Random facts about yourself.

[Pembroke_Corgi]

Interesting thread- especially seeing what people choose to write about themselves. Here are a few random facts about me.

*I have been a vegetarian for over 11 years now. I plan on being veg for life.

*When my husband and I were dating, he went vegetarian within a month of dating me, and has never regretted it (we have been together almost 6 years).

*I'm working on my master's degree in education now and hope to eventually get a PhD.

*I get horribly nervous when I have to speak in public unless I am teaching a class.

*My undergraduate degree is is psychology but I work as a piano teacher.

*I have to be alone for at least 10 minutes a day or I get really annoyed with other people.

*I don't watch too much TV or many movies, but I occasionally enjoy watching Judge Judy.

*If I am nervous about an upcoming event, I usually "rehearse" it in my dreams the night or two before. I'm not sure if that helps or makes it worse.

- My sister, brother, and myself are all two years apart. ['85, '87, '89]
- I was born on my sister's fourth birthday.
- I was a lefty up until I was three. My brother slammed my left hand in a door, nearly severing the tip of my pinky right off. The doc's had to sew it back on and I couldn't use that hand for the longest time, resulting in my right handedness.
- My first dog was a present for my fifth birthday. A 10 week old Yellow Lab/Dalmatian named Patches. I've been in love with the Dal breed ever since and that will be the first breed I pursue when able to get another dog.
- I'm afraid of heights.
- Large groups scare me to the point I begin to shake, my heart races, and the only thing my mind can think of is escape.
- I am mildly addicted to taking myspace surveys.
- I am a Crime Drama Junkie.
- I am 18-years-old and do not have my driver's liscence, nor do I have a desire to get it.
- My best friend is 3 years younger than me, lives all the way across the country, and I have never met her face-to-face.
- I work at a Theraputic Riding Center
- My favorite smells in the enitre world are horse, rain, puppy breath, and Axe.
- I love photography.
- Nothing makes me feel more complete than being in the saddle.
- I love to read and have loved to read from a very young age.
- My favorite feelings in the world are being in the saddle, a puppy in my lap, rain on my skin, and a baby in my arms.

- Jellyfish scare me if they're not on the other side of the glass.

- I love kids, but am a little chicken and am therefore afraid of labor. I'd love to adopt someday, though.
-I have dozens of story ideas floating around in my head, but find it impossible to voice them, be it spoken or written word.
- The horse I love most in this world is not, in fact, one of my own. This makes me feel incredibly guilty.

ETA:

- I'm a terrible procrastinator.
- I've never worn make-up in my life and I bit the last person who tried to put it on me.
- I've never had my hair cut, only trimmed.
- I'm a highly protective person.
- I get jealous pretty easily.
- There has never been a time in my life that we did not have at least one horse, dog, and cat.

- I love dogs, but horses are my passion.
- I have a fan running year-round. No matter if it's 90 or 9 degrees. I have to have the sound to sleep.
- I always sleep with a radio on, as well. And often read with both my fan and radio on, as I can't stand silence.
- It bugs me to no end when people just leave their shopping carts in the middle of the parking lot instead of putting them in the cart corral or taking them back inside. I often stop and pick up several carts on my way in and put them away. [I make exceptions for the mothers that can't leave their little ones in the car alone while they take care of their cart, or the elderly/disabled. But I find that there are no excuses for the rest of them.]
- I used to have a problem with cutting myslef.
- I prefer men's deoderant. [Heck yes for Axe, baby! XD]

here's me:
-I have 0 friends
-I have no desire to ever have children- I’ve disliked children since I was a child…
-I’m left handed but I use a scissors with my right hand- due to fact that there were no left handed scissors in my elementary school

Hey, we are your friends!

And as for the other one, I can cut equally well with left-handed or right-handed scisssors, as Ma was a lefty.

I can write legibly left-handed, though I write slowly that way. I am completely right-handed, but would practice writing left-handed when I was bored in elementary school.

My normal handwriting is based on italic calligraphy

[ILoveMyAbbyGirl]

- I am left-handed. I can do everything except write, with my right hand. I was too shy and embarrassed as a child to ask for left-handed untensils and such.
- I'm slightly germaphobic. I have four toothbrushes and I sort of rotate using them. I also have to rinse them with really hot water for about a minute before I use them.
- I hate showers. I hate taking a shower, (I do, trust me!) but it just goes along with my germaphobia. I just think showers are really gross places (ironically).
- I always have to sleep with a blanket by my head.
- I love love love being barefoot in the summer.
- But I HATE feet. My feet are gross. Ew. ><
- I put others before myself constantly. I always aim to make others happy.
- I LOVE my job. Love it. (I'm a dog groomer.)

I'll think of more later. =]
