D'OH!

I meant to say...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, THIS2SHALLPASS19!

And Happy Birthday to you too in March. :)

Sorry about that. I need sleep or a new brain. Or both.

1. I tend not to read things thoroughly.

2. I tend not to check my facts before posting simple discussion posts.

3. I often say Happy Birthday to people whose birthday is not for several months.

4. I need those progressive glasses more than I thought I did.

5. I DO read my comment from people here at VP!

It's good for now but I have a feeling when I reach a certain age it's all gonna come back to haunt me  lol

1. I am now 30 and it isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be

2. I think everyone should do something nice for someone, anyone, once a day.  A total random act of kindness.

3. People with no common courtesy are my biggest pet peeves.  If I hold the door open for you, say THANK YOU!!

4. I have the hardest time deciding on something at a restaurant.  I usually narrow it down to like 3 things and just can't decide.  That's usually when my husband says, you get this and I'll get that, and we'll share.  I knew I married him for a reason!

5. I LOVE to play games and I married a non-game player.  Sucks for me.

1. I almost didn't marry my husband because he and his family hunted deer. I didn't think I could handle being married to a man whose belief system was opposite of mine. But I did and we are still going 25 years later even though every November, the air gets chilly and not from the weather!

2. I hoard straws. I hate to use straws that I get from fast food places so I will use the same one a couple of times before breaking open a new one. I don't have any idea why I am a straw hoarder. It's very strange.

3. I can't spell maintenance right. EVER. (I spell checked it and fixed it here.)

4. I haven't had a glass of milk since I was pregnant the last time - 19 years ago.

5. I'm cold 98% of the time. Even in the summer. The other 2% of the time, I'm way too hot. I don't think I have been at a  comfortable temperature ever!

I've met very few deer hunters who actually hunt purely for meat. It's all about the antlers. In Texas it's a total blood sport and involves lots of beer and reckless behavior. Seeing the habits of our deer hunters here makes me ashamed to live amongst them.

On our acreage in the country we feed the deer year round and there are frequently several large bucks grazing in our front yard in the evenings. I've flat out told the neighbors that if they shoot a deer on our property I will return fire.

 I mean it, and they know I mean it.

Keep the chill going, Patty.  (I can't believe they show hunting on TV!)

5 thinks about me

1 ) I have a unicorn tatoo

2) I have 3 sisters and 4 brothers

3.)i enjoy scrapbooking and crafts

4)i enjoy playing sims

5) I love hanging out with family and friends

More stuff....

1. I'm finding that adapting a short story I wrote to screenplay form is not as easy as I thought.

2. I've wanted to be a writer since I was very young.

3. I am much better at Language Arts, Social Studies and Humanities courses  than I am at Science and Mathematics.

4. I bought Joseph Heller's Catch-22 in 1983 and have never finished it.

5. I have Homer's The Illiad and The Odyssey in Spanish and I have finished them.

I mistakenly turn the channel to hunting sometimes and almost throw up. Ugh. My husband eats all the meat (I do NOT) and he hasn't gotten a deer in ages. I think he goes more now for the solitude and the picture taking. We have no antlers in this house and never will. I mean, really! Don't get me started, I'll get mad at him as he is sitting here contentedly watching baseball.

I better add to this now.

1. I was a member of MENSA and didn't enjoy the meetings at all. I found them self righteous and boring.

2. I write under a male name in a wrestling magazine that I can't name. No one knows it is me and I get no real byline. I do get paid though and my articles are shoot, not worked. That is, I write real stuff not storyline themed articles or interviews. When I see people on the net talking about a story they read by XXX, I smile because they have no idea that is little ole me.

3. I once bought a laptop from a friend who said he bought it from someone else. I quickly realized from the info on it that the person either didn't care that all of his personal info was on the laptop he sold or...he didn't really sell it. I called him and it turned out it was stolen. I returned the laptop to him and refused the award money he offered me. I am not friends with the guy who sold me the laptop any longer.

4. I lust Blow Pops. I absolutely love getting to the middle and getting the gum.

5. I am a chronic procrastinator. I'll tell you why later. ;)

Procrastination is my friend, too! ;o)

1. I LOVE making my own Halloween costume, opposed to buying one. It migt be because of my make-up FX background! I LOVE getting to do character make-up in my costume design, especially if I get to use prosthetics!

2. I can't stand heat! When it's over 89 degrees, it's too hot for me!

3. Sour Patch Kids are a weakness of mine!

4. My favorite toon is Garfield! Why don't they play Charlie Brown and Garfield together any more like they use to?

5. I lke to do the most amount of house cleaning with the least amount of elbow grease!

#5-- Me too.  I have 21 years in at LSU, in the same department/college.  I just got called for a 2nd interview today though, so I may be changing jobs :)  Kinda exciting but then again scary!

Here are mine:

1. I used to chase the housekeeper with creepy crawlers when I was a kid.

2. I loved riding go carts.

3.  Loved riding motorcycles--dirt bikes.

4.  Love racing (my dad raced dirt track)--always wanted to drive in the Powderpuff one day.

5.  After living in the city for most of my life, we finally moved back to the country last year.  My husband and I both grew up in the county so we feel at home now.
