Sleuth Home - Message Boards - The Gumshoe Lounge

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!!!

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.

Oooh, Anikka, you get to dress up in medieval gowns and stuff? That sounds SO fun! I keep trying to get one of my boyfriends to play some role-playing stuff with me, where I'm a KGB agent hiding a microfilme on my person, and he has to beat the the info out of me... but I guess that's a story for another time..... I also like daggers a lot. And when I say I like daggers, what I mean is that I carry a shank in my purse.
I happen to be a fan of warm soda (not flat, tho) and goose. I'll eat pretty much any animal, as long as it's cooked a little (provided it's not an animal I've been acquainted with).

I have a mad girl-crush, (although I'm not entirely sure what I mean by that because I'm a happily, married woman...), on Anikka 'cause she's smart, funny and sassy!

Although I sometimes get crushed on Lady Emerald Devon too...

I can only drink flat, warm soda if it involves some alcohol.

I often wish that I had better text messaging humour.

I hate housework and I miss smoking cigarettes.

I secretly watch all the Reality Shows on VH1 and have never told anyone.

It doesn't get any better than Sharon Osbourne yelling at a bunch of strippers and ex-porn stars. Come on!

Mar-15-2009 14:57

My ex moved to Los Angeles, where I'm pretty sure he's trying to get into the porn industry.

I used to breakdance. ;) I was terrible, but I tried so hard!
