[BlondieK143]

Let's see - I've been wearing glasses since that stupid ass Vision Van came to school in kindergarten.

And some of us already knew that! ;)

[JohnKleeb]

12. I used to wear glasses too

Actually now that its been two months and I havent been doing illicit since, I can remember now you putting a pair of glasses on.

[BlondieK143]

16. Huh?

I don't think I put glasses on in front of you. :) Normally I just wear them around people I'm comfortable with. (not that I'm not with you, but I wouldn't after I first met you).

[JohnKleeb]

17. During Dinner I think that Saturday

[BlondieK143]

22. Nope.

Sorry. :D

[JohnKleeb]

29. Must have been one of those hallucinations again

[BlondieK143]

32. That's awesome!

Early congrats to you!! :hug: I'm pretty good, just stressed of course. Thank you for asking!

[JohnKleeb]

34. I was feeling a little stressed earlier

but got a step in the right direction and had my ego slightly boosted earlier too.

[BlondieK143]

35. That's always nice.

Ego boosts are wonderful! :D Glad that you're feeling better!

[JohnKleeb]

36. Yep

and I think its awesome how leanant they're being on us towards the end of the year, like some of the videos we have made for government, english, film class have really had a lot of great inneudo in there.

[Shrubhater]

116. Do you REALLY need glasses or contacts?

[Left Is Write]

26. I wear glasses too, since 1977.

I guess some people wouldn't know that, since my photos rarely include my glasses.

[Shrubhater]

33. That's the same year that Saturday Night Fever came out!!

DISCO INFERNO!!

[Cannikin]

27. I'm a student pilot (just posted this in another thread)

[trof]

30. What's the first airplane?

I was a pilot for something over 30 years.

[Cannikin]

31. Thats a Diamond 'Katana' DA-20

Here's a great link for it

http://www.avweb.com/news/reviews/182565-1.html

[Shrubhater]

28. I'm obsessed with disco and the 70's.

NIGHT FEVER!!!

[Butterflies]

94. Me too.

Mainly because those were my high school years when life felt cooler. I'd love to do a Fantasy Island trip to Studio 54!

[Shrubhater]

100. I'm only 14. What's weird is that the disco craze started in 1975

(in the U.S. The disco craze first started in France in 1973.), and I was born in 1991. I also LOVE to disco dance. YOU SHOULD BE DANCING!!(that's a song title, normally it's not in all caps. The song was done by the Bee Gees in 1976. It was used in the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. The movie Saturday Night fever came out in the fall of 1977. It was John Travolta's first feature film. In scene 12 of that movie, John Travolta (playing Tony Manero, an uneducated Italian teenager), preformed one of the most famous dance sequences in movie history. John Travolta trained for 9 months with those disco moves. In the movie, John Travolta makes disco dancing look easy, but in reality, it's very exhausting. (I know because I've disco danced before.)I once made a tape of the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, and on my tape recorder, I'm able to slow down the recording. When I slow down the song Night Fever, it will have a slow dance feel to it, instead of a high energy disco dance song. It's slowed down from the key of Db minor to A minor, not to mention the tempo is slowed too. I could just go on rambling about disco etc., but I will leave you here, because I'm probably boring you.)
On edit: :hi:

[Butterflies]

141. I love that movie

"Saturday Night Fever" is one of my favorites. :hi:

[Shrubhater]

142. Saturday Night Fever was the first R rated movie I ever saw.

It's also one of my favorite movies! Just 2 minutes short of two hours.(118 minutes):hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. I worked in outer space for almost 50,000 years before settling on Earth

I worked as a Level 7 Galactic Dust Collector for the Xanthes Space Reclamation Project. Pretty prestigious job, really, and some damn high level scientific research - as far beyond your Earth technology as you humans are beyond republicans - but when the Xanthes sun went nova, the paycheckes stopped coming in, so to speak. So I (and some others from the bunch of us who were still out exploring the galaxy) moved to Earth, and have pretty much stayed here for the last 200 centuries or so, with an occasional trip off-planet to see friends and cure the wanderlust for a moment and get out where we can fly at some decent speeds.

Your Earth speed limits measured in mere miles per mere hours is totally unsatisfying, for one used to passing stars in seconds.

[BlondieK143]

40. Interesting.

Anyone ever tell you that you have an amazing imagination? :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

49. Are you implying I made that up?

:evilgrin:

:grr:

Actually, yeah, people have said that to me. It's fun to play with the imagination!

[LynzM]

103. Ditto what Blondie said

You come up with some wildly nifty stuff, dude. I like it! :D

[enigmatic]

38. I'm enigmatic

Literally...

[leftofthedial]

39. I have NEVER made even a remotely musical sound

come out of a flute

[Madrone]

41. My father ran for poltical office.

3 times.

US Congess, and State Senate.

He lost each time, to a republican opponent.


on edit - I accidentally posted "2 times" - it was 3.

[Zomby Woof]

42. I am a sweetheart

[BlondieK143]

44. You're right...

who would've thought that one? :D

[Zomby Woof]

46. NOBODY!

Well, almost nobody. :P

[swag]

43. I am the god of hellfire.

And I do a good job.

[matcom]

47. YOU ARE COMPLETELY FULL OF SHIT!!

*I*,

MATCOM

am the ONLY LORD OF HELLFIRE!! :grr:

THIEF!! :grr:

and, you impostor.... its "LORD" of hellfire

GET IT RIGHT

[swag]

52. Yes, and we are all amused by your little boast,

as, no doubt, are your compadres at the daily coffee klatsch you attend at that K-Mark luncheonette outside of your honky town.

But you are a fraud. A charming fraud, but a fraud.

[Shrubhater]

110. How do you post in large text?

:shrug:

[bridgit]

48. and i bring you...

fire ~

[Redstone]

70. Is that Arthur Brown, as in "The Crazy World Of?"

Redstone

[bridgit]

73. oh yes sir, that is affirmative...

hey Redstone :hi:

[Redstone]

80. Hey, yourself. Thanks for the pic.

I don't think I'd ever seen what he looks like before.

Redstone

[tigereye]

85. strangely, Swag,

I believe you. You are a man of many surprises.

[swag]

92. Oh, my goodness.

Well thank you.

And now, for a question about Pittsburgh: Is the thrift-shopping still Total Fucking Godhead, as the young people used to say in 1988?

[tigereye]

95. hmmm

I used to do thrifting in Oakland, but there is not much there now. Several of the cool stores of my college years have closed. Several Goodwills, like the one in Bloomfield, are no more. I like to frequent the Red White and Blue stores ( excellent pickings) and there is a really good thrift store on Route 30 just over the Alleg County line. Lots of higher end stuff.

I have never heard the thrifting described in quite that way... but then I don't know much about the thrift stores in other cities.. Why, do you have some familiarity with our fair blue and watery city...? ;)

[swag]

97. Oh, I have been through Pittsburgh a few times, most recently

about 15 years ago. I had this friend who was always on about the thrift shopping in Pittsburgh, and she wouldn't stop talking about how great it was. But I never was able to find the what and the where.

I think all the good thrift shopping in the world has moved to Great Falls, MT.

[NoSheep]

45. I'm turned on by naked women. A few people know, but not a lot.

It's just not something you shout in line at the grocery store.:shrug:

[Shrubhater]

54. Are you serious???

:shrug: :hi:

[NoSheep]

68. Uh, yeah.

I think women are really sexy. They get me going. I think it's about connectiing to my own thing. :hi: :shrug: I'm happily hetero but I've had my experiences. Now I just look!:7

[Redstone]

69. Nothing wrong with looking. Also nothing wrong with

acting when you see someone you find attractive. I say this from the perspective of a married guy who has a wife who...

And it's OK with me. People are what they are, and their sexuality doesn't define who they are.

Be happy with whatever makes you happy.

Redstone

[Shrubhater]

106. .

(this post deliberatly deleted)

[Kathy in Cambridge]

50. I'm very rational , even tempered, and openminded

though authority in general likes to envision me as a troublemaker or a maverick.

[Shrubhater]

62. What's a maverick?

:shrug: :hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

51. I'm a closet hopeless romantic...

I'm a feminist on the outside but it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when a guy does something like hold a door open for me. Not sure if I like chivalry or just good manners though! :P

[Redstone]

56. There's a damn good reason not a lot of people know.

Redstone

[BlondieK143]

57. You're a very mysterious man.

I'd love to pick your brain for awhile. :D

[Redstone]

65. That's certainly an intriguing proposition, but there will

always be things that very few people know, and they're not telling.

Better for everyone that way.

Redstone

[Briarius]

60. Most things, really

I'm not very social or open, so most things about me are unknown. For example, I play tuba. How's it goin Blondie?

[BlondieK143]

61. I didn't know the tuba thing.

:) But I do know you're an exceptional guy!

I'm doing pretty well. How about you? :hug:

[Briarius]

63. aww, thanks!

I'm doing well! I've got all sorts of surprises!

[BlondieK143]

101. You're welcome!

And do share with the group!

Tell that wife of yours I miss her! :)

[LastKnight]

66. hm, lets see.

i wear glasses, since 5th grade, but yea, thats nothing too groundbreaking.

i play 3 instruments at performance level... but yet i refuse to pursue music in college. (i like it too much to study it formally)

i donno really what people are lookin for here, and im not quite sure how much people around know about me, anyway. lol at least not on DU.

-LK

[salin]

71. I was a manager for the football team one year in college.

[nuxvomica]

72. I won a special award in 8th grade

It was a big bronze medallion in a velvet box. I don't recall what it was or why I won it or where the damn thing is, though.

[sir_captain]

74. It was my 25th birthday today

well, yesterday, technically, here on the east coast

first quarter century out of the way!

[BlondieK143]

78. Happy late birthday!

Hope it was a good one! :toast:

[sir_captain]

86. Thanks, Blondie!

It was ok. I've had better--I've had worse. Had a very nice dinner with lots of friends, though, which was great.

[proud2BlibKansan]

75. I was Pep Club President

in high school.

I am embarrassed to admit it so even my closest friends don't know this.

But if you ever need someone to excite a crowd, I am available.

[orleans]

76. i'm writing an anti-bush administration play

working title: VENT

[bhunt70]

77. or MacBush?

[Shrubhater]

118. I was thinking of doing the same thing!

Dammit! You stole my idea! :argh:

[tjwmason]

79. I play the treble recorder

That's not the ghastly wee little one which gets given to young children (by the way). I don't play terribly well, but anyway my recorder is called Jemima.

[Patiod]

81. I used to play the glockenspiel

maybe that's why I like Springsteen so much - you can hear the glockenspeil in some of his older stuff (Born to Run)

[bertha katzenengel]

82. I want a tattoo.

:shrug:

[billyskank]

83. I'm a haemaphrodite.

:D

[tigereye]

84. boy that's a hard one to follow!

I was going to say that I was in a sorority in college.

Now you can say that you were a hermaphrodite in a sorority in college. Were you, BTW? ;)

[billyskank]

96. I was a haemaphrodite in both a sorority AND a fraternity

while in college. I was one of the few people who could pull that off!

[tigereye]

99. snort

or are you serious? ;)

[billyskank]

112. Well, this *is* the lounge!

;)

[tigereye]

119. that's kind of a cute image though

not sure if he's a boy or a girl... esp. in the frat and sorority houses. Sounds like Hedwig and the Angry Inch meets American Pie, or something.

[Trigger Hippie]

88. I smoke cigarettes when I drink...

shhhhhh... Don't tell my mommy.


:P

[BlondieK143]

93. My lips are sealed.

:D

And that's the only time I smoke.

[Shrubhater]

124. No you don't!

I know you dont! :hi:

[Sugar Smack]

89. Well, I'm really good at parallel parking

after a few tries.

[Redstone]

90. After a few tries? Don't tell me you're one of those people

who use the bumpers of the cars parked in front and behind to tell you when you've gone far enough...

Nah, not you. Forgive me for even thinking it.

You DO know that you have to BACK in, right?

Redstone

PS: Howzabout a new picture in the next pic thread? Not that I get tired of looking at the old one; just that it's a little dark, and washes out when someone lightens it for you...

[Sugar Smack]

91. Sure! I've got the 98-point turn down to a pat!

:D

A new pic, sure! For you, Redstone, I'll even smile.

[Redstone]

98. A smile would be peachy.

Let's see them pearly-whites.

Redstone

[RevolutionaryActs]

102. Um..... let's see.

I like Anime, and I can speak a tiny (and I mean tiny) bit of Japanese. :P

[sniffa]

127. OMG

you're an anime geek? :cry:



:loveya:

[Initech]

104. I'm a big Angels fan.

I practically live at Anaheim Stadium during the summer since my parents get season tickets.

[LynzM]

105. I used to lie about my grades in school....

I'd tell people I scored lower than I did, because I got sick of taking shit for it. Eventually, I quit doing that (college) and was ok with doing well, and screw it if that blows the curve :)

[Redstone]

120. Oh, so you were a curve-wrecker, too?

Man, Iused to get crap about that.

Redstone

[LynzM]

132. Yeah, dude, all the time.

I eventually learned to just be quiet about it... I'd tell if asked, but I never volunteered.

[Skittles]

107. I have donated blood and platelets hundreds of times

yes, HUNDREDS. :o

[Blue_In_AK]

108. My middle daughter put herself through college that way. n/t

[Skittles]

111. I do NOT get paid

you're thinking plasma - selling blood or platelets is illegal

[Blue_In_AK]

113. Oh, okay.

I just remember how awful I felt when she told me she was selling whatever it was to pay her bills, and I didn't have any money to send her.

[Skittles]

115. oh I would not feel bad about that at all, Blue

it means she has a good heart and she helped a lot of people. Believe me, it usually takes more than just needing the money for a person to volunteer to do that. I've known people who needed the money and they still did it only once!

You did a good job raising her! YES INDEED. And by the way, no one paid my way through college - I joined the military. :)

[Blue_In_AK]

121. Thanks for that, Skittles...

You couldn't be more correct about my daughter. She does have a good heart, and she worked really hard putting herself through school, all the way through law school, and now has a great job with one of LA's oldest and most prestigious law firms. I'm extremely proud of her.

[Skittles]

133. WOW - outstanding

and you know, Blue, she's got an edge over those folk who were handed everything. ABSOLUTELY.

[NuttyFluffers]

109. my favorite color really is 'clear.' n/t

:P

[BiggJawn]

117. That I'm actually a senstive insecure person.

Most people think I'm a boorish lout.

[Beware the Beast Man]

122. MMMM...a woman in glasses...

You just moved on to my crush list. :loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

123. I think I know who

Well its a tie.

[BlondieK143]

126. hehe

SWEET! :) Just what I've always wanted. :loveya:

[JohnKleeb]

128. My Aspergers syndrome duh

Hate it and at the same time I love it.
Hate it because its part of why I am so shy and socially ackward but the great part is its helped me memorize thigns well, stupid double edged sword thats responsible for me acing the government final.

[TK421]

129. I've been told that I look like Tom Hanks, only better looking

I don't think there's a resemblance at all, but that's what I've been told:eyes:

[BlondieK143]

140. Well...

let US be the judge. :D

[LeftyMom]

130. In high school my econ teacher called me Daria

I did bear a strong resembanace, both in looks and attitude.

Anything else? :P

[tjwash]

138. I like to listen to show tunes.

Cole Porter is my favorites...

[qnr]

139. I prefer Alpo to Ken-L-Ration n/t

[Lauri16]

143. I listen to classical music to help me fall asleep

I'm a metal head through and through, but that tends to keep me awake!
:headbang:
