1. I am good at singing
Edited on Sat Aug-09-03 01:08 AM by Cheswick
lucky for me I love it too.

My other talent is photography. I used to do a lot of theater pics, porfolios for lighting directors, scenic designers and actors head shots. I also took lots of kids portraits.
I have a slide show from Haiti that I would love to put online (to show people who have never been there what life is like) but I can't afford to buy the space it would take.

on edit, don't mean to sound like I am whining. I will get my web site up one day after I finish school and have regular employment.

20. aahhh
you might be able to pick up a good deal at a camera store. Oddly enough one of my best cameras is a cheap Konica I got with a time mag subcription about 15 years ago. It has several lenses and it takes great pics. It is totally manuel and I would not trade it for the world.

8. Nah, girls are easier... they are clean and don't wreck things
like boys. If I had boys I would have to kill them, cause I know what they are thinking.
As for boyfriends/sons-in-law, well, all you can do is give them the best info you can their whole young life, and they will pick the right ones... or I can just sit there oiling my shotguns and sharpening my knives when they come over.

14. A rendvous with my sister always began like this
Knock knoc

Older brother in boxers and t-shirt answers door, it looks like you've woken him up...you say

uhh...is Stacey here? (a nicely as possible) he answers
"WHo the fuck wants to know"

A bit more of that just to scare him on behalf of my dad...then I'd let him pass. It was great because if they got serious with my sis, I'd be nice and they'd love me for it...asss kissers!

my webserver is down at the moment so I can't post it :-(

re: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=152298&mesg_id=152298#152525

I was going to start a "DU Photoshop contest thread, here's a blank", but I guess that'll have to wait.

Imagine the book cover with the words "PIOUS LIBERAL" missing and the author's head in place of Sen Lieberman's.

Anyone have some text suggestions?

27. Yep, but I truly admire people who are really GOOD at something
there's sooooooooo many things to see and do and try....one lifetime is just too short for it all. Guess that's why I admire the people who really can focus on 'that one thing'.
