OK I’ll play!
Before I begin, has anyone else noticed the “shyness” theme running through many of the responses so far? Pretty unexpected and intriguing IMO.
Alissa and Olivia: I can totally relate to some of the challenges you mentioned…although I don’t consider myself “shy” exactly, I’m definitely an introvert, prefer to listen and observe, and sometimes get mistakenly labelled as aloof or stuck up (It’s really not true, I swear!).
Now on to the list:
1) I have the distinction of being the first to party in Sheri’s PlayLand. Char and Destini teamed up, and had their way with me. BOOYAAAHH! I happened to show up to see the lovely Char, who informed me that it had opened earlier that day, and hadn’t been used yet…No way I could pass up those bragging rights! 😉
2) My favorite bartender is Marci at Sheri’s. She’s my favorite of all time, ever, hands down, without question…and it’s not even close. Marci is that amazing in my book!
3) I love quirky, edgy, borderline offensive comedy. (Chappelle’s Show, Sunny in Philly, South Park, Louie, Archer, etc). If it pushes boundaries and makes you think, then I’m all about it! Plus I think, for the most part people need to get the fuck over themselves…I mean c’mon, we’re all different and every single race, religion, gender and orientation has some pretty goofy shit going on, so what? We should all laugh at ourselves once in a while. I think comedy like that can help people realize how ridiculous life is sometimes.
4) It’s not always easy or comfortable, but I try my best to always: Admit when I’m wrong, say “I’m sorry” when I screw up, realize I don’t know the answer to everything, and tell those that I love and care about how I feel about them. I’ve found that most of the problems or regrets I’ve had in life have been because I didn’t do one of those things.
5) I have the odd talent of being able to unhook bras, one handed, over OR under a shirt, in about 1 second. This has virtually no practical application, although it does occasionally earn me some props and pleasantly surprised giggles during intimate moments.
6) I always say that nothing is true. But then again, I’m a liar.
