    Fact 14: I Love Memes
    3 pathogens detected
    Phantom says she's the "last English-speaking blogger in the world to do this meme". Yet another way I know that she doesn't read MY blog! :)

    Accent: A tasteful blend of Valley Girl (totally!) what my audiologist friend calls "the Inland Northwest accent". I don't know what that one is, though.

    Booze: Hmm, my tastes vary from day to day, though in my old age I have turned pretty girly. Rum and coke, martinis (regular and most any variation), frou-frou blended things, Bailey's, and some beers (Fat Tire and Jeremiah Red come to mind). Oh, and Ace hard pear cider, though hard apple cider gives me a stomach ache.

    Chore I hate: Dishes. But I do them anyway.

    Dog or cat: Both. I love dogs for playing and cats for cuddling. Non-cuddly cats are pretty useless to me, though.

    Essential electronics: cell phone, laptop.

    Favorite cologne(s): There was this one called Raw Vanilla that I used to like. Matt wears none, and I like him, so it is not that important to me.

    Gold or silver: My wedding set and cross are both white gold. I love the color of a clean, shiny chestnut horse though, which can be a dark gold color.

    Hometown: Los Angeles, CA

    Insomnia: Fairly frequently. The blend of being a very light sleeper and having an anxiety disorder make this fun for me.

    Job title: Wife, cashier, bather, vet assistant, student

    Kids: Ambivalent.

    Living arrangements: Two bedroom apartment with 1 husband, 2 snakes, 2 goldfish, and no plants.

    Most admirable trait: I am open to changing my opinion, and don't usually judge people.

    Number of sexual partners: One!

    Overnight hospital stays: A bunch when I was a premie, one when I had a head injury 3 years ago.

    Phobias: All of 'em. Heights, enclosed spaces, bugs (every kind), pain, the dark, being alone, being with too many people, fires, looking stupid.

    Quote: "A true friend stabs you in the front." -Oscar Wilde
    Also, the "Love your flesh" passage in Toni Morrison's Beloved

    Religion: Christian, attepting to be.

    Siblings: One older sister, one twin brother.

    Time I wake up: As early as 7:30, as late as 10:30.

    Unusual talent or skill: None of which I'm aware.

    Vegetable I refuse to eat: No veggies, but I hate beans.

    Worst habit: Self-deprecation and chewing myself (nails, cuticles, inside of mouth, etc.)

    X-rays: Many. Thousands. Most recently for the toothpick incident, though they unsurprisingly found nothing (toothpicks are NOT radio-opaque, people!)

    Yummy foods I make: Kugel (delicious). Spicy Pumpkin Curry Soup. Bread. Cakes. Lasagna. Tuna salad. Pimiento Cheese Spread. Guacamole. I love to cook!

    Zodiac sign: Leo. I think that's why I seek attention.
