I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your journals, or we have something else in common, and we chat occasionally. Some of you I hardly know at all. Perhaps you lurk, for whatever reason. But you friended me, and I thank you for your ( Read more... )

I love cooking. Whenever I'm stressed or depressed, I force myself to go into the kitchen and cook. The tasty end result is a nice bonus, but what I really enjoy is making it. Hell, I made a batch of brownies last week and I've only had two. Also, my favourite thing to make and something that is fast becoming my comfort food, is pasta bake. It's simple and easy, but it cheers me up no end to make it and then dig in. Plus, it's dinner for three nights taken care of :D

Oh that's lovely! Thank you.

I don't have the knack for cooking myself. I wouldn't (um, generally) burn the house down and I can make a few edible dishes but I don't really enjoy it and other people can always make the same recipe turn out so much better! LOL So I love people who cook, because I kinda fail at it and I do like to eat! *giggles*

*hugs*

I am getting more and more obsessed with playing jazz and blues on the fiddle. Even though all my favorite jazz comes from sax players and all my favorite guitars come from guitar. I'm just weird like that.

Oh NEAT. So so so so NEAT. I love violin/fiddle music and players - classical, celtic, whatever - it's so beyond my ken and abilities and the "voice" of that instrument is so HUMAN and beautiful. Love love love. And I love that you're using it in a less-conventional way EVEN MORE.

Thank you! :D

I fling poo. *grin*

Well, I used to, when I was a baby. They used to duct tape my diaper so it would be sung enough that I couldn't fit a chubby little hand down it. Otherwise, I tended to fingerpaint the wall above my crib.

(*points* POO-FLINGER!!!) mona1347 December 20 2007, 19:20:41 UTC

*falls down laughing*

DUDE. 1) this surprises me exactly not at all. 2) I TOTALLY DID THAT ONCE!

But just once. LOL Because my mom FLIPPED OUT - just stressed to the max, hadn't slept in days - and then found my little 5mo self had taken off her diaper and smeared her own feces all over the crib, the walls, herself. She ended up plunking me into the bathtub while she cleaned up and we both cried about it.

WIN! *dork-arms*

*snort* Somehow, I knew you'd be a fellow poo flinger.

Poo flingers anonymous, loose your catapults!

Join us! We are so far from anything remotely resembling shame that the light from Shame will not reach us for many millennia!

COOL! I could never get the hang of knitting but I'm becoming distressingly obsessed with crochet.

Oh man, do I EVER FEEL YOU on the depression thing. I've fought with my demons in that regard on and off since, well, without awareness of it, since puberty. It became a constant "on" for the years I was in college until...sort of relatively recently. It sucks. But it gets better, even when it feels like it never will. This time of year is particularly...dark for me.

And it's never too late for change - if you can 'start over & get it right this time' with your gender and body, you can 'start over' with anything else. You're clearly an awesome person and I'm positive you'll make whatever career you want to happen, happen. *hugs to you*

I'm from California but since living for 15 years in New York City, I have, in the last five or so years, developed an allergy to the sun. My first sun of the season results in massive hives. I miss the days when I was a bikini-clad beach volleyball player (both in CA and in NY), but I have to give that up and accept that I'm nearing 40 (careening toward it like an out of control car, more like).

mona1347 December 20 2007, 19:36:45 UTC

*laughs forever* Oh that's...I shouldn't laugh. But I do. "EAST COAST REPRESENT! ARE SUN IS MOAR HARDCORE THAN URS." No, but srsly, that's kind of terrible. Oddly funny, but terrible with the hive thing. This is, however, a fabulous thing to tell me about. *winner sticker on your forehead*

Sweetheart, I'm 28 and I ain't worn a bikini since I grew tits. LOL Also, NYC is FUCKING COLD and I'm CERTAIN you'd die of contagion immediately upon putting any body part into any body of water surrounding Manhattan. I say this having grown up on Long Island Sound. ANYWAY. NYC is the best place on earth - I wish I was there with you. :)
