Hey, it's a meme!

[smeddley]

Wherein you learn truly fascinating things about me. It's the '10 things about me' meme from cazrolime.

(A lot of you have been through this with me, so the writing backwards and other really fun stuff has been covered)

1. I am depressingly responsible. I've never done drugs, drank so much I couldn't remember, been promiscuous, or even driven without my seatbelt on.
2. I have a waist-to-hip ratio that hovers just over 60% - just try finding clothes that fit that! I can only wear things with elastic waists, and most of those I have to cinch down.
3. I haven't cut my hair in almost a year and a half, and am somewhat afraid to since the last three cuts have been disastrous - crooked and crappy and just terrible. I will probably break down eventually, but... not any time soon.
4. I have a deep-seated fear of dying, but not of things that are likely to kill me. For example, I worry about skin cancer (which doesn't run in my family) but not diabetes (which does). I also believe that, as it is entirely [theoretically] possible for all the atoms in my body to suddenly move outward as one, thereby disintegrating me. Theoretically possible? Yes. Likely? Not so much.
5. I fear diseases, but not germs. I worry about diseases I am not likely to get (Chagas Disease, Plague) but am perfectly happy eating pizza that's been sitting on the counter overnight. And I never get a flu shot.
6. I learned to knit because my hubby (then-boyfriend) had a scarf his ex had knitted him, and I'd be damned if she could do anything that I couldn't. (Hey, I was like, 19 - and yes, he does still have the scarf, and no, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. 15 years has a way of making you feel secure)
7. I really never want to meet any of the celebs who play the characters I fangirl over. Yes, even if I had the opportunity to sleep with them (were I not married). I'm invariably disappointed when I learn things about people, so I'd rather live in my little bubble and squeal over the characters - because it's the character I'm attracted to, not the person playing them.
8. I can guarantee there are things I will never, ever, ever tell anyone. No, not even if asked.
9. I am a serious slob, and even though a clean house would make me happier, I just can't motivate myself to keep things cleaned up (good thing I'm not germ-phobic, eh?). And I'm not even properly ashamed of it.
10. I like dogs a lot more than I like kids. I'll pet your dog, but I do not want to hold your baby. Your dog can kiss me (yes, on the face) but I would never share a glass with a kid.

And they usually have a different hair cut and accent! D=

Ha! True, I remember being floored hearing 'House' speak with a British accent! :D

I was the opposite. And then I saw him on a tv showing of Stuart Little, and I was appalled.

D= He's horrible with an American accent. You need to check out some Fry & Laurie.

I can't believe how many similar wavelengths we're on!

1) I'm depressingly responsible too, (perhaps not quite as responsible as you though, after all I did have a 'oops, baby').

9) Makes me like you more. Seriously.

Yay! Sometimes I revel in my slovenliness, especially when people complain they never have time to do anything. Well, there are things you can give up! The floor's just fine with a layer of dog hair, it protects the carpet! ;D

It's unwise to share a glass with a kid even if you like them. They tend to backwash.

I'd share my drink with my dog before I would a kid! Because, yeah, ugh, kid-spit... (She's not one of the really slobbery ones, though - her water bowl stays slobber-free)

I know! You let my dog kiss you on the face and I've never let her do that to me. I do let my cat lick my nose though. But absolutely never ever will I share a glass with a kid. So I can't blane you on that one.

I'm not as okay with other people's dog spit as I am Shadow's, of course (for instance, kisses on the face are okay, but I'd probably be a little icked if I got any French action from a strange dog... unlike from my dog, who tends to kiss at inopportune time (yawning, talking, etc) resulting in a big ole mouthful of puppy tongue). But mostly, I'm not overly upset by dog germs. Probably because there's really not much you can catch from a dog, but kids are always carrying around all sort of diseases and infections they can pass on!
