I like it when Arden pops in to threads behind me and says she’s stalking me. 
I like John Denver, too.
Oh, and the 80’s music Shadowfox mentioned? LOVE it. She and I are about the same age. I grew up with it, too.
I also really, really like the stuff they’re calling AM Gold now. The cheesy 70’s stuff. That’s the stuff my parents listened to all the time.
I have many problems. But I don’t discuss them here on the boards, because I really like the fact that people don’t hate me here.
I am hopelessly addicted to General Hospital and Roswell.
I have a degree in Brit Lit, but have never read, nor seen a performance of Macbeth or Hamlet.
I sometimes sneak sodas from the fridge at work to take home.
I have been known to throw away particularly nasty pots, pans, and measuring cups instead of washing them.
I don’t love my grandmother.
I think Elizabeth Vargas is hot.
I have a paper cut in a most uncomfortable place, because I was half asleep last night when I changed my feminine hygiene product. Apparently, I didn’t complete the, ummm, installation properly, and forgot to pull off the little wax paper square and drop the wings around to the bottom. Ouch.
I know, TMI, but I figured, if I couldn’t tell the dopers, who could I tell?
I forgot to add…
I remain a member of the Left Behind boards. I even post there occasionally.
Don’t mind me, I just came by to stalk Persephone.
I, uh, this one is really hard for me. Here goes. I used to be a fundamentalist. ::sobs:: Now I’m an athiest.
I also actually enjoy the Left Behind series. :eek:
I spend way too much time tinkering with my computers.
I like to take things apart. My motto: If the manufacturer assembled it, I can disassemble it. I find “warranty void if opened” stickers and tamper-resistant fasteners objectionable.
In the same vein as the above, I’ve disassembled equipment with built in CRTs. A mistake could cause the tube to implode and pelt me with broken glass, or send over 5,000 volts through my body.
I’ve always hated the Three Stooges.
I like movies, but I’ve never seen Gone with the Wind or Titantic.
Moving movie endings bring tears to my eyes.
Frank Sinatra & Elvis both leave me cold.
I’m an atheist.
I can’t dance.
Sports bore me.
I’ve never had many friends. (I now spend most of my spare time with my wife.)
The only card games I know are solitaire, war, and rummy.
Since the Web developed, I’ve started to get ridiculously lazy & spend too much time surfing.
I usually tell people what I think they want to hear instead of what I believe.
I don’t see what’s wrong with porn.
I think having children is a waste of time & money.
Although I only smoked heroin once 25 years ago, I want to take it again.
I think I need a good wallop on the side of my head right now.
I just sent someone very dear to me a birthday card, because today is her birthday. I was going to call her today, but I got busy doing other stuff–taking care of kids, going to the doctor, and fooling around here on the boards. I took today off work, because the heat here is starting to get to me and I felt kinda crappy.
I could have called her. I should have called her. And now as I look at my clock, I see it’s just too darn late to call. She was the first person I thought of when I woke up, and now, I’m sitting here totally honked off at myself because I didn’t call her.
Everyone forgets a birthday every now and then, but dammit, the girl is my daughter. My oldest daughter. The one I relinquished for adoption thirteen years ago today. The one I have been so blessed to still be able to know.
Excuse me while I go beat my head in to the wall.

You MORON!
Whitey, I’m restraining the urge to hunt you down and lock you somewhere and show you countless anti-smoking proganda videos and pictures until you are brainwashed and finally realizing, no matter how cool you look doing it, it is NOT FUCKING WORTH IT! My great-grandfather died of lung cancer as a direct result of getting addicted, and my father will eventually follow in his footsteps if he keeps it up. I know, I know, it’s just SO neat, but after I decided I didn’t want to screw myself over any more than I already am, I quit. You can too! You shouldn’t have even started!
Geez. shaking head
As for moi…
When I think back to past events, I count back not by months but by guys.
Example: Let’s see, that happened when I was dating Bobby…oh, and that when I was hooking up with Travis on the weekends…oh! That was right after that night with Ryan!
Definitely not good.
My most outstanding memory of kindergarten includes getting naked in the playhouse with some little boys. (I wish I was joking.)
I have this weird fuzzy picture of walking in on my step-grandfather in the shower as a small child, but I don’t know if I actually did or if it was a dream.
I love Independence Day (the movie.) And MIB. Will Smith’s facial expressions are eternally endearing. beams
ME TOO! Angels and demons names are the fucking neatest names in the entire universe. I collect them…haha…yeah, it’s sad…
I flirt with married Dopers. Why? Because they flirt back, and because IRL I would never dare-not to mention that whole consenting age thing…
I have never seen anything Monty Python, much to the shame of many friends, especially Catalyst, who is determined to expose me to both Monty and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I can’t wait!!
GD usually gives me headaches…so I usually never post and barely read.
Deep down inside…I thought Ralph Nader was kinda cool.
My family has decided that the Governor of SC (Jim Hodges) looks like a RAT!
Lately I’ve adopted a lower, huskier (dare I say sexier) voice when on the phone with this poor soul whose infatuated with me. I can’t help it. It’s awful.
I, like Cleophus actually enjoy the Left Behind series. Well, I will when I get to the second one and so on…
I’m terrified of having children after all my work in childcare. (I even work part-time at a pre-school. Now, that, ladies and gentlemen, is effective birth control for your teenage daughters. If I have sex in the next few years, you can bet I’m using every kind of protection possible. I don’t want kids. God forbid looks to the sky
I spent a ridiculous amount of time constructing a web page, responding to this thread and generally being online at all.
I drool in my sleep.
Due to an error on a professor’s part, I didn’t receive my diploma the day I graduated from college. Out of spite, I still haven’t picked up. This was two years ago.
I add and subtract on my fingers. Even when it’s only single digits.
I studiously avoid using its and it’s when writing because I’m afraid I’ll mess it up and feel dumb.
I drink way too much coffee and smoke too many cigarettes.
I had sex with a Jehova’s Witness.
I obsessively check my email. Like every couple minutes.
I have a huge inferiority complex, and you people make me feel dumb often.
I don’t drink, but I always *try to when I go out, and end up carrying the same gin and tonic around all night.
I lie to my herbalist when she asks if I’ve been taking my herbs. I forget to all the time.
I have awful credit, and never pay my bills on time.
People think I’m brave and strong and afraid of nothing, but I’m really a total wuss and am scared of everything.
I’m not a natural blonde. 
…and evidently, I suck at ending my bold tags.
It’s not your fault-it must be contagious cuz I did it first.
I ridiculed Persephone’s beliefs about paganism…even though I consider myself at least agnostic if not out-right atheist…and I lived
UncleBeer slept at my house.
So did thinksnow.
I drink beer all the damn time and don’t care who knows.
My wife and I are both semi-swingers and comfortable with it.
I cook DMAN good ribs, and if I had remembered to bring the damn things out at the Dopapalooza, others, besides Persephone, would also know.
I daily feel like starting pit threads about certain morons on the board but manage to refrain myself. I like being able to access the board. 
I’m quite sure there are MANY more…
X
I do not like Pearl Jam.
I enjoy cartoons, mostly Warner Bros, but I also like most Disney toons.
Sometimes I volunteer to babysit my neice just as an excuse to watch Sesame Street with her.
I have a box set of The Monkees, although my musical tastes lean more towards classic rock of the 70s.
When I played baseball in high school, we used to make fun of the stat geeks who knew all the numbers of all the players but did not actually play the game. I am now one of those geeks.
I have a collection of ahem adult videos.
I did not think American Beauty was a good film.
That was supposed to be DAMN…please excuse any other typo’s
I have a HUGE collection of adult videos…and couldn’t care less what anyone thinks.
I collect certain types of amateur porn movies…
I would cheerfully castrate a child molester…
I believe in capital punishment.
I believe in a woman’s right to have an abortion.
I believe in using animals for medical research.
I believe in calling “politically correct” people complete morons.
I believe in the right to bear arms.
I believe in the right to kill an intruder that decides to break into my house. Especially since I have kids.
Okay now…I’m startint to get a bit to right-wing even for myself
My soul source of news is The Daily Show.
I am so paraniod that I am always sure someone is watching me. So much so that I am embarrased to scratch my butt or watch Springer even when completely alone.
Peanuts sucks. Still sucks, because my local paper is still running “classic” strips.
I own about 10 different copies of The Time Machine.
I have a serious crush on Jeff Corwin, Conan O’Brian, and Wolverine. (Not just played by Hugh Jackman, I wanted him when he was 2D)
I am facinated by every religion there is and I am always reading literature about the customs, rituals and beliefs of various religions. Except Christianity. I just read books debunking that particular religion.
I only post when I think I have something witty or intellegent to say. I want people here to think I’m funny and smart.

This made me laugh, I must confess.
Even though my job forces me to regularly interact with people I don’t know, and I used to be a lead singer in one of the most popular local rock and roll bar bands in my area, for years … and even though I can put on the “life of the party persona,” and even know people who would know me from these things would tell you what I’m about to tell you is absolutely absurd …
… I am very shy around people who are not in my “inner circle.” I mean, bordering on xenophobic.
Ok, another confession. I would looooove to deflower a few more virgins.
Aaaaaand…I’m Paaagan!
Okay… more confessions.
My dislike of ex-PM Brian Mulroney is totally irrational and visceral. Even if I had agreed with his policies and achievements, I never would have supported him. Something about his voice just made my stomach turn.
I’m Pagan, too! I woke up one day in 1993, after a very unsusal dream that featured every woman I’ve ever met, and just knew.
I’ll listen to the same song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, then abruptly abandon it. I’ve been listening to the same set of trance MP3s for a week now. My roommates and co-workers are glad that I have good headphones, the kind that seal the ears.
At home, I frequently create web pages in the nude.
I like minidiscs and I’m not afraid to admit it.
I’ve never been drunk or stoned.
I… appreciate women. As an artist, one of the things I do is appreciate beauty and be grateful for it. Colours, tastes, food, weather, drawings, ideas, the design of a program… all these things can be beautiful and thus bring me great pleasure simply by their existence. The same is true of women. This is very difficult to express to a woman without having it sound like some sort of tacky self-centred pickup line, so I almost never say it.
My next stereo component will be an Arcam “Alpha 10” DAB receiver… unless a cheaper DAB receiver comes along by the time I’m out of debt enough to afford one.
Were I single, I wouldn’t mind that either…
I wish my son would hurry up and get here; he makes me worry too much and as a result I have grey hairs in my beard.
I still fantasize about some of my exes.
I mainly watch American Beauty to see Thora Birch take her shirt off.
I wish Natalie Portman would take hers off, even though I respect her for not doing so.
I really dislike the Rolling Stones.
ditto for most mid-80s Euro-pop new wave music.
ditto for rap.
more as I think of them…
