Birdlover11, you sound so much like me when i was your age. By the way, unfortunately, i'm still phobic about medical things in general and need to be sedated for most everything. (oddly enough i'm not squeamish...like if someone were half maimed, i could care for them with a clear head and not be too grossed out. it's more that i don't like feeling 'helpless'.)

I also share with JerseyWendy that i hate lying, deceitfulness, etc. I handle frankness better than sugar coating in most circumstances. I think a lot of animal lovers hate lying.

I am a 'recovered speed-oholic'. I used to not be able to help myself, driving at very high speeds, needing the 'rush'. I FORCED myself to get that under control because i don't want to hurt myself or anyone else (or get tickets). I used to have season passes to Six Flags each year and went on coasters most weekends to get my fill of the rush or i felt almost a withdrawl. I still tend to have a restless, independent streak in me but with age, it is way toned down!

***i just re-read this and said to myself....so what are you saying?? you are a nervous control freak??? hahaha

Fun thread...

Well let's see what I'm willing to admit ; )

I tend to be anti-social (I like to say selectively social)
I don't like to be in the sun
I hate artificial light and prefer dim or darkness
I tend to be quite impulsive and spend too much money
It doesn't take much to annoy or irritate me

That'll do! lol

This is getting scary! I share all of the above with you guys (who knew about other Sharpie hoarders?) and I'm also a chronic crafter. In addition: history of all kinds, but especially local history and genealogy; family full of OCD (which is funny - one half are obsessive tidiers and the other half are obsessive spreaders and distributors); gardener; love being on my own; talk to myself (and reply); lots and lots of long, thick hair; still a hippie, even after all these years.

PS. The Beaks are squawking 'La Traviata' at me as I type. I like Italian opera too!

O yes, YES JerseyWendy! Growing up is only for old people and I have no plan to do it ever. I still read kids' literature and enjoy 'sorting' through my kids' old toys.
