xfirefly9x because I'm bored and procrastinating from cleaning the house
one. post a picture of yourself:
haha, that's pretty old but I don't feel like digging around to find the most recent one
two. favourite mythical creature:
I don't think I have a favorite mythical creature
three. popular series you don’t like:
most of them, the shows I like always seem to be on the bubble of being canceled
four. an interesting/weird talent:
um, I can read and knit at the same time (while rocking a baby in a carseat with my foot)
five. favourite animal:
cat, preferably orange and stripey
six. three meaningful objects:
my wedding band, my old, beat up recipe box (it was my mom's and I always liked it as a kid--it still has all her recipes in it), my oldest Christmas ornament (a blown glass bear that I was given at birth, originally I had 3--the bear, an angel and a clown, but the other two broke--I'm the only one allowed to touch it and hang it on the tree, it's very fragile). and if I still had it: the pendant with my mom's ashes in it. It was probably my most treasured possession until it got lost in a move years ago. *sniff*
seven. biggest fears:
That I'll fail as a parent.
eight. things you like to collect:
magnets mostly, fanfiction on my e-reader, lol (I've only read a fraction of it), yarn (way too much to ever use it all... but it's so pretty)
nine. a random interesting/weird fact:
I'm not interesting. Um... I can't use a phone. Every time I try to call someone I have a panic attack, same goes with answering the phone even if I know who it is. I only use my phone to text my husband and play games, lol.
ten. favourite gaming console:
we only have an xbox 360 and the computer (oh, and the kids all have DSs), I don't really play games any more, they give me motion sickness
eleven. top five fictional crushes (TV only):
Jack O'Neill (can I just put him five times? No... ok), Castle, Jack Carter, Angel, Hyde (That 70s Show)
twelve. introvert or extrovert:
Introvert.
thirteen. something you want right now:
peace and quiet
fourteen. where you’re from and where you wish you were from:
Chicago, IL born and raised, I can't imagine being from anywhere else
fifteen. one thing you like and hate about yourself:
not much I like any more, too much hate to really discuss here
sixteen. a series you wish would continue:
Any of my favorites. But right now... The River (I actually really liked it), The Finder (boo at FOX, they pulled a Firefly on it, airing all the episodes out of order and canceling after 1 season--at least they aired all the eps, though). Definitely Eureka. Syfy sucks!
seventeen. screenshot of your desktop:
(that's Mt Hood as seen when crossing the I-205 bridge between Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR)
eighteen. favourite flavour of ice-cream:
double fudge brownie or cookies & cream
nineteen. a hobby you’d die without:
I'd like to say it's something more cerebral like writing but it's TV watching. When I had my nervous breakdown the only think keeping me stable was hiding in my room and watching TV (anything that required little brain power)
twenty. a tumblr trend you hate:
I don't use tumblr really (I do have one, though)
twenty-one. one food you could live off of:
I don't think I could live off of just one food but I could do pizza for a long while without getting tired, plus you can basically get all the food groups in there
twenty-two. share the other sites you're on:
AO3, ff.net, flickr, twitter, goodreads, getglue, wordpress, dreamwidth
twenty-three. one thing you’ll never do in your lifetime:
lots of things, I'm sure
twenty-four. one thing you’ll definitly do in your lifetime:
write a novel... I hope
twenty-five. biggest pet peeves:
inconsiderate, selfish people that feel entitled to everything and don't care how they get it
also people who take pleasure in the pain and suffering of other people

girls: Allison, Bridget, Kylie, Charlotte, Erin
twenty-eight. top five celebrity crushes:
Richard Dean Anderson, Nathan Fillion, David Boreanaz... um, don't think I have any others
twenty-nine. one thing that you hate about your favourite series:
I don't hate anything about it
thirty. one celebrity you need to meet:
I have no urge to meet celebrities
thirty-one. top five current obsessions:
Stargate, writing, Holmes on Homes, Diet Coke, turkey sandwiches from Subway
thirty-two. things tumblr/livejournal is keeping you from right now:
cleaning the house, changing Jack's diaper, writing
thirty-three. something you want to do, but are afraid to:
I don't know, there are too many things to even consider
thirty-four. series you think has the worst fandom:
don't know. I'm pretty much only involved in the Stargate fandom and it has the best fans EVA!
thirty-five. childhood interest you still like:
writing
thirty-six. a talent you wish you had:
I always wished I could play the guitar (I can play the violin, though)

Date: 20 May 2012 07:51 pm (UTC)Now my son is severely allergic to them so we couldn't have one even if our landlady allowed it. He told me that when he grows up and moves out of the house he'd going to get me an orange cat because I couldn't have one all the years he was little. Sad part is my son loves cats, too. We had 2 when he was a baby (both black, one was the original cat we got when I was 9 or 10--he was almost 20 years old) but we had to get rid of them when he was 1 because of various reasons.
4 years later he developed the allergy. It's really scary when he has a reaction (full face swelling up, hives, eye swelled shut, lips turning blue). Freaks me out. Just being in a room where a cat was causes his face to swell and his eyes go completely blood shot. Heck he can get that from playing with a kid that has a cat because the hairs are on their clothes.
He's also allergic to dogs but the reaction isn't as severe. We have to keep lots of Benadryl in the house and car just in case he has a reaction (every single one of his friends as a dog and/or cat).
The motion sickness makes me mad. I LOVED roller coasters when I was a kid. I can no longer go on the looping ones or I get so sick I can't move. I haven't been on any in 12 years so I'm not sure how I would do on the non-looping kind but watching them would probably give me a headache. The kids like to go to a park with a merry-go-round and I can't watch them playing on it without getting a migraine and feel like throwing up. Going on it is not an option. Ugh.
