• I’m too ponderously serious • I retreat from hostile confrontation arguments, though. • Hello OpalCat • Oddly, I expect folks to care what I think! • Sometimes I’m playful or frivolous • I’m shy about making friends here. ---

My posts say: I work overnight in TV Land. I like my bicycle. I hate unions. I’m occasionally a caustic bastard 🙂 and every women I’ve slept with has been multi-orgasmic. (well, \*\* Berdellos\*\* asked ! ) PS Doom is not an old video game. Moria is an old video game. ---

Oh, this one’s easy. I’m a callous bitch with very little patience who never proofreads. ---

“Though your denial is consistent, Mr. Werfect, it’s readily apparent to all that you harbor unresolved Oedipal tendencies which manifest in your transparent desire to appear in a revival of Oh, Calcutta! conducted entirely in the language of whale-song with your mother.” “Well I…”- “And furthermore, your tendency to periodically post drunk displays a misplaced desire to shed your own inhibitions to a degree at which you would be comfortable with dancing around in an airport selling flowers whilst wearing a saffron pastel drape and sporting an unfortunate hair style.” “Yes, but…”- "The fact that you have the inner wish to make 90% of your posts wearing absolutely nothing but a pair of socks reveals to all your primal dream of being set loose on a calved iceberg only to be viciously ripped apart and eaten by giant snow weasels, thereby cementing your connection to the flow of life. “But, I…Aw shit, forget it.”- “A fecal reference? Please lay back down on the couch Mr. Werfect. We have much work to do.” ---

1. _I_ don’t like beer. (Tripler, beatle…:p) 2. I live in the DFW area. 3. I’m a dedicated (some would say fanatical) LARPer. 4. I tend to write massive megaposts on any topic that catches my eye. 5. I’m originally from Louisiana, and I’m a bit snobbish about Cajun food. 6. I make my own booze (usually mead). 7. I enjoy Ren Faires. 8. I’m a borderline agnostic Wiccan. 9. I have a very common name–a determined researcher could figure out what it is. 10. I have an almost fetishistic love for parenthetical comments. 11. I think way too much about really silly questions. ---

This is a great thread to get to know everyone! I have rarely posted so my posts only attest to my knowledge of gynecology–professionally, I swear! So I’ll try to think of 10 things about myself; prepare to snooze. ``` 1) I am female. 2) I don't drink beer but I used to drink plenty! 3) I'm not a callous bitch in any way; I would be horrified if thought to be. 4) I'm not Christian. 5) I hate television but I adore the History channel and Jeopardy. 6) I'm constantly reading. 7) I'm Pro-Choice and a mother too. 8) My husband is also a Doper who shall remain nameless. 9) Sex out on the patio is da bomb. 10) I'm in grad school AGAIN. ``` [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-your-postings-reveal-about-you/61409.md?page=1)
