Onward to Day 18: "Post 30 facts about yourself".
Okay, here it goes:
- I am the servant to a beautiful Manx cat and she is quite demanding and entirely lovely.
- I'm the youngest of 5 siblings.
- I measure my life in three month increments - never looking further forward than that.
- I have never lived without a pet in my home, usually dogs or cats, but have also had fish, birds, hamsters, lizards, and turtles.
- I love anything water: rain, ocean, pool, lakes, rivers, puddles, etc.
- I love to swim - it's my favorite form of exercise, but I rarely get a chance to swim.
- I love the ocean, but I hate the beach. I wish there was a way to get into the ocean without walking through sand.
- I can play 9 different musical instruments (guitar, piano, flute, piccolo, recorder, oboe, saxophone, drums, and kazoo) - although I suck at drums.
- Donny Osmond was my first celebrity crush. I used to watch The Donny & Marie Show religiously and wished I could oust Marie. (Although I was NEVER a little bit country.) While I no longer crush on Donny, I still love to hear him sing. (Guilty pleasure.)
- Crowds make me nervous. People are too unpredictable and I don't feel safe standing among them. Also, being short, I can't see over the crowd.
- I quit drinking alcohol on July 9, 2010 after a particularly bad night of drinking on the 8th. I haven't had a drink since.
- I still like to lick the beaters and bowls when baking.
- I love to crochet but don't do it often enough. I have about 4 different projects started that I need to complete.
- Years ago, I took ASL classes and was getting pretty fluent until it got to be an expensive hobby. I would like to go back to learning sign language.
- I hate anything coffee related, which includes ice cream, tiramisu, and mocha-anything.
- I think sunsets are prettier than sunrises but I love both.
- If I could spend the rest of my life traveling, I would do it.
- Clowns freak me out! I don't know if I would go so far as to say I have coulrophobia, but I really don't like clowns.
- Growing up, I wanted to have the following careers: marine biologist, archaeologist, or surgeon.
- In 1984, I purchased my first car which was a 1974 orange Ford Pinto station wagon that cost me $400. I hated that car.
- I got my first tattoo at age 39. I now have 6 tattoos and still love each and every one. Thinking of getting a 7th.
- I was kicked by a donkey when I was about 4 years old and had nightmares about it for years. My dreams would have the donkey kicking me clear across the road.
- I love DIY television shows, blogs, and magazines although I don’t own a house or know how to safely use a power tool.
- I have lived in 12 different houses during my lifetime, which averages to a new house every 4 years.
- I consistently have a pile of books on my shelves ready for reading, yet I continue to buy new ones to add to the pile.
- In college, I majored in music for my Associate's degree, English literature for my Bachelor's degree, and Education for my Master's degree (expected to finish in December this year). I would like to get a Ph.D. focusing on 19th century British novels.
- I have never been in a long term relationship.
- I wore braces for 2 years, 3 months and 11 days during my middle school years. Not that I was counting or anything.
- I hate the color pink.
- Unlike most women, I barely wear any jewelry. Usually, when I do wear it, it annoys me and I end removing the items.
