Does cleavage serve some other purpose aside from attracting attention I'm unaware of? I mean you have to buy a special bra and everything, so maybe it does

I mean obv just staring at it in "conversation" is atrociously rude, but y'know it's not very surprising, I suppose. I don't do it but I DO read shirts a lot

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:33 (twenty years ago) link

Shirts about breasts?

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Monday, 5 January 2004 13:37 (twenty years ago) link

I didn't know that I sing under my breath. At work. Constantly. Apparently.

(Hi and happy new year by the way. No posts for nearly three weeks, what have I been DOING?!)

The tip of my nose wiggles up and down when I talk.

the hair on the back of my neck spells out "OMFG"

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 14:55 (twenty years ago) link

my spunk tastes like blackberry jam

i was not aware of this?

― omg, Monday, 5 January 2004 15:45 (twenty years ago) link

My accent changes significantly and immediately depending on who I am speaking with, which I was unaware of previously.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 15:58 (twenty years ago) link

Hi Archel!
Um, I've been called scary. I have also been told that I look like a bouncer. I do not beleive either of these things.

― Matt (Matt), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

My blood type is A+.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:02 (twenty years ago) link

I have a moviestar nose. Whoopee doo.

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

I've been told I'm scary as well by guys who could EASILY kick my ass. I've been told that I smell good even without having to use cologne. I should do like Sammy Kershaw and sell my sweat as a perfume. YUMMY.

― Bryan (Bryan), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

I have some sort of problem with authority.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:09 (twenty years ago) link

I have two extra teeth.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:14 (twenty years ago) link

I have balls the size of coconuts.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:15 (twenty years ago) link

I am "like a cartoon character".

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

I sound like fucking Rowley Birkin QC, can't you shape up, man for god's sake?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:16 (twenty years ago) link

I sabotage my chances at happiness.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:17 (twenty years ago) link

Apparently I walk with a swagger. (Undeserved, most likely.)

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:18 (twenty years ago) link

My boyfriend is really weird. Oh wait, I knew that without having to be told.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:18 (twenty years ago) link

I'm really annoying.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:19 (twenty years ago) link

I don't have a lot of self-confidence in the sack.

― Huckleberry Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago) link

People actually said these things to you guys? To your face? Odd.

I apparently also have a very distinctive walk but I don't see how it differs from anyone else's. I mean, people spot me from a while away and I'm like, how did you know it was me? And the answer is like 90% of the time, from the way you were walking. WTF?

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:22 (twenty years ago) link

Everybody has a distinctive gait, I've actually had occasions where I didn't recognize somebody until they started moving and then I knew exactly who they were.

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:28 (twenty years ago) link

Ally, that's not about yourself...

Mine is: when VERY tired, my left eye goes a bit lazy. Kapow goes any hopes of broadcasting career (although it hasn't harmed Natasha Walter's prospects).

― suzy (suzy), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:29 (twenty years ago) link

I have inherited my father's gait, even tho i have a longer stride.

― Kingfishee (Kingfish), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:33 (twenty years ago) link

Suzy's reply wins. Anyway I disagree about this gait thing, I've never noticed people having some kind of distinctive walk. Except this one dude I knew but that was because he purposely tried to strut like John Travolta everywhere, so it was kind of obvious

I'M NOT SAYING YOU'RE WRONG OBVIOUSLY EVERYONE'S WALK IS GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BEING AS WE ARE NOT IN THE CLONE AGE YET.* I AM SAYING I HAVEN'T NOTICED THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEOPLE TO BE SO EXTRAORDINARY AS TO BE COMMENTED UPON. OK?

* I think. I wish we had, I would send my clone to work.

― Allyzay, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:39 (twenty years ago) link

Back on topic, I also never knew I was a Type A personality until I was sitting in class at 22 and I said 'I took this test last night and it said I had a Type A personality, WTF is up with that' and everybody in the room was like "DUHHH HELLO"

― TOMBOT, Monday, 5 January 2004 16:43 (twenty years ago) link

What's a 'Type A Personality'?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:45 (twenty years ago) link

"there's something different about you. did you lose more hair?"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:46 (twenty years ago) link

Haha I'm 47% Type A. Three years ago I would probably have been all the way. Three years from now, I'll probably be Hansel.

Why do people continue to employ Natasha Walter? Her feminism book was one of the worst things i've ever read, i don't think i managed more than about 10 pages.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:50 (twenty years ago) link

Because she can *** a ************ through a *******, maaan.

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 16:53 (twenty years ago) link

You seem to be in the middle between the Type A and Type B personality. In this case, the middle ground is good. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind and you know how and when to relax. Nonetheless, you realize that picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life. The equilibrium is important, so don't let your hostile, aggressive, and competitive alter ego take over too often. Generally, you are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. Yours is a very healthy attitude towards life.

You seem to be far from having a Type A personality. Your attitude to life is more of the "smell the roses" kind. You know how and when to relax. The hostile, aggressive and competitive part of you surfaces rarely. You are easy to be around, and people tend to feel relaxed and comfortable in your presence. It's a very healthy attitude towards life. Just make sure you don't miss important opportunities because of being too cool and relaxed. Picking up a challenge and competing a little bit for your place in the sun can add some spice to your life.

You thrive on rubbish cliches and mixed metaphors.

ooh i got the same thing as nick (44% B)

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:19 (twenty years ago) link

79% A, but I didn't really need a test to tell me that.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:21 (twenty years ago) link

Eeek I am scared of all you go-getters now. I was 29%.

― Archel (Archel), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:22 (twenty years ago) link

Link didn't work for me, but I don't believe in all that shit anyway. What's type A and what's type B? Does me being sceptical without any grounds whatsoever to be so make one of these types anyway?

― Enrique (Enrique), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

*steals archel's job* mwahahahahhahaa

― ken c (ken c), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:23 (twenty years ago) link

Maybe this link will work for you, Enrique.

that's just creepy

― Orbit (Orbit), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:37 (twenty years ago) link

mark s told me at a fap that I was the biggest idealist on the board. I told him I didn't know what it meant since I did not attend a humanities type department at university so he shouldn't take advantage.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:38 (twenty years ago) link

My girlfriend told me the other day that I speak really slowly to people I don't know, especially if I'm trying to be polite (like in a job interview or meeting inlaws etc) and this has the opposite effect of making me sound either stupid or condescending or a bit of both.

No wonder I can't get a decent job!

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 5 January 2004 17:51 (twenty years ago) link

I was told that about how I speak differently with people with strong accents. With a different cadence or something.

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

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