Give me something to read when I'm all examed out

Cleo says:

I know very little about some of the people on my friends' list. Some people I know relatively well. I read your fic, 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.

But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes spinach."

I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. Yes, even you people who I know really well. Then post this in your own journal.

So c'mon, my little chickadees. How would you like me to remember you?

The first CD I ever bought was the soundtrack to Jurassic Park. I still love it.

hey srah--I lurk here a lot and read faithfully. A little something I discovered about myself yesterday at our office holiday party last night--

I am very shy when it comes to meeting new people, particularly male adults for some reason. I would rather make an ass out of myself on the dance floor than mingle with others. Now I am bowing my head in shame and embarrassment today.

I like Neil Diamond too.

One of my feet is terribly diseased, but I love the smell of it. I want to say that on my own blog, but I'm afraid people woud stop reading it.

My name is Jez. I lurk here a lot and I comment here a lot too.

I'm hopeless at things like this.

Erm....

Although I am perfectly willing to gaze into a computer monitor for hours on end, television bores me rigid. Unless there's a good football (soccer) match on.

How's that? Rubbish? OK, I'll get my coat...

I'm that guy that comments on here from time to time and is somewhere around Ann Arbor snapping pictures of the scenery. I always check the website before and after class and always enjoy the writing

I'm the girl who gets mistaken for you all the time even though we really don't look all that similar.

When I was a kid, my favorite movie was Ernest Goes to Camp. (Note that this is even funnier if you're familiar with my current taste in film.) I learned the song "So Happy Together" by watching this movie.

Thankfully, I've grown up and no longer enjoy the Ernest movies.*

*...or do I?

Even though I'm not 'depressed' anymore, I still don't feel like I'm me anymore. And that's really disconcerting.

I could have been your greatest adventure.

Well, here's two things that were meant to be one:

I used to sing Def Leppard songs on karaoke, and many more too, but i can't remember them (which is the second thing -- i can't seem to remember details about the past for anything... like some people can tell stories about what they've done or like or read or watched or visited ... i just don't remember -- strange huh?)

If a rush song comes on when I'm alone in the car I sing every word and play air drums.

I have taken the Albion exit off 94 many times (just to go to McDonald's and/or get gas) and only just realized on the last stop (in September) that that's how you get to the school.

I've been actively (and somewhat unsuccessfully) avoiding my boss for 7 hours now. I have also been trying to ascertain if she's walking funny since she just returned from her honeymoon.

I first started reading your blog because I thought you were a person that I knew. I realized I was wrong but kept reading.

Oh, and it's 3:30 am and I'm reading blogs while drinking OJ from the carton.

I never throw away letters or cards that people write me. I have bags and boxes and file cabinet full of thousands of personal letters dating back to the 60s. I just can't toss 'em--they're so personal! I've been lugging this pile of wood pulp--er, cherished communiques--around for years and years now from home to home.

I taught people to drive semis and buses for six years
I'm currently in the middle of my life (assuming a normal life expectancy) and taking computer science classes and working part time in our college library computer lab
I think of you when I work in said library for some reason
I have lately started appreciating the beauty of youth, no matter what a person's physical characteristics
I ate two shortbread cookies while I thought about what to write here, after promising myself that I wouldn't eat any more till Christmas

The first think I think about when getting online is checking your blog, although this is the first time I've ever commented... and I have a hopeless attraction to anyone who even slightly resembles Mr. Darcy I mean Colin Firth, or any other gorgeous British actor, for that matter.

Hmmmm, I'm a lurker.

I've been told that I could very-well be the love-child of Conan O'brien and Chris O'Donnell.

As such, I have a very large cranium and hats don't fit me all that well.
