Tell us something about you!

[Lizzie]

I've found this a very interesting thread to read even though, I must admit, I didn't think it would be. So, my turn:

I love total silence, even need silence for periods of time.

I'm a reader. If I don't have a book to read, then I'll read cereal packets, condiment bottles, phone book, whatever.

I used to love taking the family dog for a walk in my teens and twenties in total countryside darkness, as long as there was a moon of course.

I've overcome my fear of heights, modified my fear of rodents, but I'm still very claustrophobic. I get anxious if I'm confined by circumstances, I find even that claustrophobic.

I love boats and sailing but can't swim since I'm terrified of being in water; I just stop breathing and black out.

I love food. I don't eat much, I don't gorge myself, I just love the taste of all kinds of food. I'm inclined to say "Hmmmmmm" out loud, eyes closed, when I'm tasting something good, even in public.

I've been vegetarian for nearly 20 years and eat only tiny amounts of dairy.

I'm a creature of total constrasts. I'm capable of sacrificing comforts and even essentials to do something I've decided needs doing. And I'm capable of very hard physical work. I'm also a hedonist who loves luxury and laziness, revels in just lying on a sofa for hours with the late afternoon sun shining across me, surrounded by cats and with a mug of tea and some good chocolate. I always, but always, take time out to smell the roses, and the sweet peas, and the honeysuckle, and the mock orange, etc. etc.

I am far more likely to be patient with animals who are sick or needy than I am with people.

I have a passion for earrings though all other kinds of jewellery annoy me. I even decided not to have a wedding ring.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Interesting thread !

- I hate when people make grammar mistakes and often cannot control the urge to correct them, even if it is very important people making the error.

- I can ONLY get to sleep if I'm petting Jenny. Once I went on a school trip and couldn't sleep.

- I am soooooo phycotic (sp?) I am terrified of everything. Part of the reason for the above is that everynight I always think.... " Hmmm, I'm gonna get murdered tonight...." or " I bet the house will go up in flames tonight." None of those things have happened yet. I am so terrified of death.

- I love to read odd books, like A series of unfortunate events. I have read everyone so far, plus the Unauthorized Autobiography and the Quiz book.

- I, too, REALLY dislike young chidren, especilaay messy, dirty and boogery ones.

- I have never had the flu shot, and never had the flu.

-Everyone I know ( including my family ) thinks that I'm wierd. Probably because I got sooooo sad when I got a B+ on my report card. ( in gym ). It was the worst mark I've ever gotten.

-My first language is Russian, but now people say that I'm better in English (or French).

- My favourite thing ( after dogs ) Is vocabulary. I love using words like Brummagem and Ersatz. And many other odd words that I can't think of right now.

- Some people say I'm "too" smart. How can you be Too smart ? ! ? !

- I memorized the periodic table ( or the table of elements ) when I was nine.

- I ( somehow ) managed to learn thousands ( literally ) of irregular verbs ( in french ) in a month.

- I don't type properly.

- I have done competitive ( very different from regular ) ballet for 10 years. 5-6 days a week.

- I'm REALLY hate it when really young people watch horrible shows on TV ( that give me nightmares ) A girl walked up to me and petted Jen and said " your dog is so skinny, she reminds me of that dog on CSI that got starved to death" THIS KID WAS 6 !!!!!!! I was so angry that people let their children watch these sort of shows. A 6-year-old ! Watching CSI !!! I don't even watch those horrible shows !!!

- The show I find scariest is " Criminal Minds " OK its bad enough on the other shows they murder people. On this one they have to murder them for some strange, deranged reason.

- I have a fake tooth right in the front of my mouth.. and it was always YELLOW !!! I think the dentist did that to me on purpose.

That's all I can think of right now, I'll think of some more wedsday.

-The Da Vinci Code and the James Herriot series are my favourite books
-My star sign is capricorn. I was born on January 20th, which is a confusing date for star signs, as it is either the last day of capricornians of the first of Aquarians. I've always thought of myself as a true-hearted capricornian.
-My first (sort of) word was boh-woh, meaning dog. All my first ten words were of animals, they were Bambos (my RB cat Brando), bee, horsee, birdie, Zah-Zah (RB Zsa-Zsa), bunny, hamser (hamster), bear and chickie (chicken). Shortly after, I learned Mummy, Daddy, monster and Eric Cantona!
