But this could be fun, what do you think I am? A teacher, police officer, firefighter, truck driver, nurse, doctor, husband, wife,or just a person walking thru this thing called life? A man or a woman? Age? 20's, 30's. 40's, 50's?

Let's hear what you think, what is it that you think I do and why would you think I'm a troll? I had to look up troll on here..hee hee...

I dont bring harm just fun!

I know about the friends because in 07 I had a Newsvine membership, didn't use it so I canceled and decided now to check it out again. Thats all. As far as I can remember it hasn't changed much.

How about dropping a hint? You don't leave much to go on.

Even so, first obvious guess; someone just like the rest of us, working to get by as best we/you can.

If your choice of handle is any indication, you might be someone working in the space program, or you could just be fan of the cartoon series.

#3.1 - Wed Aug 12, 2009 9:39 AM EDT

Bubble bath's? That would indicate a woman - based on experience, not sexism.

I also noticed that all your posts (in this article) are time stamped in the morning possibly confirming you are someone who works a late afternoon shift such as a nurse or police officer. Age, not ready to go there yet but leaning for 40's, 50's.

Getting any warmer?

OK First Hint:

Space Monkey,

Welcome to Newsvine. There is ALWAYS room for someone to bring some fun or humor here.

Personally, I venture out into those unsafe waters of the policitial forums where you need full armored body gear. It gets heated enough without the "trolls". I am new here, too, but after just a few weeks of commenting I was "friended" by some people who either felt comfortable about me or wanted to keep track of me. Not sure which. LOL!

Have fun and will be watching for your articles.

Cowgirl

PS - I have no gender bias, and age does not necessarily have a thing to do with experience or maturity, so those are not things I care about much.

#8.1 - Thu Aug 13, 2009 8:47 AM EDT

Dear Mystery Lady,

Please don't tell me more. My vision of you in a bubble bath probably shouldn’t be shared on line. I also am pretending you have an alluring feminine “typing voice,” with a hint of a sexy foreign accent. Regardless, I would hate to have that fantasy destroyed.

Seriously, welcome back. I envision you to be blond, 5’ to 5’9”, medium build, fun, flirtatious, fiftyish, fit, hard working, two children, have been outdoors on more than one occasion, married twice (at different times), not an Ultra-Orthodox Jew, moderately conservative, but open minded, do not live on the street or regularly eat in food kitchen at shelters, good sense of humor, drink Margaritas, 11 toes, own a car and are a complete “pushover” for guys named Leo. How did I do?

#10.1 - Thu Aug 13, 2009 3:44 PM EDT

SW Missouri Mule

I say you are an elephant trainer for a traveling circus. Because of your small size and bowed legs you fit comfortably atop the elephant's head and can hold his ears with your hands or feet. You have the ability to mimic the elephants voice and know over 100 "words" or calls. You can throw your voice like a ventriloquist, tricking the elephant into thinking there is a mate or challenger near.

The reference to "bubble bath" is a little misleading. You are female and you are cute as a button but the bubbles are from the soap you put in the city fountain. You play in the overflow of white lava until the man in the hat comes, then you scurry away to giggle your tail off.

This leaves age...I say 50's but with a very young mind. You do indeed like to have fun. What did I win?

5 votes

#11 - Thu Aug 13, 2009 3:20 PM EDT

I am female, you got that right, but nothing else...well I might be cute {blushing}

Circus...would be the last place you would find me...I don't like to get dirty, or to do manual labor, I do like the animals from a far....I must keep my nails nice......

4 votes

#11.1 - Thu Aug 13, 2009 3:47 PM EDT

SW Missouri Mule

You are too smart for "celebrity for no reason" but if you must keep your nails nice you could be a hot trophy wife or a hand model. Maybe the emphasis is on space and not monkey...

Wait a minute! That's not a monkey! It's a chimp! Trying to throw me off the scent? Not so fast with the "animals from afar" stuff. I smell something fishy here and I think it's coming from the sushi bar. Don't eat the blowfish. It's poison I tell ya. Poison.

You are too young for Charo and she lives in Hawaii. She is much smarter than people give her credit for, and very talanted. Also has to keep her nails nice. Sports Illustrated model, early 30s, thinking about kids but don't want to give up pampering yet. I'm guessing Barbados? Maybe your are the Girl from Ipanema?

#11.5 - Fri Aug 14, 2009 5:44 PM EDT

OK... you SAY you're not a troll... but that is just what a troll would be expected to say!!! The ONLY WAY we can be CERTAIN you're not a troll is to cut your head off... if it grows back... you're a troll... if it doesn't you aren't... and you're vindicated!

I know... I'm sorry...but it's the only conclusive way we have to prove you are not a troll... report to the guillotine!!!

#12.2 - Thu Aug 13, 2009 4:06 PM EDT

NO Space Monkey... I'm sorry... the only way to conclusively prove that you are NOT a troll is for someone to separate your head from your neck and see if it grows back! That's just the way it's done! *SHRUG*

Yes... my avatar is a pic of a gorilla at the Henry Doorley Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. He was just sitting in the corner all by himself... he reminded me a lot of myself. Not necessarily anti-social... just felt like being alone! *GRIN*

#12.3 - Thu Aug 13, 2009 7:18 PM EDT

Couldn't we just take her word she's not a troll. Rather than cutting off heads, I am more than willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Incidentally, folks, Space Monkey is definitely NOT a troll, okay?

#12.6 - Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:22 AM EDT

OK Guys and Gals...You haven't got my age yet??? 20's, 30's 40's 50's

I will tell you it's not the 50's...

another hint:

I love music, I listen to: Foo Fighters, Nickleback, Match Box 20, Seether, Blue October, Rob Zombie...well I like a varity of music...

I enjoy working out and try to eveyday. I also enjoy the sun, but not working in the sun. Like I said I dont get my hands dirty.

Challenge...Thats one thing I love....Tell me I can't and watch the wheels start turning. I usualy get what I want, and I am spoiled or high maintenance as I have been told in a good way I might add.

You might call me a girly girl or a prissy girl.

If you read the above comments and put in order, you just might be close.

What state do you think I live in?

#13 - Fri Aug 14, 2009 8:38 AM EDT

#14.1 - Fri Aug 14, 2009 1:21 PM EDT

Okay. 1600 miles give or take a few. New Mexico - meets sun and space.

Age given musical preferences 20's.

#14.2 - Fri Aug 14, 2009 2:21 PM EDT

oh...Ed your Cold....Not even Close...Try again! Not 20's not 50's...your closing in...

#14.3 - Fri Aug 14, 2009 3:22 PM EDT

Well, that kinda settles your age. If not 20's or 50's and you've already discounted 30's above that leaves 40's.

If not New Mexico, how about the other end of that 1600 mile range, let's go north, North Dakota.

Mr. Bubbles wife, Mrs. Bubbles. No, that's not right.

Hardee's commercial: car wash, hot chick in little bit of black fabric, blond hair, pampered, Paris Hilton! No, that"s not right.

I used to know a "dancer" named Bubbles but that was because of the size and shape of her butt. Bubble Butt. Nice girl.

Marge the manicurist: Palmolive softens hands while you do the dishes. You're soaking in it. No, no bubbles. Not it.

I'm 5'6" and do not consider it petite.

#19.2 - Sat Aug 15, 2009 7:18 AM EDT

Donning my PI clothes (ratty shorts and a clean T-shirt), I have deduced the following:

1. You are female

2. In your early thirties

3. Live in California

4. Have a good job -- you drive a hummer, and they are not cheap

5. Do your nails in the bubble bath

6. Like cats -- a lot

MJV in Wisconsin

Ok do you live in Iowa? it's the only short named state that comes to mind that has all four seasons

Ohio, Idaho, Maine ... that's about it for 4 (or 5) letter state names with all 4 seasons.

The others would be Utah, and Texas, the rest have 6 or more.

#26.1 - Fri Aug 21, 2009 2:54 PM EDT

MJV, I thought she wrote off Ohio, I don't know about Idaho but I didn't count Maine because the winters tend to be on the long side and cause spring and fall to be shortended so I figured Iowa would be the best bet.

#26.2 - Fri Aug 21, 2009 3:21 PM EDT

occassional snow and freezing temperatures make make Texans feel like they have a forth season, but it doesn't count if it only last one month and never gets below 50.
