OK...we've talked about our phobias and things we don't like....so let's reverse it and talk about the things we do like...but make it general....no reptiles !

I like....(in no particular order)
Not having to get up at any particular time...it's never before 9am

Reading
My sister and 3 brothers....all older than me
Riding in trains....day time only

The wonderful memories I have of my mother
My wonderful husband, I've never loved anyone longer than I've loved him....he's gorgeous.

Shame about the OCD..... I dont' have OCD....but I do have some things that I sort of....MUST HAVE....like I always like to have 2 of everything...if I buy a dress, I must have 2 etc...really hard for me to resist, I almost have a panic attack if I can't do it, but I'm trying to resist. Damn, even had 2 husbands both with the name Brian. :lol: I HATE, HATE having things with circles on them....

[Snakewoman]

I like the family cats, especially the male even though he's a brat. I like stirring him, he's very playful but I have to be careful or he'll bite the crap out of me!

I like researching things that interest me, there have been days when I've spent 6-7 hours reading about things that I find interesting... I like to be thorough!

I like making my mother and brother laugh all the time, when I talk to people I'm very honest, straight to the point and I say exactly what I think which my family thinks is funny because of the way I put it.

I like horror and thriller movies, but movies that make you think are my favourite. I constantly annoy my family when watching psychological movies by figuring out what's going to happen before the whole thing is revealed

I like watching medical programs, shows about science, and shows like mega factories where they show you how they make things, I like to know a lot about how things work and why.

I really like riding my motorcycle, I have a lot of fun with that! I also enjoy annoying my brother over facebook even though we're sitting in the same room :lol:

I like pictures, so I'll include photos of some of the stuff I mentioned here. I'll also include a screen shot of a conversation I recently had with my brother to annoy him.

Also, here are a few videos I have of riding my bike that I recorded with my little GoPro camera:

2000 Virago 250 first filmed ride part 1 - YouTube

2000 Virago 250 first filmed ride part 2 - YouTube

2000 Virago 250 ride to shopping centre - YouTube

I've only been riding for 3 weeks
