okay.
1. - i've suffered from nightmares almost my whole life! My brain produces some really fucked up shit. i've even been known to have dreams so vivid, i wake up remembering every detail; and more than once i've dreamed the future...iamtheprophetess?? hardly.
2. - When i was five, i had to go to Vancouver to the nearest Children's Hospital to have surgery. When i woke up, my mom gave me a Cat puppet and a slinky bracelet. i was never so happy to see her.
3. - Both my thumbs are double jointed. This makes it very difficult to play the guitar, and also the clarinet.
4. - Also, my hips are double jointed too... but not in a way that enhances mine or B-rad's sex life, unfortunately, more in the way that if i stand in one position too long, my hip will pop out. rather embarassing.
5. - i don't eat red meat. Not because i don't want to... i looooooves me some steak... or a roast beef dinner.... but whenever i eat it, it sends my guts into terrible crampy distress. so i avoid it altogether.
6. - i also don't eat seafood. I'm allergic to shellfish, and i can't stand the taste of 'fish' at all, so i steer clear from the whole food 'genre'.
7. - i hate having dirty nails. and i constantly clean out the nail gunk with a paper clip. Having uneven or chipped nails also sorta bothers me, but not enough to really do anything about it.
8. - i love the smell of a freshly lit cigarette. but just the freshly lit variety.
9. - i constantly kill house plants. i'm sooo bad at that.
10. - i love it when b-rad plays with my hair. So much so, that i'm almost positive i was a cat in a former life.
11. - One of my pet peeves is fidgeting. B-rad is a fidgeter - he must play with something at all times, including - but not limited to: twirling my engagemnet/wedding rings while holding my hand, pulling on the seams of my jeans inside my thigh, playing "guitar" on my leg while driving, playing with my bra strap when his arm is around me... and much much more. but i love him. sigh.
12. - When i finally ended my horrible relationship with Dickface, i very dramatically (and very AWESOMELY) threw the ring he gave me in his face and walked away. it was wicked sweet. later that day i commented to my mom that i missed having his ring more than i missed him - now my thumb was all empty. So, my mother bought me a cheap silver ring to replace the one i threw at D.F. i have worn it every single day since then - and it is the most important ring i own aside from my wedding/engagement rings. it makes me think of my mom. i love her, she's fantastic.
13. - due to this whole preggers thing, my hands have swelled up a tad. I woke up one morning in a panic thinking i'd never be able to get my wedding/engagement rings off - and it took over a half hour of trying before i was able to slide them off my throbbing ring finger. I now wear those rings on a chain around my neck, and the ring from my mom (see above) sits on my ring finger as a place holder.
14. - i have, on occassion, sm0ked p0t - but never really liked it. Mostly it just made me sleepy and paranoid - i always felt like i was chewing off the insides of my mouth, ew. i could never relax about the whole mouth thing enough to enjoy being high.
to tag, to tag... who will i tag!?!?
1. Funny Girl
2. Em
3. Melsie (where are you Melsie?)
4. Witchypoo
5. Real Live Lesbian
6. Paige Stanton (YES...again!)
7. B.E.Earl
now, hopefully i have appeased the Meme-Gods!!
UPDATE!
apparently i have not appeased the Meme-Gods, because as i was off tagging people i discovered i was tagged for this meme by Paige Stanton, and also for another meme by Funny Girl. So, here are seven MORE things for Paige:
1. - growing up poor, we 'rented' our movies from the local library, which included musicals of every sort. While my friends were watching the Care Bears movies, i was learning the words to The Sound of Music and Kiss Me Kate.
2. - My brother and i had "paper routes" when we were in the 6th and 5th grades, respectively. My mother would drive us from the farm into town so that we could deliver the fliers after supper. The Flier route was much easier than a Paper route because there was no money to be collected
3. - One night delivering fliers, in the winter (warm Balmy winters of Southern British Columbia) i had turned the street i was delivering on into a set from The Sound of Music, and i danced down the street singing my little 11 year old heart out. Just as i was coming to the big finish of "16 going on 17" i hear clapping from the house ahead of me. i was mortified.
4. - When i was 12 i was asked to go with a family friend to Cardston, AB to babysit while they went to the Temple. I was to be paid $100.00, and i felt like i had just inherited millions! A hundred dollars would NEVER run out!!
5. - i was severly jaded when the Hundred dollars ran out after purchasing a shirt, a pair of pants, and some candy.
6. - When i was six i told my mother i didn't want to be a virgin when i grew up. i didn't know what a virgin was, i just knew i didn't want to be one.
7. - i was 12 when i finally got the chicken pox. my two younger brothers barely broke out and were done in a matter of days. my older brother and i got them sooo badly, they were in our ears, mouths, throats, we were terribly sick and covered completely from head to toe. we slept in a snowsuits to stop ourselves from itching, it was July.
