25 More Things About Me
  1. I don't like mean people. If you are mean to me, or anybody I love, there's a WALL. I love this quote  by Mr. Darcy: "Maybe it's that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever." 
  2. I used to weigh 75 pounds more than I do now. I hate exercise but I do it anyway.
  3. I cry when I am angry. I cry when I am hurt. I cry when I am happy, too.
  4. I am afraid of riding horses. I have been bucked off nearly every time I have ridden.
  5. I have driven a semi truck 65 MPH for about 20 minutes, illegally. Don't ask me about it, I'll deny it.
  6. I am terrified of having dental work done. I have to have a sedative. The last time I tried it without, I went into shock. The dental assistant stopped working on me because my body was shaking so badly. She covered me in blankets until I stopped crying (see #3).
  7. I love all dogs. I love my dogs. All dogs should be indoor pets.
  8. I want to ride in a hot air balloon over Norway while eating cheesecake and drinking sparkling grape juice.
  9. I hate the cold and snow. I want to live someplace where it's always warm.
  10. I don't drink or smoke and I won't ever have a tattoo. That doesn't mean I can't appreciate your tattoo. I like an occasional Dr. Pepper.
  11. In reference to THE COLOR CODE http://www.colorcode.com/ my personality is WHITE. I just want peace, baby, peace. But I can morph into YELLOW and RED and BLUE.
  12. I know my faults and limitations very well. I remind myself of them constantly in my head. I get defensive if they are pointed out to me.
  13. I am terrified of deep water.
  14. I am skeptical and not very trusting. I already know what I want and need, so you are just wasting your time if you think you are going to sell me something.
  15. Music moves me in ways I cannot describe.
  16. I love cheesecake. Cheesecake is like everything wonderful and spectacular in this life all rolled up into a spring-form pan. I would eat it for every meal, all day, every day, if it was nutritious. (Like if it were broccoli.) I love cheesecake more than chocolate, ice cream, and pizza.
  17. I love Star Trek. Anything. Stop laughing.
  18. I am about as unorganized a person as there ever was.
  19. Please don't ask me to look at what is under your bandage, or peer down your throat to see if you have any white spots. Never ask me to pop your zit. And I don't want to touch your feet. Don't come to me if you need a sliver removed, or if your contact is lost in the back of your eyeball. I don't want to see anything on the inside.
  20. My ex-husband told me I look like a man without make-up. After all this time I still have a complex about that, so you will probably never see me with a bare face.
  21. When I am hanging up clothing while doing laundry, I always grab exactly the amount of hangers from the closet, without counting them. Just a gift, I guess.
  22. I...love technology and gadgets.
  23. I believe an electromagnetic pulse attack might be possible.
  24. I have strong political opinions but I hate HATE HATE discussing politics. You think what you want to about whatever you want ~ but leave me out of it.
  25. I am left handed.
