This is a pretty fun get-to-know each other type of game. All you do is make a list of 5 things that we didn't know about you.

Sounds like fun! Here are mine:
- I am a self-taught painter
- I used to dabble with classical singing (mezzo soprano)
- I can write back-to-front and upside-down (both at the same time)
- My favourite band are the Red Hot Chili Peppers
- I have goblin feet (according to my husband)
I used to be Ginger.
I slept right thru a rocket attack that nearly blew up the El Al plane I was in.
I snored right thru the first Star Wars movie in the cinema, my mate didn't wake me up because he thought it was funny.
I learned to count from 1 to 100 in French in one evening when I was 7 and can still do it.
I invented the debit card but never got paid for the idea.

I have four ankles. (Really.)
I also used to be a redhead but l went natural a few years ago and now I'm silver/gray.
I can't sing in tune if my life depends on it.
I have published three books with major publishers and get quarterly royalty checks. Also many of you have probably read content crap I've written (eHow, Livestrong, SFGate etc.)
You don't know my real name and I'm not telling. LOL.

Add..."I know you rolled your eyes left to see my name on the left, even though you knew and have seen it just before!"

Beth is not my real name and my last name doesn't start with B. I never use my actual name online (including for content writing) and never the same fake name twice.

1. I'm a retired children's librarian (best job in the world and I actually got paid to do it!)
2. I'm a recreational cook, meaning that when bored or kept inside due to weather, I bake breads, make soups and stews, and generally just have fun in the kitchen.
3. After my husband retired we both took a Master Naturalist course offered by Texas Parks and Wildlife, and did habitat restoration, led nature walks, and generally played outdoors. He specialized in birds and I in native plants.
4. I hate shopping unless it involves a good plant nursery, a lumberyard or hardware store, or a restaurant supply store.
5. I am incredibly boring.

1. I listen to a wide variety of music. A quick scroll through my playlist would include Garth Brooks, Metallica, Miley Cyrus, Eminem, Bob Seger, and even Hans Zimmer's Lion King score.
2. Long before I was JBtheExplorer, I was ProducerJB. I used to produce rap beats. I did it for about three years. I liked many of the beats I made, but not too many of the finished songs. Many of the songs I produced are still scattered across Youtube.
3. Nearly every hobby I've had over the years is art-related, whether it be producing music, drawing, or photography. I've always prefered to design things my own way.
4. I play videogames, though it's mainly a Winter hobby. Racing games are some of my favorites.
5. My favorite movie is The Lion King. There isn't even a close second. I still own my original VHS copy.

I'm old
I'm a retried Pastry chef
working on a Lactose and Gluten free Pastry cook book

It appears you have not caught the little joke in the sentence I wrote there.

Wow. love to cook. pastry is a whole respectful another animal, to get it right. handling the dough just perfect ect.
The secret to good pastry is DON'T over think it, if you worry about what your doing you can't go it right, every person making pastry of any kind will mess up some time in their life, just go with the flow.
and have fun.
