I have about 50 million other things I should be doing, but I am being lazy on a Friday afternoon, so I will post on the Blogs theme. I will finish all the tasks starting with the fun ones (making plans, finishing edits to some stuff I'm writing, etc.) as it's just that kind of day.
1. I was born left-handed, but my mother "switched" me. I write with my right hand but do everything else with the left.
2. I am compulsively tardy. I hope most people accept this in me as a genuine character flaw, and I am working on getting rid of it. "Always late, but worth the wait." :/
3. I am a lifelong Democrat but a true moderate one. Socially, I am very liberal, but in other ways I am not.
4. I am interested in the paranormal.
5. I have studied astrology since my teenage years and found it helped my life when nothing else really could. I would do it as a career if it paid better.
6. I will be age 30 in less than a month.
7. I did not think I would make it to age 30 because I've pulled a lot of stupid crap in my 29 years. I am now hopeful I will, and I'll be proud.
8. I still get carded for clove cigarettes, so the above is not as bad.
9. I do not approve of the way my elected officials are doing their jobs for the most part.
10. I have to stay away from online Scrabble games, but will play IRL with the brave.
11. I was born in New Orleans and hope to return someday.
12. I am an avid reader, since age 30 months. My parents found this out when I read them the credits on Dallas one evening. My dad tells the story better than I do.
13. My dad is my best friend and several BLers have met him.
14. I've spent most of my adult life working for attorneys, but never want or expect to become one myself. The people in my life are cautionary tales in some senses.
15. Relating back to the paranormal... lightbulbs blow out around me with a frequency that has got to be beyond coincidence. This only happens when I am mad or thinking about something very hard.
16. I have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol but have never been addicted to anything else.
17. My unhealthy relationship with alcohol has caused me a lot of consternation and I look forward to the day when a drink isn't how I want to be welcomed home after a long day.
18. I actually enjoy hanging out in airports on layovers. Usually I wind up having a drink with someone(s) interesting - not creepy guys, but cool people tend to approach me.
19. Creepy people also approach me sometimes. I have decent "radar" for that but it can falter occasionally.
20. Once I've figured out someone is a creeper, I cut them off. Period.
21. If I am mad at you but still like you, I will be likely to bitch at you and you have the right to bitch at me just the same. If I am mad at you but I don't like you, I will freeze you out completely.
22. I like smelling good. I wish I were more creative and could concoct perfumes myself.
23. I, unlike others who have answered this (lol), don't walk around the house naked and have clothes on unless I'm, um, being intimate with someone or showering. I guess I just feel best in comfortable clothes. I sleep with at least a T-shirt and underwear when it's hot.
24. I dream of having my own company someday which has as its goal truly helping women and children in need - but I can't talk about that now
25. I'm really not as much of a bitch as a lot of people think I am. I can get fiery and hotheaded but somehow I'm right quite often. When I'm wrong, call me out privately and I'll respond.
~end of survey~
I could have filled this out with a lot more, but I'm learning that it's best to keep many things to myself/trusted friends, and this is a public Blog.
Cheers - hey mods, what's the next theme? :D
