If you knew me at all, you'd know that

I frequently and joyfully declare myself to be odd, weird, a freak, nerd, dork, or geek.

I am a total drama queen, but I'm trying to be sane about it.

I act in small productions... church, community theatre... met my husband that way.

I have 4 sisters, a brother in law, and between them (the youngest sister doesn't have any children yet) I have a dozen neices and nephews.

I'm deathly afraid of spiders and flushing the toilet after dark.

I can't watch horror movies after dark in my own home. I won't start a horror/suspense/thriller movie if it will end after the sun's gone down. I'll go to other people's houses, I'll go to theatres... but I can't sleep in the same house where I just saw a horror movie in the dark.

I despise the smell of seafood. I'm not allergic to it, but the odor makes me ill. I grew up on the East Coast of the US, near a place that apparently burned the seafood as it spoiled, so there was the concentrated odor of burning, rotting seafood all the time... can't get past it. I've tried.

I'm very emotionally attatched to my pets, probably more than my husband would care to admit, though not as much as some seem to be. The thought of losing them makes me cry, and I wrote a poem about it once.

I'm cheerfully underemployed, but a full-time volunteer for my church.

I'm blissfully happily married.

My husband and I's first date was my 19th birthday, he proposed on my 20th, and exactly 6 months later, we were married... and it still took him 6 years to remember "23" was the important date.

It breaks my heart that I can't have children, but I'm waiting for the day when I know it's right to adopt.

I LOVE CHOCOLATE.

I can't have caffeine or carbonation anymore.

I think I'm rambling...
