I'm Spook Central - I've had so many paranormal experiences they seem fairly commonplace to me.

My favorite food is Indian food (particularly Southern Indian.)

Fire is usually painted orange, but I know it has more than just that color.

I used to restore cars.

Petee - that pattern has some flaws in it. Or maybe I got a defective copy (directed me to make cuts that ultimately would weaken the slops and had no earthly purpose, no way to realistically join the front to the back, that sort of thing.)

^likes to go to Cons

I haven't been able to listen to the Doors since 1968 (long story.)

I'm feeling discouraged. I'm looking for a job and keep getting calls and e-mails for similar jobs to the job I was doing, but I left it for a reason (several reasons, actually.) There are other things I am qualified to do and want to do, but it's tough to get back into them since my last job was something else. There's nothing more frustrating and ego-destroying than job hunting!

I've never had a cavity either (and I'm in my 40's.)

^ is into fencing

I was featured on an episode of "In Search of..."

Some of us (myself included) have had to go through similar stuff, so we can sympathize with you. It's tough to go through that mix of emotions that accompany a loved one's death after a long illness. Right now, I'm looking at my turtle doing what Jack and I call her "egg dance". She's uncomfortable and trying to spend as much of her time standing on her back legs. However, turtles aren't meant to stand that way, so she falls over a lot. The way she's carrying on, it looks like she's carrying quite a load of eggs.

I have about 50 scars (mostly small and mostly on my hands - will never be a hand model...)

"Drat - that's an electric eel!" he exclaimed just as he was shocked.

Truth is in the eye of the beholder.
