LOL So am I!!

I met 75% of my friends in an AOL Chat room we were all regulars in. two of them lived in the same town and others all around but we would all meet up to discuss the artists we all loved. to this day we are all still close and and and 2 of them are coming to see my in 2 weeks.

it's great!

1. I pretended I was sick so often when I was younger that now it's hard to take a sick day from work without feeling guilty.

2. I almost failed high school in my senior year, despite getting all A's, because I missed so many days.

3. A quality I love in my partner is that she routinely helps elderly and disabled people that she sees when she's out and about. I don't find her need to feed the poor, freezing squirrels as endearing!

4. I love to dance and wish I could go dancing more often.

5. Somehow I managed to find a job that pays pretty well and has flexible hours. I'm still getting used to the lower stress--it's actually been a difficult adjustment. Guilt, again. What is that about?

*grin* Awesome, yes?
Earlier this year, I got to meet in person, for the first time, a dear friend that I have known for 12 years. It totally rocked. It was almost surreal.

1. I work really well on deadline and always make them. However, when I have days to write a story, I find that I put it off until it's on deadline. I'm doing that right now. Procrastination, much?
2. I love what I do, but the pay sucks so badly that I'm considering going a total different direction in profession. Numbers, anyone?
3. I'm pretty proficient singing and playing the guitar on Rock Band, but my drumming leaves much to be desired. And all those years of air drumming, I thought I had rhythm. *grin*
4. I mentally run through the things in my life whenever I'm sitting here trying to compose these lists. Nine times out of 10, my lists come from things I see here in my living room.
5. If left up to me, my television might never get turned on.

1. I’ve never met any of my relatives on my father’s side of the family.

2. I volunteer with an animal rescue group that helps provide low cost spay/neuter.

3. My parents didn’t allow me to go to college after high school because we had to prepare for Armageddon.

4. I have not set foot inside a church in the last nineteen years, with the exception of several cathedrals in England.

5. I LOVE making lists. I make lists about everything. I have even made a list of lists I would like to make.

1. I have a mustard thing...yes, mustard! I don't eat it that much but can't resist it when I find great, interesting, imported or gourmet mustards on crazy sale. At the moment there are 65 jars tucked away in the cupboard (okay, okay there might be another dozen up there)...the other day I went into a store which often has it...I got a gut feeling, but I steeled myself against temptation....I turned the corner and my heart dropped...why? there were lovely jars of a french preserve I love...now 18 jars of it are sitting next to the mustard...I gave the 12 jars of honey to my son...I was making my own homemade mustard for a while, but that seemed to be extreme---even for me!

2. I love to organize, and I'm good at it...I can find space where there is no space...it relaxes me...sooner or later most everyone I know asks me to give them an organizational hand...I'm always glad to do so...

3. I'd like to listen to the radio but I can't bear all the talking! One of my professional demands is that I listen to people talk...my preferred way for people to communicate to me is through interpretive dance !! ;>

4. I do not own even one pair of pants...all I wear are dresses

5. I think I lied about my height on my DL since I am shorter than it says...I am also lighter than listed...I worry that if I am kidnapped they will be looking for a taller, heavy woman and that's not me!

1. For some reason, I have to think hard to remember which is the symbol for female and which is for male. Not sure why. *grin*
2. My sister paid for me to get my ears pierced for Christmas my freshman year of high school. I forgot I had a basketball game that night. Got my first start that night and the ear rings had to come out. That didn't hurt nearly as bad as putting them back in 2 hours later.
3. My favorite picture of myself is one of me wearing a backwards Braves cap, (former) curls spilling out and a devil-may-care smile. I think it captures my personality completely.
4. My all-time favorite movie is Casablanca.
5. I can't pick a favorite song because my musical taste is far to eclectic.

1) I dont put tv or the radio on in the house just to have something on. I like to sit in my stillness. It helps keep me in the moment...

2) I am not a music fan. I could live without hearing music at all, in fact. Yet, I am constantly singing at work.

3) I sniff. Yes. Sniff Sniff. I tend to have sinus problems and allergies so I sniff. But they are delicate femme sniffs

4) I am MORTIFIED if someone tries to talk to me when I am in the bathroom..for any reason...

5) I HATE the scent of vanilla. It can actually make me gag and throw up if it is too strong or sudden..

Five things that people would not know about me:

1) I have seen many Ghosts in my life time.

2) I can tell alot about a person by looking in thier eyes.

3) I like to have my back scratched.

4) I am a very good lover.

5) I like cream cheese on crackers with stuffed olives sliced on top.

I have 5 more things but you will have to get to know me to find those out. LOL

1. I seem to be more self-conscious than the average person.

2. I love spinach, especially with garlic.

3. I like to watch Criminal Minds, but I usually have to turn it off because the subject matter is so upsetting. I don't like to be reminded how degraded human beings can become.

4. After working with older people who have no money, I worry about getting older and needing care.

5. We have five cats, but my favorite is Zoe. She a long, sleek black cat with tons of energy, a thunderous purr, and a meow that sounds like it's from outer space. She says, "me'eeep!"

I dated a priest

I have a thing for curtains and if someone I partner with tries to take control of what goes on the windows, this spells "danger danger Will Robinson" for the relationship

Moody Blues were and are still my favorite band
which says alot since I dont like listening to music

I am incredibly easy to please. Time spent over a piece of pie, a drive thru the drive thru for a diet coke when I am parched, little FB messages for me to wake up to...yeah..thats all it takes.

I cant eat or drink ginger without feeling nauseaus
