My turn! Ask me anything?

[Deleted]

Is it weird to have multiple threads of this going on at once? I didn't post much in my intro thread back in the day, so here goes nothing.

A bird in the hand is like 2 in the bush

What the hell does that mean?

[Deleted]

I read that close to 10x and was all, "huh?"

[cotner]

Is that your tat in your avatar? On your back? How long did that take?

According to usingenglish.com:

'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush' is a proverb meaning that it is better to have something that is certain than take a risk to get more, where you might lose everything.

Also, your sig brings back scary memories for me.

Yeah, thats me. Three 2-1/2 hour sessions. so, 7-1/2 hours. One session for outline, one for shading, one for coloring.

I'm too much of a wimp for tats. My pain threshold has gone way down.

Share your scary bird story, if it's not too bad. I too am scared of birds I don't need nightmares.

What is your stance on intentionally mixed metaphors created for humorous effect?

They sound confusing, but if they are funny, they are funny.

It isn't really bad. When I was about 10 y/o I would go to the local Steam Show (steam engines, steam trains, lots of food, and flea market. my family was a part of the local organization) and there was a woodworker there. I forgot that the year or two before he told me that if you put your arms out, his pet crow will land on your head. I stretched, and was a little too close to the woodworking station. The crow came and landed on my head and was pecking at me (softly.) It scared the shit out of me. The newspaper journalist came by and wanted to take my pic for the paper, then saw the look of sheer terror on my face and my crying ugly face and was like "nevermind!" and walked away. The guy then came and got his bird.

THEN when I was about 12, I had really frizzy hair. I didn't know how to style it at all, so it just looked bad. My friend had a green-cheeked conure and it tried to nest in my hair. I don't like birds anymore.

Wow, I must appear as boring as I feel.

[bonquiqui]

I just saw this.

What color is your car?
Favorite zoo animal?
If you were a ben and jerry's flavor what would you be?

[VeryViolet]

I am unoriginal but why did you decide on the back tattoo? Special meaning? You wanted to look super bad ass?

Car is burgundy, for now. I am looking for a new one. I will take any color but silver.

Favorite Zoo animal is probably the giraffe, it is also DH's favorite animal.

I don't know my ben and jerry's well enough to answer this.

The back tattoo is a coverup that I decided to go a little crazy with. I had the image saved for years and loved it, being a variation on the tree of life with the peace sign in the roots.

[Deleted]

Favorite snack is probably microwave popcorn. I don't really have an embarassing date, I have been with DH since early HS years. I only dated a couple of guys before him. Favorite movie is difficult. I will have to think on that. I like a lot of movies and will watch almost anything.

[Deleted]

Oh! Fave quote is probably "That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age." from Dazed and Confused. That is not my fave movie though.

Who would you air hump (can be anybody, living, dead, famous or not), given the chance?

hmm...Jim Morrison. I don't really have a reason.

I was really drunk at my sister's wedding and was attempting to dance with a very drunk groomsman (this was just this past April) and it probably looked like I was air humping. I kind of was flailing around like one of those wacky inflatable tube man things at car dealerships. There is no photographic evidence, thank god, and his girlfriend and my husband were laughing so hard they were in tears.

[Deleted]

A co worker of mine saw it. Her husband was DJing the wedding and she was assisting. Thankfully she just thought it was funny too and said she was "glad to see me so relaxed" since I was super stressed about my sister's wedding.

How many ghost encounters have you recorded?

[Deleted]

I have been on 5 private residence investigations, only 1 was a bust. Others were just mildly active. I have done about the same number of business investigations. These were either with my previous group or my current group. We are starting to advertise more to try to pick up more client work. Most of what we have gotten were audio files, no full body apparitions. I have been visited in a dream by a ghost though. I had a "feeling" on who it was and did some research on what the person looked like the next morning to verify.

[lucky513]

I lived in a haunted hotel when I was 18 you would love it there

[Deleted]

FYI I don't consider myself psychic or sensitive. I believe this person came to me because of research I was doing about a client case.

Probably very interesting! Have you had any personal experiences?

[lucky513]

Only at that hotel something would wake me up by an intense vibration on my chest
I switched rooms and it happened again

The hotel is the glen tavern inn in Santa Paula ca

[Deleted]

Were you there around 2004? I am only asking because it says they started renovations then. Renovations can "Stir up" spirits, so to speak.

[lucky513]

I think it was around 2002 I think it had a fire and the renovated because of the fire

I had my husband drive by it last week when we were passing through that town
It still looks the same from the outside
