Tell me more about _______?

3. The first time I received a barbie doll, I was about two at christmas. I opened the package, without looking up I picked up the barbie and threw it across the room and then took the animal toys that came with the doll and played happily with those. I was born without an attachment to femininity, I swear. (Although my favorite color was pink for years).

Pink is the best colour. Femininity has nothing to do with it.

As for Barbie, nobody ever bought me one. However, I did maul my sisters' Barbies when I discovered how wonderfully chewy their feet were.

Yes I know, but that association was built in as a kid

Your sister probably loved you for that, bet it was tasty like roasted babies.

I'm going to start making ones up. Yours are too cool. Mine are like "I used to bite my fingernails until my fingers would bleed, thus requiring me to put capsaicin on them."

Ummmm. I used to date Taylor Swift.

On another note, is Craigslist a good place to sell bridges?

1. I daydream a lot when I'm in the shower.

2. I have anosmia (an inability to perceive odors).

3. I used to do magic tricks as a hobby.

4. My favorite Sci Fi episode is The Twilight Zone.

5. My favorite color is green.

Like Rayaan I also have anosmia. And green is my favorite color as well.

3. I have a form of Eidetic memory for the written word. Which means I don't have the fictional form where I remember everything I read forever. But I can remember what I read with great detail even being able to quote the page number a bit of information is located at after reading a book. But it fades over time.

1- I'm 33, started working at 11.

2- It was also the time I found drugs and made my cup of tea heroin, that I successefully stopped using at 20, after a great friend of mine died from an OD in front of me. She was 18.

3- I'm usually calm and contained, but when the bubble bursts, everyone should run for their lives.

4- I'm so passionate for science & technology that I really don't know how can I pick one.

5- I like animals, I have a dog, 2 cats and had 2 hamsters untill the cats found a way to get to them

[c172]

I've lived in seven locales in six states. Born in my current locale.

I've never been abroad, but for Calgary and Tijuana.

I have no desire to create my own family. I crush on girls like a cat goes for catnip, but at the end of the day, I have more than enough family life with my own parents, who are just "21 minutes up the road! (whee)"

1. I've got massive A.D.D. although I haven't taken any medication for it in about 7 years or so. When I was a kid the pharmacists used to call my doctor before filling out the prescription because they wanted to make sure that he didn't accidentally put too high of a dosage.

2. When I was in middle school my best friend's sister married Jon Fishman (the drummer from Phish) and I got to spend a weekend at Fishman's place with my friend.

3. Some times I prefer not to talk to people at all. My longest stint of just holing up and not talking to friends or family is about 3 weeks. It just feels tiring to talk to people every once in a while.

4. I have been described by many people as a grumpy old man (even though I'm 22) because of my tendency to be incredibly pessimistic, argumentative, and I've also got a weird aversion to technology. If you call me or text me don't expect a return call or text for at least 2-4 hours because I probably threw my phone in the corner or it is probably dead. Also I don't have a Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

5. My right knee is completely numb and has been for about 5 years after I tried doing a Superman of a small bike ramp on the street. I fucked up the trick and I landed face first with my knee slamming into the pavement. Somehow I didn't break anything, but I just cant feel my knee anymore.

Then I would expect if I met you I would get a truer sense of whatever "femininity" might be since you won't have picked up so many cliche mannerisms. My wife too is without that sort of affectation .. except during sex when her fantasies and mine nicely coalesce along predictable lines. (I find one must be cruel to be kind sometimes.)

Pink is the best colour. Femininity has nothing to do with it.

Funny thing about that. Ever since I was in high school the question of what if anything is feminine or masculine was something I questioned. And yet, when I got into gardening twenty odd years ago I discovered I had an aversion to the color pink. Another teacher and the librarian at my school and I made a tour of our three gardens. Carol's garden (the librarian) was by far the oldest, most developed and aesthetically pleasing. And yet, when we came to her pride and joy, an archway covered in New Dawn roses in bloom I felt myself recoil.

That struck me as so odd. It was like when I first discovered how yucky male homosexuality seemed to me. As soon as I realized it, I questioned it. It seemed as though I'd been sold a bill of goods culturally. I decided to reject that and subjected myself to enough gay thoughts (and later experiences) to get past the yucky. What I couldn't change was the fact that I just don't form attachments to males and I just like female bodies better overall. They're special to me in a way that just is what it is.

But back to the roses. I remember remarking on it. Over time I started paying attention to pink in gardens. I noticed the many different shades and how it looked with other colors. Eventually it lost whatever association it had had for me. Now I actually use it quite a lot in my garden. I think it has fresh appeal for me now.
