    "A girl in name only"

    I'll be 28 in six months and this is nowhere near where I thought I'd be in life.

    I would like to have children but am desperately afraid that I won't be able to have any because of physical problems, so instead I put up a front about really liking kids...barbequed.

    I work two jobs and have a degree, but still couldn't pay rent on my own, which is why, although just getting married, we have a roommate to help share bills and rent payments.

    I have an 02 Ford Focus. It does the job, but it's got no extras.

    I spent 13 years in a religious cult.

    I only own one T.V. and it only gets three very snowy channels. I read voraciously and have a tendency to obsessively gather information when I find some topic that REALLY interests me.

    I have four cats (3 main coons and a lilac point siamese.) I love them as if they were my children.

    I'm on medication for depression, anxiety disorder, acid reflux disease. I have very high cholesterol, but i'm very active. Again...I'm only 27. Bodes well for the future, eh? :)

    I would call myself an artist, yet I have not done any artwork in years. My job has sucked the creative energy out of me...I've shifted drawing and inking to quilting though. I'm finding creativity in color, shape and pattern instead.

    I'm a brown-belt in Karatedo. Sometimes I really love it. Sometimes I can't stand it.

    I enjoy drinking, and eating. They are both joys which are made better with close friends around.

    If I am ever diagnosed with a terminal illness I'm going to take up drugs. I'm too chicken sh!t to take them now but I figure if I have nothing to lose, that I'll go hardcore.

    Secretly, I can't wait for H5N1 virus to mutate and take out half the world's population. We were supposed to have stewardship over the Earth, not dominance and if we can't play nice with our 'friends' then we should be barred from the playground.

    I have trouble believing that there could be a god out there. And then when I see duck-billed platypuses I think that if there is one, he was obviously toking on the first batch of mary-jane before creating this place.

    I sing to music when I know the words and it doesn't matter where I am.

    I'd love to have an immaculate house but I'm just too tired to give a damn.

    I wish that Y2K would have taken out the world's infrastructure...don't get me wrong, I'm not into an armegeddon, but I feel like we are slaves to our own technology.

    I guess that's it for now.

    I'm 47, tall, and overweight.

    Former Catholic turned JW for 20 years, now viewed as a demonized apostate bastard from hell.

    Socially awkward after 20 friendless years in the cult. I have one friend I talk to regularly on the phone, but see only a few times a year.

    Separated after 16 1/2 years of marriage. No kids.

    Employed as a computer geek.

    Drive a 1998 Ford F150 and a 1982 Yamaha 1100 motorcycle. Both are black. So are most of my clothes.

    I rarely get out of the house for anything other than work or shopping.

    The light of my life is Rocco, my cockatoo.

    This is the first thread that made me laugh out loud ~ so I’m game

    i’m “technically” a 35 year old black female – but really i am more of a white girl trapped in a black girl’s body

    i’m “technically” heterosexual – but my best fantasies are about being with women – and I do not plan dying without trying it at least once

    i’m “technically” exclusively dating a man right now – but i really think i put up with his crap because he makes allot of money

    i love to walk around the house in the nude even though i am just now becoming comfortable with the size of my own ass

    i use to be a topless dancer and would still be one if the business hadn’t gotten so flooded with women

    i don’t think i really want to settle down with one man (or woman for that matter) EVER ~ technically i don’t think one could put up with me for that long or me them

    i took my 97 saturn in for an oil change yesterday and found out it was bone dry of oil. i have no real interest in cars

    i don’t listen to music in the car because the sound of the thoughts in my head are so much more entertaining

    i often look up at the clouds and yearn to be relieved of my human existence even though i have no idea what that means

    i love to masturbate and can never remember a time that i didn’t

    i was raised in a cult and went back for a second dose for a while in my late 20’s

    i don’t like most of my family members

    i constantly loose would be friends because i have no tact about saying what i see as being true

    but all in all i really like me

    32 y.o. male(*looks down* yep, still a male).

    6'-2", dark brown hair with flakes of gray starting to creep in.

    Was married on the Ides of March in 1997.

    Became an ex-JW officially on the evening of Feb. 3, 2005. Even had the "disfellowshipped" announcement before the "no longer a JW" change came into effect. (Why am I so proud of that??) I guess I was df'd for apostacy. I say I guess because the elders never informed me exactly what I was df'd for.

    My job is my hobby. I do not have one of those jobs that when you leave the office you're on your own personal time. I bring it home and sometimes work from home. Wireless telecommunications is a way of life for me, and will always be.

    I have the urge every couple of years to upgrade the computers in the house. You better make CD backups in case that parallel ATA hard drive isn't compatible with a newer motherboard with SATA only connections.

    The only sports I care to watch on TV is volleyball and poker. I guess poker is a sport - why else would it be on ESPN?

    Volleyball is my other life. I've played it since I was young and plan on playing it until I die or until my body says it can't do it anymore. Roughly 4 nights a week are set aside for playing during the winter months. In the summer, I play 4 or 5 days in the late afternoon until it gets dark. I also play in most of the statewide tournaments during both the winter months and summer months. This routine will not change.

    I am also a hardcore skier. After having lived in the high country of Colorado for several years, these MI ski resorts are quite tame. Back in CO, my favorite area was A-Basin with its Pali face.

    I try to keep my schedule for going to the gym, but volleyball sometimes gets in the way.

    I love working in my yard. I pride myself as having one of the best maintained and manicured yards in the entire neighborhood.

    I prefer to work on my own home for maintenance projects instead of hiring contractors. I am a diehard DIY'er and spend waaay too much money at Home Depot.

    I still drive my '98 Honda Accord V6 cause it's paid for and still drives well, even when it has over 120k miles on it. My next car will be a hybrid - either a Prius, Civic, or an Accord.

    My "vacations" usually consist of my company sending me to training. I consider them vacations because everything is paid for - hotel, car, food - and it also means I am not in the office for the week. I love going to various cities across the USA, especially places where I have never visited before. Although we just went to Cancun last month --- that one we had to pay for ourselves.

    I would like to visit Ireland and Italy before I die. There's something about those two countries that just draws me in. A ski trip to Austria or Switzerland would be nice too.

    I am a serious beer and wine connoisseur. But without the snooty pretentiousness that goes along with it. My particular favorites are Pinot Noir, Barolo, Shiraz/Syrah, Gewurztraminer, and late harvest Reislings. And yes, Pinot Noir was one of my favorites before Sideways ever came out. Some of my favorite beers come from Chimay, New Belgium Brewing Co., Tabernash, Portland Brewing Co., and Celis.

    That's my life in a nutshell.

    I just hope I never have to do that!

    What is the dating game like these days? Is it hard to meet people?

    I never meet people. Probably because I never go anywhere. I'm not really interested in dating now anyway, but if someone wants to date me first they'll need to contact my lawyer to negotiate terms and conditions.

    20 Year Old Male. Drinks alot. Ex smoker, still smoke weed on occassion. Eats very unhealthily and does no exercise, underneath it all I'm worrying that the day my waistline catches up with me isn't too far in the future...

    Raised in a cult

    Have had depression, was a mild self harmer and attempted suicide.

    Failed most of my GCSEs, but somehow I'm now studying for a BSc...

    I hope to get by in life without putting much effort in. I'm a dreamer and I still have Rockstar fantasies!

    I've had too many ex girlfriends to count, but I still can't help looking for that one that could be my true love.

    I have lots of friends, but nobody that I'm really close to.

    I both hate my job and love it at the same time. Music is my life, take music out of my life, and you'll be taking air away from my lungs.

    I'm a geek, but nobody believes me when I tell them, once they get to know me, then they believe.

    I spend too much money on CDs, DVDs and Alchohol.

    I drive an 03 Nissan Almera, it's my baby, but I may have to downgrade my car next time my insurance needs to be paid...

    Jordan...What is an easy, or I should say good, book to buy to learn how to play a guitar?

    My daughter bought one in the summer but she is teaching herself!

    Is there one book that you would recommend over the others?

    Alright I'm game:

    I'm a 28 years old and my name is Sheldon. Like the turtle.

    I had heart problems when I was a little kid and my cultist parents took me to some JW quacks who put me on loads of vitamins that made me gain tons of weight. These quacks also said they had the cure for cancer. That was twenty years ago. Hence, I got picked on in the lower grades because I was an overweight cultist. I exercise all the time now probably because I'm scared I'll end up getting fat and feeling like killing myself like I wanted to back then.

    I want to have sex with practically every woman I meet. Married, older, with kids? I probably still wanna nail ya. Overweight, boring, obnoxious, injured? Bend over.

    I developed a drinking problem from years of cognitive dissonence and now I have to count every drink I have to make sure I don't fall back into those old habits. I smoke pot to counter my drinking tendencies and to entertain my bored and overactive brain that doesnt really see any point in getting up every morning.

    I think religious people are morons. You make me feel like I must be insane for believing in facts. I may tell you religious people that I'm "open minded" to make you think I'm polite and politically correct but I secretly think you need your heads examined. Can't help it. You're wrong and I'm right.

    I'm afraid sometimes and I don't even know why. Popular culture and the way people interact generally make me feel very alone. It's hard to find a connection. Connection is everything with me but it's so rare.

    I find happiness when I remind myself that I really am here and concious. And I like espresso. And Bill Hicks.
