Seen anything weird lately? A crazy old lady while I was on my way to work this morning. She was in front of me and I went to pass her in the lane next to me. It was in the mid 40s and she was dressed like it was the dead of winter. Instead of using her visor to block the sun, she drove down the road with her gloved hand up in the air to block the sun from her eyes...all the while driving horribly. This was not a short-term solution to block the sun...I kept checking in my rear view mirror and she was still doing it!

Do you believe in love at first sight?
Sort of. I do believe that most of who a person is, is apparent at first sight, if you're paying attention and not dismissing any of what feels like instinct as irrational. It won't be as much love as you'll feel for the person ten years down the road, of course, but it may be love nonetheless.

I tend to attract more gay men than women (I wonder what that says about me), but I did have a close friend who tried out homosexuality briefly and wanted me to be her new squeeze. But hey, it was high school - hormones are crazy.
Do you like random polls?
Depends on what's in them. Sometimes they're boring, but usually there's at least one question I'm interested to find out about others.
Do you beleive in love at first sight? Not Love but I sometimes get a strong of connection at first sight. It?s been 6 months I secretly admire a guy from a distance, I sensed something right away when we first met and I still feel the same way today.
Seen anything weird lately? Hmmm hard to say as nothing surprises me anymore in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Do you fake bake? I?ve done it before during the middle of winter in one of the coldest place in the US. I was depressed and miserable with the weather and it was so nice enjoying the warmth and fake sun. It is extremely hard for me to tan so I didn?t appear tan to others. I don?t think I would ever do it again; it is so bad for your skin.
How far away from your birthplace do you live? I am a country away.
Can you touch your nose with your tongue? No, but close enough.

For some reason I keep visualizing this and laughing!!!
Seems like you're trying to imply something by your response. I'm heterosexual. While I have no problem with people who are homosexual (I have several gay friends) and what they do is their business, I can't say I enjoy getting hit on by women. Especially online when my profile clearly says that I'm straight, not gay. I know I posted about that on here previously.
Oh it was hilarious! Definitely a sight to see! It made me laugh for sure!
Do you beleive in love at first sight? To an extent, yes. I felt instantly connected to G when I first met him. There was something in his eyes that just drew me in.

Yes, thank you Kuus. This is exactly what I was getting at.
Sometimes, when I'm hit on, it IS gross. But I've been hit on infinitely more grossly by men than women. And when a guy I'm not into or a woman I'm not into gives it a whirl, my first instinct is not, "yuck," provided the person is respectful,
So, yeah. I side-eye the "yuck." I side-eye the hell out of it.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Side-eye away, internet stranger. You don't know me. I prefer to only be hit on by attractive people because I'm shallow like that. LOL.
