Silly long survey
10 things you might not know about me:
1. My favorite color is silvery-blue. And Jay is very bitter that he has to recognize silvery-blue as a color.
2. I was so ambitious as a child, and convinced I was either going to be a famous actress or an Olympic winner in gymnastics. My family still asks if I'm a famous actress yet.
3. I once had a doll named Snoxenation. I have no idea where I came up with that.
4. I don't care how good they are for me, sometimes no one and nothing can make me eat my vegetables
5. I have a little African violet at my desk at work. I bought it my first day out of training.
6. Boring as it was, I kind of miss my receptionist job. Lots more freedom and relaxation
7. I learned today that you should be very careful when cutting a salad when it's sitting in a styrofoam dish. I just cleaned a lot of vinegar off my desk.
8. Having found out how many points Mozzarella sticks are, (at least 21, possibly more) I'm not eating those anymore!
9. I'm getting really nervous about applying to grad school.
10. It's only 4:35, but I think I'm leaving really, really soon. Like, any minute.
9 places I've visited:
1. Paris (France, not Texas)
2. Arizona-- Tuscon, and the Grand Canyon
3. Niagara Falls, both NY and Canada side
4. Disney World
5. Disney Land
6. San Francisco
7. Bar Harbor, ME
8. Michigan
9. New Jersey--whereever 6 Flags is.
8 things I want to do before I die:
1. Learn as many languages as my brain can hold
2. Travel everywhere-- including Egypt, India, Morocco and all those interesting and life-threatening Middle Eastern areas.
3. Get my PhD-- but then, I should be accomplishing that within the next decade...
4. Get Published-- preferably in the form of a huge series of novels involving some big legendary idea.
5. Go Para-sailing
6. Become a grandmother-- which also involved, getting married and having kids. I'm thinking long term here
7. Get a job that I really enjoy--where I don't want to leave early!
7 ways to win my heart:
1. Be Jay (awww...gag!)
2. Recognize the color silvery-blue
3. Accept, and learn to love, my stupid little quirks.
4. Surprise me
5. Love me, love my family.
6. Respect my stuffed bunny.
7. Call just to tell me you love me.
6 things I’m afraid of:
1. The dark
2. Not getting into a good graduate program-- or any, for that matter.
3. Losing friends
4. A loved one dying
5. Bugs-- not in a screechy way, but they skeeve me out
6. Failure
5 things I don't like:
1. Sticky!!!!!
2. Lack of support by my supervisors
3. People who can't finish a sentence with out saying "um" every 3 seconds
4. Staying late while other people leave early
5. People talking really loudly while you're on the phone
4 ways to turn me off:
1. Being so uncertain of your own sexuality that you have to prove it to yourself by being overly macho
2. Assuming you know more than I do about everything
3. Expecting me to take the traditional female role-- cooking, cleaning, bringing you a beer while you relax in front of the TV. If I do any of the above, it's because you do the same for me. But damned if I'll be the stereotypical stay-at-home, soccer practice driving Stepford Wife-- it's great if a woman makes that choice for herself, but it won't be my choice.
4. Refusing to talk to me about issues, concerns, etc.
**None of the above is about Jay. I was thinking about the anti-Jay**
3 things I do everyday:
1. Step over the pile of crap in my room-- laundry tonight though!
2. Tell Jay I love him
3. Count my points
2 things I am trying not to do:
1. Get too far behind in work
2. Eat over my points
1 thing on my mind right now:
1. I wonder if I can leave work now-- a couple other people left already...Yeah, I'm so out of here!
Wow, this was a weirdly Jay-love and points obsessed entry. Oh well, both good things.
