1. Every third or fourth time I stand up, I make it about 6 feet and then have to bend over and wait a few seconds so that I don't pass out. I regret it if I don't. Take it from someone who does it much more frequently than the average person, NO ONE ever faints gracefully, and you will almost always hurt yourself in the process. I have a fear of this happening during one of my BodyPump classes. Can you imagine? "Hey, lookit! The instructor just bit it and dropped 50 lbs on her head! THAT'S gonna leave a mark!"
2. I, quite unfortunately, know all of the words to Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance. It's not my fault! I used to ride in the car with a sorority sister who would sing all of the words every damn time that song was on, and after a while it just STICKS. I haven't heard the song in...I dunno...18 years? I still remember the words.
who's that gigolo on the street with his hands in his pockets and his crocodile feet hanging off the curb looking all disturbed at the boys from home they all came running (I'll spare you the rest)
Stream of consciousness, baby! *curtsy*
3. As I mentioned, I was in a sorority. I just don't strike you as the type, do I? You know why? BECAUSE I'M NOT! I didn't join until my last year of undergrad, and I only did it because I was being left out of all of the exclusive sorority/fraternity stuff my boyfriend was doing. I'm not a "joiner."
4. I prefer to write with pencils. I almost always do so.
5. I rarely wear deodorant or antiperspirant. My body doesn't react well to them, and they backfire on me. I use a crystal, or nothing, and at the end of the day I either smell like soap or skin. I think soap or natural skin smell are the best smells on a person. Don't cover them up with other stuff. I RARELY wear perfume, but when I do it is the tiniest amount, and always the same one.
6. I hate mail. It rarely brings good things. I dread it. I love federal holidays because no mail comes.

I have now made absolutely sure that, for at least one of the reasons above, none of you will ever want to be anywhere near me.
If you're a mail carrier, that makes me very happy ;)
14 humored me by saying something:
A sorority girl who doesn't use deodorant and sings Buffalo Stance??? Wow!
I think I am finally glad I was never in a sorority. Having permanent recollection of Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance could be dangerous!
I am somewhat puzzled but yet aroused at the same time. I juts don't know.
The Trailer Of Love
Who's looking good today? Who's looking good in every way?
Not only can I, too, sing every word to Buffalo Stance, I still hear it regularly because hell yes, it's on my iPod!
I also love writing strictly in pencil. I LOVE new pencils!
What do you expect, the guy's a gigolo, man!
(just had to end with a song...)
Os- I know! Right?
Dana- Yes, dangerous, because I've been singing it all day now. Doh!
Wil- Ok, so you're all "Wha?" and now I'm all "Huh?" We're both befuddled.
FADKOG- My girly boner for you just got bigger.
Hmm... That's sort of how I learned all the words to "It's the End of the WOrld as We Know It" by REM. Sort of. It did involve driving around in my car and the obsessive-compulsive need to play that song over and over and over(and over). But it was sort of MY obseessive-compulsive need.
That's great it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplanes. Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of the hurricane, listen to yourself churn, world serves its own needs, don't misserve your own needs,...
But I digress (in stream of consciousness).
I know all the words to Just a Gigolo by David Lee Roth! :-D
BTW... my wife has same problem with standard Deoderants. She uses Alum is that what you meant by "crystals", or was that a sort of new age "pray I don't have B.O" crystal worship kinda thing? heh heh
Crystal? Clueless here will have to google that. Unfortunately, if I don't wear deo...I smell like dirt.
I actually had to go listen to Buffalo Stance on my iTunes to remember it. Was I THAT out of the 80s loop?
You make me want to send you some happy mail! Make that mailbox of yours smile!
Siren- I still admire your ability to do that. THAT song is much harder!
Suthnuh- Yep, that's what I meant. Like this http://www.iherb.com/ProductDetails.aspx?c=1&pid=5705&at=0 .
RLL- Want to paint me something? :)
There's a lot to be said for avoiding harsh chemicals and just smelling of skin or soap. The paranoia instilled by the manufacturers of deodorants and their ilk has made such natural smells a rarity.
It's harder, but then again I could make up lyrics and no one would know. ;-)
I googled the video, and I'm never going to be embarassed by my eclectic tastes in music around you again. ;-D Ugh. "It's the 80's retro lunch hour on WZYP!"
We're retro now, eh?
I looooooove the way you smell. Just sayin'!
Siren, I would know, b/c I would totally go online and check them out. One of my little OCD's. But you'd still get away with it, b/c I would immediately forget all about it... sigh. I miss my mind.
I miss your mind, too, Sam. how 'bout you bring it back here?
Aw. Siren made me feel all mooshy inside.
Now I need to go wipe that up...
