#1) I love my daughter. She is my life, she saved my life, I love her more than my life. She is wonderful... and in her I see all the best parts of who I am!

#2) I love cats and small, furry, rodent-animals. I had to leave all but one of my pets behind when I moved a couple of months ago... and now I'm going through kitty-cat withdrawals. My daughter's hamster Diego has been trying to fill the void... but he's a poor substitute seeing as he spends most of his time sleeping and stuffing his cheeks, lol.

#3) I love the number “3”!!! I’m obsessed.. I have a slightly irritating OCD involving 3s… I have to set every alarm and timer to the closest number with a 3 in it (or number awesomely divisible by three-- such as: 21, 39, 69) If I need to wake up at 6:00 am… my alarm will be set for 6:03... If I need to wake up at 5:30 am… my alarm will be set for 5:33. If I need to set something for like 15 minutes… I’ll set it for 13 and then wing it. Etc.etc.etc.

#4) I wear black. A lot. It’s not because I’m “emo” or “goth” (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but it’s because I feel comfortable in black. It looks good on me-- it matches anything… and its just awesome. Period.

#5) I like to read. I read a lot of fantasy, some sci-fi, and any prehistoric fiction I can get my hands on! I also like a comic called Elf quest (from back in the day, lol) I read quite a bit… as often as I can. I find that it helps refresh my vocabulary and it feeds my brain in so many other ways. I love books!

#6) I don’t like close-mindedness and ignorance. I love to debate and discuss various subjects… and I can totally accept that others may have different opinions than me. However, I find it difficult to respect people who vehemently back something without having done any research or who are unable to provide any sort of solid information to go along with their blind opinions.

#7) I don’t like people who hurt animals. It is never funny to cause pain to an innocent animal. It is never okay to run an animal over on the road just for fun. It is not okay to keep a pet just to treat it like crap. If you cannot care for a pet properly, then do not own one.

#8) I have a HUGE pet-peeve about things matching. When my daughter was younger it was a serious OCD of mine. Everything had to match PERFECTLY. If we all go out (me, my SO, and my daughter) I try to get us to all wear similarly themed/ matching clothes. If my daughter has an outfit or article of clothing that doesn’t really have anything that matches it perfectly… she will not wear it until an appropriate wardrobe supplement is found. And yes, I realize this is weird.

#9) My moods are extremely unpredictable-- even to myself.

#10) I’m strange by many standards and that’s okay with me J
