Yes! I want to be a medical examiner actually, the person that performs the autopsies. I think it would be a job I could never get bored with, but it takes forever and it can be very sad at times!

I'm new and have been yapping away on the forum, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to answer:

1. I'm 24, divorced (yeah, I know), living with a wonderful boyfriend, two cats, and a ferret in Arlington, VA.
2. I love that I live in Arlington. I can drive two minutes and be at the cemetary, a few more minutes and be at the Smithsonian museums and memorials. I always lived in the country my entire life (except for a 3-year stint in Okinawa "back in the day" before the American military families had cable, internet access, etc.), so I am constantly amazed at city life. The other day, I was honestly flabbergasted that I was able to get in my car, run to Target, spend entirely too long buying another litter box and some smelly food for the sick cat, and be back in my apartment in exactly 30 minutes. Where I come from, 30 minutes is how long it takes to get anywhere (like a gas station - not shopping), at a minimum. I'm still a country girl at heart and don't see myself living this close to everything for the long term, but I'm happy to be experiencing it. When I was a kid, I always said I was moving to a huge city for a year or two. I love that I can walk to bars, restaurants, a library, etc. I love that I can jump in the car and be swiping my credit card for Wellness, Evo, etc. in five minutes flat. I used to make my poor ex-husband drive over an hour to buy cat food with me, LOL.
3. I am a food freak. Luckily, Dave is, too. He was overweight when he was a teenager (in very good shape now), so he's the most neurotic man I've ever seen about food, but he still loves to cook and eat. We cook together most nights of the week.
4. I'm absurdly conservative or a tie-dyed hippie, depending on who you ask.

5. I hate shopping. I hate accessories. I hate jewelry. Well, I don't so much hate accessories and jewelry as I hate buying them, keeping track of them, and maintaining them. Literally, the only piece of jewelry that has survived my abuse is an emerald ring my mom bought for me when I turned eighteen. It survives by living on the windowsill above her kitchen sink. I don't know why she leaves it there (maybe it reminds her of me?), but I refuse to take it so I won't lose it.
6. If you haven't noticed, "brevity" is not my middle name.

Nothing too exciting about me, I'm afraid!

1. I have red hair.

2. I speak 6 languages.

3. I once rode an elephant bareback (no howdah to sit in)

4. I have 9 cats.

5. I used to be a historical reenactor; Colonial and Civil War, and made all of my own costumes, including the authentic corsets.

6. I had surgery in the ER while wearing one of the above authentic costumes!

7. My hobbies are: gardening, sewing, reenacting, cooking, and driving my husband crazy by constant cleaning; and organizing and labeling stuff around the house. In fact, I'm starting to drive MYSELF crazy by constant cleaning; and organizing and labeling stuff around the house...

8. I grew up next door to a farm, even though we lived in suburbia, and have milked cows (and foolishly walked barefoot in the pasture...you guessed it!)

9. I used to collect 1860's (original) photos of people, called CDV's ("cartes de visites" in French--used like calling cards). I have about 400.

10. I used to teach English to foreign-language speakers as a tutor (I LOVED doing that, even though it was for free!)

11. I once did a monthly, 5-minute spot on local cable TV for about a year or so.

3. I am very dependable. you can always count on me to be there.

7. I quit smoking cigarettes about 3 years ago.


8. I have never been drunk in my life; I have been buzzed though.


9. I am a great speller although I had such a hard time spelling schnauzer a lot.


10. I type really fast.

11. I am easy to get along with but will not get along with you if you dump your animals, neglect them, or abuse them. same goes for kids. I am a very forgiveful person and don't hold grudges but will choose not to speak to you if you do any of the above.

12. I never want kids, they aren't for me. I love them but will never have them. I would foster a kid though if I had to get them out of a bad situation.

13. I watch movies over and over again if I like the movies like Just like Heaven, Take the lead, man of the house with tommy lee jones, step up, homeward bound 1 and 2.

14. I am a pushover when it comes to kids or animals but I can be strict with them if I have to.

that's all for now I think.

I don't have anything really interesting to say about myself....but I'll try to come up with something. I think I'm rather boring next to most people.

1- My favourite foods in the world are Mashed Potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli, and anything chocolate, especially dark chocolate.

2- I collect My Little Pony's

3- I collect Kiss (the rock band Kiss) Memorabilia

4- For years the only mode of transportation I had was a motorcycle.

5-Horses and cats are my favourite animals.

6- I love the smell of diesel fuel.

7- I got cable TV, just so I could watch "Dog, the Bounty Hunter"

8-I was born in San Diego (La Mesa), CA, and I now live in Los Angeles, although my dream is to live in New York City.

9-I get anxiety attacks when I'm out in the country or the wilderness.

10- I don't like driving on the freeway, and the only time you'd get me to drive on the freeway, would be if my life depended on it.

11- I'm a good loyal friend, who would stand behind a friend and for a friend until the end, but very few people give me the chance to prove it.

On the farm
1. I am a car girl - I have 4 cars and have worked on them for 11 years (although it is not my job).

2. I work in a chemistry laboratory, and enjoy it


3. I live with my fiance & his family ... and I'm 3 seconds away from meeting my wit's end!

4. I am cat obsessed. If there were a degree in "Cat", I would probably have acquired it by now.

5. I grew up in New Jersey, and am still 100% Jersey girl. If I could go back, I would in a heartbeat. I moved in 2004, right after my jr. year in HS was over - not by choice, either.

6. I've lived in Charleston, SC for two years now. I like it, but would love to go back to my hometown as stated above.

7. I'm highly interested in forensics and am a CourtTV addict when it comes to Forensic Files, Body of Evidence, and Power Privilege and Justice - although I doubt I will ever get into such a field.

8. I have a half sister who is 21 years older than me. A brother that is 2.5 years younger than me.

9. I will be marrying my amazing fiance in just under 5 months and cannot wait (Now if only I had a house of our own to go with that...). I met him on the internet in 2004 through a car message board.

10. I LOVE drag racing. The smell of VHT is the best smell in the entire world. Burnt rubber comes in a close second.

11. Road trips are my favorite type of "vacation". We are very spontaneous sometimes when it comes to road trips. I found out at 6pm one night that we would be driving to Indiana around 1am to pick up a car, and head halfway back the same night.

Well, lets see....

1) I'm a 31yr old stay-at-home Mom
2) I share my home with my husband, daughter, 4 dogs, and 5 cats (2 of which are fosters).
3) I enjoy writing, which I'm currently taking a class to enhance this, because I hope to turn it into a career.
4) I love reading, photography, art, and working with the animals.
5) I'm currently training one of our dogs to get her ready for obedience/rally obedience competition, and then she'll go on to train in agility.
6) I enjoy doing therapy visits at a local retirement home with one of our other dogs.
7) I love the outdoors.
8) My favorite food is Italian.
9) I'm a big music fan. I'm very versatile in my music choice, but I'm very picky when it comes to country, because that just isn't my preference. I'm a huge Linkin' Park, Metallica, and Godsmack fan. My mother was an enormous Elvis Presley fan, so, yes, I do like Elvis, as well.

10) I consider myself to be a very friendly and down to earth person, but I'm a strong believer in standing up for what is important to you. It takes a lot to upset me. I do tend to be quiet until I get to know someone, but then I can be a talker.

11) I tend to laugh when I'm nervous or stressed. My philosophy is when things get tough, you have three options...(1) cry (2) laugh (3) scream. I prefer to laugh.

12) Last thing....I'm a Leo and pretty true to their nature.


I guess that's all for now...think it's enough?
Seriously, if you want to know more, just ask.
