rhienelleth Tell six things about yourself and then tag six more people to do the same:
1. When I was a little girl, when people used to ask me about my parents, I would tell them I was adopted. The problem with that was that I was not adopted, but raised by the people that actually gave birth to me. I had this whole fantasy where my "real" parents would come and find me. Yeah. No such luck. :->
2. I used to stutter as a child. I still do, actually. Not nearly as badly as I did then, but every so often, a word gets stuck in my mouth and it won't come out for anything. It's only slightly less mortifying now than it was then.
3. I am a notary public for the State of New Jersey. How's that for random?
4. My mother is a compulsive hoarder. You know those women you see on tv, the ones they take out of homes containing 6,586 cats in various stages of life? My mother is one of them.
She doesn't collect living things (thank you for small mercies, God). Instead she collects objects. Objects like little ceramic bunnies, newspapers, old food, clothes, shoes, teapots, jewelry, makeup, small appliances, boxes, mail, catalogs, magazines, figurines, etc.
It wasn't until I was a teenager that I realized that "normal people" didn't wash dishes in the bathtub because the sink was full of decaying food.
5. I hate being surprised. I like to know what is going to happen in advance. I always spoil myself for movies and tv shows, because I do not want to walk into it blind. Surprise parties? Also a no-go.
6. I allow my cats on my countertops and tables. They are also fed on the counter nearest to the kitchen sink. The only exception to this is the kitchen table, because I need to be able to eat somewhere in peace with out a nose in my plate (other than my own, of course).
I'm not going to tag anyone specific on my fl, because a lot of you have done it already, but if you haven't, consider yourself tagged. :-)
