Why on earth would I be offended being labeled as creepy and possibly gay?
Hi Nicole. You don't really need to give me your name, etc. It's a bad idea online unless you're a seller or someone famous. Clearly, we're not going to date.
Personally, I'd tell your friends you're not 12 anymore. Nicole is a beautiful name (I knew a lovely girl from grade school with that name). "Nikki" is like calling "George" "Georgie" or something to my ears ("Cynthia" vs. "Cindy" for example; the former just sounds more proper and regal to my ears).
Well, when you want to know, you want to know. That makes me think of 'Knowledge is Power' which was/is the motto of Phi Eta Sigma, my freshman honor's society I joined when I was in high school (since I took all my classes there that year as it was the only way my parents would get me a car that year and frankly, I liked the pace much better in college. I was bored to death in high school).
Speaking of Sword & Sorcery, I watched "Deathstalker" for the first time a few months back (somehow missed it back then). I don't know that I'd recommend it, though. It felt more like an excuse to do S&M scenes than having real actors or a real plot. The Conan movies were much better made. I think Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger also stuck out for me back then to some extent. That golden statue Minotaur creeped me out as a kid so of course I watched it many times until I had nightmares....
Oh yeah, The Beastmaster was also a favorite. I always liked Marc Singer as an actor (V-The Mini Series and V-The Final Battle). He might not have been muscular enough for you if you were into Arnold and Stallone. But those crazy things with the glowing green eyes and the bat people that ingested people with acid. Tres creepy.
I've got bunnies in my backyard all the time, but even though I always wanted one growing up, their short lifespan would bother me, I think. Getting attached to pets is painful. I still haven't gotten another dog since the Lhasa I had from 3rd grade to my last year in college died back in 1999.
I've got the live action Alice movies in 3D here. Alice Through The Looking Glass is my favorite. I also like the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and a lot of Johnny Depp movies in general (The Nine Gates is my favorite Depp movie, though, a mixture of film noir and supernatural thriller).
My dad wasn't around too much (left when I was 2 as he was a cheating SOB), but he did give us a VCR in 1977 (I was 3), so you can imagine we recorded any movies on blanks we wanted to watch off Star Channel or HBO. I remember he and my brother watched Commando (I was 9 and a half at the time) at the theater without me so when they went to see Delta Force the following week, my dad bought me a ticket to see Commando by myself in the adjoining theater at the same time they were watching that one (oh yeah awesome movie, but rated R with tons of violence and even some nudity).
Can you even imagine a parent trying to do that today? They'd probably get arrested or something (but then so would they for letting us ride in the back of a pickup truck, sit in the front seat as a kid (I got motion sick so I had to or I'd get sick; I guess I'd have to just get sick today, especially when they make you ride backwards in the back seat...OMG...yick). I grew out of the motion sickness (big roller coaster buff), but darn I think kids are perhaps missing out these days (overprotected a bit perhaps?) I was allowed to cross the street when I was 5. Admittedly, I was pretty darn responsible for a kid (being a reincarnate and all), but I'd never let a child cross the street at 5 if I had one! Ah well. I'm still here and only slightly creepy (and apparently not realizing I'm supposed to be gay) as a result.
I obviously don't stenograph, but I can type 80+ WPM on a good day thanks to a single required typing class back in 8th grade (I got on BBS systems a lot so I never lost the skill and it's priceless on message forums, well until I over do it and come across as creepy for saying too much to a total stranger
.Ok, I realize I'm doing that creepy social sharing thing again I'd call conversation in the real world.... Sorry. Mea Culpa. I feel like Sheldon Cooper realizing he just missed sarcasm once again. Oh god, he's gay in real life. No, not like Sheldon at all. (You don't happen to like Enigma or Tori Amos do you?) It's probably best if you don't as I might feel the urge to start sharing again, although it's getting off-topic for my own thread.
Oh no, I just realized being a Tori Amos fan probably makes me sound even more gay.... Hey, I like Pink Floyd's music a lot too along with Billy Joel, Billy Idol and, hey, George Michael!
Ok, I'm on the verge of rambling on all over again (it's like a disease!) I'm going to stop and go back to my corner again and put my creepy (possibly gay) hat back on that Snape wore in that scene as that dude's Grandma in The Prisoner of Azkaban (when it was a Boggart). Hell, I just realized Boggart...Bogart. What was Rowling saying about Humphrey Bogart there in innuendo? He was only scary until you laughed at him?
You see I could never have this conversation with a regular lady as they would have run away after the third response for sure! Nerdy is far more interesting.
Frankly, your husband could probably kick my arse anyway so we should stop talking now before he finds out you've been talking to a slightly creepy potentially gay unaware guy on the Internet that lives many hundred miles away from you.
