So, after reading Murdy's plea for a greater sense of community in these parts, more especially through an effort to get to know its members a bit better, I thought it might be a good idea to get that particular ball rolling with this here thread. This would be helpful to me, if no one else, just because I have zero history on flame boards and most of you are therefore strangers to me.
I chose to drop this in the BG because I can't assume this kind of thread won't be a rich vein to mine for those who carry a blowtorch in their back pocket.
Allow me to be the first hamster down the pipe.
1. I'm French-Canadian. Yeah, I'm a frog. And, if you give me any heat over this, I'll sic H.C. Trouble on yo ass.
2. I have 1,275 books on my Kobo eReader; I've read about 100 so far. Of those, about 20 were worth my time.
3. I wore my first pair of high heels when I was 3 years old. Freud has the right of it: my feet and legs slipped through the straps until my ass was sitting on the shoes.
4. I once had a glass of champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris; two days later, I was passed out at 4 a.m. in Leicester Square in London. A chunnel train ride must've been involved at some point.
5. My father was a child psychologist. This explains a lot of things.
6. A bottle of red wine lasts me three weeks. I don't drink beer and I don't smoke pot. Not regularly, anyway. I don't partake of any other psychotropic substance and never have. My own mind freaks me out enough as it is.
7. I've saved half a dozen lives so far by administrating naloxone and providing rescue breaths to people who've overdosed. Part of the job.
8. I'm an absolute film nut, a total science fiction geek, and a game board collector (even though I never have anyone to play with).
9. I never married. Not the marrying kind. I'm too BoHo. This being said, my four longest relationships all lasted just over seven years, and I've remained friends with all my ex-girlfriends.
10. I love to pamper the gal in my lfe and I fancy myself a consummate househusband. This includes giving her a pedicure and hand-washing her unmentionables. That's just how I roll.
Anybody else want to give this a go? Murdy? Freud? Bueller?
