Little Known Facts About Your Fellow Litsters

I was a Sunday School teacher and played the tambourine and tenner horn at church
Did belly dancing
Sewed my own wedding dress and 3 piece suits for my sons from when they were 3 to 9
Artist (some of my work has sold so technically I am )
Love reading
I hate cooking but I love good tasting food, its a catch 22 isn't it
Absolutely useless at sport. Hopeless at throwing and catching
Can you belly dance and play the horn still?
Sooooooooooooo want to see that on you tube!!!!!
 
I play video games once and a while
I'm programming to build my own apps
My goal is to make be at six figures by 30 and I'm almost there
I only drive standard cars
If you're interesting I'll fly you out and we can wine and dine on my dime ;)
 
I have a problem with addiction (gambling, not substance). I'm ridiculously thankful that I finally managed to get help. I wish it had come sooner. The years since I've been in recovery have been the best of my life.
 
Even though I'm openly atheist I used to help lead mass at school. (It was a Catholic school. Yes, I was a Catholic school boy. And yes, what they say about us is pretty much true.) It's because I liked attention and was very popular so it started out being by popular demand and then I discovered I loved public speaking. I never felt quite so alive as when I was speaking in front of hundreds of people. And yes, they knew I was an atheist. It was not a secret.

I've been under the knife more times than I can even count. I lost count somewhere in the low 20s but that was years ago so it's probably closer to 40 now.

I spent a good deal of my childhood in a hospital. And I've been hospitalized several times for short periods since then. My health issues have defined a lot of my life.

I have little patience for people who don't or can't think on more than a surface level. People who don't see nuance or don't think things through are very frustrating to me. This includes both people who think there are always two valid sides to everything and those who think there never are.

My mother left and we've not spoken for years and years. Never will again if I have anything to say about it. (And no, I don't want to hear your fucking opinion about that. It's my life and you know nothing about the situation. You are NOT in a position to judge it and I don't care who you are.)

I worked in radio for a few years. Yes, I've been on and off air.

I did a voiceover for one of those "Blood On The Pavement"-type driver's ed films. I actually regret doing that. It was exploitative. I don't even know what they ended up calling it so I wouldn't even know how to find it. It was a volunteer job I did in school so I didn't get paid or anything.

I've been published in print as both a writer and an artist under my real name. Both were a long time ago, though, and I don't really do that anymore.

I'm slowly losing my hearing. I'm around 35% deaf in one ear and about 40% in the other.

And finally... I suffer from chronic pain. I don't remember a time in my entire life I've not been in at least some pain.
 
In hopes of bringing this thread back to life I'll add one more. I'm 1/4 Czech but that has nothing to do with why I use "bohemian" in my username here and elsewhere. It's just a coincidence.
 
I'm outgoing, flirty and open on the boards. I'm quiet in RL unless I know you.

Im glad we have met. I hope to become your friend. It all depends on that elusive 'chemistry' though. I dont give a damn that you have medical issues. They dont define you. Of course I give a damn but not about how it makes you unique!

Well thank you. I hope so too. Let's see how everything goes. I'm optimistic.
 
My two daughters are the greatest kids in the world. Ok I might be bias but I'm sticking to it.
 
I really enjoy live performances... Broadway and off Broadway
 
Since the thread refers to "fellow Litsters" I'll list a few facts I've learned and/or observed about some of them that not everyone may know.

Makemewet69 has beautiful eyes.

SeductiveSarita has a beautiful face. In the time I've been here I only saw it on a small avatar but it is lovely.

PoutyPrincess is funny and likes good food.

BlackCashmere is probably the most compassionate person I know and lives in a very interesting place.

Cascadiabound is cool and intelligent and good at carrying on substantive conversations longer than a post on the board.

AlwaysSoaked is very intelligent and is understanding about health problems and the difficulties of having them.

CanadianCandy is one of the best people I know, even if she's not aware of it. She always lifts my spirits.

Tiamo15 is a fan of some very good and somewhat obscure music, is unique, and also very intelligent. And she was the first person to welcome me to Lit.

Dri is building a house in Florida and it's going to be gorgeous.

FeistyPhoenix has a fun sense of humor and doesn't take a lot of bullshit.

ShelbyBubbles has had some trying neighbors and likes cookies, coffee, and doughnuts.

There are many more, of course, but I thought this was a good starting point.
 
I've been the support act to some very well-known people. I'm not allowed to talk about it in any more detail, though. One might expect that their success would rub off a bit, but unfortunately the world isn't like that. :rolleyes:

Perhaps my memoirs will be an interesting read. ;)
.
 
I check the Missed Connections section on Craigslist on a weekly basis, hoping that one day someone out there will notice me
 
I am a huggy kissy guy on here, but in real life I am more reserved unless I know you.
 
just 've found this interesting thread

.. have to go back to it and compose a line..

I'm 1/4 Czech but that has nothing to do with why I use "bohemian" in my username here and elsewhere.
Nice to hear fom you; I wonder which the 'Sin City' is..
