I can whistle pretty good! We should have a whistling contest, lol.
1. Can you drive a motorcicle?... Almost 5 years ago my dad decided that he wanted to get his motorcycle license, I kind of wanted to get mine too after seeing a girl in Toronto riding one around the city in a dress, lol. He signed us up for the course and we did it... and passed! We shared a motorcycle, but for some reason I was always afraid to drive it very far. I would take it to get coffee or to go to the store up the street quick, but never more than a 10 minute drive or so. Our licenses expire this year, we never took the test to get our full licenses. We're both ok with it, he sold the motorcycle to one of my sisters. She drove it from my parents place to where she lives - a 12 hour drive. That was last year. She called my parents yesterday to tell them that she had taken it out for a short drive and ended up around Gaspe - quite a few hours from where she lives, lol. She stayed overnight there and drove home the next day. I would like to get my license again, but I just want a Vespa type scooter.
2 Worst injury you've ever had?... When I was riding I was out on the trails with a pretty green horse. I remember thinking before I even left, "I shouldn't be doing this" but didn't listen to myself and took him out. He got spooked by a bird and my little finger got caught in the reins on my way down. I broke it pretty bad, but had to way back to the barn. I sucked it up and got back on, rode him all the way back with no problems. When I got back to the barn I handed him over to someone else for a few minutes, went to the tack room and taped my finger to my other one, then went right back to work. No way that I could do that now, lol. My little finger on that hand still sticks out funny - it goes up on about a 45 degree angle when I have my hand flat.
Another time I was out with my friends in the country and fell into a ditch. I fractured my ankle and didn't go to the hospital until the next day. It never did heal properly and that's why I had to stop riding. I was competing n show jumping and couldn't keep my ankle in the stirrup long enough to do a course. I go out every once in awhile now but I have to either ride with no saddle or with my stirrups super long.
3. Do you love where you live?... I love the country that I live in, I love parts of where I live... but for the most part, no. We don't live in a good area, it's ok but there is still a lot that goes on and I'm not even comfortable taking my dogs out to pee at night.
4. How many TVs do you have in your house?.... We have two. One in the living room and one in our bedroom.
5. Who is your loudest friend?... One of my old friends Jess was one of the loudest people you'd ever meet. My sister is pretty close competition.
6. Do you have any pets?(apart of your kitts of course )….... I have two dogs that live with me (Sadie and Fynn, dachshunds) and one that lives with my friend (Lucy, another dachshund - we co own her). We also have 4 fish - a plecko, two schbunkin goldfish and an angelfish. We took the angelfish from a lady I work with that was just going to flush it, we don't have a heater in our tank but it seems to do fine. It's often swimming around with the goldfish - right in between them! Then we have our little meowzer, lol.
7. Does someone have a crush on you?... One of my good friends does, lol. We met a few years ago at a pub. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and was there with a friend having a beer before going to a club. We all got talking, I must have said my age first and then he said he was 20. After hanging out with him some more I found out he was actually 17 (turning 18 in a month) and had lied about his age. We never did date, but we are super close friends and I think he does still have a crush on me, even though we're both in relationships and have been for awhile.
There's also a kid at work that has a crush on me, lol.
8. Your favorite book(s)? I just finished reading a book called Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. It was hilarious and I absolutely loved it. I also love anything by Douglas Copeland.
9. Do you collect anything?... I collect old film cameras, my favourite is the Brownie Hawkeye. I use every camera I have - from the hawkeye (I have to file down the film to fit) to the 35mm cameras to my Mamiya 645.
I also collect anything with a dachshund on it, lol.
10. What song do you want played at your funeral? I'll have to get back to you on that one... I haven't thought of it much. My mom wants a song called Lay Me Down Sweet Jesus by Justin Rutledge played at hers. I would love to have the words, "like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free."
