    My Mum is always saying to me, "You're too kind" :rolleyes: Is there even such a thing? : D

    I don't know what else I can add really, it's not like folks around here don't know me already. : D

    I'll give it a go I guess.

    1) I love the moon and stars and anything to do with nature

    2) I try my hardest not to spread negativity, anger or hate. Not always successful but I'm always striving for that end. :)

    3) I love Elmo!

    4) I love singing and dancing.

    5) I don't like the fuzz of a peach getting on my tongue! :eek:
    This is my favourite list so far :) Especially the peach fuzz bit. yugh.

    I miss the stars when I'm in London. Can't see shit what with all the pollution :( I hate looking out the window and all I see is grey and black.

    1) I've a couple of degrees, but hasn't everyone these days
    2) I'm distantly related to John Lennon, apparently
    3) I play twelve string guitar
    4) I'm a vegetarian
    5) I have a terrible temper, and it was worse when I ate meat

    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    I commend you...I know I have been a giant ball of negativity lately. :(

    Well I haven't noticed you spreading it around, so you must be doing pretty good at keeping it to yourself. :)

    I figure we all have peaks and troughs. So we all get negative at times, it's a perfectly human way to be. I just hide out like an ogre in a cave for the most part when it hits me! :D

    Hope you're feeling a bit brighter soon lb. :) ((HUGS))
    NOPE!!!

    'here we can get to know each other. to stay ON TOPIC, post 5 things MINIMUM about yourself that will help us get to know you! be nice and please keep it decent!!!'

    1. I have recovered from memory loss by hanging out here, which is an opposite effect compared to the norm "pit"experience.

    2. I teeter between: it is quite possible that I'm crazy and holy sh*t, that's my eye on "Riot Act".

    3. I'm at the acceptance stage of the grief/loss Pearl Jam cycle, and ready to move on.

    4. An outstanding piece of business that keeps me coming back is a marriage contract I have with a Pit member.

    5. I am bored out of my brain when I visit this site and appreciate the wit, wisdom, and humour of some Members.

    Edit: Poloroid eye on "Lost Dogs" not "Riot Act".

    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    Thanks J. :) I hate that stuff on my tongue! Makes me SHUDDER! I'm the only person I know that peels peaches. :rolleyes: :D


    :( that's a real shame about the stars, I don't get so good a view of them here in suburbia but it's good enough as far as I'm concerned and I make sure and get myself out to the bush as often as possible so I can lie out and stare up at the sky for hours. :)
    NOPE!!!

    1. I am a mother of 3 beautiful little girls

    2. I've been a cocktail waitress in a dive bar for the last 15 months and I gave my notice last week so Saturday is my last night. :D

    3. I wait tables at the most expensive restaurant in town before I go to my cocktailing job and sometimes I wait on the same people in the same night! That's always a little awkward/funny to me.

    4. I don't like beer, never have, but I've learned to appreciate Belgian Ale lately. I'm more of a red wine girl

    5. I'm 31 years old and my 'husband' and I have been together for 10 years. We aren't married, just living in sin. ;)
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    I am currently in love with Jonathan Rhys Meyers and James McAvoy.

    Basketball is my favorite sport and pretty much the only sport I pay attention to. Mav's and SEATTLE Sonics.

    I love my niece, she is my entire world, and the closest I will ever get to calling a child my own, since I never want kids.

    I am a bit obsessed with designer sunglasses and heels, I also love purses.

    My most favorite place in the entire world in Discovery Park in Seattle. That is correct, the location of the Hunger Strike video. It's beautiful! I've been all over Asia, Europe soon, and North America, but nothing in this world is more perfect than that beach.
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.
