List things most people probably don’t know about you

• I’m into BDSM.  And I’m submissive.

• I’m a virgin.
• I play the violin.
• I’ve never had a real-time boyfriend.
• Yes, my hair is naturally this dark.  I always get asked if I dye it…
• I’m a liberal and an atheist.
• I have really wide feet.  They look normal, I swear.  But I wear a 9 1/2 EE.  Double wide, lol.
• I’m a sucker for roses, as long as they’re not red.
• I still cut my sandwiches down the middle and i don’t eat the crust.
• I secretly love things being organized, even though my room is always a mess.
  
• I’m technically bisexual.  But I’ve never thought of it that way.  I’m just very open-minded.  A person’s a person’s a person.
• I’ve been arrested.
• I cannot do a handstand, force myself to burp, or do that weird double-jointed finger thing.
• I still cannot manage to fall asleep easily on Christmas Eve.
• I played fast-pitch softball for 13 years.
• I like to dance.  I actually love to dance.  I just don’t always like to do it in front of people.  :)
• I love making lists.
• I’m an atheist.
• Contrary to popular belief, I am not a pessimist.  I am, however, a realist.

Spent the last four days up at the cabin with my family.  It was…up and down.  It seemed that every time I was having a really good time, they always had to bust out the storm clouds and rain on my parade.  But…the new ATV is freaking awesome. Even in freezing cold weather, with about an inch of ice under a couple inches of snow between the tires and the gravel.  Still fun.  Can’t wait to try it when the snow is gone.  And despite my parents, the cabin is an incredibly relaxing, refreshing, invigorating place…Plus, I had a really fun time with my brother.  I’m going to miss him when I go back to school.  Anywayyyy…I really must go get dressed and straighten my hair.  I have to play hostess for my parents friends and then I’m stopping by Taylor K’s for a bit with Sam.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, darlings!  Make smart choices.  Start the new year off right :D (Unlike that guy.)

List the pets you’ve had and their names

In semi-chronological order, lol…

• Gordon (AKA “Gordie”) – Little blue budgie.  Named after Gordon, the cranky tank from Thomas the Tank Engine.  When he died, I was five years old and I learned the meaning of “mourning”.  Literally.  I was confused as hell when my dad came in from work and my mom told him we were in morning.  I was like…”It is clearly five o’clock at night.”  :/  Little did I know…
• Leap and Lizard – Oh, ho, ho.  Weren’t we creative?  Get it?  Leapin’ lizards!  These guys were little anoles.  A variety of lizard, similar to chameleons.  They could change from brown to green and back again.
• Todd and Sarah – My first set of mice that my friend Kristie gave to me when she moved away to Arizona or Alabama or one of those “A” states.  My dad convinced me to set Sarah free after Todd died.  It took me a few years to figure out that she was probably promptly eaten by a predator.  She was albino and captive-bred.  My dad’s a jerk.  He never did like the mice.
