in Chit-Chat
Write 10 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. This came from facebook, where the idea was, then you would tag ten people that also did this, but I am sure I can just post and the rest of you can take it from there! Very fun way to learn things about others!

1. I still have a handful of friends from grade school that I talk to on a regular basis.


2. I am Pro Choice, Anti Capital Punishment, Pro Gay Marriage and Anti Marijuana Prohibition.


3. My favorite holiday is Easter, by far.

4. I am Catholic, and though I don’t believe in all their views (see above, LOL), I am a firm believer of their teachings, and am not afraid to witness Jesus, no matter what kind of company I am in.

5. When I was young (16-22) I LIVED at the bars, going out six nights a week for many years……now I go out twice a year, on average….

6. I love playing cards, esp Rummoli, Poker and Euchre

7. My favorite movie is Monster, my favorite TV show is Queer As Folk, and my favorite singer is Buju Banton

8. In the last few years, I have lost about four toxic friendships, and my life is so much more peaceful for it.

9. I smoked cigarettes for over ten years, I have also quit for about 15 years now, and think smoking is gross, I even have a hard time being around it, not to mention horribly bad for your health and wallet.

10. I have severe OCD....not like when people say "Oh, I am so OCD"....I mean ACTUAL clinlical OCD, and it comes with TONS of phobias....the oddest ones I have are fish, raw wood and driving......


Ok, your turn!

    Oh sounds like bored fun! :D

    1. I went to a college that was everything that I never wanted in a college and so much more! (I was looking at colleges with less than 500 students, preferably 250 students and ended up at a huge university. I didn't want the college to have any frats or sororities.)

    2. I tried to join a sorority but didn't get past the first day of Rushing (no one liked me but I didn't like them either). I ended up joining a co-ed service fraternity, Greek only by name, Alpha Phi Omega, and ended up being secretary and Vice President.

    3. I'm all for Capital Punishment, especially when it comes to murderers, sex offenders, animal abusers, and anything to do with hurting children.

    4. I went to college for Environmental Studies but didn't know anything about hiking and hated getting dirty. Now, I love going for hikes in the woods and love digging through the dirt for worms for my compost bin.

    5. I have "only" my senior undergrad thesis to write and then I'll have my Bachelor's of Science in Environmental Studies.

    6. I have nightmares almost every night. One reoccurring one is that I'm in a big aquarium and all of a sudden all the glass tanks break and there is broken glass and water everywhere!

    7. I use to be able to eat whatever I wanted and lost weight! I could eat 6 doughnuts at a time and not gain a pound! It caught up to me though. :\

    8. Zoos make me cry. I hate seeing the animals walking around in circles. They look so miserable!

    9. I'm going through a tri-life crisis. I realized I want to become a vet technician and I'm currently going to online school to become certified. I also want to become NDART certified so that I can travel the country, saving animals after disasters and maybe be an animal cop!

    10. I love pit bulls and hate discrimination--whether it's people or animals. I hate hate!
