100 things about me (give or take)

I have seen people do this and since I am working another midnight I figured why not!!

1. I was born in Bathurst New Brunswick on July 21

2. I have been working shift work for 2 years now and absolutly hate it. If I sleep during the day I get a horrible headache and then somewhere between 4 and 6 am I always feel like I am going to throw up.

3. We have been trying for 3 years now to have a baby.

4. We have 2 dogs - Daisy and Zac

5. I hate watching sports on tv but will attempt to play any of them. I say attempt because I am not good at sports but will play for the fun of it.

6. I have only been without a dog for 6 months of my life that I can remember and don't wish to have a life without that companionship.

7. I hate that my dad drinks so much and wish he knew what a great guy he is when he is sober.

8. My mother constantly repeats herself and it drives me crazy. She also tells me things about people that I don't know or care about then she tries to tell me that I know them but she never seems to tell me things about people I do know or care about.

9. My largest pet peeve is people trying or thinking that they should be involved in decisions you make with your loved one that really has nothing to do with them.

10. I am a loner which is both good and bad especially since my hubby is military. The bad part is having few friends to rely on when Brian is away. The good part is thatI can't stand the actions and mentality of other military wifes. Though I do miss not having a best friend.

11. I think I am pretty easy going (until you piss me off or break my trust, that is)

12. I hate boats, airplanes, water and flying. I know that travelling via vehicle isn't as safe but I much prefer being on the ground. Train travel is my favorite.

13. I never have touched hard drugs.

14. I am severly hard on myself.

15. I do not trust easily

16. I generally don't care what people think about me.

17. I would love to get contact lenses implanted in my eyes so I don't have to wear glasses anymore (I can no longer wear contacts)

18. I don't have a lucky number but I love the number 13 (mainily because of how people react to friday the 13th)

19. If I could work from home I would but even more than that If I could make a living staying home and knitting I think I would be in heaven.

20. I can't figure out why people who know me well still give me chatchkys because I just put them in a yardsale or the garbage. The same is true of pink - I absolutly hate pink!

21. I battle depression and it frustrates me that people think you should just be able to snap out of it. We have traced it back to beginning very early in life but we have never discovered exaclty when it started.

22. I have a very hard time respecting people who think they are superior and also people who are not opened to suggestions.

23. If I had to choose a season to live in for the rest of my life it would be fall. with a temperature between 15 and 20 degrees and cooler at night because I love to wear sweaters.

24. my hair is my real color but I have dyed it a couple of times.

25. The first cassette tape I ever bought was Duran Duran.

26. I have had a threewheeler accident, a skidoo accident and extremly minor car accident, I also hurt my back when I was 26. The first caused me to have knee surgery, the second caused a seperated shoulder. the car accident caused nothing and my back injury caused me to be home for 5 weeks and perminant damage but I am ok.

27. the sound of Daisy crying drives me batty

28. I miss Brian when he isn't with me and although I respect his job and wish I could do it too it scares the hell out of me that he is in danger.

29. I really wish I was a minimalist but I would go crazy without my yarn stash.

30. the smell of body odor drives me crazy and I don't understand why it is so hard for people can't or don't use deoderant

31. my dreams are usually the kind I would rather not remember. Occassionally they are funny, like the first time Brian went overseas, I had this dream that he met an Afghani woman and decided that he wanted to stay with her even though he didn't even know what she looked like because she wore a burkah, so I had to pack up his dog(daisy) and ship her over to him. I was mad at him for days after that dream.

32. I will drink coffee occasionally but don't really like it but I love coffee ice cream and coffee frozen yogurt.

33. Marriage was never important to me but I so want to marry Brian. I guess what they say is true. When you meet the right one you will know. I am not sure who they is but it's true. Having said that I am not sure I would feel that way if we dadn't want to have kids. I absolutly do not want to have a differnt last name then my kid.

34. When I was little I never imagined myself as a mom but I always wanted to be a grandmother.

35. I have felt guilty for a very long time that I was very angry with my grandmother when she died. I was angry that she left me here without her. Then years later my other grandmother died and I still fell totally abandoned

36. People sometimes refer to me as bitchy but when they get to know me it they realize it is cautiousness and shyness.

37. I am an emotional person who is sensative. I really hate this about myself

38. 99% of the time I change my clothes as soon as I get home and put on flannel pj pants and a t-shirt. If I don't Brian has been known to ask what the special occasion is.

39. I watch far to much TV but actually I mainly only listen to it and sometimes not even that. I just like haveing a conversation in the background.

43. I would love to go back to school but it is way way way to expensive.

44. I have a brother but really want nothing to do with him and hate that my parents keep pushing me to ahve a relationship with him because if I wanted one I would try

45. I have very wierd views of religion. I don't believe in organized religion I think it is just a money grab. I also don't believe that what is written in the babile happened. I think it was more stories that were told as teachings than actual events.

49. I so would love to travel to other countries but as stated earlier I hate boats and airplanes

50. I get terrible headaches that last for days at a time and happen often and hate being around fluorescent lighting when I have one because it feels like my eyes are being hauled out of my head.

51. I am very curious. I love to ask questions but I rarely ever do for fear of hurting people's feelings. But I want to know wierd things. Like what it is like to have an artificial limb and how they work or how little people or people in wheel chairs manage to do things. I do tend to stare at people who are different but is is just because I what to know stuff.

52. I love the fact that I was named after someone and the bond made me have between my grandparents and me but I hate that noone else my age has my name. I also hate my middle name and only ever use my inital excet when I absolutly have to use the whole thing. My parents swear they never used drugs but I think they must have when they thought up my name.

53. I am lactose intollerant but I love milk and drink it anyway even though the after effects are painful.

54. we never had cable when I grew up and I think I was around 5 or 6 when we got our first color TV.

57. I wear a puzzle ring that Brian got me as well as my grandmothers family ring and my highschool ring. My only other jewlery is my medic alert necklace.

58. I enjoy working more with men then women for the simple reason that I have had to many bad experiences with back stabbing and catyness by girls. I am usually the one that gets blamed andin trouble for stuff that others do.

59. I wish I was more active but everything I like to do is so stationary

60. I am not sure how old I was but my brother pushed me off a stool and my head hit the baseboard heater. I had to get 6 stitches in the back of my head. The Dr didn't cut one of te threads so on my first day back at school my cousin say the black thread in my blonde hair and she pulled it.

61. Brian is a horrible snorer. One time he was very tired and he was laying on his back snoring and he woke me up (it was that bad) so I shoved him and told him to roll over. he did roll over but he rolled the wrong way and rolled onto me and had his face right beside my ear and started to snore immediatly.

63. I hate snakes but spiders are my thing that drives me insane

64. I love to buy knitting magazines

65. I hate people who abuse or neglect animals

66. I love all dogs but don't trust German Shepards

67. I am very much a tomboy and can't believe people waste money on macicures and so on.

68. I am very very ticklish and my feet are definalty the worst spot.

69. I would love to remember to take pictures. I either don't remember to take the camera with me or if I take it with me I never remember to actually take it out and turn it on. Having said that It frustrates me that people give you these large pictures of their kids, anything bigger than a 4x6 is crazy.

70. I hate Starbucks and Tim Hortons. Starbucks is way way way overpriced and Tim Hortons has very terrible service

71. When I first met Brian I said some really crazy things to him so he wouldn't be interested but I guess it backfired because he is still here

72. I can't sing and don't attempt to unless I am alone in the car

73. I try very very hard not to be late. I am usually 15 mins early for everything

74. Brian is a big procrastinator and it drives me insane.

75. I hate doing housework but if I am going to do it I like to do it early in the day and get it overwith so the rest of the day is free to do other things and Brian is the exact opposite.

76. I am an extremely light sleeper and I am very jealous that Brian can sleep through anything

77. When Brian is away or getting ready to go away I near go crazy with worry and fear. Then when he is gone I feel more alone than I have ever felt.

78. It is really crazy that right before Brian comes home (like now) I alway get nervous that he will decide he doesn't want to be with me any more or that he will be mad at something I have done while he was away.

79. even though Brian is french and I need to improve my french we never speak french together

80. I am crazy parinoid about our well running dry and hate it when someone stays at
our house and just takes over and waists water.

81. I would love to be back in High School but would want Brian to be with me.

82. I would love to win the lottery but not to much. Just enough to pay everything off and renovate the house and not have to work.

83.I would love to live on an island (just me and the Brian and the dogs) and we could live off the island and not have to have to rely on anyone or have to have contact with anyone else unless we wanted to.

84. I hate cooking for 1

85. It drives me crazy that when Brian is away and he asks how Daisy is and if she has been behaving the very next day after he asks she then does something bad.

86. After living alone for so long it is funny how quickly you start to rely on the person you become involved with

87. It drives me nuts that if you tell someone something and you have the experience to back up the knowledge why is it that they don't believe you but they believe someone who is basically just guessing.



Well I have managed to come up with 87 which is more than I thought I would. Maybe I will think of 13 more sometime so I can finish the list.
