Six things that some may not know about me.
1. I am NOT a competitive person. At all. Sure, I'll try to do my best all the time but I rarely participate in any team sport where I'm out to beat someone at something. I played on the Dallas gay volleyball league for a few years but quit because people took it way too serious. I would often tell them: "in the grand scheme of life, this is only a game! Don't get so worked up about it!"
2. I don't know how to flirt.
Sometimes I am very shy and don't say much. At other times I'm too direct and that turns people off. I'm mostly just clueless. So I just try to be myself. 3. I had a major crush on my high school band teacher. I'm afraid I was kind of obvious about it too. Our high school had a pool and we often used it for gym class or class/group parties. I saw this band teacher naked and OMG I was smitten. Once during a band concert we were talking back stage in very close proximity and I'm pretty sure his hand lingered in my private nether regions for about a minute!
4. I avoid confrontations at all costs.
5. I can't stand peanut butter. The thought makes me nauseous. Yuck!
6. I prefer warm weather to cold. I really don't mind the heatwave that we're having in Dallas right now. The other night I really didn't mind being at the outdoor concert when the temperature was 105. If it had been a little chilly I would have been complaining and wanting to leave as soon as I could so I could go get warm.

I can think of worse things in life than having an aversion to peanut butter.
I am not a competitive person either; although I enjoy flirting - the later is closely related to being the clown.
NO PEANUT BUTTER?!? OMG!
My gosh Jim, there's a few things in there that is so me - it was as if I had written this post:
1. I also avoid confrontation - I often describe myself as a eustresser i.e. I try to avoid stress and confrontation at all costs;
2. I hate competition and I am also not competitive - I hate what it can bring out...
3. Just today I was talking to a friend of mine and saying that I love the warmth and I wish it would be warm like this all year round...at lunch when I eat outdoors I eat in the sun....
I'm with you on competitiveness! I hate it when everything becomes competition: I'm the least competitive person I know. When I'm in the right mood, I can be extremely flirtatious although I've only had practice with the hetero kind, not homo.
For me, bring on the cold (or cooler) weather, baby!
Very interesting Jim. This is a good idea for a blog posting. Funny thing, I'm almost the opposite of everything you said. I flirt, even when I'm not aware of it. I love peanut butter. Confrontation? I don't look for it but I don't avoid it either. It's gotten me into a lot of trouble one the years and caused me to lose two jobs. I'm also very completive. I like the change in seasons, both warm and cold. But I do have six things on my list. I hate macron and cheese. Makes me gag to just think of it. I'll post my list tomorrow. Thanks for the idea.
