and also because i haven’t posted in forever and need to make a note on my computer desk to do this more often…
25 Random Things (about me…duh!)
1. i can’t snap, and only in the last two years have been able to wink
with my left eye ( before that, it was all right eye, baby!)
2. i live with many plants- too many some might say… i say never enough!
3. i wish every day i had a real garden of my own
4. i have found many of the things teachers have said to me over the
years are true indeed- yes, the trees do speak to me, and i love it!
5. i miss so much having a cat in my life
6. the first animal to ‘pick’ me was pokey- we communicated in a way
that still amazes me to this day. with a glance or small action, i knew
what she wanted (i was trained by the cat:). and she told me before she
died.
7. i could not live without the mountains, ocean and forest.
8. i have an over abundance of random information stored in my head and
get silly excited when i learn something new… just ask about the
sperm whales!!
9. i have a bear. his name is taddy (because i couldn’t say ‘teddy’
when i first met him). and he has slept with me since before i remember
and this is accepted by dave. taddy’s head almost fell off once and my
mom sewed it back on with dental floss. it has remained securely in
place since. taddy goes with me on long trips and has a big scar on the
right side of his tummy
10. i love malt vinegar. i’m quite certain it is genetic
11. i have been playing ‘gold rush’ scratch and wins since my grandpa
used to buy them for me and my bro when we were little, from the
lottery kiosk at evergreen mall. the most i’ve ever won is $10
12. we used to go for walks in the rain at night with no shoes across cloverdale
13. tornado was the first brand of beer i every really drank (read: got drunk on)
14. my favorite book is ‘lost souls’ by poppy z. brite
15. i like cow. i don’t eat cow because cow dislikes me
16.once upon a time, not that long ago, the ocean sang for me on a warm
rainy night and gave me a giant sunflower that lasted for three weeks.
17. i love feeding the birds. i am also easily hypnotized by green moss- i can’t explain it.
18. my favorite meal is chips, peas, steak, cooked onion, an egg and a
slice of buttered bread cooked for me by my grandma and thoroughly
dosed in malt vinegar.
19. i stopped evolving at SNES
20. am fascinated by insects, plant physiology and mushrooms
21. i’m sure i’ll never really grow up, and i am very kewl with this
22. i am addicted to pillows- many live with me
23. i recently came to understand how awe can be inspired by a catholic cathedral (one dedicated to a woman no less!)
24. i feel most comfortable and at home on galiano island
25. i do actually like the rain- still
and as a bonus:
i have recently come to realize my appreciation for absence- or the beauty of negative spaces.
