2. I like The Golden Girls

Untrue! The Golden Girls is brilliant. Raunchy, intelligent, way ahead of it's time, and absolutely hysterical. Only people who've never seen it think it's tame.

 

[BolianAuthor]

Oh, I grew up watching the show with my parents, and I also loved it... but very few who did will admit it in public, lol.

 

[Bears Discover Fire]

10. Due to a relatively rare heritary condition, I've continued to grow physically well past adolescence. At 21, I suddenly grew 2 inches taller in 6 months. At 28, I'm finally reaching my 'adult' size. Before this condition manifested itself, my pediatrician projected I would be no more than 5'0" tall. I'm currently 5'9".

Heh, I'm the other way around. I was pretty tall as a young child but stopped growing by the age of 11. I hated being 5'2" and watching all my schoolmates continue to grow when I was a teenager but I've been fine with my height for years. I'm so used to most people being taller than me that I don't notice it anymore.

Swap "height" for "bra size" and you have my adolescent angst and adult acceptance encapsulated in your paragraph.

Very good revelations about my fellow BBSers. Here's 10 more personal facts.

1. Lately I've been bored with Facebook, thinking how empty and unfulfilling it is.
2. I like watching porn occasionally, so sue me.
3. On weekdays I don't have time to eat breakfast when I wake up. So I take two bites of a protein bar and eat a bowl of oatmeal when I'm at work.
4. I'm a night owl, not a morning person. I enjoy staying up late on weekends and holidays, doing things, and sleeping in the next day.
5. Every year since I've been with my current employer (12 years), I take a week off for the holidays, usually the last week of December. No travel plans, though, I just love to rest, relax and hang around town.
6. I love my bedroom, which is my sanctuary, my office, and overall entertainment room.
7. I'm one of a few older guys in his 30s who hasn't done it yet.
8. On weekends and holidays, I get up so late that I tend to skip breakfast and just eat brunch.

[J.Ashmore]

1. I love fresh cherries but hate with a passion anything that is cherry flavoured.

I love fresh raspberries, but hate raspberry flavored things.

OK, so minus the fact up there^^

1) I've known I wanted to be a singer since I was in 6th grade, but really fell in love with opera when I was 14 thanks to my music teacher at the time and a certain someone named Renee Fleming, and I only finally decided I wanted to be an opera singer May of my senior year in high school (I dabbled between classical training and musical theatre.. still not sure!)

2) My cat, Mr. Cat, is the love of my life and I don't want him to die. Unfortunately, I had to move out of my house for college and I miss him like mad!

3) I saw my first episode of Star Trek when I was 4 years old and I still remember what episode it was: Star Trek Voyager's "The '37s." I fell in love with the franchise that very second. Even now when I watch the episode, I get extremely nostalgic (in a good way.)

4) I was in an organization called "FFA" in high school and used to judge livestock for their market and breeding qualities.

5) I am one of eight children, but 2 are step and 5 are half.

6) I didn't meet my biological father or my two youngest siblings until I was 17. I still haven't met my oldest sister.

7) I am addicted to coffee. During school, I have a venti White Chocolate Mocha at Starbucks once a day. Yummm

8) I wouldn't call myself a quiet person, but if I had a choice to listen or talk, I would definately listen. Listening is my favorite.

9) If I could be the Borg Queen, I would.

10) At one point in my life, I had 9 hamsters at the same time.

I might have to post again because this is fun. I have read every single post in this thread; it's so interesting!!

That's the one part of my body that grew 'til I was 18. Damned genetics.

 

[Emher]

Okay, here we go. Have tried to go mostly original, but I gotta steal first one a bit from tsq, with some modifications.

1. I am Atheist, and do my very best to respect others' beliefs. I mostly behave respectfully, but, though I find religion fascinating on an intellectual level - like a good novel - I can't help but feel that people who actually believe that nonsense are being duped. That being said I love Norse mythology.
2. My name is a Viking name, hence a bit of my interest in Norse mythology.
3. Eldest of four, and thus have quite a bit of a big brother complex. I take care of everyone. One of the reasons I'd really like a girlfriend is because I'd like someone to care of me for a change. Just a little bit.
4. Been overweight and had glasses since I was 10. Something that led to ammo for bullies way back when. These days I like my glasses and relish when I have to get new ones and get some that look really great. I'm okay with my weight but constantly seek to lose weight. I'd love to get down to about 220.
5. Pretty tall at 6'3", but would love to be about four inches shorter. Especially since I'm a bit disproportionate and tall in the upperbody.
6. Really attracted to women around a foot shorter then me. Again, probably a bit of the big brother complex. Laso under same category, I prefer women with shapes. Skinny girls I don't get the appeal for.
7. I'm pretty good at talking to girls and women, but I'm terribly at getting to the step of being anything more then just the friend.
8. I live in Sweden since birth, but I HATE winter. Would much rather live somehwere warmer.
9. I'm a film nut, and it's a BIG part of who I am. Favorite film is forrest Gump.
10. Also a big car guy, especially like muscle cars, and then in particular the new Chevrolet Camaro SS (my favorite car ever). In spite of this, I don't have an issue with my manhood, and my penis is quite respectable at 7 inches.

7. I've only just recently, at 27, developed an interest in having a relationship. I've had flings, but never fallen in love. I've never felt I needed a man to complete my life or make me happy, but I am starting to feel that it'd be nice to be in love. Perhaps it's my biological clock kicking in.

I'm almost the other way around, I've been in m love a few times, but only ones had a relationship with one of those girls, and I'm terrible at flings But yeah at 26, need for relationship rising quite a bit.

Heh, I'm the other way around. I was pretty tall as a young child but stopped growing by the age of 11. I hated being 5'2" and watching all my schoolmates continue to grow when I was a teenager but I've been fine with my height for years. I'm so used to most people being taller than me that I don't notice it anymore.

It's not that handy being tall really. I can say that whenever I meet someone's a bit taller I'm quite intimated though

But you're 5'2" and shapely you say...how you doin'?
