In Common

[Dais]

I was thinking recently that it would be interesting to see what we, as a group, have in common with each other. I mean, obviously we are all here, so we have that common ground. But what else? For instance, I don't play drums, drive a motorcycle, travel extensively, or write books. But I enjoy bird watching, nature, communicating with people without face to face contact... stuff like that.

People make quick decisions about others just by seeing them one time. I am not immune to that. But we can't see each other here, so we're not going to be as quick to compartmentalize, to judge, to decide we wouldn't get along, without a little bit more exploration. So. Here are a couple of quick things about me. Does any of it overlap with you?

I like the colors red and dark blue.
I love being out in nature, and watching things grow.
I like to make stuff - currently with a sewing machine.
The sun coming through the windows makes me happy.
I enjoy attention.
I like to read.
I prefer company to being alone, though I do value some alone time.
I like coffee.
I am messy.
I am much prefer to use products that are natural and not bad for the environment.

That's a start. Your turn =)

Well I can see quite a bit of overlap here -

I like Red, (would love a Guards Red 911 turbo) most of my suits are dark blue
I love the country and live in the countryside - although I love big cities and bright lights too - I enjoy working in London (Westminster around Parliament Square and Horse Guards), but coming home to the country.
I can`t sew...
Love the sun, but can also enjoy extreme weather - storms, snow.
I love attention - but it brings some responsibilities with it...
I love to read - especially on the train back from London - you can eat a couple of books a week..
Likewise on company.....a few really close friends....
Tick for coffee
I am really organised and methodical every thing in its place and a place for everything......my wife and girls and the total opposite.......so I have learned to adjust......
Tick the whole green and sustainable bit too.....

A few from me -
Love walking
Love pubs
Love mountain biking
Used to love motorbikes - but havn`t ridden for a long while
Love drumming, bands, recording, playing etc
Starting to love gardening a lot
Love holidays
Love food
Love travelling and meeting different people and cultures
Love nice wines
Used to like flying, but was not very good at it.....

I also love walking. Pubs are fun. Gardening is great, but my yard is small. Hoping to make a small garden this year. Traveling and people - yeah. But I'm shy, so I do well with others who are outgoing.

I see several similarities...........to me

I like red & blue as well as purple, and even some shades of green
I do like to get out and walk & hike, and I like it more when I have someone to walk and hike with me.
I love to watch birds and wild animals and I love to photograph them (if they stay still long enough for a picture).
I also love to read, and try to make more time for that.
I also value alone time (which might be why I take over an hour to buy a gallon of milk in the store, lol)
I'm constantly working on the "messy" part.
I also love coffee (anyone who knows me well, knows that I do)

A few other things,
I'd rather communicate by e-mail than talk on the phone.
I like to travel, and hopefully one day, I'll be able to more of it.
I like to sew.
I love ice cream..........and it loves me right back.
and I LOVE to make lists..........on paper.

Absolutely true of me, too.

Did this answer the topic question?

[Dais]

To me it sounds as if you're dodging the question.

Get out of that without moving NBC.......
