Who are you? (Extremely M and P)

I’m the woman who always has some “project” going on. Or is planning one. Or is talking about one.

Family and friends are very important to me, but I tend to not talk a whole lot about my personal life. I talk about my interests, my hobbies, the outside things I’m enthusiastic about. I like to learn new things, and develop new skills. I like to get new books.

What is life without acquiring new interests or accomplishments? I don’t like to spend all my free time going out and being “entertained”, I want to do something. I am not the most active person (not a hiking outdoorsy type) but I love to travel and get out and take photos and paint watercolors. I love to do stuff, even on the computer. When I first got a computer, I almost immediately learned how to make web pages. I wanted to create something with the computer. Otherwise, (I thought) what was the point of having it?
So I talk about my new hobbies and interests. To a certain extent, it seems to be how I define myself.

I’m the girl who can’t believe the teenager I feel is living in this forty-one year old body.
I’m the Mom of Dan and Josh.
I’m the one with Randy.
I’m the slightly odd girl in the bush, turning over every rock and log to see what lives there.
I am the tomboy.
I the one who can write a poem on any subject in five minutes or less.
I’m the one who always knows the answer to the obscure questions.
I’m the girl on her way to Church, or Home Group, or drama practice, or out with the gr. 5-7’s.
I’m the one on the bike.
I’m the one singing to the Oldies station.
I’m the Zookeeper.
I’m the telemarketer.
I’m the owner of, or owned by, more than forty animals.
I’m the one who doesn’t drink, because when I do, I get very quiet. When I don’t, I sing karoke and dance. I do everything backwards!
I’m the only one talking when I take a class. I always wait to see if anyone else will answer, but once people figure out that I will answer, they just sit back and relax.
I am Chance-Taker.
I am the one making you laugh.
I am the one who will listen and give you advice.
I am the one who has had many losses, but I still stand.
I am the one who laughs, loves, and honestly enjoys life.
I am Ann.

uh… i’m the tabbycat.
the talking tabbycat.
the talking tabbycat that types.
the tabbycat that’s going to get some catnip right now.

:smiley:

the girl who types replies out to many posts, then doesn’t press submit and may not press submit after typing this. :wink:
the girl who everyone thinks is always smiling.
the girl who is good at listening but not at talking.
the girl who finds it hard to believe that someone means it when they say “I love you”.
the girl who wonders if she really is doing a good job of bringing her children up.
the girl who likes to laugh with friends.
the girl who, for the most part, is happy with her life.

yeah, it’s me again . . . (would that be good or bad?)
i’m . . .

Do you know who I am?

That’s why I carry the American Express™ card…

:wink:

No one of consequence.

-That big guy… you know, that BIG guy!?
-The one with WAY too many comedy and parody CD’s
-The one, at first glance, people are generaly afraid of.
-The one that did a magic trick for you five years before you saw David Blaine do it on TV.
-a highland gamer or “the strong guy in the kilt”
-The guy that can…
–eat fire
–juggle
–throw a knife/hatchet/axe accurately
–shoot a longbow accurately
–ride a unicycle

I am… without regret.

I am the dreamer

I am the girl who always seems to have something else to add onto threads she’s already posted at. :wink:

I am the girl who can talk all day to her betta, even though he does not answer back. I am the girl who names her fish “Caligula” to get reactions out of people.

I am the girl who, if you do see her smile, has a weird half smile. I never show my teeth when I smile, which annoys photographers during Picture Day.

I am the girl whose only grand moment in Scholar Bowl during her Junior year was when a whole Lightning Round was on George Orwell.

I am the girl who thinks she’s a genius, but is put back in her place when surrounded by people smarter than her.

I am:

A 5’10" nordic blond babe with big tits and a tiny waist–reminiscent of Ellie May Clampett who will always be geeky, gangly, flat, unpopular and unattractive in her mind no matter how people’s opinions change…

The girl who is currently reading 3 things: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, some Robert Ludlum novel and re-reading Othello for the 5th time;

The girl who, though not Mensa level, will always be too smart to be “cool”; The girl who loves crappy 80’s music;
The girl who thinks her cats are people and prefers their company most of the time over the company of real people;

The girl who is an attorney, but giggles uncontrollably after telling someone this because it feels like a LIE…; the girl whose mind is almost always trolling in the gutter; the girl who is in love with a man twice her age despite the fact that he is married; the girl who thinks he might just actually leave his wife and live happily ever after with me; The girl who realizes and accepts the fact that despite living in the “big city,” she will always be a country hick… The girl who eats fried pickles with ranch sauce…

I…am a man of constant sorrow
I’ve seen trouble all my days!
I…bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised…

But, seriously, folks

I’m the big friendly guy who seems perfectly normal if somewhat cynical.

I’m so much of a history buff that I’ve purchased more histories and biographies than fiction in the last 3 years.

If you give me the remote we’ll wind up watching the History Channel or Discovery Wings. Unless Samurai Jack is on.

I’m the guy whose ideal evening involves Celtic music, Japanese food, and Scotch whisky.

I strike fear into the hearts of evildoers. No, really. It’s been proven. It was very entertaining.

I’m the biggest flirt you know, but none of you can tell since I don’t flirt on the boards.

Cats, children and old folks instinctively like me.

I am cautious and analytical, but I drive like a bat out of hell.

I am the girl who is suprised by all the responses to this thread.
I am the girl who is amazed at the eloquence people use to describe themselves. (Even the smart-alecks! :))

I am the girl who finds it interesting that not one but two guys who wear kilts have replied to her thread.
:smiley:

I am the girl who is singing “The Thanksgiving Song” by Adam Sandler right now.

I am the girl that is happy that this is her first thread to make it to two pages, because everyone here fascinates me.

Today, I am the girl who’s eating a pear and marvelling at the fact that she’s not hungover!

I am also the girl who:

–is enjoying reading this thread. It’s so cute! :smiley:
–is excessively silly
–works primarily to bring joy to others and to herself
–is contemptuous of elitism
–thinks true brilliance/intelligence comes from a complex mix of humility, common sense, street smarts, some book learnin’, and RESPECT for the value of all living beings and for the dead
–LOVES to read
–LOVES to flirt
–LOVES to watch folks enjoying her culinary experiments
–LOVES to laugh [giggle]
–LOVES to float in the clouds . . .

I’m the guy who holds doors open for women, and who stands when they enter the room.

I’m the guy who thinks his Windstar is a Formula 1 racer and hits the open highway with the intent of breaking the land speed record. But I’m the guy who doesn’t drive so much as a hair above the speed limit in neighborhoods or near schools.

I’m the guy who shushes you in the theater.

I’m the guy who hasn’t read nearly as many books as he’d like to, or even should have.

I’m the reliable guy who, if he tells you he’ll be someplace at 10:00, will probably arrive at 9:45.

I’m the guy who might try a little too hard sometimes.

I’m the guy who enjoys harmlessly flirting with pretty women, but who wouldn’t know what to do if one of them let him know she was serious.

I’m one of the nicest guys around, but sometimes my evil twin with the acid tongue and the caustic wit kidnaps me and takes my place at the bar. This actually happens more often than you’d think. :smiley:

I’m a Doper who’s just passed his 1000th post mark. Thanks to the folks who noticed. :slight_smile:

I’m a gay man with an incredibly catholic (note small “c”) taste in men. 18 to mid-50s, fat or thin, athletic or slack, hairy or smooth, gorgeous through cute through interesting face, “Mr. Right” to “Mr. Right-now”, guys who trigger my maternal instincts to guys who trigger my comfort-seeking instincts…quite a range.

I’m Jim, Jay, jayjay, jayjaybear, Jimmy, James, Mr. Gray, “hey, you”, and any number of less-printable epithets.

I’ve done drag. Once. It wasn’t a pretty sight.

I have not a lot of friends and very few lovers. Tricks, on the other hand…

I have a sexual past that I’m not proud of, and which, given a single wrong throw of the cosmic dice, could have vastly shortened my future.

I’m a guy who writes incredibly long posts about the most boring person in the world, himself. :smiley:
