The last one was a lie.

I don't wear short skirts and haven't in close to a year.
I think sugar snap peas are disgusting.
I don't wear makeup most days.

I listen to heavy metal music most of the time, and when I want something less heavy, I listen to punk music.

I was both a member of the rugby team and the Drama club

Thank you for your service!

Semper Fi Marine. And a big thank you for your service as well.

I am retired military and served in both the Navy and Army. Four and a half years ago I suffered a very bad spinal injury which required surgical repair and months of physical therapy. It took me a year to re-learn to walk normally again. My doctors told me to never lift over 75 lbs again, but I decided to return to power lifting anyway. I began lifting again with an empty bar and worked my way up to a 465 lb squat to below parallel despite mobility issues from the injury and permanent sciatic nerve damage.

You have such a vietnam vibe - sorry if that's offensive because it is not meant to be.

No offense taken. I am a little young for Vietnam as I entered the Navy in 81 at 18 years old.

I own thousands of comic books.... I've read every single one of them and then I file them in order according to character, year, and age in a very fancy file so it is easy to find the again. I go to conventions for them. The whole comic book shabang.

I have a thick southern drawl lol

I am a black belt in karate, and taekwondo.

That'sok...I meant it in more of a doesn't quite fit the mold kind of way...not your AGE as you are only a couple of years older than me! Bit of a rebel with a heart? This is the feeling we have of our vietnam vets here in Australia and the vibe your picture gives is this.

Thanks for the kind words. I love Australia. I visited Perth/Freemantle for a couple of weeks back in 84. Perth reminded me a lot of San Diego with the climate and beaches.

Rebel with a heart? Yes, I might fit that profile. My family has been hit hard by cancer over the years and between stints in the Navy and Army I grew my hair out and donated 17 1/2 inches to Locks of Love. It is too gray for that organization now, but once I can donate 20 inches I am going to give it to another organization which prefers gray hair for older cancer patients.

I have several tattoos and piercings

I am studying theology and ministry

I am the daughter of a Vietnam vet and the daughter in law of a WWII Captain

I am a medical secretary

I love to crochet

Fremantle is so close to where I live it's not funny! AND we have relatives in San Diego!!! I think it is BRILLIANT you donate your hair...as a family touched by cancer I think you are truly amazing.

I like to cuddle

Hands down, the best hospitality I ever experienced in the world was in Australia. I loved the people, the climate, and appreciated the cleanliness of the cities. Only one thing, despite great beer and good food, I never could acquire a taste for Vegemite.

ahh...now see you should have had vegemite cheesies as your first introduction to vegemite - toasted bread spread with butter then a thin scraping of vegemite...covered in cheese then grilled...sooooo good.

Thanks, I will just have to take your word for that....
