i bounce up and down as i walk

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:31 (twenty years ago) link

apparently I flirt with people without knowing it.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:35 (twenty years ago) link

I thought hippies and badly fitting pants drove everyone insane?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 01:56 (twenty years ago) link

Hating hippies is not a sign of Type A personality so much as a sign of having a sense of smell.

Once a horrible sleazy guy at an IRC meet told me I puffed my cheeks out whenever I drank liquid. ie take a sip of whatever, fill cheeks up with it, then swallow. I guess I subconciously knew I did this but no one ever pointed at me and said "you fucking freak" about it.

I was also informed by my first bf that I "walk like a duck". I've been paranoid about my gait ever since. Thats a bunch, Tony.

Trayce, I think ducks have a very nice walk.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:34 (twenty years ago) link

Hippies are often wearing badly fitting pants.

No one ever tells me things about me. Except "you have food on your upper lip" and so on.

i didn't especially notice you had a strange walk trayce. nor this puffer fish thing either :)

― the surface noise (electricsound), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:45 (twenty years ago) link

I also run like a duck - always have, always will.

I am tall, so they say. I should have played basketball.

Oh yeah, also I saw this pic of me from this summer over Christmas. I grabbed it up in horror. I'm all slouched over in it and look like crap. I asked my youngest sister (she's 21), "I don't really look like this do I???" making sure she was aware of the answer I wnted. Instead, she replied, "Oh, yes, that looks exactly like you. You really should try to sit up straighter."

Ok, thanks, now I know I look like crap all the time, beeooowtch. ha ha

OMG I just scored 100% on the type A quiz. I guess this explains why I'm still at fucking work at 10pm AT A JOB I QUIT TWO WEEKS AGO.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 6 January 2004 02:53 (twenty years ago) link

I smoke like an old woman.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 03:06 (twenty years ago) link

strange grabbing movements with my hand when im tring to formulate a thought (in speech) as if im physically trying to grasp it.

― jed_ (jed), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 05:05 (twenty years ago) link

puffer fish thing, hahaha!

Apparently my gait (ie being knock-kneed and pigeon-toed) is a good way to get a Marilyn sexy-bum swagger (for, 'twas she who had knock knees also thus her cute wobble-butt walk), No wonder guys say I have a nice arse.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 05:09 (twenty years ago) link

she shaved 2 inches off one of her hi heel shoes to amplify that walk btw

― Orbit (Orbit), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 06:18 (twenty years ago) link

According to a man named Chuck I am "ill on the keys".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 06:42 (twenty years ago) link

at my most haggard, i look like either uma thurman or courtney love!

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 10:08 (twenty years ago) link

that is the worst photo ever taken of me! also, i have a really strong southern accent.

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 10:10 (twenty years ago) link

I'm really cool.

This told to me by an old friend who I confessed my crush on to today and was told along with "maybe three years ago things would have been different" and anyway I'm still thinking of her smile, her gait, all tha little things that make me want to eat her right up. Also, I want to call her "captain, my captain" fwiw. (not in a kinky way either)

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 10:25 (twenty years ago) link

I stick my tongue out when I am putting a mouthful of food in there. I have tried to curb this one.
Also, apparently I have green eyes even though they have been blue for the last 27 years!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 12:26 (twenty years ago) link

I apparently have good skin. I think people who say this are crazy, but a few people have said this so .... (My mom: "When did your complexion get so good? Oh, I guess you got old")

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 15:07 (twenty years ago) link

someone just called and told me that when my hair is dark, i look like the girl in shakespeare's sister that isn't in bananarama.

i'm researching this to see if this is a compliment or insult.

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:15 (twenty years ago) link

I'm an asshole apparently, and arrogant/snobbish as well.

I have beautiful eyelashes that several ex-girlfriends have been bitterly jealous of.

When I used to smoke, I smoked like a girl and held my cigarettes too high.

― webcrack (music=crack), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

Colette, it's a compliment. Though however well-meant, you do not look like Siobhan Fahey. You look better than that, she is a bit ropey and Pam Hogg-looking now.

― suzy (suzy), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:23 (twenty years ago) link

Suzy, I think they meant Marcella Detroit, i.e. the one who isn't in Bananarama. I don't think that's an insult either.

― Markelby (Mark C), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:31 (twenty years ago) link

i think he meant the detroit one as well. but all the pictures online are fuzzy or her hair is covering her face.

and since i'd never heard of her (or the band) i guess that ruins my potential career as a celeb impersonator!

and as long as we're allowed to disagree with people, mr. crack you're more of an elitist, surely?

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:49 (twenty years ago) link

actually, there may be a market for vaguely familiar, but unplaceable celebrity lookalikes. because that would only heighten the versimilitude!

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

(insert an I somewhere)

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

and as long as we're allowed to disagree with people, mr. crack you're more of an elitist, surely?

That does tend to sum it up, doesn't it? Though I like to think that my elitist tendencies have dimmed to a certain extent.

― webcrack (music=crack), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 16:53 (twenty years ago) link

well, huck, if you ever find details of that market, let me know. people are always saying, 'you look like that one girl. you know, from that show/band/movie'. usually they mean someone that had a bit part on 'saved by the bell' or something.

but if i could make money off of their confusion, that would rock!

― colette (a2lette), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:00 (twenty years ago) link

i walk like a penguin.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

attention: all pigeon-toed knock-kneed women report to Matos immediately. thank you.

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:20 (twenty years ago) link

and he claims he doesn't know he's flirting!

― mullygrubber (gaz), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:31 (twenty years ago) link

that's not flirting, it's being an obnoxious twat

― M Matos (M Matos), Tuesday, 6 January 2004 22:35 (twenty years ago) link

it's a fine line between the two

― tokyo rosemary (rosemary), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 03:34 (twenty years ago) link

I supposedly look like a Renoir. Which painting was not specified.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:37 (twenty years ago) link

Apparently I mix up "bought" and "brought" all the time.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:38 (twenty years ago) link

it's a line I spend most of my life crossing to the wrong side of

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:40 (twenty years ago) link

That I walk fast.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 04:41 (twenty years ago) link

That I have 25 years of experience dealing with difficult women. Thanks, Mom (note: she is the one who told me this).
