I have tons but here's one that comes to mind first:

I was just a teenager when I was married the first time so I was pretty immature still- ok, so I still am, there's nothing I enjoy more than scaring someone when they least expect it. I loved to scare the crap out of my ex husband- in the middle of the night he'd get up to get something or use the bathroom and I'd hide behind the wall and jump out & scare him when he came back to bed. He never learned though and I got a desired reaction from him every time ;-) But then, once he tried to get back at me for it and decided to scare me coming out of the bathroom in the middle of the night; except he genuinely scared the daylights out of me and I scream loud if I get startled... which in turn scared the living hell out of him causing him to scream like a woman. I haven't laughed that hard in a long while.

When I was a freshman in Highschool I played Tennis, we were practicing in the indoor Gym during class- my best friend whipped her racquet back to hit a ball coming and got me right in the face. Blood just started gushing out of my nose. It hurt so bad but it was mostly just embarrassing and we both just started laughing on the court like a couple of idiots which caused her to wet herself. This was more of an embarrassing random moment but looking back at it, it makes me laugh...

Now my mouth is watering for venison sausages.

Good, I don't feel so bad- I saw the pictures and thought how much I miss my ex husband or at least the deer sausage he made... yum.

Reflection in the Mirror ...

mom used to laugh when i, as a little boy, would look into the mirror and ask my reflection, "why am i so uggily?

" well, i should have felt some reassurance when auntie rose took me into her capacious arms and declared, "you're a cute little fart!".

certainly the old dear was dotty as well as biased toward me - rightly so, i would imagine.

I can't believe how harsh some of you are on yourselves- makes me so sad.

Strange you started this thread CoCo, only this afternoon I looked at myself in the mirror and told myself I'm an ugly fat cow.

Emo, I cannot believe you feel this way. I don't know you but from your posts and I have to say (from what I've read in the posts you've made) you're one of the most kind, wonderful, genuine people I have ever encountered. When I come across your posts I feel warm hearted for you and I think if I knew someone like you in real life I would be a very lucky person to have such a friend. Beauty's only skin deep, but your beauty comes also from within and makes you one of the most beautiful people I can think of.
Ok sorry for the sappy moment there but I just had to get that out- it's been bothering me since I read your post.

When I look in the mirror I mostly look at myself and wonder what other peple see when they look at me. Do they see me as a strong, independent, secure woman? Or are they able to see who I really am on the inside and think "imposter!".
I see my mother when I see my face and that scares me. Not because I look like her because even though I do resemble her very much when she was younger, I don't want to be like her ~ the way she is now. I'm afraid to end up the way she has as she's gotten older; worn out, unhappily married, bitter, stubborn and yet unable to admit it or change the things that make her this way.
I see my mother in the mirror and remind myself often that I'm not my mother.

My mom just called

my biological family has been shunning me ever since i daed back in 1998.. my mom opened by saying that she's been thinking about me lately and then we chatted a bit to catch up on news.

i told her about my toilet training my two cats, my recent nose surgery, my running and how things are going well at work.

she told me about how my dad had a medical issue come up in july and how it was treated.. normally my biological family will only contact me when someone dies.

misanthropic

As many times as they have hurt me, I'm always willing to give my biological family the benefit of the doubt.

You're a great guy Elsewhere, I hope this is just her way of trying to reach out to you because she wants you back in her life- and not to try to guilt you back in (I've been there before too as I'm sure many here have and that sucks). But I wish you the best.

wow, very cool. I've never seen knee high Converse before.
I love the Nike hitops from the 80's- The ones Marty wore in "Back To The Future" would have been really sweet!

Share one or two interesting things about you we probably didn't know

we have such an interesting group of people from around the world on this board.

it might be interesting to have a thread where you discuss a hobby, something interesting that happened in the past, somewhere you've been, etc.. not deep, dark confessions - just interesting stuff.. .

* i have travelled into all 48 american states that are not named alaska or hawaii.. * for the past few years, i have had a slight walking impairment due to a form of arthritis known as ankylosing spondylitis.

My son's father has never seen him, yet we talk on almost a fairly regular basis. And work at the same place. :(

Out of curiousity; this is none of my business but does he know it's his child?

Missa, I have an 18 pound cat. She has never needed a litter box or EVER gone in the house. Our previos old male Persian taught her she must go outside.

I guess I am spoiled. We have never had a litter box.

My dogs are completely housetrained but once, maybe twice there was a mistake in the house....oh the shame of it from, not only the dogs, but the cat too! She was totally disgusted!

I had no idea you even had a cat. That's a riot she was disgusted by the dogs accident too...lol, priceless.
