It doesn’t have to be worthwhile – just “creative”!

I’m both. And I don’t even remember that Truth or Dare thread that was linked to.

I’ll answer, just to get the game going again.

It’s not really a fetish, as the literal definition of fetish is ‘something that you _need_ in order to become aroused’, although it is commonly used as ‘something that turns you on’, and I am using the latter… but I have a thing for deep, gravelly voices- they turn me on so much. So if I’m with a guy that has a voice like that, I will ask him to talk to me during sex. He may think that I have a thing for being talked dirty to, but I don’t, at all- it’s just the voice I want to hear and he could be reading the phonebook for all I care.

My question- do you ever call in sick to work when you really just need a mental health day and if so, how often do you do that?

</div>

Answer: I don’t, because it’s too much hassle finding a replacement/screwing up everyone’s schedule. Occasionally, I’ll call in late so I can sleep longer, though. Maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

Ask: What’s the dumbest way you’ve gotten an accidental injury?

answer: Went exploring with a friend, on the railroad tracks, when we were supposed to be playing in the yard. Crossed a train trestle and everything. I was 6. I was unable to sit for a long time, after my father was through with me.

</div>

Answer: Sex toys. Kinda funny story actually. I got a couple drawstring bags for free with orders from Sephora. One I used for a gift for my mom and the other I used to store my sex toys. Then one horrible summer I was staying at my mom’s house for a couple months while I apartment-searched, and my mom is a HUGE unrepentant snoop and one day I saw the bag sitting out on a table at her house. I about had a heart attack. Then realized it was just the bag I gave her.

Ask: What is the most illegal thing you’ve ever done? Probably don’t answer if it was jaywalking because you’re just going to look boring.

</div>

As long as we’re talking human partners, none. I have cuddled with strange felines and been called out on it when I returned home, but nothing has ever actually been proven.

What is the closest you’ve ever come to being actually arrested, but not.

</div>

Answer: I was pulled over after drinking when I was 17. I did the field sobriety tests well, and blew a minimal BAC. But for juveniles in VA there is zero tolerance for DUI. Knowing what I know now (as an attorney in VA), the cop really didn’t want to do Juvie paperwork. I was a quarter mile from home, and he let me go. Whew!!!

> Question: what is your worst personality quirk?

Answer: I need to be left alone, frequently throw the main breaker and take the battery out of my phone. Go for long hikes and long paddles alone. Every man in my life have assumed that I’m up to no good when I’m unreachable and have resented me for the time I spend doing me things. Sometimes I lie to buy time and space.

Question: What do you secretly overindulge in?

Beef jerky. Can’t get enough of it. I’d eat it every day if I didn’t exercise some self control.

Question: What odd little ritual(s) do you secretly perform for luck, even though you’re not remotely superstitious and far too smart and together to believe in that sort of woo b.s. ?

The only thing I can even remotely think of is that I try not to step on cracks, in order to leave my mother’s spine intact. I really don’t believe in any kind of superstitions at all.

</div>

Answer: Heck ya. I am super manipulative. I will push and push the tolerance level of my SO to see how much of my BS they will put up with because I was emotionally abused as a child and fear abandonment. I (wrongly) figure that if my SO can’t handle the crazy, emotional, over anxious me they don’t really love me. I have pushed away a number of great guys through this emotional crap. Fortunately I have become more self aware as I have gotten older and my husband won’t put up with my crap and calls me out on it all the time, so that has helped me not be so insecure and horrible to him. He puts up with a lot and I love him for it.

Ask: Have you ever passive-aggressively gotten back at a co-worker you secretly hated?
