K ... I need your thoughts on this.
I am redesigning my journal and I was wondering what I should put in the about me section. I hate writing about myself and I don't want to give up to much information.
So, what comments, thoughts you can give me on this?

there are a couple of things you could do. you could do some facts about yourself that are reasonably personal, but aren't too revealing: favourite color kind of things. you could also ask other people to describe you, which usually works well.
I had my friends do that a long time ago. I had them pick three words that best described me .... the results were funny, sweet, and some very not me.
Thanks for the tips.
Zxenor .... hmmmm .... I'll let you handle the fork story ... heheehe

what I did (which I still haven't got around to uploading yet :s), is in a little profile bit about each of my friends, I got them to write a story about something amusing/stupid/whatever I had done at the bottom :p

I am Cal
Je suis et Cal
We all hate Calbot's smilies

BOO!

i am honored (and somewhat disturbed) to have a tots tv theme tune song!
and a nice haiku guy
anyone else got anything to say about me/the site
As I sip from my coffee cup ... I click on the web to see ... what Cal is up to along with the rest of the gang.
helpful hints, crazy tales and lots of fun ... make me smile with glee .. without them ... I couldn't be me.
:P

There once was a man from Bedford...
aah, damnit. Not even I can think up a dirty limerick that rhymes with "Bedford" :( Sul? ;)
...
3 words that always make me think chuckle when I think of Cal:
Icecream (vast quantities of)
Laserquest (you both loose!)
Binliner (and trying to look innocent afterwards)
Ironically, these 3 words will only mean something to Cal (and Sal), and not the randoms surfing the blog. Well, at least they'll provide a frightening glimpse into his life..

Hmm, looking over, all 3 of those words are cheating double-barrel words (and I'm highly dubious whether "binliner" is actually one word... shhh!)

and a typo. or two

Why do I come to this site? Cause Cal knows where I live and I'm afraid there will be consequences if I don't.

Well it's almost time to leave work and travel my 1.25hrs to get back home where I will work on a freelance proposal.
I visit your site regularly and have enjoyed it for nearly a year, I think. It makes me laugh!
Keep at it because it saved me from being bored to death here at work ;)

you've been a visitor for almost a year and you've never posted a message!? are there mose people like you?
1.25 hours is not so bad - it takes me 2 hours to get from my office to my house. where do you work and live?
My favourite Cal fact is, "I live with loads of animals - I hate them."

That's from the old 10 things about me that are mostly true. But i've probably just told you that.
