1) I love corn tortillas…you can take the rice and beans from me but you better not THINK about jackin' my tortillas! - Live4Emma (L4S)

2) my mom and dad divorced when I was 5. my mom raised me by herself and never remarried…I feel guilty about that sometimes. - Live4Emma (L4S)

3) at the insistence of my mom, I went to Christian schools from 1st grade through High School YET I'm completely turned off by rampant hypocrisy in organized religion…I don't think that's the attitude she wanted me to leave with when she forced me to go those schools... - Live4Emma (L4S)

4) I have a half sister on my dad's side who I barely knew growing up…we don't talk as often as we should….I need to correct that - Live4Emma (L4S)

6) I used to chew my nails as a kid….then one day when I was about 14, I stopped cold turkey and haven't done it since... - Live4Emma (L4S)

7) I'm an insatiable flirt…. ;-) - Live4Emma (L4S)

8) My daughter is not my biological daughter but we don't care…our bond is as strong as those that are biologically linked. I'm "dad" and she's "my daughter", ain't no "step-" about it….and I DARE anyone to tell me different. - Live4Emma (L4S)

9) Watching my daughter dissect a defense with her passing on the soccer pitch is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. Her instinct for the game and the ability to see 2 and 3 moves ahead just blows me away. I'm SO PROUD of her on the field and off - Live4Emma (L4S)

10) I played soccer up to high school when I decided to stop and keep playing football and baseball….I regret that decision. - Live4Emma (L4S)

11) I didn't finish college. I regret that decision, too - Live4Emma (L4S)

12) you WANT ME on your team when we're playing trivia games…I have an uncanny knack for retaining useless bits of trivia that really only come in handy when playing trivial pursuit… - Live4Emma (L4S)

13) I'm the best friend and companion you could ever want, I always try to please and put others first…but it really sucks when people take advantage of that - Live4Emma (L4S)

14) I'm really close to the family on my dad's side yet barely know my family on my mom's side…strange, considering who raised me - Live4Emma (L4S)

15) I love playing poker and I'm pretty damn good at it….I'd love to be able to play it more… - Live4Emma (L4S)

16) I don't kill spiders. I believe in capture and release - Live4Emma (L4S)

17) I'm painfully shy in a new group of people or new setting…but once I get in my comfort zone, I'm 180 degrees from shy - Live4Emma (L4S)

18) people say I have a nice "radio voice" and I can do accents and some impressions….they say I should consider doing voice over work…maybe one day - Live4Emma (L4S)

19) I love good photography and I'm in awe of those who have a talent for it…. - Live4Emma (L4S)

20) I had one customer service job at a hardware store…I learned a lot working there about DIY stuff around the house…but I also learned that I hate customers and should never serve anyone while being paid to do so…but having worked there, I appreciate those who can give good customer service, despite the demands put on them.......and I try my hardest NOT to be a pain or overly demanding and I tip well! - Live4Emma (L4S)

21) I don’t take compliments well….I never think they're deserved, in my case - Live4Emma (L4S)

22) I'm ultra competitive and hate to lose….I used to be a pill when I was younger and lost but I'm much better about handling it now, THANK GOD! - Live4Emma (L4S)

23) I'm generally a private person and really only open up to a select few that I think I can trust… - Live4Emma (L4S)

24) I'm glad I discovered FriendFeed when I did…I've met a lot of cool people, and got to know some better than others, but no matter what the level of friendship, I really appreciate 99% of the people on here…..I love that I can come here and act the fool without judgment…it's been a big help to me while I deal with some tough issues in my "real life". Issues that will probably lead to failure but where failure is the best outcome for all parties involved..... - Live4Emma (L4S)

25) I'm currently married….see #24. - Live4Emma (L4S)

probably one of the hardest things i've ever done...but i think it was good to do... Thanks A1, Mona, D, Far, and everyone else for the inspiration! <3 - Live4Emma (L4S)

*hugs* Thanks for sharing. :o) - Just Katie

<3 - Emma

We have stuff in common, LS4 - #2 (mine when I was 2.5, mom finally remarried two days after I got married), #3 (until I escaped to a Math and Science school my JR/SR year, and I don't think my mom's reasoning was to instill doubt, though it did), and #4 (I have a half brother, my dad's son, born a year before I left home, so I hardly know him... been trying to reconnect with family trips, but I still feel bad and he should be more of a part of my life). - Lindsay

First of all, I want to know how you got all 25 of those separate comments in there so quick without anyone else getting a chance to get their own comments in edge-wise. Are you just superfast with the cut-and-paste, or have you your own mega-awesome FriendFeed script to do it for ya? Anyway, the list, as you can tell from the general tone of this comment, is super, mega, awesome, and edge-wise. Wait, huh? #20 gives me goosebumps, #8 is saccharine sweet, and I'm totally with ya on #21. - Pete D

You shouldn't feel guilt about your mom. =( - Shevonne

As a single mom, let me tell you that nothing gives me more pleasure than my children. If I never find someone, I won't care cause I have them. I bet your mom feels the same way. =) - Shevonne

i know she does....but did i rob her of some happiness? i don't dwell on that thought but it creeps in every so often... - Live4Emma (L4S)
