| I find that doing laundery is very enjoyable for me. Especially if I do it all on my own. I enjoy the heavy work of moving the baskets to the washer and unloading the washer. I also enjoy timing myself as I fold each load after I get them out of the dryer. The more loads that I do and the more hours... |

| The Dukes of Hazzard was my favroite TV show when I was nine. I used to watch it every Friday and Saturday night. My favroite characters were Rosco P Coltraine and Bo Duke. The show made a lot of sense to me at the time. When I watch it today, it seems silly and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense ... |

| Who I am in my dreams depends in what mood I'm in as I'm falling asleep. If I'm in a very good mood, I dream that I'm Austin Powers. If I'm in a normal mood, I'm myself in a dream. If I'm feeling let down, I dream that it's my Past Life in London and that I'm a jolly little Pearly King. If I'm depre... |

| These are usually strangers that I see on the street. I stand tall and I;m a very wordy person. I think it might be the fact that I dress for comfort instaed of wearing form-fitted clothes. I'm not about to change, but I think that people tend to judge people by how they dress as well. I walk really... |

It drives me bananas when people presume that I can't help myself,or that I'm MR, just because I'm not Supermodel georgeus. I deal with those people b... |

| I'm 30 and I freeze up when I'm surrounded by members of the opposite sex if they picked on me in school or I don't know them very well. If I know a guy really well, than I'm not afraid of him and I can talk to him for hours. I think it depends on the people that I come into contact with. |

I'm not going to leave this place just because somebody might not agree with the questions that I ask.

| I'm obsessed with politics. Voting Day is like Christmas for me. It once got to the point where I was asking the Members of my Clubhouse which party they voted for in the British Columbia Provincial Election a couple years ago. |

I either get told that I bring my problems upon myself or what I'm feeling is all in my head. After that garbage, the person will ask me if I feel better. I feel like sayin... |
