10 Things About Me

[viciouswishes]

1. Today was my first day at my new work. I spent all day reading about clothing.

2. I had a strong craving for Naan. But none of the Indian restaurants are open on Mondays here. spartacusjones and I tried to go to Trader Joe's, but it was closed. We ended up with Dairy Queen instead.

3. lornelover, amaresu, and Spartacusjones and I sang the due South theme loudly after watching "The Vault."

4. Captain Donnelly is my favorite Donnelly.

5. I have a strong aversion to bacon. It used to be one of the two meats that I craved when I became a vegetarian. Then I had a dream where I was cooking bacon while I was having a strong craving and horribly burned my hand. Bacon = 3rd degree burns.

6. I got a call from my alma mater's scholarship fund. I recognized the number as a university number and the caller as someone that I didn't know. They asked for my mom and I told them that they had the wrong number.

7. Like Wonder Woman, I did not know how to pump gas before I moved to Washington state.

8. I hate hair on the floor of bathroom or around the sink. I constantly wash it down and pick it up.

9. My vote for the fifth Cylon is Bob Dylan.

10. Pants are only required at my house when Lornelover's home. Except last summer when it was really hot and I sat around in my panties.

I never used to have to pump my own gas. One of the few advantages to people thinking all blondes are stupid. I would stand at the pump and look at the pump, then at my car, with a puzzled expression on my face and someone would always come over and do it for me. I knew how to pump my own gas, but it was fun to get people to do it for me. Not my fault they found it so easy to believe a silly stereotype.

Wow. Yeah, I just had amaresu mocking me and my ex teaching me how to do it.

[velvetwhip.livejournal.com]

Soemtimes they even washed my windows for me, too.

Yay you for finally learning, though.

I got suckered into donating to the scholarship fund. What can I say, I'm an easy mark.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Ha ha. Yeah, I can totally see that. I'm a cold hearted bitch, so you know...

[shakegirl.livejournal.com]

I would describe your "doing good things" style as more strategically helpful (which probably gets a whole bunch more done in the long run) than bitchy.

I always figure that one day I will give money to the school. Specifically for chapel renovations. ;) But today is not that day.

[shakegirl.livejournal.com]

So apparently the chapel got a whole $8,000 this year for chapel rennovations! *eye roll*

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Lame.

[mymatedave.livejournal.com]

Damn it. If Bob really is a Cylon, I'm probably going to have to convert.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Yeah.

10. Pants are only required at my house when Lornelover's home. Except last summer when it was really hot and I sat around in my panties.

This melts my brain in ways I don't think I can adequately describe.

Hair on the soap is one of my peeves. There's just something about the...clingy feeling that freaks me out no end.

We could send you some naan, but it would take a while.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

You should've seen what I wore when I was in Mexico or more like what I didn't wear...

Soap is bad too. But I rarely share it, only when I have people visiting.

Yeah, I imagine that the Indian restaurants are back open today. :)

9. My vote for the fifth Cylon is Bob Dylan.

I agree totally.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

It would be so rad.

2. I have to travel far afield to get naan. It's very annoying. My particular 'burb has a decent Asian population, but we mostly have Chinese or Thai restaurants. Other 'burbs have Indian restaurants. Mmm. I should just call up and order a bunch of naan and bring it home one day.

5. I love bacon. Oh, it's so good. But I very rarely get to have it. Because it's so bad for you. So, just out of curiosity, when did you become a vegetarian?

8. You would probably hate me. My waist-length hair means I shed very obviously. :( We should run the vacuum cleaner more often in our house.

9. My vote is for Billy, but that's only because I have a friend who loves him so.

10. Summer means wearing as little clothing as possible, doesn't it? Like, for everyone?

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

2. We lack decent Chinese food where I live. This makes me sad.

5. When I was 16. I couldn't handle store-boughten meat after growing up with knowing the cow on my plate.

8. More like I probably couldn't live with you for an extended period of time. It probably doesn't help for me because I hate vacuuming so picking it up is like my annoyance that probably wouldn't be so bad if I just vacuumed.

9. I really want Ellen, but Bob Dylan would be funnier.

10. Not always. I went like 8 years without wearing shorts and then I went on a Mexican and a Vegas vacation in the same year. I'm still not a shorts person. Skirts I'm fine with, but there's something inherently strange about shorts...

I think Dairy Queen is an acceptable substitute for Naan. Or, pretty much anything.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I still really wanted Naan and Spartacusjones had to split the Blizzard with me because it's too much for my sugar issues.

2. I love naan.
5. I used to say the reason I could never be a vegetarian was because of bacon. Then I worked in a breakfast diner for a summer, and never really cared for bacon again. I still like it on some sandwiches, though.
6. I always use the wrong number excuse for that sort of thing.
7. Wonder Woman didn't know how to pump gas?
8. You would FEAR my bathroom.
9. Seconded.
10. Hee! I love your icon!

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

5. I bet. My youngest brother works at Dairy Queen as a line cook and I suspect that someday soon, he'll never want to eat there again.

7. In the last issue of Wonder Woman, she doesn't and it was a hot button issue on all the blogs. Of course, the logic was that since she flew everywhere, why would she have to pump gas?

[gingerannef.livejournal.com]

8. Me too! It's so gross. Well, I can handle it on the floor of the bathroom, which is getting pretty filthy, so I should clean it, but in the tub or in the sink? Siiick! I always make sure to clean it out after I'm done showering so that my roommates won't have to put up with it.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

It doesn't bother me too much in the tub, but the sink probably does more than the floor. I blame a horrid roommate who had really long dyed black hair that always fell out because it was fried for creating my phobia. There was only so many time that I could clean the huge globs from the drain before grossing out permanently.

1. Naaan! Mmmm, Naan. I have yet to find ANY decent Indian food in Orlando. What is wrong with Florida? Oh wait, don't answer that/

2. Bacon was also pretty much the only meat I craved for ten years as a vegetarian. Then one day I was in a dim sum restaurant and smelled the char siu bao and remembered how good dim sum tasted. That was the day I stopped being a vegetarian.

The dream sounds like quite a deterrent.

3. There are people over on whedonesque.org who agree with you about Bob Dylan. I sort of agree. Since I happen to think everyone in the 13th tribe is ultimately a Cylon, well ... Bob can be an honorary one.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

1. That sucks. Do they have Trader Joe's out there? Or any other kind of high class grocery store?

2. Sometimes I think that will happen. The only cravings I have left are for crab, but fresh from the sea crab only.

3. Earth is totally going to be full of Cylons. That's my bet anyway.

[chicken-cem.livejournal.com]

1. There is a Whole Foods. I go there all the time. The problem is, it's a 35 minute drive from my house and it's among the smallest Whole Foods in the country (about 20,000 sq. feet). Thus their inventory is cramped and not the best. I am more used to big 40,000 sq. feet ones like up north. They are apparently building a brand new Whole Foods closer to my apartment that will be over 50,000 sq. feet but they only just broke ground.

Also, Naan from stores is OK, but actual restaurants is better. The Indian restaurants around here are not great.

2. I adore seafood. Esp. crab and salmon. It's because I grew up in Colorado where fresh seafood was non-existent. So when I moved to the East Coast I really started eating seafood.

3. See, you agree! I totally think it will happen. Cylons everywhere. Every kind. Good, bad, medium. Interacting with one another as if they were human, practically. Sort of inevitable evolution or something.

Agree about craving bacon after I gave up meat. It's gone away now though, and I don't even have a dream to explain why I now find it extra replusive. Sometimes even little bits of salty, sun-dried tomato will freak me out and I will have to reread the ingediants to make sure it's not the dreaded bacon snuck into my food.

[viciouswishes.livejournal.com]

Pig meat in general bothers me like nothing else and is probably the only type of meat I have any issue being around. Of course there was that time when I was 12 and had super bad food poisoning from bologna...
