[Gemme]

3. One of my childhood nicknames was Short Shit. I haven't quite outgrown it yet.

4. I keep the ashes of my favorite pet, Willow Anastacia, on the computer desk. Having her close helps me feel that she's still sort of here, like she's just in another room right now.

5. Though I'm a pretty good typist, I still have to look when I type numbers. Always.

6. I love music. I love Madonna. Both kept me sane through my craptastic childhood and are the only reasons I am still here today. You can not like her, but don't diss her or say that Lady Gaga is better than her because you will have a lengthy debate on your hands if you do.

7. Boogie Wonderland by Earth, Wind and Fire is one of my top 3 favorite songs, ever.

8. I've been married twice. Pregnant once. No children.

11. I fancy myself a writer of sorts but have been muse-less for some time now.

13. I've lived in FL, WA, TX, MS and NY.

14. I'm half pure Italian and half mutt (French, English, Dutch, and Asian). There's more, I'm sure, but that's all that we can account for at this time.

15. My cell is archaic.

16. I love, love, love good erotica. Note: I said GOOD erotica. Crap is crap until it's good.

18. I truly believe I was meant to be a redhead. Maybe next year I'll take the plunge.

19. I love chick flicks, especially rom coms.

20. Horror movies do not help my overactive imagination at all. I am more than happy to come into the room at the end and ask you to tell me about it though.

21. Lucky Charms is my go to comfort cereal, but I'll eat Basic 4 when I'm trying to eat better.

22. I want more tattoos.

23. My favorite movie of all time is Auntie Mame.

24. I've worn glasses since I was 14 months old. If I had a dollar for every pair I went through....

[adorable]

1. I’m a fairly classic ENTP. While everyone thinks I’m such an extrovert, I disagree. Staying present is exhausting for me. I’m also a true Scorpio.
2. I always wanted to play the trumpet. In third grade someone let me borrow theirs and I tried for three weeks to make sound come out. No luck. That ended my love affair with the trumpet.
3. I played lacrosse on the boys team in high school.
4. I love books. I collect autographed copies. I was lucky to have a job at one point where I met important, published people.
5. I never curse or show disrespect to, or in front, of older people. Under any circumstances.
6. Surprise! I’m impulsive.
7. I love going to Yankee’s games. The last time I was set to go to Pride in NYC, I got tickets to the first Subway Series in the new Shea stadium, aka Citi Field. I never made it to Pride. The stadium was amazing, and of course, the Yankee’s won. (They throw games occasionally to keep people from complaining how they always win - they are humble that way.)
8. It took me three weeks to watch Schindler’s List. I could only watch small bits at a time. Then I’d lose it, regroup and force myself to watch a little more.
9. While I’m not afraid of heights, I am afraid of ladders. During firefighting training, we had to raise a 25 foot extension ladder in full gear and race to the top of the building. It was a timed test. I had the lowest time. I had no problem getting on the roof. Getting down was a different story. The instructor had to come up and talk me down. lol. I spent the rest of the day doing it over and over until I mastered it. I still hate ladders, but I can get off the roof. I did find that I was more motivated when the building was actually on fire.
10. I don’t really believe in superstitions, yet will still throw salt over my shoulder if it’s spilled, never walk under ladders, never lay hats on a bed or open umbrellas indoors. My grandmother put the fear of god into me when I was little.
11. I’m the only person in my family that has ever voted or went to college.
12. I’m am oldest child and very competitive.
13. I had serious hearing problems until the fourth grade. I learned to read everything to understand what was going on and it became my first great escape. I finished the entire Hardy Boys collection in second grade. My first “paper” in the sixth grade was a book report on the Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth.
14. Ham and cream cheese are delicious together. Cream cheese on hot dogs - delicious too.
15. I substitute ground turkey for anything that requires hamburger and quickly hide the package so no one knows. They never know. lol. Only turkey hot dogs too.
16. I may be one of only five people in the world that actually loves Grape Nuts cereal.
17. I hate the snow and dislike upstate NY. I have fallen in love with the idea of living in Ecuador.
18. Although I do love the ocean, I don’t swim anywhere where I can’t see the bottom.
19. I love poetry and the classics. I don’t have command over English in the way that great or even good writers do. So many rules. I’m only able to write from emotion. It made learning Spanish hard too. How can you learn the rules of another language without knowing what the rules are in your own? I have no idea what the past predicates or participles are, just that they exist.
20. I automatically assume that math, science, physics and statistics majors are smarter than me. I generally like them immediately and find them fascinating. My brain just doesn’t work that way.
21. I love to hear about what people do for a living. I could listen to those stories all day. Or how they came to this country, or stories about life up until 1960.
22. My favorite songs of all time are Radar Love by Golden Earring, Rhumboogie by the Andrew Sisters and Opus One by Tommy Dorsey. Random, I know. Music was my second great escape.
23. The minute I learned how to “Act as if” my life changed forever.
24. I once wrote a letter to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the king of Dubai and told him that I would love to visit his country, but he would need to change his policy against Israel. I haven’t heard back, so I assume he’s still thinking it over.
25. I’ve always been a news fanatic, even more so since 9/11. CNN is always on somewhere in my house and I usually run a live feed at work.
