I'll get it started.

1) I drink a lot of soda water, often the flavored kind, but avoid sugary sodas and aspartame like the plague.
2) My nose cartilage is very firm and I can pop my nose 4 rlz. It usually freaks people out. I hardly ever do it anymore because I think I might eventually injure it.
3) For the last couple of years, my farts have been completely odorless 99% of the time.
4) I have extremely vivid lucid dreams and frequently remember them. I've occasionally contemplated pursuing shamanism.
5) I moved to New Hampshire in 2007 as an early participant in the Free State Project.
6) I love basements and cemeteries. I live across from a cemetery so I have an excellent view from the bay window in my office.
7) I don't smoke pot anymore because it sometimes triggers horrible panic attacks. Now my main vices are frequent coffee and occasional alcohol.
8) I've written three screenplays and I've been writing a novel for 10 years about a Romeo and Juliet style love story between a werewolf and another guy who has his own weirdness.
9) I was kicked out of the Navy for being gay.
10) I love role-playing games, table-top style mainly but also MMORPGs.

OK, I'll bite.

  • I've never kissed a girl. I know I wouldn't like it, no matter what Katy Perry might say.
  • The very first single I ever bought for myself was Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band-Aid, way back in 1984.
  • I have never smoked, and I have never taken any drugs. Nor do I ever plan to.
  • I was once kicked out of a big-name live show for taking photos. So my boyfriend & I just swapped T-Shirts with each other and went back in through a different entrance. We watched the rest of the show without incident.
  • As a young adult, I was always the Designated Driver for my posse. None of them could be trusted to remain sober enough to drive us home... but I find it very easy to control my drinking.
  • I've driven drunk once. That was more than enough to convince me that I will never, ever do it again. Nothing bad happened, but it was very frightening. Please don't try this at home, kids. Ever since then, I've followed one simple rule: if I'm driving I don't drink; and if I'm drinking I don't drive.
  • When I was a kid I once ate liquorice ice-cream which was a deep, inky blue in colour. When I used the toilet a couple of hours later, everything came out dark green.  :o
  • I snore... and if you roll me over, I just snore some more.
  • The very first time I voted was in the Referendum of 1992 in which the South African president asked white voters whether we supported him in ending Apartheid and giving black citizens the right to vote. When I got back to the office after casting my vote, one of my black colleagues asked me whether I'd be willing to tell her how I voted. I said that I believe as a British-born person I should not have more right to vote in her native country than she does, so of course I used my ill-deserved vote to vote in favour of giving her her birthright. She cried & gave me a massive hug. Two years later we stood side-by-side voting in the national election in which Nelson Mandela was swept to power.
  • One of the items on my Bucket List is to attend The Rocky Horror show in full drag. The day I'm able to go out in public in a basque, fishnets, make-up and high heels is the day I'll know I've managed to defeat my Gender Dysphoria.

Is there like a super-secret support group for that? Do you have a professional bodyguard?

I knew someone would comment on that. I had lived down in Southwest florida for about 8 years and feel in love with the Tampa Bay Rays. And since moving back to Mass I still cheer for the Rays. To me the Sox are the second coming of the evil empire the first being the Yankee's.

No I don't have a bodyguard but I just might need one after posting this LOL.

1.  I can't spell; I was told to sound everything out in grade school but no one taught me how to pronounce the words I wanted to spell.
2.  I want to live on a boat.
3.  I lose my cell phone all the time.  Especially at work, where the ringer has to be set on silent.
4.  My voice as a male has a Midwestern USA accent (like my father).  My feminine voice has a Southern USA accent (like my grandmother)
5.  The first time (and last time) I drank too much, I passed out while riding my motorcycle down the highway. (ouch)
6.   My wife and I were competitive dance partners 10 years before we got married.  We still dance together.
7.  I am terrified of timber wolves.
8.  I love music: to listen to, to dance to and to sing with. 
9.  I read so much as part of my job that I do not read much for recreation.  I listen to audio books.
10.  I became a scientist by accident: I started in chemical engineering but didn't like it so I quit college.  Went back to get my bachelors and decided on chemistry as that was easy and quick.  Couldn't find a job when I finished so I applied for and received a fellowship to grad school where I found I actually like research.
To move forward is to leave behind that which has become dear. It is a call into the wild, into becoming someone currently unknown to us. For most, it is a call too frightening and too challenging to heed. For some, it is a call to be more than we were capable of being, both now and in the future.

I love bridge, I play it all the time against AIs on my computer but playing in person is definitely the best.  Another cool fact, I have the most Masterpoints (bridge points used to reward winning games and to divide playing ability) of anyone under 30 in my region (caveat to that, that only means I am beating about 3 or 4 other people lol)
