this is a list of things i would like to tell you about myself:

i don't like looking at photographs of people i know

i touch my neck and collarbones when i don't know what to do with my hands

i like to chew the ends of pens

i am terrified that i am or may someday be boring

vacuuming is my least favourite household chore

i have this romantic fantasy that i will one day move to arizona and live in the desert and be dusty and dry and eccentric and have a motorcycle. people will come to visit me in my tiny desert house and we will drink gin and talk about interesting things and watch the stars. even the word arizona is lovely to say. this idea of arizona is so built up in my mind that i almost never want to go there for fear that the real arizona could not help but disappoint, and i don't want to ruin the daydream.

i dance in a manner embarrassingly similar to my mother

i am immediately charmed by anyone whose smile tips up higher on one side

tell me something about yourself if you like

I always love what you post Jessie! I think that daydream sounds terrific and totally doable for you.. I don't think Arizona would disappoint you.. I like to talk to strangers in elevators, while standing in front of the door facing everyone else..it makes them very suspicious and it's fun

great painting. I wish I could find something that makes me happy,I'm going to lose all my Medicare benefits cause they're taking billions of bucks out of it,so my future looks grim.Money changes everything.
Suntan (Dec 21, 2009)

i love to borrow cigs in airports. it's the only time i smoke
i am terrified of the dark, terrified

Flubbles (edited Dec 21, 2009)
I like to give presents rather than recieve them, I feel awkward when somebody gives me something, I feel like i have to give them something in return.

I have recurring dreams where i've killed somebody and i'm on the run form the police, but it's never the same dream there always different.

I'm very suspicious of people on the internet.

I like playing online scrabble

I'm scared of high buildings, i feel like the floor is going to collapse beneath me and i'm going to be swallowed up.

Whenever i'm up somewhere high, i get this overwhelming urge to jump off.

If somebody dares me to do something i have to do it.

I enjoy baking.

I used to be addicted to drug taking.

I'm a pretty cool person to be around, especially when i'm drunk.

I'm a very honest person, never ask me a question if you're scared of the truth.

I found my best friends brother dead when i was thirteen.

I have to have the tv on when i fall sleep.

I prefer baths to showers, i very rarely take a shower.

I enjoy smoking cannabis in the bath.

I've not got a proper job, i gamble for a living.

When i'm not gambling i help my brother landscape gardens etc, right now im turning a double garage into a gym/entertainment room.

I probobly think i'm better at drawing than i actually am.

I'm exactly the same on the internet than i am in real life, but in real life i can be cheeky to people and they know i'm just messing around.

Since it was just my wife an I in the house this morning I came down to breakfast wearing only a pair of black socks and a baseball cap. She was startled for a second and then thought it was funny.
Suntan (Dec 21, 2009)
HAHAHA..that's great, Axil.
Some signs are universal, I bet they are all the same. ;P

She looks like one of the "head" nurses that I knew when I worked at a hospital. She was a tough lady, and she was also an "army" nurse at one time. She was very "strict", but she was always honest and fair. I liked her. "LOL"! There's not much that I can say about myself......I love music, especially the old "classic' rock and oldies but goodies. I could listen to Rod Stewart sing all day long....especially when he sings "Maggie May".....haha! I love to doodle and draw.....I'm an artist wannabe.....and since I've discovered drawing online (digital art)....I've become addicted to it. I love to dance! I put on a cool sounding cd....and my feet just automatically start moving to the "beat" of the drums....I just can't help myself..... I dance like no one is watching...."LOL"!!! I love animals.....if I had the yardspace.....I would have a couple of horses, and a few more big dogs. I love my german shepherd. I have no fear of bugs....I love praying mantises....they're so cool looking. I don't like spiders.....but I don't fear them. I hate to touch those big creepy looking green tomato worms..."Yuck".....they always freak me out! I wish I could learn how to play the guitar.....I always had the desire to have a "jam session" with Eric Clapton...haha! I've lived in 6 different states, and I've seen the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean and two of the Great Lakes. I've always wanted to live in a lighthouse......I love the ocean!! I guess that about describes me....."lol"!! :)

I was out drinking with my friend simon once and he was extremely drunk, when all of a sudden he ran up to a muslim woman in full vail and started dry humping her leg.It was probobly the most horrific event of her life, she started screaming and hitting him over the head with her handbag...but it was probobly one of the funniest thing's i've ever witnessed in my life.
firecracker (Dec 21, 2009)
It doesn't take much to amuse you flubadub....."LOLZ"!! :P
staci (Dec 21, 2009)
something about myself hmmm..

firecracker makes me want to beat her over the head with blunt object.
Roytje (Dec 21, 2009)
I don't like to talk about myself, but I'll give it try. ;)

I don;t fall in love easily.
I can be obsessed by one particulair song.
I'm a bit lazy.
I twirl my hair around my fingers when I'm tired.
I don;t go to the club without drinking alcohol.
I don;t like to smoke cannabis, I always want to go to my bed when I'm stoned.
I don;t like rooms with lots of people.
You and Deino are my favorite artists around here, it;s a shame Deino doesn't draw here anymore.
Flubbles (Dec 21, 2009)
Whats your'e favourite one of their draws?
Roytje (Dec 21, 2009)
Deino and Jessies. :)

Flubbles (Dec 21, 2009)
Meow.
firecracker (Dec 21, 2009)
meow yourself "flubadub".......When I was a kid I used to wrestle with my cousin.....I beat him every time, and we were exactly the same age, but he could never make me say "I give up".... hahaaa!! :P
Axil62 (Dec 21, 2009)
That's because you're such a "bad ass" in real life, right fuck'ncrapper?
firecracker (Dec 21, 2009)
lolzzz axil.......no I'm usually a very shy sweet person......but sometimes goofballs like you and flubadub make me wanna be a "bad ass",,,,,and that's enuff to make me say what I think of jerks like you. I usually just sit back and read your silly comments and say nothing.....but sometimes I just feel like spoutin' off a bit and say what I'm thinking. I am so glad that I am not like you......I wouldn't be able to "stand" myself if I were the kind of person that you make yourself out to be online. I don't know what kind of person you are in real life......I hope it's the "opposite" of what you like people to believe you are online. I have to admit that you are a really great artist.....but you are not a great person. Enuff said......I don't like to get into arguments with anyone online or offline. :)
Axil62 (Dec 21, 2009)
seeeeeeenile.....

thank you all for your lists! i enjoy reading them. i have always sort of wanted to learn sign language as well, it is beautiful to watch. and there is a sort of appropriateness to smoking in airports, or smoking while waiting for things in general. i also enjoy baking but much prefer showers to baths. it is nice to think i might look like a strict but fair wartime nurse, firecracker (this is a self portrait). roy, i am flattered to be held in such esteem, and also wish dieno drew here more. i have similar song obsessions, currently it is the song 'sinai' by these folk http://www.myspace.com/ghostbees
firecracker (Dec 21, 2009)
I meant that as a compliment when I said that you looked like this nurse. She had been an army nurse when she was younger, but when I knew her she was older, and was the "head nurse" on the floor that I worked on. You look like a younger version of this nurse.....and yes, she was very strict, but she was honest and fair.....I had much respect for her. I don't know any sign language at all....I wish I did.....I bet it would be very interesting to learn. Awesome portrait!! :)

(hope this little story doesn't bore you too much....if it does, you can slap me around later =p

I learned a song in sign language a few years ago, a Christmas song to be exact called "Humble Mary, Gentle Mary." (or was that "Gentle Mary, Humble Mary"??) ....Anyway, I learned it from a deaf woman/friend of mine so I could lead her thru the song she was performing during a children's Christmas performance we put together. It wasn't easy to learn as it had many many motions but I was determinded!

During the performance at one point in the song, she swung her hand down and out and hit the live mic stand next to her, knocking it over to the floor with a big crash (she didn't hear a thing tho>wink<)..but, we kept going and finished the song to great applause.

The funny part is that this song was the only (seemingly) 'serious' part of the production but it left everyone a bit confused as to whether or not it was set up and supposed to happen because the play, called "Nativity, The Final Dress Reheasal", was about kids rehearsing for a Christmas play who were not understanding the true meaning of Christmas and sorta write their own parts...for example..."Mary" dresses up in a fancy robe and slippers because after all, she "IS giving birth to the Son of God so why shouldn't she dress up a little" and one of the 3 wise men comes out dressed up as Elvis...he told his mother he needed a costume for a play because he's playing "a King"...She thinks he's playing the part of "The King" and gets him the Elvis costume...he even had a grand entrance with strobe lights, fog and Elvis moves...lol..

Many other 'rehearsed mistakes' take place throughout the whole performance and to this day, no one knows for sure if that mic was hit on purpose or not =) LOL!

nice draw, patience!

I like your story, Elly.
About me..
I'm a funny person.
I've been accused of being 'too nice.'
I used to sing professionally.
I lived in Arizona for 7 yrs, and it was magical.
I've kissed someone for 45 minutes without doing anything else and it was bliss.
Some music moves me to the point of distraction.
I love too deeply.
I'm too hard on myself.
I've done many drugs in my life and am blessed to be alive.
I haven't done any drugs or alcohol since March 12, 1989.
I've been a Den Mother, assistant Soccer Coach, a model and a dancer.
I love creative projects and I've created 2 books so far.
I put together a Celebration of Life Video for two of my favorite people.
My Grandfather looked like Burt Lancaster and my Grandmother looked like Maureen O'hara, and my Mom looked like Natalie Wood as a young girl.
People used to say I looked like Marie Osmond, and in 8th grade, I 'went steady' with a boy for one week who looked like Donny Osmond...lol
When I was 25, I sang at Wahweap Lodge at Lake Powell, in Page, Az. and a little girl asked me for my autograph after the dinner set we did. :o)
My best trait is my friendliness.
My worst trait is my intolerance.

I went to Arizona for Christmas. It wasn't like I imagined but it still was such a wonderful place. Gorgeous scenery, too. I'm going to move there at the end of February.
Love your work. ♥
