Sooo...the mighty gumshoe board feels a bit slow today. *Bob the Builder voice* Can we fix it? Yes we can!

Got a skeleton pounding on your closet? A secret in the attic? A monkey (no, not precious Bobo...and not the raging back hair you try to pass off as a Bonobo backpack either) on your back?

Let it all out, boo.

K, I'll start with a few (true) examples.

When I was 16, I robbed the house belonging to to heir of a pickle dynasty.

I used to steal Volkswagen signs to be more like one of the Beastie Boys.

I have bought more than one kind of deodorant in the same day, on the advice of a friend.

I salivate a little whenever I walk by a hot dog vendor.

I totally car-megeddoned a pigeon last month.

Sometimes, I find Bob Sagat funny.

I'm Canadian and I really don't care about hockey.

Plus, I covet my neighbor's ox every day.

Speak!!!

lol I had one sip of coke and never touched the stuff again, so I really never have drunk a can or bottle.

I LOVE this thread!
I'm acutally female and the female team member to this agent shares my first name. Steve is my husband's name, which should tell you I have no imagination.
I also have a 3rd detective.

I refuse to turn the windshield wipers all the way up on my car because I think it looks very silly.
My favorite favorite movie is The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I love reality TV.
I live in WV, but I'm not a redneck, I'm actually a finance professional.
On the professional note, I work from home and have been known to ditch work and play sleuth all day.
I have recently acquired piercings in an area that would not be expected on a professional anything.
I own 2 snakes which I'm terribly afraid of.
I actually like the taste of Miller Light and hate wine. Well, except for the kind I make myself.

Similar to Kathryn, I hate Coke. In fact, I pretty much don't drink anything except Water, or Iced Tea.

I once went to NY 3 times in 6 months (Is that a confession? Probably not >,<)

I absolutely love "kawaii" emoticons, like the one above.

Personally, I think I'm completely different person when I'm online.

The night before yesterday, I had a dream that I got a one year subscription to Sleuth for free. @.@

I absolutely HATE modern music, like punk (is that a music genre?), rap, or w/e. And I'm supposed to like that kind of music because of my age. Instead, I absolutely love musicals and broadways, such as The Sound of Music, The Music Man, etc.

Although I tend not to watch that much tv, my favorite tv shows range from a normal viewer age from 80 to 3. I still watch I Love Lucy, and yet I still enjoy watching Barney. :3 Of course, I also like NUMB3RS (<3) and Heroes.

I (think) that I'm a pretty good writer (my dream jobs are to be an author and a lawyer, since I love to sue people). The only time I got a really bad score on any essay was when I was in seventh grade, and I received a 1 (out of 5) on the Final "The Contender" essay. Fortunately, a lot of other classmates received bad scores. When we all were told to rewrite it, I wen t online and did research on the book (that book is COMPLETELY boring, which is why I wrote random stuff), and guess what; I got a perfect score the 2nd time!



Ok, I think that was way to much for my own good. For some very strange reason, it's extremely satisfying to confess some random stuff to people you've never met before. :3

Oh, and one other thing before I leave:

I take band, and I've always been 2nd Chair (thanks to my friend, who always hogs first chair). Fortunately, she's leaving for Spanish this year. When we graduate, we have an Outstanding Band Member of the year. I have been wanting that thing for four years. I really do hope I get it (there were 3 times I actually dreamed about band class), because I've received the Outstanding Band Member"s" of the Year every year (which is still an honor because that's the best thing you can get before we graduate).

After watching the Bourne Ultimatum I wanted to be Jason Bourne himself. When I got home I also made sure I had a big hardcover book close to me at all times in case someone I didn't like came in.

I have to go to the Malaysian Embassy in Manila tomorrow morning at 8am to meet the Consul of Malaysia, and here I am, at 2am, chatting with you people.

:P

Not that that's a bad thing, isn't it? ;)

Unlike the Cruncher, I *have* eaten a goose. Tastes like chicken, only less fishy. ;-/

When needed, I can lie better than practically anybody I know.

I absolutely loathe Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

(Blame my British upbringing on those. ;-)

I have no bloody clue what a 'kawaii emoticon' is. (thumps cane. Yeah, I know, I'm sooooo old. What of it, sonny?? ;-)

I actually like warm Coke or Pepsi. Drinking cold soda (with ice in it) hurts my mouth. (I know, I'm strange. Get over it. ;-)

And finally, I'm prob'ly the only female on the planet who absolutely hates, detests, and cannot STAND to go shopping. Clothes, food, whatever, especially shoes. (SHUDDER) (I know, I know, call the Enquirerer, you've just found a new species. Of what, you're not sure....;-)

I've also eaten a goose. I thought it tasted like gamey duck. :-)

I, too, HATE clothes and shoe shopping. Starting to despise food shopping as well.

I think it's hilarious that Scotland Yard apparently hires and promotes people who have the writing skills of a third grader. I'd hate to have to read those reports....

I actually don't care that the last comment I made was rather sarcastic. Wow, this is cathartic. In the emotional sense.

I'm really pretty mild and non-confrontational, but this afternoon I created a public scene. I didn't care. They deserved it - damned bullies.

I'm even hoping I get to do that again. Damned bullies.

I not only like warm cola, I also like it flat (all the carbonation gone). I also like warm, flat ginger ale when I'm nauseous.

I have a dagger collection and keep several in various places near my bed, as well as fairly hidden in other parts of the house. I love daggers. No, I don't know why. I do not have the same fondness for swords or knives.

I belong to a medieval recreation group and love to dress in the gowns, all of which are handmade (except for one).

Oh, Kawaii Kun that is so cool I LOVE broadway! Give my regards to broadway, YEAH!!!
And I can barely stand newer music, either...

And for yet more confessions...

I am supposed to be doing my homework right now.

I like movies that are sad.

I woke up this morning and thought it was 7 at night because it looked like sunset to me.

Once I took a laser light that I think said, "Don't get near eyes" or something like that and shined it in BOTH eyes. I'm not sure if I knew it was bad for eyes, though. I was 6 or 7.

I do not like good dreams.

I love algebra class!

I haven't been practicing my other 2 instruments for months.

I have a huge smart mouth that I'm hoping won't get me in trouble with my parents.
