YET ANOTHER meme courtesy of [info]fadingembers

THE PEOPLE'S FIST!
20 random facts about me.

1. My main form of exercise is playing Dance Dance Revolution. I have DDR Max2 and DDR Extreme for PS2. I prefer Max2, to be honest.

2. I named my daughter after a person in a book an OB/GYN NP wrote about four patients of hers. One of them, Lila, was a fifteen year old pregnant drug addict. She managed to straighten up her life, with her daughter as her motivation. I added the "h" at the end as a nod-and-<3 to [info]jennyo.

3. I am kind of creeped out by the fact that Charmmy Kitty, a feline, is the pet of Hello Kitty, also a feline. Does this mean I can declare [info]osl a pet, and have him fixed as any responsible pet owner would do?

4. Meej noticed I have an attraction to fictional jerks. Looking back, I notice that this applies in real life, as well. Gee.

5. I think I would actually enjoy living in Elko. Seriously. I bet it will be experiencing a huge growth spurt sometime soon, and would like to get in while property is still cheap. Hint hint.

6. My right boob is noticeably larger than my left, unless I happen to have nursed the right and the left is engorged. Then they're pretty even.

7. I will be 30 in four years and four days.

8. I am currently on Phase One of the South Beach Diet.

9. Eggs make me fart uncontrollably.

10. I have only run over one animal in the entire time I've been driving. It was a raccoon. Clumps of fur were still stuck to the undercarriage of the car a year later.

11. Being a mom has actually made me very supportive of the non-crazy child-free crowd. Being a parent is TOUGH, and people should only do it if they really, really want to. It's a permanant position. Even if you kill your kids, you're still a parent - you just happen to be a scumbag parent who killed their kids. I applaud those who realize that they're just not made that way.

12. I have memorized both The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and Finding Nemo. Guess why.

13. I HATE discussing politics. That said, I am politically a Libertarian, but tend to vote Republican as the lesser of two evils. That is all I will publicly state on the matter.

14. I also hate discussing religious matters with anyone I am not very VERY close to. However, for the purposes of this list: I seem to align perfectly with mainline to liberal Christian Protestants (according to SelectSmart - http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/LC.html).

15. Dear GOD I want ice cream. The Fudgecicles are diet-legal, but... I don't want to share with Lilah. SADFACE. I'm eating almonds instead.

16. I have no urge whatsoever to be famous. Being rich would mean a whole new host of problems, but... I think I'd rather handle those.

17. I have a terrible fear of drains. Pipes and exposed ductwork also gives me the creeping horrors.

18. I am currently reading two books: Dead Lines by Greg Bear and A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick. Bear is for the middle of the night nursing, Dick is for relaxing during the evenings (HA).

19. I scored a perfect on "Let's Groove" on DDR Max2. Sadly, this was in Workout Mode, so it doesn't count WAAAAAH I HAVE NO PROOF.

20. My middle name came from a character in "Soap". I just found this out a few days ago.

That took longer than expected, but I am trying to keep an eye on Lilah and watch Trey while doing this. He's sleeping on his tummy (he just refused to fall asleep in any other position), and while he is capable of lifting his head and rolling over... well, I'm just cautious.

Elko.
 
O_o;

...well, my mother was from there, so maybe that's why. They have a Wal-mart. Woo.

(sorry, too many boring/miserable memories of having to drive there every summer as per a "summer vacation".)

ARGH I WANT ICE CREAM, TOO.

And I love you, by the way, for supporting us childfrees. *HUGS* I know meself that I'd make a horrid, horrid mother (thank you for not being a sucky parent, by the way, too), but most people don't seem to understand this. *HUGS AGAIN*

The Wal*Mart, BTW, is now a super-Wal*Mart, which is fixin' to put Smith's, Albertson's, and Raley's out of business.

Which is (I know I'm not supposed to say this), fine by me, because it's a lot cheaper than they are.

I actually like Elko, weirdly enough. :)

Really? Suppose it says something when I don't know that. Namely, that I haven't been there in a while.

Eh, I have little problem with Wal-Mart when it comes to price, just the whole BC pill/pharmacist thing tends to get up on me, tis all. Each to his own and all that. :)

Elko is...well, it's there. To me. It's where my grandfather used to live and yeah. If you don't mind me asking, what about it do you like?

I don't mind at all. Probably the first thing you need to know is that I'm a Californian, which is to say that everyone and their senator is constantly in your business, telling you precisely what you can and can't do. And while some people love this (yes, I'm looking at you, [info]jennyo ;)), I don't. I love the high desert like some people love the forest, I love how the people are genuine (genuinely nice, or genuine assholes) rather than everpresent blonde fakeness. I love the low taxes, I love the business-friendly environment.

I love the wide-open spaces, I love the sunsets. I love how it smells. I love living somewhere where you can't see another house if you tried.

I love shooting and off-roading and hunting. I love fishing and camping. I love bars that stay open to '?'. I love the 'Dancing and Diddling' sign over the brothel, even if I've never stepped in; I love the 75mph speed limit. I love that people don't have to be cool and snarky and ironic and hiply progressive as a social pose.

I just love Elko, I guess.

Well, I'm not up to speed on Californian politics, but I'd have to agree there that Elko is rather business-friendly. Build a warehouse and you'l make millions, it seems. I seem to be a city girl, so eh. Ignore me on the subject. :)

I love bars that stay open to '?'.

XD

That's...a really, really pretty way to put it, actually. *hugs* Now I feel all proud to be Nevadan and stuff, aw. If you like it that much, then, more power to you if you choose to move there. Just be sure to keep any house critters inside, or the coyotes might get 'em. :)

Now I'm trying to guess if your middle name is Jessica or Mary... ooh, maybe Corinne.

My initials are CCK. ^_^

You're not that old. Did you Google it, or are you a fan of olde skool TV?

I have the first season on DVD! Trying to get the others, but alas I am broke.

Funny, I hit a raccoon last night.
