I enjoy bowling.  It is one of my favorite activities to do.  I also like to skeet shoot.   And I am very good at both.

I love puppies and kittens but am allergic to most dogs and cats.

When weather permits, my favorite thing to do is lay outside at night and look for shooting stars so that I can make wishes.  It is my meditation time.

Back when I was a Boy Scout I used to buy horsemeat steak at 19 cents a pound to cook over a campfire, just for the learning experience. Tasted like beef to me.

When I used to do a lot of hiking in the mountains I caught a spruce grouse, just walked up to it while it was roosting in a tree, grabbed it by the legs, relieved it of its life, skinned, gutted and roasted it over a campfire. It tasted like spruce. Another learning experience, something to relate on a future post to the internet world.

My Quebecoise gf kept trying to feed me strange food, just to see if I had a sense of adventure. Her weirdest was calf's brains. Tasted pretty much like scrambled egg. I'd eat it again.

3 things --

My summer time mantra is -- Sleep, eat, ride motorycle, repeat

I enjoy a well played game of hockey regardless of who is playing.

I'm a beer snob. If it is brewed by one of the giants (Inbev, Molson-Coors, Miller, etc), I'm not really interested in even trying it. If the beer is produced by an independent, regional or local brewery, I'll give it a try. The darker the better.

I have a snake (a four-foot cornie).

In my other life, I am a published author, in print and online, with over seven million readers.

I'm what some would call an accomplished Classical pianist and was offered a partial scholarship to attend NYU, but decided to attend a different university.  In the 20 years since, I still play classical, but also enjoy jazz and can pretty much play anything.   

I let drugs get in the way of my university studies and ended up quitting to join the army.  Part of the reason I quit was to piss off my mother.

When I was 16, a couple of friends and I hopped a train.  Planned on Chicago but we started thinking what a bad idea it was when we were halfway there.   Got off in Kalamazoo and my dad came and picked us up.   He never told my mom or any of the other parents.

When I was 16 one of the football squad started dating me. I was open to it for social reasons, and because I wasn't sure about my sexual preferences. What initially was a pleasant association turned bad one night while parked at the local lovers's Lane and he not only demanded sex from me, but started to make me have sex with him despite my objections.

I managed to get out of the vehicle and started to run, not easy in a skirt and heels on a gravel road. And he was faster. I turned as I heard him approaching and did what I had been taught, a simple stop kick to his leading knee. I broke his knee.

I was not a popular girl in school for the rest of my high school years.

I have defended a lover from an unwanted advance by force.

I have a distinct issue with anger about people who want to force others to their will.

1. I've totalled a $100,000 car that I didn't own.
2. I have a light form of social anxiety that makes me cry during job interviews.
3. I been in a REAL sword fight.

You may not have been in the "IN" crowd anymore, but I bet that you had a lot of people secretly wishing that they were you.

Got some good or bad news for you (in case you didn't know).
Horse meat is better for you than beef.
And yes it does taste the same. I've eaten it in Liege.
(and that's damn difficult to do, when you are buying horses and then eating them that same night)....Major guilt trip..!!!!!!!

Love,
Liz

 "I been in a REAL sword fight."

At the company I worked for we had a retired officer from the U.S. Navy who for his final few years served as the commanding officer of the USS Constitution "Old Ironsides" in Boston, which was basically a ceremonial post. He was a handsome swashbuckler, and had a prominent scar on one cheek. It was never established with any certainty that this was from a pirate cutlass, but the effect was certainly convincing. Just goes to show the Navy has a soft spot for romantic illusions.

My grandfather worked for a rendering company. One of their raw material sources was dead stock from off farmers' fields. One advantage to horsemeat is I expect no bovine growth hormones. The steaks I remember were not much marbled with fat, and mostly free of any of the gristle that is found in supermarket fare these days. Just very red, juicy meat, not as tender as tenderloin, but quite chewable.

[Dav3e]

1. I've never been "formally trained" to do anything.
2. I have to keep my hair either fairly long or really short or else I have to put up with everyone insisting I look like Seth Rogen. Not horrible but it gets old hat.
3. I will cook food without being asked or prompted, if it's there to be cooked. Even if I'm not eating.

I didn't sustain any lasting damage. We still run into one another from time to time. Though out of respect for family we have made amends.

Although I dislike violence, there are times in a young man's life when he thinks he must defend his honor, and this can lead to physical combat. It nothing fatal ensues, it is a wonderful thing to see the combatants make peace when their heads have cooled, and often this can lead to mutual respect and friendship.

Are we to take it then that you are a scoundrel and the devil incarnate? Confess! and I will forgive you.

[ChirpingGirl]

1: I have medical issues I haven't told any of my family about because if they knew they'd freak the fuck out and treat me like I was going to kick the bucket at any second.

2: I have three daughters. One I made when I was so wasted I literally thought I was flying at the time she was made. One I didn't make, but she's mine and I'll slap anyone who says otherwise. And I consider my wife's daughter to be mine as well.

3: Six years ago when I was a broken hearted and retarded teenager, and just before I got knocked up, I was on my way to being a drug addict. When I found out I was pregnant I never had anything worse than a glass of wine again, and not while I was knockers.

LOL.  I actually wrote a "things you don't know about me" post.  I read it.  I thought about it.  I deleted it.  There are some things that just do not need to be committed to writing, and a few things about myself I will likely carry to the grave.

Well Toe, whatever these indiscretions may have consisted of, you have at least washed them in the cleansing waters of reflection, so you don't need to say any more.
