Thanks to Gary for this wonderful idea. It's so much fun to learn about you all. I am excited to read your lists.
I revised #6 because I wanted to include something that I don't get to talk about ever since I don't know any cowboys.
1. When I was a kid I wanted to be an archaeologist and the President of the Untied States.
2. I collect Chuck Taylor shoes. They have been my everyday shoe since I was 11. Still have the first pair I bought in 2002, they fit, best $100 I have ever spent.
3. I'm the youngest of 9. The tenth died. Two full brothers the rest half brothers and sisters. I am not close to any of them.
4. My Mom died in a car accident. She has been gone longer than I knew her. I still miss her.
5. My Father saved our family from a fire when I was 5.
6. During a visit to the family farm I was petting a young horse. He bit my right tit and made me bleed. I was so mad I punched him in the head then ran away as fast as I could!
7. I listen to NPR, all day. I rarely watch tv.
8. My best friend and I have matching tattoos which reference Aristotle .
9. I spend as much time as possible naked, my neighbors have all seen me in the buff. I even go outside naked.
10. Last year, I visited the Grand Canyon and cried because it's beauty was overwhelming.
11. When I was 8 a bicycle pedal cut through my knee. I got 22 staples and wore a brace for 3 months. I tell people I got stabbed.
12. I have little patience and a quick temper.
13. My dream career path is to join the Peace Corps. Get the skills to open my open a school for under privileged women. Open an animal rescue. Be really filthy fucking rich.
14. My nieces greet my dog before they greet me. I take this dog almost everywhere. Even inappropriate places.
15. My first pet was a mouse. Since then I've had rats, a cat, dogs, birds, turtles, fish and frogs.
16. I shaved my head when I was 16 to piss off my Dad. People thought I had cancer. Sometimes I got called "Sir".
17. Every time I hear the Backstreet Boys I sing along.
18. I have had sex at work on multiple occasions, during business hours . It was HOT! Serge you missed out buddy.
19. I remember the moment I fell in love with Serge. We were eating ribs.
20. I have yet to learn forgiveness.
21. I practiced karate for several years. Waiting for my chance to round house kick someone.
22. I get hit on at least once a week. I catch guys checking me out everyday. I fear the day this stops happening.
23. My nose is the one body feature I dislike. Once Serge licked it and I cried.
24. I would rather be having sex. It's might be kinda sad but it's my favorite thing ever.
25. Pregnancy scares me. Last year we had a miscarriage.
Re: #25, Jesus Carmel be careful! You're too young to have a baby!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't want kids until I was 30. Seeing as we were engaged and own a house together we were going to do it but It was a total shock since I've been on birth control for years. It was a tubal pregnancy, wouldn't have happened anyway.
DeleteI was too young to be having a baby too :)
ReplyDelete#21 is your Inner Chuck Norris
#23 was more a total full on french kiss of the nose - that was no ordinary Lick
#12 is more true than true
You were too young when Tricia was pregnant. You're now facing 40.
ReplyDelete#21 The truth is I wanted to be a Power Ranger. This is more true than I am comfortable admitting to.
#23 was traumatic
#12 I'm really trying to work on that. I'm not proud of it.
"I have had sex at work on multiple occasions, during business hours"
ReplyDeleteWas anyone with you at the time? ;o)
Nice post.
Ducki, yes, someone was with me :) I am kinda slutty, now thinking about it because I've had sex in a few public places, in daylight
ReplyDeleteGreat list. Being a woman of size with zero interest in the opposite sex, I have hardly ever been hit on or noticed that I was being hit on. I honestly can't imagine dealing with that every week. I guess you learn to deflect it or act on it, with all that practice! :-)
ReplyDeleteCranky, thanks for reading. I'm no dainty flower either. I'm a big bitch. My fear is just that one day I will lose whatever it is that makes me appealing to people. Part of it is my confidence, that I know. Some of that comes from knowing I'm pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense. My mother, a handsome woman, used to complain that as she got older, she became invisible when she was out and about.
ReplyDeleteI never get hit on but that's because I am a dude? I never notice people checking me out either.. but that could be because I am an oblivious engineer when it comes to women.
ReplyDelete#9 Sounds like a good one! So, you need a pizza delivered when I am in Vegas? :).
I guess what I'm saying is, I've been getting noticed since I was 12. Now that I'm getting older I realize how fleeting my looks are. I'm a little afraid of the day I will no longer turn heads.
