually drooling (I love spicy food).

 

[Ala579]

1. I'm hopelessly addicted to coffee
2. My middle name is not grace, I trip over my own two feet
3. I used to be very outgoing and would talk to just about anyone, but lately have found myself to be painfully shy and quiet when around other people.

 

[jenniferbaby]

I wear pj's until bed time and then pile my bed down with blankets and strip.

I do this as well. I use pj's as loungewear around the house rather than sleepwear. I tend not to buy pj's very often because I don't use them all that much.

I fell asleep with pj's on the other day and woke up in the middle of the night feeling very uncomfortable. I took them off immediately.

I've always hated wearing socks to bed.

 

[SapphireD]

1. Chocolate is the most comforting food ever created and I love it
2. I grew up controlled and sheltered but with not enough exposure to my Dad so that is why most of my fantasies involve a Daddy or figure of authority
3. I have just begun the journey to find out who I really am and what really makes me tick
