  • 1. I LOVE all of the Madea movies... Tyler Perry is awesome!!
    2. I'm a Rap/Hip-hop lover, but have a secret affinity for Type O Negative (Peter Steele was gorgeous!!)
    3. I seizured and almost died while having my tonsils out when I was 6... that resulted in a stay at the Ronald McDonald house, whic was awesome! LOL
    4. I want to be a school teacher, but it's not in the cards for me.
    5. I absolutely detest mushrooms.. loved them until I was pregnant with my daughter, now I can't stand them (and that was over 4 years ago!!)

    Oh my goodness! Whenever I say that Peter Steele is my dream man (which has been since high school) no one ever knows who I'm talking about! So glad to see someone else with impeccable taste.

    Here's my five:

    1. All of my favorite foods are smothered in cheese (mac & cheese, grilled cheese, pasta with tons of fresh grated cheese)
    2. I have never kept a plant alive longer than a year (even kill-proof plants, like bamboo)
    3. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have a husband who embraces my absolute weirdness (just last night I was dancing in the supermarket and he gladly joined me. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.)
    4. The best concert I've ever been to was Tom Waits in Columbus, OH a few years ago.
    5. There is nothing more fun to me than game nights with my family.

    1. I hate feet (other people's disgust me, and I don't even particularly care for my own)
    2. I can meow and sound like a real cat, so I must always meow at them when I see one (and they usually meow back at me, staring at me like I'm some large, weird bald cat)
    3. I use to be a RentRat (I would sit for 8+ hours outside in the cold for front row tickets for the musical Rent....boy the stories I have about that time in my life!)
    4. I own the entire series of New Kids On The Block cards, which I keep in a baseball card case and have held on to, and will continue to hold to, for years. I know SOMEDAY they will be worth something.
    5. Before my current job I use to be a proofreader at a newspaper. I will read over my own posts/messages/IM at LEAST once before sending it, and if I send it and a mistake went through it will bother me. I also read everything I receive like a proofreader and will find the mistakes and those will bother me, too.

    4. I believe that the news typically fails to inform and generally provides salacious and useless high-brow gossip

    I love beading jewelry using little tiny tiny beads.
    I give horseback riding lessons to a mentally and physically challenged child.
    My Nook is my new best friend.
    My cat, Princess (by the way I did NOT name her this) I adopted from a no-kill shelter. She had been there for nine months without willingly allowing anyone to touch her...for example when they put her in the crate to go home with me they had to put heavy rubber gloves that went on up to their elbows! She bit me both times I went to visit her. The interesting part is that when I got her home and had spent a bit of time talking to her while she was in her crate, she got out and got onto my lap. Nine years later...she still draws blood, but, rarely. And she is no longer afraid to have my hand over her head. So sad the damage that can be done to these animals.
    I hate buying perfume! I am never confident that what smells good to me actually smells good to others on me!
    I love shopping at consignment stores, Vallue Village, etc... Got a brand new Talbot's blue-green corderoy jacket for $15.00.

    And, obviously, can not count...that was six things..oh, darn this makes it seven...

    1. In 2001, I was the National 3-Baton & Hoop Baton twirling Champion!
    2. I grew up in Truck & Tractor Pulling.. I still love the smell of diesel fuel, the sound of a performance engine, and dirt :)
    3. Vegetarians & Vegans frustrate the crap out of me. Especially when they are doing it to "save the animals". Same goes for organizations like PETA & HSUS. These Organizations have an Agenda, they have little education when it comes to animal well-being, and do more harm than good. Give your $$ to your LOCAL Humane Shelter. It is NOT the same as PETA or HSUS (which has a similar name). End rant. If you want more information, feel free to message me :) On the same note, our Farmers do not get the appreciation they deserve over a few black-eyes in the industry. If you had a good meal today, thank a farmer!
    4. I hate snakes, feet, spiders, creepy crawly things, and touching fish. Yuck!
    5. I'm addicted to post-it notes. I use them for everything!

    2. I hate snakes!!!!

    4. I don't like heigths much, but want to see me really freak, have a child get too close to the edge.
    ( balcony, windows, etc.)
    5. I am very into details....you can't get much by me. :-)
    ( My mom says I'm noisey)
