The Best Of

cinema_babeSince I've been doing a good bit of navel gazing lately, I thought it might be fun to re-post my first LiveJournal Post. Back in October no one even knew that I was here let alone who I was. (Okay, so still no one knows who I am, including me!)
And yeah, I'm ripping off Howard Stern too, heh-heh.
Anyway, here, behind an LJ cut because it's longish, is My first LJ entry. I have added on to a couple of the points and that is duly
noted. Enjoy!

music: The Foo Fighters - Times Like These
I’ve been thinking of starting a blog for a while and I have no idea how long it’ll hold my short attention span. Here is the merest sliver of who I am:
1. I am the eldest of 2 children.
2. I have no living children and never will.
3. I have been married once. I think that was my lifetime quota.
4. I love to write but can’t punctuate worth a damn.
5. I have lived in New Jersey my whole life and love it here.
6. I swear like a sailor (or truckdriver or librarian or whatever)
7. I love to read, classics are my favorite.
8. My favorite color is deep, clear cobalt blue.
9. I have a sexy voice and laugh (so people tell me)
10. I find it easier to joke around men because I think women take things too seriously. (Yes, I know this is a generalization…..)
11. Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo and Thomas Hardy are my favorite authors. I have read every book written by all three of them (most of them more then once.)
12. I am both fat and beautiful. The “F” word freaks a lot of people out. Sucks to be them. It’s a description, not a slur.
13. I am a movie fanatic; if it’s on film I’ve probably seen it. Feel free to hit me up for suggestions and about what to rent or see.
14. I’ve seen The Godfather over a dozen times. I still jump when Fredo gets killed.
15. I am a technoholic. I will never have a computer beefy or fast enough; never have a flash drive too big. Technology is my crack
16. I know how to bake bread and I’m pretty good at it.
17. My 3 favorite places on earth are (1) Cape May, New Jersey, USA; (2) Bermuda; (3) Laying on the deck of a cruise ship in the middle of the Atlantic on the way to Bermuda
18. I will carry a purse until it literally falls apart and then I will spend weeks trying to find the perfect one again because I know it will have to last years.
19. The Foo Fighters are amazing. Ben Folds is amazing. The Clash was amazing. God bless you Joe Strummer.
20. I don't like hot weather. I would rather be cold and snuggled under a blanket than sweating and trying to stay cool.
21. I hate camping. I hate the bugs, the lack of bathrooms, and smoke from the fire. Give me a hotel room any day.
22. I love to surprise people with gifts.
23. Did I mention that I hate the term BBW? Not every fat woman is beautiful and not every beautiful woman is fat. I see the two as independent concepts. Articulating this does not endear me to people.
24.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yohannon is one of the coolest people alive. I bow to his awesomeness (And no, you don’t really know me)[edit to add: he subsequently friended me and I almost swooned. I cannot articulate why I find him so fascinating, but I do.]
25. I am terrified to fly in an airplane.
26. I have a severe phobia of snakes. Spiders are not a bother. I am allergic to bees
27. I am a cancer survivor. To save my life, my doctors performed a radical hysterectomy which left large scar that runs from my navel down to my pubic bone. [edit to add: I usually mention to people at some point, that I was sick and needed major surgery. If I end up getting naked with them, the scar isn't a total surprise. I have decided though, that if anyone over 16 ever questions it, I'll tell them I got it in a bar fight. It just sounds more colorful.]
28. Feminism is about making life choices. Pick a traditional path, be a trailblazer, we need both kinds of women in society, it’s all good. I think old school feminism has lost sight of this.
29. I am a very sensual and sexual person. Having a hysterectomy *did not* change that (thank god!) I'm always searching for my next orgasm
30. I am pro life but in Roman Catholic sort of way. I think that capital punishment is wrong and I think abortion is wrong. I have no problem with the concepts of wealth, class or status *but* believe that one must pay a just, livable wage to one’s employees. (Google “Pax Christi”) I am not threatened, upset or freaked out by people who disagree with me; I believe that reasonable, decent people can disagree on these issues. However, there must always be room for dialog. [edit to add: I am love being exposed to viewpoints that are different then mine. it's how I grow intellectually. If you want me to tell you why I believe I'll be happy to. If you want to convince me I'm wrong, please don't insult either one of us.]
31. I piss Liberals off with my conservative viewpoints (see #30) and I piss Conservatives off with my liberal viewpoints. I eschew all labels except one: Human.
32. I love driving and want to drive cross country
33. I will talk to anyone about my belief system in an appropriate situation but I think proselytizing sucks. [edit to add: Did I mention I was raised in a cult?]
34. I am a bundle of contradictions wrapped in soft brown skin.
35. I love coffee, the taste as well as the buzz. I used to smoke.
37. I can’t wiggle my nose but I can arch my right eyebrow
38. My favorite drink is a Jack and Coke with 2 lime wedges or a screwdriver made with fresh squeezed orange juice.
39. I don't like the taste of beer.
40. If you think you know who I am, I assure you, you don’t.
41. I am a Gemini; we are the bullshit artists of the Zodiac. I am a writer and talker extraordinaire
Perhaps I will post another 41 some day.

Date: 2006-03-12 03:52 pm (UTC)I really enjoyed reading this post. Thank you.
Re: #3, after my divorce in November of '04, I too vowed I shall never get married again. I know this has cost me when women I dated found this out about me.
Re: #12, You may or may not be surprised at how many men there are out there for whom some "extra baggage" is not an issue. Not all of us think the whole skinny Hollywood image of women is attractive. At all. For me, I do not even have a physical "type" to which I am attracted. (I've dated women of nearly every ethnicity, and I just love women) With me, if I cannot have an intelligent conversation with a woman, I have zero interest, even if she looked like Halle Barry (one of my faves to look at). Brains are number one for me. Anything else is a distant second.
Re: #27, I love scars, because they remind us that we survived something. I do not have any as large as yours, but my body is covered with them. One woman I dated had a series of scars on her body from a series of operations, and was very self-conscious about them. I let her know the above, and that I would never be repelled by something like a scar. Just like the brain is the thing that attracts me, it is also the only thing that could repulse me.
Re: #29, I was always a very libidinous person, but surviving my heart attack put things into overdrive. I am worse now at 41 than I was at age 19. Maybe it was the whole "near-death" thing.
Re: #34, a quote from Walt Whitman springs to mind: "If I contradict myself, so I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes."
Re: #40, there is a Japanese proverb that says a person has three hearts. The first, they keep in their hand, and that is the one they show the world. The second, they keep in their mouth, and only show to family and friends. The third heart is hidden, and only shared between that person and their gods.
Finally, anyone who can use "eschew" correctly will get my vote every time.
