28 random things about yourself..

[zippy-kat]

1. I was born on my dad's birthday.
2. I have one cat, one horse, one bunny, 2 clownfish, and a shrimp.
3. I almost adopted a 3 legged pitbull from Dogs Deserve Better. The pup is an absolute DREAM ... except for cats. (And really, she might be able to be worked thru the issue -she wasn't that bad- but I have no experience with that type of thing. I still might consider adopting her if I had someone to help me with the issue.)
4. I bought my first house in November... and still haven't moved in, yet. (Getting closer, though.)
5. I'm scared of receiving my first electric bill.
6. I love buying makeup but don't wear very much at all.
7. I love, love, LOVE bath "stuff" (shower gels, bubble bath, etc) but can't use 99% of it due to my finicky skin.
8. I liken my horse to a storybook picturesque mare. She has such a wonderful temperment and will do anything you ask (except sidepass, which we're working on). I "dress" her in pink. I have pink glittery hoofpolish. Secretly, I wish she could fart sparkles.
9. Only today did I find out that 2x4 didn't mean, 2 foot by 4 foot.
10. I'm quite book smart but can be a total airhead when it comes to "real" stuff (see above).
11. I never thought I'd be happy in my home town, never thought I'd live in this small of a place but I'm happier now than I have been in YEARS.
12. I don't want children and I'm not sure if I want to be married.
13. I HATE to answer the phone; it is (quite literally) a bit of a phobia. This stems from a certain call I took/brief employment as a 911 dispatcher.
14. As a result of #13, I don't talk to my friends nearly enough. I prefer to txt or chat on the computer but work tends to get in the way.
15. As I approach 30, my bedtime gets earlier and earlier.
16. I don't like the smell of roses. They remind me of funerals.
17. I HATE to cook.
18. I don't mind baking.
19. I love to write and have been published in different literary journals. I even did a reading in college. I miss this.
20. My BA is in English (minors in rhetoric/technical communication and creative writing). My MA is in Technical Communication. I would like to have my MFA in poetry but, at this point in my life, I'm glad to be done with school.
21. I'm allergic to most dairy but cheese doesn't bother me. Milk tastes sour and gives me migraines.
22. I used to love winter. Now, not so much.
23. I can't drive a manual even though I've repetedly tried. I did however sit (I wouldn't say drove - I don't think we ever had to shift I went so slow) on Xradeu's Dad's tractor, which was a manual.
24. I don't like bears, even teddy bears.
25. I don't really love my job but I have it too easy (decent pay, good hours, easy work, security) to go anywhere else.
26. I love tea. I prefer it over coffee, soda, or water. If cold, I want it unsweetened. If hot, it has to be sweetened.
27. There are certain words I hate, they just SOUND ugly. Boogy, for example.
28. I don't really like the way meat tastes and definitely won't eat it in any form of leftovers (chicken being the exception). I prefer veggies.

Ellie, you are awesome and I wish we could hang out IRL. I am an obsessive fan of M*A*S*H and I bought the first season on dvd today!

I liken my horse to a storybook picturesque mare. She has such a wonderful temperment and will do anything you ask (except sidepass, which we're working on). I "dress" her in pink. I have pink glittery hoofpolish. Secretly, I wish she could fart sparkles.

Zippy, that has got to be the best quote I've read in a very long time!

Lol same, let me know if you ever come to England

Now you can watch M*A*S*H whenever you want lol, and not just when the tv channels allow you too.... yay for DVDs. (We have the DVDs- I dont usually watch it on tv because the laughter track kind of annoys me). I even made a M*A*S*H poster for my room, and I have a M*A*S*H t-shirt

Hey, next time you want to bake, PM me. I'll walk ya through it!

We learn to cook early in my family - generally the first thing we started with was making gingerbread the Christmas each of us turned 4 years old! Yup - even at that age, we got to measure, sift and stir, as well as use the cookie cutters. Yup. Ma was brave!
