. . .and I'm sure you'd return those feelings!

Even so, I can say that you sound like an interesting person--and I'm all for getting outside the box, myself. Not for the sake of getting outside the box but just because we need to. And I, too, have been labeled certifiable at times--don't even get me started on that one!!!

Anyway, that was one interesting bunch of true confessions--and I haven't come across any others quite like them!

" – but mainly on bad face-lift looking wenches who think they look better in a coat than the animal did."

Loved your comment about furs, and I agree with you 100%. Furs always look better on the live animal than on any person.

To paraphrase Robert Blake, he's never seen anyone who has had a face-lift who doesn't also get the dreaded LIZARD SMILE. Gary

...What kind of person have I stumbled across; you sound like someone I would love to get to know and someone I should run very, very far away from all at the same time. But if we all revealed ourselves like you did here, wouldn’t we all feel that way about each other? Ahh the many faces of me! Good to make thy acquaintance…

"HOL" - not "HO"

My doctor's name is Ho - so I guess now things have come full circle.

Someone beat you to it Tony.

Holli105, it's not so much the 'sploding penises, as your love of the "tiny things" that makes me appreciate you.

And, did you say your 2 year old niece calls you "Ho!"? It's funny, that's what I call all of my aunts.

This 20 things about me write-off has to be one of the most lame write-offs ever!


BUT and this is a big BUT, I have clicked on the few that are written by people that I know fairly well. Having some free time, and kinda knowing you a little (you know what I mean..... I think) I finally got around to reading this. I thought I'd read a bit and get bored, but that never happened.

You see, this kind of write-off is so lame because the creator of this epinions clogging mess didn't make it such that anybody participating had to be honest. There is no real challenge, anyone can join it and paint the picture they want others to see. People love to talk about themselves.

Being surprised that so many people showed up to this write-off is like handing out free money and wondering why such a big crowd is gathering.

But Holli your entry is one of the very few I've come across that is interesting because it's brutally honest. So much so that now I think I'm afraid of you.

I thought I was the wacky one, with my radical beliefs, my Waco style compound and dreams of multiple wives. Like watching Springer, I actually feel better about myself after reading this, but it only lasted for about a minute, and then I remembered what a poorly adjusted, wreck of a human being that I am.

Like you, I HATE, I absolutely HATE being told a joke. When people ask me if I want to hear a joke, I don't say no, I say F-U-C-K no!

I like being around people like myself that can just be funny and not have to try to be funny by memorizing something that someone else wrote. I like OJ, but I'm not a big fan of oranges. Like Ketchup, but not tomatoes.

But enough of that, strangely enough your true talent lies in your ability to dissect, criticize and analyze yourself. This piece about all your strange and unique ways is more focused, detailed, precise and engaging than anything else you've done.

You need to move in that direction here at epinions, or write in that style elsewhere to further develop this style that seems to come so easy for you.


Corpgent, if you're reading this, I imagine that you dream about unsalted crackers and cardboard boxes at night. This write-off makes all those boring top ten albums/movies/book write-offs seem like pure genius.

I'm so tired of seeing these floating around epinions like turds in a pool, that I'm tempted to crash with my 20 reasons Corpgent's write-off sucks.

these 20 were very interesting -- Exploding penises and all!

I can imagine you in the winnie-the-pooh panties and bunny slippers! Do they make pooh thongs too?

I am glad to know that I am not the only one who is so sensitive to smells.

You are a very funny and beautiful woman! Thanks for an enjoyable read!
Hugs,
Karen :)

...you say you rebel against everything but you hate it when people don't follow rules. Isn't a rebel someone who does not follow rules? Ah well, maybe its just me 'cos that's what I thought a rebel does.

You're 33 and still single? Looking at your profile picture, I would have thought a whole grouop of men would be after you.

And yes, I managed to read all 20.

This was a great read. Hope to read more of you around here.

Great stuff!
After reading TWO, I'm guessing that Nathan is a worried dog.

Nice to know a bit about you....I think!

My best friend is a pooh fanatic. Last week I bought her a pooh phone and the week before a singing pooh..then there was pajamas, etc. I think she needs pooh panties. LOL

You are hilarious. You got me hooked with #1. A small piece of advice, stay away from any man who likes you for #3

I hope you are doing the standup circuit,

You are an extremely interesting person, from stumpy hamsters, overweight budgies , underpants and bunny slippers ... you had me smiling all the way.

We had a bull with an exploding penis once, it had to be put down too and I have seen stumpy lambs, when the mothers clean them at birth occasionally they get carried away but never two legs, they generally realise there mistake eventually...the lambs do alright with 31/2 legs though.

I've been told that my best moments were when I wafted "eau de mesquite brisket" about my person. I certainly get more people following me around then than otherwise.

Hi,

Just so you know I was interested enough to read everything you wrote right up to the end. I enjoyed everything you had to say. Thanks for sharing so much about yourself.

by _haggis_
about Nathan's penis. Whatever you did to those other two poor dogs, don't do it to Nathan. K?

I absolutely loved this. It was great. In fact, I'm gonna go back and read it again.
