I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, 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 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, the more trivial and fascinating, the better. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...they have a giant birthmark shaped like a wildebeest on their right buttock."

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

No obligation to post it on your journal if you leave a comment. Pick the parts you want to do, the usual :)

Well... I have pointed canines. I mean, vampire pointed. And I was born with them, so I don't know what that means about me.

I like the smell of coffee, but not the taste. I like tea. I like Assam tea, specifically, and I usually drink it black.

I support computers for a law firm. There are numbers of jokes in that, but I promise not to recite them all at once.

[takes notes]

I always wondered what your job was :)

Hmm. Nursemaid, interpreter, unofficial psychologist--oh, yes, and I troubleshoot computer problems, too!

But I get paid well for putting up with attorneys and the occasional God complex.

I say my job is adult daycare some days [g]

.they have a giant birthmark shaped like a wildebeest on their right buttock.

How did you know about my birthmark??

I'm sorry, I can't divulge that information [g]

I sometimes think that there was a leprachaun in my family background of which we do not speak. Either than or a brownie.

Very cool!

Here's my secret shame - I'm an Engineer.

I'm in charge of the quality program for a major paint manufacturer. Or as my son, Seth likes to point out - I watch paint dry.

LOL!

I can lick my own nose and spit water 3 feet. (But not simultaneously.) Both of these talents have earned me the title: Coolest Grownup EVER, which was bestowed upon me last summer by my niece and nephews.

The nose licking earned me the respect of a group of rambunctious 6th graders when I was student teaching, who behaved perfectly for me the entire semester.

Everyone needs special talents [g]

In my next life, I would like to be a penguin at Sea World.

I chose my college major by sitting down with the school's catalog and crossing off everything I didn't want to do.

I have a large scar on my right knee, from where I got stitches when I was 6. I fell on broken bottle glass. It was brown, so probably a beer bottle.

I used to teach at my old high school. In 2006, the Thespians made me an honorary member of their troupe. What most of them didn't know was that, as a student 13 years prior, I was a founding member of said troupe.

[tosses herring]

I still have the notebooks I used to write NKOTB fanfic when I was 13.

One of my cats is named after Sebastian Bach of Skid Row.

I was the only non-theatre major to be cast in the spring musical my freshman year of college. Too bad I quit school at Christmas and never got to perform!

NKOTB? I know I'll go 'duh' when you tell me :)

New Kids on the Block. :)

I recently acquired the nickname 'weird Al' in work which I think is great (I like Weird Al Yankovich too). I also turned 40 this year; I'm an original 1980s goth, and proud of it.

Cool :)

We've been nodding acquaintances for years,but I have yet to have a long conversation with you in person.

My first convention was Equicon 76 in San Diego, and (somewhere in my stuff) I own a copy of "Spock Enslaved".

My first con was some nameless little thing at the University of Victoria, I guess it would have been 79.

well ,I don't really post too much in my live journal ,I mostly post on what others say -or write .I love you fanfics that what caused me to friend you but I still love reading you other comments too .just remember I am the wet cat lady -I never change my icon ,it's been with me from the beginning .I just love fanfic ,I read about everything highlander or 30 seconds to mars (jared leto ).hope this helps but I really don't do anything exciting .

Thanks for commenting this time! I love hearing from lurkers :) and I'm glad you enjoy my fic.

I collect dragons, although that's not really all that secret.
I used to be a competitive swimmer, and a professional lifeguard

I collect dragons too!

Anything in particular?

Mostly in general. The only thing I have several of is Pocket Dragons, and art by someone whose name escape me at the moment [g]

The bulk of my collection is pocket dragons! I was sad to hear about Real Musgrave's retirement.

Well, since 1994 FK is my all time favorite TV show and I still love it. Later it brought me to fandom.
I fell in love with Canada when I first visited Toronto, ON in 1998.
I have a passion for good and self created Tattoos and already have three.
I love to dance, especially bellydancing.
I'm very open-minded and love to try out/experience new things.
I have a passion for Kama Sutra and don't fear talking about it ;-)
I love well written fanfiction and prefer adult stories (f/m, f/f, m/m, m/f/m, f/m/f)
In RL I'm a medical secretary, living in an open relationship every now and then...

It's still my favourite show too :)

My bones are weird. I mean really weird and crooked. I sprained my ankle once and the ER doc looked at the x-ray and told me "We thought it was worse than a sprain, but then we realised it's just the way your foot's made."

seriously
