    3 things and a quirk

    Members new and old, share with us 3 things about yourself that could be common knowledge and then a unique quirk that would be hard to guess.

    1. I'm a fan of Robin Hobb's books. I am working towards owning all her books.
    2. I write music. Music and my spiritual health are closely entwined.
    3. I came to PF to begin searching for a new form of spirituality. Instead, I have ended up expanding my existing one.

    Quirk: I'm fastidious about oral hygiene. At 32, I still have a baby tooth in my lower jaw. The dentist said this is because there is no adult tooth growing underneath to push it out. A quirk inherited most likely from my father.

    Re: 3 things and a quirk

    1. I am a big history buff. I never was that way when I was younger, but now I love to read history books like mad.
    2. I love reading graphic novels and Hellboy is one of my favorite series.
    3. The Saw movie series is my all time favorite. I can watch the entire series all the time.

    Quirk: I still write fanfiction even though I am 33 years old.

      1. I live in beautiful, though destitute, Northern Michigan.
      2. I teach high school English.
      3. I'm fascinated by science-y stuff.

      Quirk: I collect fungi. Seriously. I really do.
      Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

        1. I'm a pastry cook. And I love all foods. Asian and Italian are my favorite.

        2. Originally a Texan now I live in wisconsin.

        3. I love reading.

        I refuse to eat birds like chicken, duck, pheasant, turkey off the bone. I believe it has something to do with my dad making fried chicken for dinner 2-3 nights a well for 10 years.

          This won't be easy for someone who shares so much about themselves on this forum. Things I don't think I've mentioned though..

          1) As of 3 days before the end of 2015, I can now read all and write most of the 2136 jouyou kanji (Chinese characters classified as general use and taught during compulsory education in Japan). I can also read and write a handful of none jouyou kanji.
          2) Last year I taught myself to speed read in order to increase neuroplasticity having discovered this could improve my ability to learn and use Japanese. Since then I've taught myself other mental tricks and can now recite all the facts from several episodes of QI, in the order they appear and including names, dates, places and statistics. I've started learning to memorise the order of decks of playing cards too. All to keep my brain firing on all cylinders!
          3) I have spent the last few weeks reading my forum posts and journals etc from last year and drew up a month by month pen picture of my life in 2015. I can say with absolute certainty that I am far healthier in mind, body and spirit, than I was this time last year!

          Quirk: I'm a bit of a clean freak, but I don't want people to think I'm a clean freak. So I deliberately leave strategically selected 'clutter' lying around. For example. If I know someone is coming over but I've just cleaned the flat from top to bottom, I'll put an empty cup and saucer on the draining board, because I'm the kind of gal who doesn't need to wash her dishes right away! I'll place my keys on the table in the hall, maybe with a hat, and I'll open a magazine and leave it on the coffee table as though I was just reading it. I think it's because I don't want it to look like I just cleaned because I had guests coming over. A bit of clutter looks more like we just live like that!
          夕方に急なにわか雨は「夕立」と呼ばれるなら、なぜ朝ににわか雨は「朝立ち」と呼ばれないの? ^^If a sudden rain shower in the evening is referred to as an 'evening stand', then why isn't a shower in the morning called 'morning stand'?

            1. I suck at sharing information about myself (like intros or meet the staff... Notice how there is none for/about me?)
            2. I love it when people play with my hair.
            3. I hate taking baths but love hot tubs.

            Quirk: I'm gonna have to come back to this another time.

                1.) I play Guitar and 32 string and 47 string Harp and sing, I even have a soundcloud
                2.) I speak 4 languages (elvish is one though I guess its not a real language) and I am learning a 4th
                3.) I draw and paint but hardly ever share my work

                Quirk: I sometimes feel I am too selfless but I can't help it, I put others needs and happiness above my own because I feel it's the right thing to do.

                  Uh not under your toes or between them, right? right?

                  1. We all know I'm my own personal zombie expert in all things zombie literary related. I don't really care for zombie movies though.

                  2. I am a die hard nin/manson/tool fan. To this day I listen to one of them daily.

                  3. I love all things spicy!

                  Quirk you may not know? If I stub my left foot on the sidewalk or grass or whatever, I must stub the right as well. It's my small form of I dunno, ocd? Like I stop all that I am doing and must make sure if my left foot hit the bike pedal, my right foot must do it. I have to have that symmetry, but only with my feet and not my arms etc. I realize others may say the term ocd is thrown around too loosely. But in this case this small thing will rule me till it's done. Even if it's minutes later, my brain is still tallying up if things went even with my feet or not.

                      Re: 3 things and a quirk

                      1. I disliked my name for a long time, for a couple of reasons. Especially, as a child, it bothered me when my relatives would do the southern thing and call me by my first and middle names together, with their Texan accents; growing up there the first 17 years of my life, I never had the accent. It just sounded so bumpkin to me! I've also always thought it looked and sounded awkward, being a 4 letter first name, 3 letter middle name and 4 letter last name; too many short names always seemed ... I don't know, choppy? LOL Anyway, once growing into my spirituality and developing a love for and connection with the fae, I'm thrilled at the realization that my name translates to Pure Fairy Hill.

                      2. I'm actively planning to someday open a gift/consignment-of-sorts/metaphysicalish shop. A total girly store, but of course the men folk aren't barred or anything (unless they obnoxiously complain aloud to their wives, which I loathe encountering while shopping in feminine environments). The consignment part will be to help out fellow handmade artisans; a certain percent (which I haven't determined yet; ideally, the majority though) of my store's products will be handmade. I want to do more than just take my percentage of profits in turn for the space to sell their items. I want to help promote them on my shop's social media pages and hold in store events where they can demonstrate/give samples of/talk about their items and companies. The ethic is to support buying from handmade artisans, small businesses and locally when possible. It won't be a full on, true metaphysical shop, but there will be some metaphysical and new age items and services. Bath & beauty, home & garden, artsy/crafty and spiritual things. The motivation is to every day immerse myself in all the things I love and share those things with others who get joy from them and also to someday honor and remember the happy memories of quality time spent with my mom (who's still alive) going to all our favorite shops with those same elements. Also, factor in my life path of 5 that I'm aiming to live more in accordance with. I'm the freedom loving/needing 5 and have always had an entrepreneurial/wanna be my own boss and call the shots nature, so I've been determined to have my own business for years now. It wasn't until much career oriented soul searching over the last year that I discovered I'd like to own a gift shop.

                      3. Going with the career talk, I'm certified and/or licensed at three things I only briefly pursued and don't plan to again (at least not as careers). I'm certified at medical billing and insurance coding, which only ever landed me a medical records position at an outpatient medical facility; it didn't even involve billing/coding work. I'm certified in beauty and fashion makeup artistry and spent the last 5 years putting too much time, energy and money into that only to end up broke and burned out. It's an oversaturated industry and add to that the consumer fooling commercialism of the cosmetics industry that leads women to believe that they can do it themselves with all the precision and skill of the pros with this gimmick product and that innovative device (which ends up robbing professionals of opportunities where their expertise is needed) ... don't get me started on Youtube makeup "gurus"! As if that weren't enough, in a last ditch effort to rekindle my waning love for the beauty industry, I decided to take an esthetician course, because I had been wanting to add skincare as a foundation to my makeup knowledge. I completed that and passed state board receiving my license. My first room rental situation, working in a salon was a negative experience and was the straw that broke the camel's back. That's what sparked the career soul searching and led me to what I've decided to pursue. I need something that is primarily mine and isn't heavily reliant on cooperation from others to execute (at least not as reliant as in my former vocations)!

                      Well, number three sure was cathartic! LOL

                      Quirk: The middle toe on my right foot is shorter than the two around it. One of my exes used to tease me and call it my Texan toe (implying inbreeding). My mom says it's a German descended thing some of the women in her family have/had.

                        Re: 3 things and a quirk

                        Let's see now...
                        1. I get into Amazon or Zap (an Israeli site, like Amazon but is active in Israel) for fun, even if I don't need anything.
                        2. I'm lazy, but when I have a purpose, I do everything I can in order to achieve it.
                        3. Juni doesn't know i still sneak in for her cats when she's asleep or not at home. The dog stays silent cuz my eyes glow out of amusement. My.... PREEECIOUS (eco: "PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS...")!! Also I might have given the dog a snack.

                        Quirk: I have adjustment issues. Which is a real drag.

                          LMAO - while I do have a yellow toenail, it isn't an official part of the collection.

                          I prefer the Fungi perfecti to the Fungi imperfecti, although I confess to an interest in slime molds.

                              3 things that could be common knowledge

                              1) I love pizza more than is healthy
                              2) I am at times a secretive bastard
                              3) I enjoy older star wars characters

                              1 quirk that would be hard to guess:

                              Ermm, my hard to guess quirks are probably hard to guess by design therefore secretive bastard bylaws dictate that I not answer this.
                              life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

                              Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

                              "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

                              John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

                              "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
