Text as follows:

"I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals when time allows, or we have something else in common, and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me (or I friended you), and I thank you for your interest in my words.

"But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: 'Ah, there's so and so...they enjoy the savory aroma of monkey brains a la mode.'

"I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then, if you like, post this in your own journal and see what gems of knowledge appear."

I've been married three times. The first two lasted exactly 5 years. Next year is my fifth anniversary with Jim.

If at first you don't succeed...The third time is the charm :)

three things my kids have inherited from me are: allergies to most antibiotics; double-jointedness; and getting red in the face during exercise, instead of sweating.

Sonia has also inherited your aptitude for dancing. I wonder if one or more will match your facility with language.

Once I start dating someone, I rarely call him by his first name anymore and use a variety of pet names instead. It starts to sound weird to use his name once the relationship has been established, and I have no idea why.

And that way should you momentarily forget your beloved's real name no one will notice. What pet name do you use for Trowa?

[hammercock.livejournal.com]

I usually call him "sweetie," "sweetielove," "loveysweetie," "smoochielove," and things like that. Yes, we are disgustingly cute. :)

Correction: adorably cute.

I am 5'10 1/2", I sing like a bird, have beaten up 2 muggers (one needed hospitalization), always read a magazine back to front, have ADHD, and not only made it through 2girls1cup.com and 2girls1finger.com (if you haven't seen them, you probably don't want to) without gagging and retching, but even giggled at the end (not a brag, but it is very telling about me).

Thanks. I just had to watch that didn't I...

[serene-orange.livejournal.com]

good god man! why did you do that?

But since you did, how far did you get? :)

did you see my special post for you?

[davidfcooper.livejournal.com]

I did it to see to what you were referring, and I didn't get very far, because watching people crap and barf on one another doesn't do anything for me, and my time was limited. Thanks for the birthday post.

well, sheesh, David, it didn't DO anything for me, either. lol

I hope you aren't thinking that is my idea of hot porn!

[laffinman.livejournal.com]

only if yer brain is riddled with disease.

[laffinman.livejournal.com]
