what what things about you would ppl not associate with you unless you told them

i am talking in everyday life,,,, not sexually or weird ... just in your everyday ordinary life,,,,, things that comfort you or make up a big part of who you are but ppl would never suspect... without truly knowing you

alot of folks look at me n see a harsh, blunt, strong willed work horse and whatever else,,,,

but they dont see

that gardening n canning fruits n veggies and overall cooking is something i really enjoy... that i really like getting dirty, n greasy n grimey n doing hard challenging work ... or that i enjoy doing needlework n cross stitch n making jewelry and learning new things that are simple n ordinary to life a 100 or more years ago and want to become as self sufficient as possible ,,,,n would prefer to not have electric , phone, tvs and running water....

 

Um that I like to help people but dont like people, if that aint fucked up, lol

 

probably that i hang out on here! would be one of them.
that i'm not a complete idiot but only a half wit.
that i was in the air force
that i've lived in oregon
that i've lived in nevada
that i've worked for a living as much of my life as i have
that i grew up in very small towns and i'd rather be living in a cave in the woods then where i am
that i create art with computers
probably just about almost everything.

my bedding - i have sesame street sheets, alf sheets & an stuffed alf animal, some other children sheets, my baby blanket, cookie monster stuffed animal

the books i read, my friends don't know the types of books i read, most wouldn't understand - way of the peaceful warrior, shambhala: the sacred path of the warrior, book of 5 rings, art of war...

i make it look like i'm the laziest motherfucker alive, i'll go weeks without doing anything "worth while" and then just decide to do something and i'll work my ass off....kinda like how i didn't train for my cross country bike trip: i didn't train for it all, just up and did it.

oh yea, and this forum

 

i am that way too,,, n yup its fukked up

 

That in real life I am so shy when talking to men, it's pathetic.
I come on here and say all kinds of twisted junk that I would only say to some dude in real life if I had known him long enough to feel comfortable. I think it's probably one of my biggest downfalls because guys always get the impression I'm some sort of prude or something when they first meet me.
I've learned from experience that being yourself right away with some guy gives him the idea you're easy.
I'm totally serious here. One time, when I was a teenager, my brother had a group of his friends over hanging out with him.
I knew probably four of them, but there was one guy there I did not know. So, one of the dudes I already knew made a sexual joke and I joked back.
Next thing I know, this new friend that I did not know had me in the kitchen trying to get me to be a hooker and let him pimp me out.
He started telling me how I could make all this money and how he would make sure nothing bad happened to me.
All that from just my willingness to joke back about the sex stuff.
It is for this reason that I mostly don't let men know of my sense of humor. I'm also so shy around them because...well, I just am.

 

Most people think I'm ten years younger than I am. When I say I'm 38, they don't believe me, forcing me to show them my license.

 

Hehehe, I have the same exact problem!

 

I'm shy.

 

Me too. People think I'm like 18 years old all the time.
I clean houses for a living and a lot of the customers will ask me if I am taking any college courses.
Back when I worked at the grocery store up the road a few years ago, I had customers asking me what school I went to.LOL.

 

Me too.

 

my neighbors thought i went to school with their grandaughter when she was in high school. the wondered if i drove myself to school since they never saw me walking to the bus.

anyway, i'm extremely affectionate, very thinned skinned, and i'm awesome at acting out the voices in my 4 year old's books. i laugh REALLY loud, and without even a tiny hint of femininity to it, unless i'm suddenly shy and giggle incessantly.

 

but for the most part, i'm un-shy to the point of obnoxiousness, until i decide i like someone and don't want to run them off.

 

That I have 4 grown children...the oldest will be 30...and 5 grandchildren !!!!

 

I count every thing I do and see, and Im obsessed with the golden spiral. Got to love OCD, and I even failed math!

 

I sleep in unusual places. When I was a child I would sleep in an oven and then a toy box. I sleep in a closet now.

 

Wow! You're another young looking mama!

 

I started at 16 !!!

 

Well you look great for a mother of four and grandmother of five!

 

dave's mom started when she was 16. so when they'd go shopping or to the mall, people thought they were a couple. dave's very good looking, so's his mama. still, embarassing for her. he takes everything in stride. i don't know if it's possible to embarass him.
