I work three jobs right now, and just put all of my money in the bank (besides my current living expenses). When I have $50,000 saved, I am going to quit my job, spend six months (approximately) hiking the Appalachain Trail, and then move into an intentional living community.

I have been to several colleges, and still take community classes in various subjects, but I dont have a degree in anything. I was an English/Journalism major.

49. Not a big fan of dolls either....
Knew a girl in college that (unbeknownst to me) collected them. The first time I went to her apartment to study for mid-terms, I walked in to, literally, hundreds of dolls staring at me from shelves, curios, etc... The walls were freakin' COVERED!!!! Gave me the heebies so bad we had to go to IHOP to study! But at least they weren't clowns!

55. I had an ex who moved in with her grandma to help take care of her a few years back...
her grandma collected procelin dolls. And had done so for quite some time. So the entire house was just COVERED with them.

Needless to say, any fooling around that was done was done over at my place. :P

39. My stuff

Eve

2. How old are you?

56

3. What is your sexual orientation?

I just realized (admitted to myself) at this late stage of my life that I am a lesbian and not bi as I thought I was. It explains my two divorces. ;)

4. Tell us something interesting about yourself

I was married twice both times for exactly 11 years. The first woman I really fell in love with decided *he* was a man in a woman's body so we are just friends now. I've given up on romance completely. :rofl:

5. Did you go to college/grad school? If so where and what was your major?

I graduated from SDSU with a BA in Performance Art and Theatre Design. I was getting my grad degree in Film Arts when I became disabled. Now I take ceramics classes when I can and am getting a solid medical education from visiting so many doctors.

46. OK, here I am


1. What is your first name?
Starts with S, 'cause I'm shy.

2. How old are you?
Old enough to know better. Young enough not to care.

3. What is your sexual orientation?
Straight.

4. Tell us something interesting about yourself.
I lack that gene that lets you taste really bitter stuff. So, I don't mind the taste of that supposedly-disgusting tasting nail-polish that is intended to stop you from biting your nails. I resorted to painting them an unappetizing shade of blue until I kicked the habit. Bonus side effect: I love Brussels sprouts.

5. Did you go to college/grad school? If so where and what was your major?
Just finishing a biology degree and applying to grad school.


Nice to meet all of you. :hi:

4. Tell us something interesting about yourself

I lived in South Africa during the late apartheid era, where as an African American, I was usually taken for a black South African. I did research at a university and joined a UDF affiliated organization. Purely by accident, one day, I was sort of caught in the middle of a firefight in a parking of a hospital that erupted between rival political organizations. Along with many other people, I hid under a window in the small, cramped emergency room. A few minutes later, I saw the victims wheeled in, and saw several people die of gunshot wounds right before my eyes.

I've also met three heads of state but only one while he was in office and that was a ceremonial head of state of a tiny country. My old prof from college, a prominent Nigerian, introduced me to Namdi Azikiwe, the first president of Nigeria. I actually had a long chat with the current president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki, and my then boss, back in the 80s, when Mbeki was an obscure ANC bureacrat based in Zambia. And I had tea with the Governor General of Grenada in the early 90s.

5. Did you go to college/grad school? If so where and what was your major?

college, graduate school and law school.

I was born the day the space shuttle Challenger exploded (hence my avatar - I have kind of a weird fascination with the space program because of that, I guess); also, I studied for three weeks at the University of Cambridge when I was 17 and got to go inside the stone circle at Stonehenge as part of my archeology class. :) It was awesome.

5. Did you go to college/grad school? If so where and what was your major? Currently a senior at W&M, majoring in Anthropology.

Response to Original message
118. I'm sorry, I can't be concise so this is a little babbly...
1. What is your first name? Connie (Connonym is a word I made up as a word to describe a Connie -- you know a word like antonyms and homonyms. However, some other yahoo has TM'ed the word as something that reminds one of something totally different. I do object since I was using the word first but I have to say that I also like their definition). Oh wait, you just wanted to know WHAT my name was :-P

2. How old are you? I will soon be a ripe and luscious 42. I may not be the best visual representation but I'm at my peak flavor!

3. What is your sexual orientation? Straight but definitely curious and held back only by fear and lack of opportunity. Fear as it relates to catholic guilt, hellfire and damnation but mostly fear of making my mom have a heart attack and die.

4. Tell us something interesting about yourself. Hmm. I'm a smart ass but it's a defense mechanism because I was the fatty, fatty 4 eyes who never had a date in high school.

5. Did you go to college/grad school? If so where and what was your major? One of the biggest regrets of my life -- I got accepted to Marquette University with a partial scholarship but we got absolutely zero advice about financial aid and student loans and I was a stubborn little piggy and said if I couldn't go to my #1 pick I wasn't going to college at all. I sure showed me! Since then I've acquired enough credits to be 2nd year plus got a technical college certificate.

147. I went to Space Camp the first time.
The second time I went to Space Academy. It was more in depth and scholarly than Camp. There were also trainers and simulators that you aren't allowed on until you go to Academy because of physical development issues. I would totally do it again, even at 31. I had the best time and if we ever have a kid I would love to send them.

Not a one of them is true! Well, most anyway hehe), that same court declared me a genius and as having had the highest IQ recorded in the Morris county at the time (true story lol), I had the love of my life pass away unexpectedly recently, and with all that I still try to go to bed each night with a smile. Oh yeah, I also play the keyboard and write love songs. :P

4. I was once questioned by the FBI regarding my political activities. (Which consisted of typical volunteer and campaign work; they were basically just fishing for someone wiling to accidentally or willingly reveal dirt on the progressive organization for which I was working- whose activities were completely above board, as far as I know. Made me trust the FBI even less than I did before.)

162. My answers
1. What is your first name?

I am normally called Mike; Michael is my legal middle name; my legal first name is James.


2. How old are you?

57


3. What is your sexual orientation?

Straight Male


4. Tell us something interesting about yourself

I am telling something that I think is perfectly appropriate in response to a post which asks our sexual orientation. If it is appropriate to ask about and discuss sexual orientation, then it is appropriate to share what I am sharing here.

Since adolescence I have had an attraction to women with body hair. Hairy legs have been my favorite, but I also like hairy arms, armpits, etc. I have for a long time wished that women, in non-trivial numbers, would let their body hair grow out, and have never been able to understand why just about anything should be acceptable in our society except for natural body hair on women.

I find very sexy a woman with body hair who likes and is not ashamed of her natural state and her natural hair.


5. Did you go to college/grad school? If so where and what was your major?

My BA degree was in Mathematics; my MS degree was in Computer Science. Both were from San Diego State University.

178. OK
1) Maureen
2) 42 ... oh, wait, 43 (I really still wanted my age to be the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything)
3) het
4) I am a second generation 3rd culture kid ... that's someone who grew up outside of their country of origin/citizen (lots of military kids are TCK's). My mom grew up in Columbia (in Medellin, no less) and I grew up in Beirut, Lebanon (what is it with my family and places we live becoming violent disasters :)) - left in 75 after a year of the civil war. Most interesting events there - being evacuated during the 6 day war and then the true start of the civil war violence which was a bomb blowing up in the office building across the street from our apartment. When we left Beirut in 75 we first went to Greece and while we were in Athens there was a total lunar eclipse the same night we went up on the Acropolis to view it in the moonlight - a guy on my floor in the dorms at UCSB was in Athens on the Acropolis the same night.
5) 2 years UCSB; BA Sociology and Psychology UCR; Graduate Certificate Women's Studies, MA Psychology, and PhD Social/Health Psychology SUNY Stony Brook (now Stony Brook University)
