I love food, cooking and sharing it, and I love being a host. I have the best snack cupboard around!

People tell me they admire my perseverance and drive, but deep down, I am hitting myself in the face with the hammer of anxiety at almost every turn, and it is only my close friends who get to see this side of me.

I flirt with all kinds of people, haha. Just for fun.

I Fluther naked.

Rarebear's avatar

I’m not made of jelly.

SpatzieLover's avatar

I’m tired.

Also I swear like a sailor.

thorninmud's avatar

That the “real” me” is not so different from the “real” you.

laineybug's avatar

I say really stupid things on a daily basis. They just kind of fly out of my mouth, I really don’t know why.

Judi's avatar

I don’t have any close friends that aren’t family.

marinelife's avatar

That I am a big softie inside.

jca's avatar

I’m silly and a bit nasty.

JLeslie's avatar

Something they don’t know already? Maybe that if you ask me to go somewhere, over to your house, out for a coffee, meet up to go shopping, to a party, pretty much anything (anything reasonable, not talking about wild orgy parties or jumping out of planes) I will usually say yes. Even last minute.

deni's avatar

@JLeslie That’s a great trait to have. I really appreciate when friends are down for whatever, whenever (within reason, ya know). Like I have to be at work in an hour or so and I just texted my friend about going to breakfast before then, I’d be ecstatic if he said yes since it’s so last minute!

Me, my biggest fear is caterpillars and I have a really foul mouth and love snuggling.

Cruiser's avatar

@erichw1504 That is already a well known fact about you! Tell us something new! XD
@Rarebear what then are you made of??

chyna's avatar

I have a sick sense of humor and can pretty much make any sentence into something dirty.

ucme's avatar

I have fabulous skin & an almost classic profile, oh & my nipples can pick up radio broadcasts from most of continental europe.

bookish1's avatar

@JLeslie: I’d totally take up an invitation to a wild orgy party at the last minute!

Blackberry's avatar

People keep saying I’m a cool/good person.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

I’ll echo @chyna.

Also, I try to eat more healthy foods, but I’m a terrible cheater and have no willpower when it comes to all things unhealthy.

Ummm… I’m not nearly as bitchy in person, unless something really sets me off.

The “real” me also involves being a complete readaholic and a Fire tablet addict.

And I collect dragons of all sorts. Don’t judge me!

JLeslie's avatar

Oh, and I don’t get bent out of shape at all if someone turns down an invitation, no need to make up some excuse, I’ll just catch you next time.

DigitalBlue's avatar

Lots of jellies do know the “real” me. To those that don’t: I’m a hermit.

erichw1504's avatar

@Cruiser I also shower naked.

Cruiser's avatar

@erichw1504 now that is unexpected! lol

Bluefreedom's avatar

They would learn that I don’t always see a reflection when I look in the mirror. It’s kind of cool, actually.

Coloma's avatar

I have a secret language that I use to communicate with my pets.

I am an options open type of gal, and often I will keep my options open until the 11th hour. lol

I am a bit scattered and absent minded at times, part of my MBTI personality typology, the ENTP. We are known as a perfect blend of brilliance and absent minded professor.

Part of my typology is also our ability to make seemingly disparate connections that evade others. Call it ADD or, as I prefer, free association. I’m sure an ink blot test coming from my brains orientation would certainly invent a brand new category of unusual psychology.

My driving might scare you, I travel in a state of subconscious “drive” a lot of the time, but hey….so far, so good, no major accidents ever, they all take place in my own driveway. haha

I have zero patience for overly emotional types that lack logical reasoning power.
Unusual for a lot of females. I do not do well with fragile personalities that are always upset and offended by every little thing real or imagined.

I love frogs and am eccentric in caring for my little froggy friends, often staying up way past my bedtime so the new baby froglets get plenty of bug catching time under my porchlight.

My humor is rather perverse, note” perverse not perverted and I can often stun others with my off the wall, bold deliveries. I have been told that I am ” in a league of my own.” lol

I also shower in my garden hose on hot nights and frolic with my goose and the frogs in my cold hot tub.

I often have all my phones turned off, do NOT wake me up!
If you are dead at 2am you will be just as dead at 6am and sleep is for the living. ;-)

My shoelaces keep coming undone.

erichw1504's avatar

I am lazier than my cat.

erichw1504's avatar

I eat popcorn with a fork.

bookish1's avatar

@erichw1504 : You’re just joshing, right? (O)_(O)

erichw1504's avatar

@bookish1 No, my name is Erich.

Dr_C's avatar

I’m very tall and also fluther naked. In fact, I do many things naked. I talk to my pets… LOVE TO GOLF. I have CDO when it comes to wine, scotch and certain foods. Quiet time is not to be interrupted under any circumstances. I will make a joke out of anything. I enjoy getting reactions out of people and try to find the positive in any situation.

If you attempt to remove food from my plate, there is a good chance that you will lose a limb.

bookish1's avatar

@Dr_C: Yep, taking food off someone’s plate is a beating offense in my book!

mambo's avatar

I am quite a boring person and I get annoyed at the overly-emotional. I’d rather sit home and debate over coffee rather than going out on the town.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

@mambo This is why we get along so well! I’d much prefer to stay home with my own coffee, and I’m a somewhat boring homebody. :D

tedibear's avatar

@mambo – Preferring to stay home and debate over coffee instead of going out doesn’t make you boring! It merely makes you an introvert.

Other jellies would learn that I hate to write but will willingly help anyone proofread and edit any document.

mambo's avatar

@WillWorkForChocolate I’m such a homebody. I love to just sit around the house, bake, sip coffee, read, and watch movies. You should come over for coffee and gourmet chocolates one day.

WillWorkForChocolate's avatar

You know I would totally take you up on that if my hubby would let me “waste” money on airfare. :)

Berserker's avatar

That I’m really shy and way too sensitive. Lol.

linguaphile's avatar

@Symbeline I am, too! I also can get really, really insecure, but most people don’t realize that. Fluther probably picks up on it way more than the people around me.

A lot of people online and IRL don’t realize I am a jane of many trades. I can fix almost anything that’s fixable. In the past 2 weeks, I’ve fixed a broken toilet, a broken closet door, a broken ottoman, a broken light switch, a ripped sofa…

jca's avatar

I am very good with one on one conversations, or in small groups, but in large groups, I become shy and reserved. I am very happy watching people, instead of participating in conversations, unless it’s an intimate group. So some people might see me as “the life of the party” but that’s only at a small party. A big party, I’m going to sit down and maybe chat one on one.

Facade's avatar

I do amateur porn

tinyfaery's avatar

I’m actually laid back and very open.

Mariah's avatar

I’m actually quite cheerful most of the time. Surprise! Fluther just gets the butt of my rants and raves, I guess. Sorry about that.

augustlan's avatar

I can’t think of anything you guys don’t already know about me! There must be something… right? I’m pretty much exactly the same here as in real life. Oh! I know… I’ve never actually used a whip on anyone. ;)

Cruiser's avatar

@Facade Put up some clips or it never happened! ;)

erichw1504's avatar

I watch movies backwards.

Memento actually made sense.

deni's avatar

@Facade you’re so fantastic

erichw1504's avatar

@Facade So, that’s not someone else’s hand in your avatar?

erichw1504's avatar

I can boogie to the beat my own music that I play in my head.

Facade's avatar

@Cruiser If you can find them, then you can see them lol
@deni Aw, thanks! Lol, it’s just me and my SO having fun =)
@erichw1504 Ha nope

bookish1's avatar

@erichw1504 : Me too! Kind of like this guy

And on a similar note, I talk to myself all the day long, in English and French. I also talk to inanimate objects and animals. They are all called “buddy.”

erichw1504's avatar

I spoon my imaginary friend at night.

Coloma's avatar

^ ^ LOL

I brush my teeth in the shower. :-D

erichw1504's avatar

I am made of real syrup.

Coloma's avatar

@erichw1504 Maple or Blackberry?
Don’t waffle on your answer.

Aster's avatar

I’m a boring homebody who spends most of each day learning things on the internet and goofing off on Facebook. I do not travel well but I’m dying to see the world. I am in outstanding health; people are puzzled by this. I crave the four seasons and, when fall arrives, I’m filled with joy. I can drop someone who is mean and nasty to me out of my life in an instant but if you’re nice to me I will be your friend until I die. Finally, I’m a staunch believer in the Supernatural .

erichw1504's avatar

@Coloma Maple all the way.

this_velvet_glove's avatar

I talk with my cat (not to my cat, that’s different), I talk to myself (who doesn’t, really?), I like going to places most people ignore, I like listening to loud music but also appreciate silence, I drink too much coffee, can’t stand screaming children. Also, I love being around animals, spending time with them. My favorite animals are: cats, dogs, and horses.

jca's avatar

Most people who know me don’t know this, but I make up nicknames for people in my head. I also make up funny names for total strangers, in my head, and sometimes make myself laugh thinking about it.

augustlan's avatar

@jca I do that, too, probably because I’m terrible at remembering names. I took a wood-working class with my best friend, and we had nicknames for everyone else in the class. Towards the end of it, we all got to talking and we shared the nicknames with our classmates… one of which was “Beard Guy”. He misheard it, and was terribly upset that we’d been calling him “Weird Guy”. Haha.
