What are you known for?

My brined turkey is what I'm known for at Christmas, Easter & Thanksgiving at the family gatherings. The moistest, juiciest white meat every time.
I'm always being made fun of by family & friends for being waaaay to organized.

L:rose:

Nice!
 
Obsessive behavior - I get really, intensely into things then burn out and move on to the next hobby.

I got hooked on amateur astronomy when my son got a telescope he didn't want as I gift and I got to fooling around with it. Three years later I owned four telescopes, had spent thousands of dollars on books and maps, and many nights huddled outside freezing my ass of trying to get the perfect photograph of Saturn. Then just like that I lost interest and now all that stuff is covered in dust in my garage.

I went from that to board games. In a space of two years I bought over two-hundred and completely filled our largest closet as well as most of the storage in my garage. Played games obsessively at a local store at least one or two nights every week...and then just like that I lost interest. Didn't play or touch a game for over a year and ended up selling more than two thirds of them off on E-Bay.

Then it was classic movies - hours and hours in front of the TV and the closet that was full of games got filled with DVD's and Blue-Rays. Then poof - that phase was over and I've hardly watched T.V. in the last two years.

Them MMO's - Lord of the Rings Online consumed my life for two years - belonged to a guild that raided every other night. Sometimes I was late to work because I played until two in the morning on a week night and couldn't drag my ass out of bed. Ask me the last time I logged on? I honestly don't even remember...

Who knows whats next I'm always on the lookout....

Heh. I went through the astronomy thing. Next door neighbor had a super good telescope.
 
On here my apparently abhorrent love of key lime pie with a chocolate crust. In the really real world I'm known for my paella, my seafood chowdah, and what my kids call "Daddy Noodles" and my keylime pie.

Very nice!
 
Having way too many physical copies of obscure albums by obscure bands. They aren't obscure to me, of course, but other folks sometimes find it disturbing.

I collect rocks. I suppose some people find that disturbing.
 
Being late... and for my love of skulls and Christmas. Oh and my love of disney. Ha.

I used to be chronically late. Now I'm only late when I see my mom. I read somewhere that being late means you don't want to be at that destination. Seems true for me.
 
I am known for being the girl who can trip on air! My high school teacher went from calling me "Georgia" because of my accent and we had just transferred from there, to calling me "Grace" after seeing me trip on the same curb two days in a row. :rolleyes:

I only trip when I wear shoes, so I throw away a lot of shoes because I'm pissed off. :eek:

Also, I have had friends take my knives away at dinner and cut my meat because I end up cutting myself when there's knives involved.

OMG, I trip on air too. Seems I am only graceful with my ballet shoes on. I'm fixing to get rid of a pair of shoes for that very reason.
 
I am known for being the one that knows what to do. Unfortunately I never know what I am doing. :p
 
This thread seems to almost beg for boastfulness - I'm NOT saying that about anything anybody else has said - honestly I really haven't read through them.

I've been known for a lot of things at different times in different circles- all of them super impressive!:D

I'm known for being funny, being a very good guitarist, a singer always in search of the right note (read that as 'bad'), and standing by people I manage to the point of quitting (as long as I believe they're in the right).

I'm also known for being argumentative, petulant and spiteful over perceived disrespect, and not letting people know that I'm not happy with how things are going until it's too late to fix because I don't care anymore.

Hehehe. Yep. I get people coming to me for advice all the time. I'm not sure what I'm doing. Mainly I think I just listen. But they say I make them feel better! :)

Well you've got me beat on the guitar thing. I thought I could easily switch from violin to guitar. Apparently not. Those two extra strings really trip me up.
