Tell Me Something.....

[momwithptsd]

I have a hard time letting people get close. I let them get to a certain point and then I back off. I always worry that if someone really gets to know me, they will discover all my flaws....and run the other way. I find myself doing that online too...if anyone on this forum has wondered why I am friendly and then just completely stop interacting altogether......now you know why. Sorry.

Working a part time job is physically and emotionally draining for me, but I keep working anyway.

I love the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes". I have watched it numerous times.

I love that movie, I could watch it over and over and never get bored with it.

I hate technology. It has just taken me over an hour to create an iTunes account to buy music. Aaaargh

iTunes is evil. I have had no end of problems with my computer because when iTunes updates it does weird things to Windows. I never let it install anything other than itself, but it still manages to mess things up anyway. Unfortunately, it is an easy way to get music online. (sigh)

I love the color green, and really dislike the color yellow.

It is also v dangerous on the pocket. All that click and buy, I could get carried away. However it is cheaper than a new handbag (I love Radley) and is part of my de stressing tactic for tomorrows dental work.

Sending you warm comfy hugs and good healing vibes for your dental work. I am a complete coward, which my dentist knows only too well.

I have actually been comforted more in the dental chair by the DDS and his staff when the floodgates were opened by the Novocaine, and I had a complete breakdown right there, than I was by my friends afterward. I thought, wow, what a great dentist! (And wow, what lousy friends, lol.)

I guess it just makes sense that people who work in dentistry know a lot about how to deal with pain. Let them baby you all they can, they are good at it. I really like the bubble-gum flavored laughing gas. Once I actually started laughing in the dental chair. I said, is the gas on too high? They said, Um, no, we haven't turned it on yet!

I have a phobia about driving over bridges that I've been working on. I can do it with someone in the car with me, but by myself I still panic.

I only wear black socks...not sure why though, it's just another one of my quirks.

I would much rather drive at night than during the day.

I have had the same job for over 3 years yet I still get anxious before I go to work.

I started smoking cigarettes when I was 11 yrs old.

Babies make me nervous....they're so helpless and vulnerable...

This is quite a brilliant strategy. They pretty much go with everything, you can mix and match them very easily, and they don't show the dirt if you forget to wash them a day or two (or more!) in a row. They are a little hard to find in the dark, but if you grab two, you'll always get a match!

1. I have done 42 different types of jobs to earn money (yes, I made a list, and stopped at 42 because that's just crazy!)
2. I fancy myself the world's best shower singer (though many would disagree, not that there's a lot of people in there to hear me when I'm singing)
3. I do not know how to ride a bicycle

• I absolutely love my wifes homemade chocolate chip cookies..mmmmmmmm!!!
• I own 8 motorbikes 2 cars and 1 van, and just a tad fixated by things with engines,
• I used to be indecisive but I'm not sure now!!!!
• I once met The Queen at Buckingham Palace to receive a medal.
• I'm not particularly religious, but think Ezekiel 25:17 from the bible is brilliant.. Probably because I like Pulp Fiction (the movie)..

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."

I've been a service plumber for 12 years, still to this day I get worried I didn’t do something right.

I have no short term memory; I have to write everything down. Give it 4 weeks I can tell you what happened 4 weeks ago by the minute, from memory. Ask me what happened at noon today I wouldn’t be able to tell you unless I read my notes.

I get anxiety over my job, whenever someone congratulates me on being a good employee I tend to lose that job by getting laid off, or fired!

I love to repair broke things. Radios, Transmitters, Electric/Gas toy or super-sized (Caterpillar Diesel) Motors.

I make cider & bamboo flutes.

I love to bake peanut butter cookies.

I LOVE TO EAT THEM TOO!!

I make barbed wire

My last dentist visit was to be fitted for new dentures, and have a calcium deposit grinded off my lower jaw done without pain killers/Novocain.

I liked that passage, 1966, except for the kind of bloodthirsty bit at the end. :) I just think God would probably have more fun turning all those evil types into some form of animal which has to clean all the private parts with the tongue- makes me more interested in the whole reincarnation thing.

Back in high school ( this was in the 70's, when things were quite lax, you have no idea ) we generally had some sort of kegger going on in the woods. The police occasionally showed up, took everyone's name and phone number so they could call our parents and just told everyone to go home. I always, always gave the name of a girl who had been nasty to me all through Juniour High. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

I discovered today that I dare to protest in public! I was carrying a electric blowhorn and made a lot of noise with it, to give sound to my anger. I was a one woman protest in a crowd of people who were silently angry, while some official goverment people were speeching. It was scary to the bone to have all this attention and irritation from the official speakers, focussed on me, but man it sure feels good that I dared to do it!!!
Whoeha!
(still amazed and still trembling though)
