About me thoughts stolen from:
notsosoft.com( I love her Britty style)
I turned mine into 36 facts because I didn’t feel like some of her facts really belonged
together on the same line. I’m tidy that way. Oh picky picky.
1. I try to write. (cough…insert big fat tongue in cheek and bat your eyes for forgiveness)
2. I like sleep. Except I never want to GO to sleep and never want to GET up.
3. I like movies once you get me there. The last movie I actually liked was “Almost Famous”.
4. I like real fires. Not those fake gas log kind that seems to have taken over America.
5. I’m Southern. I dislike cold.
6. Yeah I hate celery too except in my Bloody Marys. I’m not sure I hate it enough to write about it though. But I could write a novel on how much I hate hot dogs.
7. Patronizing men are the worst!
8. I’m hot. I admit it. ;)~~~
9. In her description of a geek…then I guess I’m one too. blah. No I take that back. I AM NOT. Maybe once I do a anthropological research project *** about my time on the net I will declare myself as one too. But not yet.***
10. I’m a sucker for a creole/caribbean accent. I’m in trouble but I don’t care.
11. Ok your right. I go for dark eyes, wit, charm, intellect, natural sensuality, and the ability to put up with mood swings. But NO BLONDES. I don’t get along well with blonde men or women as a matter of fact.
12. The only thing I really like to look at from above are the lights of a city at night. Especially when I fly into Atlanta and know I’m home.
13. The only time I have ever really been interested in looking at a map was to find the location of the West Indies. Caribbean Islands. And I have a map of that on my desktop. Otherwise I throw maps out the window.
14. I collect vintage erotica. I admit my life is bloody sheltered. *love that word*
15. Passion for film? Isn’t that redundant? *see #3* Music is my passion.
16. My perfect evening consist of: being with a man who knows how to swoon me. I love food but not when I’m drinking. I don’t like wine, it gives me a headache. I prefer a lover over friends, but he wouldn’t be a lover unless he knew how to carry on a conversation with me in the first place. And good music is essential to all things in life.
17. I admit to having manicure/pedicure lust. And the toenails must ALWAYS match the fingernails. French, pale pink, or red.
18. Two favorite tastes? dijon mustard and pure horseradish.
19. I have too many shoes as well. But what woman doesn’t?
20. Every night I fall asleep to the white noise of a fan. 365 days a year.
21. Wow! The air thru the tear ducts thing IS freaky. I tried to blow smoke rings, but they never turned out round.
22. I never took pictures before I obtained a digital camera. Now I’m overly obsessed with it. I still don’t know how to use it but I try.
23. Beauty kit? Now thats cute. Really. Is that like, “what four items do I need to survive?” Ok…mine would be pink lip gloss, Rosa Graf cream, tweezers, and after much deliberation I would have to choose my perfume over my mascara. But I would really try and sneak in that mascara some way.
24. I have two tattoos. Both to be discovered in search missions.
25. She made me laugh.
26. I’m not really sure a person can have “been” in love and then be “out” of love totally with that person. I must admit I still have love for all those I’ve loved before … maybe they won’t talk to me now, but I still love them. 😉
27. I couldn’t care less about gadgets per se, but I do like it when I figure out how to use something properly.
28. I would have to choose water. Bottled of course. I need some practical things in my life.
29. I have quite a nice library now because I love to go shopping in bookstores. I like first editions. I used to be a big time reader prior to becoming a nettie.Only problem now is a lot of them are left unread because I do so much reading on here. But at least I’m ready for those times when the power goes out.
30. I speak Southern. But try to fake a French accent sometimes.
31. As previously mentioned any wine gives me a headache.
32. Tequila has caused me to do things I want to do sober so I can remember it.
33. There is no mystery to it. If I plan to drink I plan to get drunk. No social drinking for me.
34. I’m trying not to drink. Drinking leads to smoking. And smoking leads to wrinkles. And I don’t want wrinkles.
35. I won a disco contest one time. I only wish I had been 10 years old.
36. Even tequila couldn’t make me disco again. But it might cause me to start a fight. On second thought it HAS caused me to start a fight.
Man this just keeps going on and on. But I want to keep up with her. Ok I’ve heard about the Kevin Bacon theory(Six Degrees of Separation) but I much prefer the one about Elvis Presley. And I find it true enough that at any given time somebody somewhere knows somebody I know in some way. Except I always think its spooky when it happens and I hope to always be surprised by it. Now let me read this so I can figure out if I know her or not. And I’m not getting into my little “potted” history yet. Too much to think about right now. I’ll steal that idea another day.
