i stole this from my facebook page because i am too influenced by your lists and now i would only write: yes, i do that too! :) so this is original.


1. Sometimes I talk so much I forget what I already said.

2. I play casual games a lot. a I am subscribed at PlayFirst and BigFishGames to have one game credit each moth.

3. I used to sing in several choirs and I am sorry I dont anymore. I miss singing.

4. I grew up in theatre, I studied theatre and I work in and for theatre.

5. When I have a good book, I can stay up till 3am to read it. (Happened with the last Harry Potter, for example).

6. I am the only child of my parents but I have a sister (Moms) and a brother (Dads) from their previous marriages.

7. I read Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens every Christmas.

8. I teach English. (shame I know.. but I do other stuff too and I love all of it:))

9. I studied drama classes for children, too. So I can have drama classes for kids at high school.

10. I play piano and I wanted to be a conductor (I mean the person waving in front of the orchestra). But theatre won :)

11. I can drive but I am afraid. I havent driven for 4 years.

12. I still keep some fluffy toys. And I still like getting them from special people.

13. I usually dont have problems to pick presents for people. If I know them well, it is easy.

14. I like and hate feeling responsible.

15. I wear glasses / contact lenses.

16. Every spring I get a hay fever and its horrible. But during winter I always forget how bad it is and I think: "Hay fever? That will not happen to ME again..." (and it does)

24. I know that money is not everything but if I were rich everything would be much easier.

25. I have always something to say but I rather keep quiet to calm things down.

It seem strange to me that we have revealed these things about ourselves but it is an oddly bonding experience too. I just hope I remember what things go with which people.. lol.

13. I have been to Ireland 1 time, I would really like to go back at least 1 more time before I get too old.

14. I ran away from home 4 times, but my mother found be and dragged me home. This went on until I was 24. I had to literally disappear.

18. I used to own the only polka dotted Ice Cream Truck in my area.

19. I graduated from college 3 years ago.

20. I sound like a guy when I go through Drive-thrus, or when I am talking on the phone, how do I know this, they always answer me "Yes Sir!"

21. I had a Gastric Bypass in 1990, It was great for about 12 years, but then, oh well, as you can see from my avatar, it has stopped working.

25. I love my kids, all three of them, with all their flaws. But I miss the three I can no longer have in my life.

1. My name is Pinky and I'm happily addicted to pc casual gaming. Hoping my family doesn't try to plan an intervention.
2. Happily married to the love of my life for 12 yrs., and he is my best friend.
3. Hubby is 10 yrs. younger than me, but looks older (he is all gray and I have only a very few) but he's still my Cutie-pie!
4. I retired early (at 54) after 30 yrs. in the work force as a mortgage loan processor/underwriter.  Bye-bye stress!  
5. I love my pc waaaaaayyyyy too much!!
6. Please don't talk to me until I've had my morning coffee.  
7. I am very much a 'homebody' and get homesick when I go away.  
8. I was once a cheerleader, but don't like sports (sorry Mizzmm, lol)
9. My mother was a well known (in our little town) dance instructor when I was a child. I took dancing classes in her studio from ages 3 thru 10, and performed solo every year in her recitals. Took all of it ~ ballet, tap, jazz, baton, acrobatics, toe.  I use to love to watch the adult class in ballroom dance. There was an old player piano. Very fond memories.
10. I have never lived alone, and never will. Was raised in a large family of 6 children and am use to having people around all the time. I do, however, like my alone time in short intervals, or long ones if I'm really hooked on a good game.
11. Gable is spot on!  I can relate to a few items from each and every list posted here!
12. I have three dogs ~ a 78 lb. Pittmix which we rescued after Katrina, a 17 lb. Poshie (Pom/Sheltie mix) who showed up on our doorstep and adopted us, and a small Shih-tzu who recently claimed us as his own.  My current avatar is Precious, my Poshie, and she's so true to her name.
13. I also have 7 cats. Didn't really plan this; had two and somehow inherited/adopted the others. Love them all dearly! I had to put my foot down and stop at this number because people are always bringing their strays here knowing we're softies for animals. (They're all fixed, so, no that number will not change, lol).
14. My children are both grown (35 and 36) and I have no grandchildren (except that they tell their cats and dogs that I'm Grandma, lol!) I've even been asked to 'babysit' a time or too.
15. I have a drivers license but don't drive (haven't in 3 yrs). The roads are just too dangerous out there with Latte and her big wheels on the loose!
16. My game/drug of choice right now is Totem Tribe. Odd, because I don't usually play rpg's. But it's so much more than just an rpg. I had to leave the house for the day yesterday and I missed my little scouts, shamans, and witchdoctors with long flowing hair, lol. My scouts had just learned to swim and I didn't want to leave them on their own for too long.
17. I'm a neat freak and I drive my family crazy.    Hubby tells everyone he can't get up in the middle of the night to go to the restroom or the bed'll be made when he comes back, lol.
18. I survived the blizzard of '79 in Chicago. It was a really bad one! (ljot remembers it too).
19. I am a Christian, and I love the Lord!
20. I can count my close friends (IRL) on one hand but once I make a friend it's usually for life. I have one I've been best friends with since age thirteen. I value my online friendships. They are just as important to me as the ones I know face to face.
21. I was a hippie in the mid to late 60's, but I never made it to Woodstock.
22. No, I've never been arrested. But if Latte keeps getting me in trouble with all her naughtiness that could change. lol.
23. I've owned five houses in my lifetime. In two different states. Two brand new and three resales. (Residences, not investments). Can you tell I'm getting stuck here?   Only two more to go!
24. Yes, I am a smoker.      Hi DB, Gable, and Jeny!!
25. I'm a native Texan, born and raised on the Gulf Coast.  I love my seafood!      (surprise, surprise).

Ok, Latte, now willya leave me alone so I can go play with my scouts? lol.
Go pick on Rob. I don't see his list yet.

Mwaaaahaaahaaa!!!!!!

Yikes, I don't know if I have 25 things

I'm an old broad

My husband is 3 yrs younger than I am

I didn't get married until I was 31...to busy with my career

I used to be a buyer for a Dept. store.

after spending years walking around NYC in high heels and having to soak my poor feet in cold water

I hate to shop

I have two wonderful kiddos who we managed to raise to be totally awesome adults

My oldest graduated from college in May and is a nurse in Calif. working in the pediatric ICU at UCLA Medical center. I don't know how she does it...they get really, really sick babies there and she has seen things I don't know if I would be able to handle, but she is very good at what she does.

My youngest is a senior in college in Az. majoring in history, not sure what she is going to do with it yet, but she also has taken 4 yrs. of sign language so maybe she can tie the two together somehow. I can see her in a museum doing something I think.

sheesh that's only 8

I am Mom to lots of fur kids..one large yellow lab, 3 elder kitties,2 grandkitties when the girls are home, 2 birds, a fish, and tons of wildlive outside that I feed everyday. I have a couple of huge squirrels among the gang I feed that run aross the lawn when they see me in the morning and take peanuts out of the cup of feed that I give them each day.

I used to have a mallard pair of ducks that came every year in April for about 6 yrs and would sit underneath my huge pine tree everyday, I fed them goose food. I know it was the same pair because the male had a limp. They quit coming when the foxes moved into the neighborhood...now the foxes are gone because the coyotes moved in...and we live in the city for heaven's sake.

I love to read

I love to garden

I love stirring the pot when it's snowing outside, making stew or soup so it fogs up the windows

I love puzzles, I do the crossword in the paper everyday...helps to keep the brain juices flowing.

I love playing computer games but get frustrated when my old hands aren't fast enough.Thank goodness for Jen and all the others that have helped me through the years to figure out other ways to get to the goal with their walkthroughs.

I'm really addicted to what is going on with politics and talk(yell) at the TV regularly.

Oh and I'm the crazy lady of the neighborhood cause I walk around with earphones in my ear listening to talk radio walking the dog, gardening, getting the mail, etc.



I don't think that's 25 but I guess that's pretty much me now.

I absolutely enjoy this thread. Very nice tidbits, all of you. Junks, I would fall down for Richard Gere any day of the week!

Lol Junks, too funny. I also tend to fall down a lot. I just fell down crossing a busy street three weeks ago. That was at the beginning of the night, before the heavy drinking! Even though you didn't fall down purposely that is a good idea. As long as the cute guy is a gentleman and doesn't just laugh as he walks on by!
