Oh please you just have to explain question 9!!!!

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

Well, all right then, since you asked. *g*

Way back about 25 years ago I took some evening classes on sexuality, became best friends with the teacher, and over time became her apprentice and then co-teacher in some of the classes (pre-orgasmic women's classes on how to have orgasms, women's sexuality for men, men's sexuality for women, couples' communication workshops). So for two or three years I was an apprentice sex educator.

During the same time, my friend and I opened a little "sensuous supplies" store selling vibrators and other sex toys, massage supplies, erotic art, sex information, etc in a woman-friendly, non-pornographic environment -- much like Good Vibrations (http://www.goodvibes.com), whose founder generously mentored us starting up our little business.

It was all a lot of fun... but ultimately the pay sucked, so I ended up getting into computers.

Computer programming pays waaaay better than sex. Which, when you think about it, is just wrong, isn't it? ;-)

(Sorry about the late reply - RL came and kicked me in the butt and I am behind on mails and my LJ)

First of all - wow that sounds interesting and something I could definitely not have the guts to do - which means probably why I should (he he)!

Computer programming pays waaaay better than sex. Which, when you think about it, is just wrong, isn't it? ;-)

It's a cruel, cruel world we live in - but if it was like that I guess we would et nothing done *grin*

02. Age: 27
03. Where do you live: Oslo, Norway
04. What makes you happy: kids because they are so uncomplicated, fall because I feel I can breathe, movies/books and music because they make me escape reality, my parents because they taught me the meaning of unconditional love and makes me belive in it, rain because I don't know why, driving alone in my car with blasting music and windows down with aboslutey no destination because it makes me feel free.
05: Fandoms: Buffy and CSI
06. What have you been listening to lately: what have I NOT been listening to lately would have been easier....but let me go check my folder....Snow Patrol, Garden State Soundtrack and Thomas Dybdahl.

[aheiden.livejournal.com]

HAHAHHAH - How SAD isn't it that I didn not reply to Q9 - you must think I have nothing interesting to say!! he he - i just needed to think:

Q9 - I can't bend my right thumb, I have no middle joint (does that work?)

[katekat]

that absolutely works... and it's just on your right thumb? are you left handed then?

[aheiden.livejournal.com]

No actually I am not, but certain things require me to use my left hand - such as writing text messages on my cellphones, and I was born this way so I am pretty managable with my left, except writing - no can do ;D

[katekat]

oh my gosh! my birthday's october 10th - we're 4 days apart. why did we never figure this out before???

and you should've kicked my butt a long time ago about the betaing - i'm so sorry lady! you'll have it tonight!
