Five things

Name five things about you that the rest of us may not know or that make you who you are. It can be anything really.

1. I love music so much I will spend hours on end listening to it and I tend to be a channel flipper.


2. I love cooking and baking its one of the things I can get lost in and sometimes go overboard with.

3. I was raised on a small cattle farm, and even though we sold all but 12 acres off a few years ago I am still a farm girl at heart and hope to buy my farm back one day.

4. I collect cat knick knacks and I am on the verge of needing to buy a curios cabinet for them.

5. I don't tell many this but I have big feet, I wear a size 10 w in ladies shoes. And I am terribly self conscious about that fact so if I openly admitted it here it means I gotta love ya.

1) I suck my thumb when I sleep. I always have, and don't even realize I'm doing it.

2) I used to be 170 pounds heavier than I currently am.

3) I am still technically/legally married to my ex. Neither one of us have bothered to file for divorce as we have nothing to really divide up.

4) A LOT of people have told me that they find me intimidating. They say that I have a "superior" attitude, and the tattoos and such add to that intimidation factor. They also tell me that it didn't take long to figure out that really I am nothing more than a big teddy bear.

5) I was always a cat rescuer, even when I was a very young girl. I can barely remember being 6-8 years old, finding a stray kitten and literally going door to door trying to find it a home.

1. I always have my iTunes on (I have it programed to start up before anything else on my computer ) and with a library over 175000 songs I'm never bored.

2. I myself am quite musical. It seems I can play almost any instrument. And I've taken lessons in various instruments since I was 3 years old.

3. I can solve 3X3X3, 4X4X4, and 5X5X5 Rubik's cubes.

4. I have an older brother living in China teaching english

5. I'm a fan of anime, specifically Dragonball/Z/GT and Bleach (my all-time favorite TV show/comic book ever).

Dont worry about shoe size-
1-I wear a GUYS 11 and stopped trying to get any womans shoes as none fit right.

2-I LOVE off roading and have only gotten stuck once when I sliced my tire on probably a beer bottle.

3-I love driving till I am very far into an area I don't know and getting back out on own(growing up my dad named that "wasting gas")

4-I have enough cats for a lifetime!!!

5- I would love to up and leave and just wander the world. Not the glamorous parts just basic life in all different areas(#4 ends that I'd say)

1. I love to cook and bake....I just love feeding people.

2. One of the happiest times for me is during the winter when it's cold outside. DH is snuggled in a blanket on the sofa watching football. I'm back in bed under the electric blanket with cats all around me and a good book in my hand. Life is good.

3. I'm extremely shy until you get to know me. It's difficult for me to make friends simply because I am so shy. People mistake that for arrogance or being stuck-up. It's not. I'm just really shy. (But once you get to know me? Look out!)

4. I got married at 16 and will be married 40 years in 2011.

5. I would rather read a good book than watch tv.

Let's see...
1. I used to have an eating disorder.
2. I published a book of poetry when i was 16
3. I cried when George Carlin died
4. I REALLY prefer being alone with my cat(s)
5. When I was a teenager, I was extremely wild. My poor mother was at her wits end. She put me through an honest to God Exorcism!! It was terrifying!!

---been playing in bands since I was 13 yr old
---have a predilection for collecting folk art
---been married for well nigh unto 35 yrs now---and counting
---have my own recording studio
---I me my cat collection...

1. If I'm watching TV I can rarely watch a show until the end- I usually get bored really quickly, and so I very rarely sit in front of the TV, usually just for a few minutes.

2. I'm studying history at university

3. I play clarinet and piano, and I really want to get better at playing piano because I really enjoy playing it.

4. I speak Bulgarian, Spanish and a little Russian and I really want to learn Japanese

5. I've loved animals all of my life and always wanted lots of pets! My dream is still to have at least a dog and another cat once I can afford it.

BTW I have big feet too. I wear a 9 or 10, depending on the shoes, and the weird thing is I am not that tall- I am only 5'6" and a half and I have a small body frame..
So, I am not sure why I have such big feet I am self conscious about it too..

1. I can't read with the TV or radio on, I must have complete silence.

2. I abhor cooking and stay out of the kitchen as much as possible.

3. I was once hypnotized live on stage in San Diego.

4. My favorite season is Fall/Winter and hate the Summer.

5. I love the shorter days that we are having now.

I value highly relationships, my husband, my family, my pets, and friends mean a lot to me
I am usually found writing
I love heat, warmth, sunny days, and places where palm trees grow
I love cooking and growing fruits and veggies and then feeding people what I make
I clean to relieve stress, I love to clean period

* I love to read mindless books because they transport me into a different life for a few hours & I read faster then I wish I did...I get most my books from the library & if I love it I buy it and read it over and over.

*I am an eternal optimist....no matter what happens I always know that things will get better/work out. Although when I am upset and wanting to vent, the worst thing someone can say to me is "it will get better" because I already know that and sometimes just want to vent.

*If I could afford it, I would have a lot more tattoos then I do.

*I don't go to the doctor unless I am really sick...and then I go to urgent care. I haven't had a family doctor since I was around 18m which was 9 years ago. I am terrified that I will go to the doctor finally and find out I have something wrong with me.

*I dream of selling everything I own and driving away to make a new life somewhere but will never do it. We need my husbands job stability and insurance, and could never move all our cats in just one car with no plans as to where we want to end up...but we still dream about it....

-I can read for hours upon hours and not get bored, anything from chick lit, legal thrillers, mystery, and non-fiction. I used to read multiple books a day on days off from work. My record was 100 in a year at one point, but as I've gotten busier in life, it's dropped back and I also don't keep track as well anymore.

-I enjoy working on cars, and have been doing so since I was 10. I have too many of them, but have a "purpose" for all of them I originally planned to major in automotive technology.

-I love road trips, and experiencing/visiting new places. Cannot wait for our 2nd cross country trip, a "northern route". {And while everyone jokes "you're still married!?" after extended time in a car/hotels with the hubby, I find it great to get away with him }

-I love pole dancing, aerial hoop, and aerial silks. I could join the circus if only I could do contortion to go with it

-I am super close to my grandmother, we are two peas in a pod. She raised me for 2 years, and I always spent a lot of time with her growing up. I wish I lived closer so I could continue to spend more time with her, but I spend at least a week up there every other year.

1.. I also have big feet a womens 11...

2. I'm a loner at heart I enjoy my privacy and am shy..

3. I love to read I have read 1000's of books..
4..I enjoy nothing more then working in my flower gardens..I Loved having my kitties with me. but I no longer allow them out only inside their purrfect fence now

.5. I hate winter time!!!Stay close to the wood stove and wait for spring!!

1) I never slept through the night until I was about 30

2) A month after I broke up with my 1st boyfriend, he murdered someone

3) I was a Daddy's girl until he died when I was 17. I never felt my Mom loved me like Dad did.

4) I am an overly sensitive bawl baby

5) My friends get annoyed I don't go out with them. I prefer to spend my time with my family
