- 1. I love really vivid colors!
- 2. …but I don’t wear them, because red hair + really pale skin+ bright color= me looking Technicolor and kinda sickly.
- 3. I wear green a lot though because I like it and it looks good on me.
- 4. My favorite color is purple though.
- 5. I have an evil/sweet Tortoiseshell cat named Pixie. She's my craft "assistant".
- 6. I love dragonflies and have one tattooed on my back. It has psychedic swirly green and blue wings.
- 7. I have a big nose.
- 8. My eyes are three colors: dark blue ring around the outside, green/blue/gray (it changes) in the middle, and a ring of olivey brown around the center. I think it’s neat.
- 9. I'm a sucker for big brown eyes.
- 10. I will add –ey or –y to anything to make it a word. Dinosaury, stabby, zombie-ey… it’s very silly.
- 11. I go howling at the moon with a select group of friends on full moons, especially in the winter.
- 12. I can howl realistically enough that the coyotes answer me.
- 13. I’m half in love with Mary Oliver, the poetess. Her words make my heart stop in astonishment.
- 14. I’m obsessed with deep or growly voices. Alan Rickman (Snape!) makes my heart go pitter-patter. I desperately want Michael Wincott to read me bedtime stories. Vin Diesel could read me the phone book and I would purr. (Okay, maybe that’s not just because of his voice! ;) ) It's not just guys either; I think Angie Harmon and Lindsay Lohan (I know, I know...) have killer voices too.
- 15. I love swirly, undulating shapes. Sinuous is my favorite word.
- 16. I’m crazy about texture! I’m one of those people who has to go about touching everything: plants, fabric especially, paper, sculptures. I’ve trained myself not to be too touchy-feely with other people because I have several friends who don’t like to be touched, but it’s hard.
- 17. I’m a complete arachnophobe. *shudder*
- 18. I love wind! You’ll often find me outside in the wind before a storm. I love driving with all the windows down and the radio blasting at night in the summer, with the wind giving me a hairdo worthy of Medusa.
- 19. I’m a big people-watcher. My friends are always saying to my distracted face “Who is it now?” and I’ll go into this ramble about how the two people at the next table are arguing, or how that guy is mooning over that girl, or how those two businessmen having dinner don’t really like each other. Body language fascinates me.
- 20. Spending a day wandering along and through a creek is my idea of a perfect day.
- 21. I love rocks! I have tons (maybe literally! Haha) of pretty ones in my house along the windowsills, and arranged alongside the plants in my garden and flowerbeds, and in a bowl on the porch, and in the car, and in my purse, and …well, you get the idea.
- 22. I love camping!
- 23. and bonfires
- 24. and trees and plants
- 25. and any body of water that’s handy
- 26. and the moon and stars
- 27. and clouds
- 28. and gardening
- 29. I’m a fast and avid reader, and I love the library. I have way too many books! Between them and the rocks, no one will help me move anymore! :D
- 30. Clive Barker is my favorite author
- 31. Imajica is my favorite book
- 32. I write crappy poetry that I don’t usually share. Be thankful.
- 33. I’ve always wanted to try silversmithing
- 34. and making pottery
- 35. and knitting
- 36. I’m obsessed with paper
- 37. and words- I like anything- fabric, paper, art- with words on it.
- 38. I’m a Virgo sun, with a Libra moon and a Pisces ascendant
- 39. Astrology fascinates me, and I do believe in it as a tool for predicting personality.
- 40. I’m a skeptical believer.
- 41. I’m fascinated by ghosts and hauntings and I’ve had some weird things happen that I can’t explain. I’m not sure what to think (see #40).
- 42. I have ADD (oh, look, there’s a chicken! Ohhh, shiny thiiings!).
- 43. I’m self-deprecating.
- 44. and a smartass
- 45. I love horror movies
- 46. I miss MST3K [url: http://www.mst3k.com/]
- 47. Bigotry infuriates me.
- 48. I think anybody should be able to marry anybody they choose, or that nobody should be able to marry.
- 49. But I never plan to marry anyone ever again. (Been there, done that.)
- 50. I like kids, but don’t want any.
- 51. I have a ridiculous alter-ego, known only to my family (until now!): Allister the Allmighty. She has minions.
- 52. I really want an enormous, sweet-tempered, silly mutt. But I am never home to give one the attention they need, so I have to go to friends' houses to get my dog fix.
- 53. I like snakes. I think they are pretty and interesting.
- 54. I love big cats, especially snow leopards. They are so beautiful and regal.
- 55. Zoo depress me though.
- 56. But I love aquariums- sharks!!! And rays!
- 57. I like bats, and I have bathouses around the yard. They help a lot with mosquitoes, and it’s fun to watch them swoop around hunting at dusk.
- 58. I love dinosaurs! When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a paleontologist.
- 59. I would really like to travel more. There’s no place that I can think of that I wouldn’t like to go at least once, just to see it.
- 60. When I drive past roads out in the middle of nowhere, especially dirt ones, I always wonder where they go. If I have the opportunity, I always find out.
- 61. Sometimes I go into giggle fits where something will strike me as funny and I’ll start laughing and everything else will just make it funnier and funnier and I’ll keep laughing until I’m out of breath and my sides hurt. I love that.
- 62. I'm adventurous; I'll try anything once and I'm pretty much up for a trip at any time.
- 63. I love the taste and smell of rosemary.
- 64. I really love to cook and especially to bake.
- 65. I make killer chocolate chip cookies – my recipe.
- 66. I make my own perfume which is a blend of cinnamon, vanilla and cloves. People compliment me on it when they hug me or stand very close- I don’t like strong perfume.
- 67. I make sugar scrub which is fun and super-easy, and I could really use some right about now on my scaly winter skin.
- 68. I love shoes!
- 69. But I can’t wear most of my nice heels- I tore my ACL a couple of years ago and had surgery to repair it, and I’m not quite up to high heels yet. Yet. :)
- 70. I have a wall in my bedroom that is covered by stars accumulated from all over the place. It keeps growing.
- 71. I like just about anything with leaf or tree designs on it.
- 72. My favorite movie is Nightbreed.
- 73. I love all kinds of music, but would much rather hear it live.
- 74. I love drum circles.
- 75. I love to dance.
- 76. I have long hair and pretty much always have had it. I had my hair cut really short when I was 11 and hated it, and then when I was about 15 I had a disastrous haircut that ended up about 6 inches shorter than it should have been. Gak!
- 77. I really wanted to dye my hair purple when I was a teen and my mother wouldn’t let me. Now I don’t because I know it will fry my hair to strip out enough color to go truly violet. I figure when I’m 80, I’ll have gorgeous ultraviolet hair at last because there won’t be any parent or husband or employer to dissuade me, and my natural silver (by then!) will take purple well.
- 78. If my dad hadn’t put his foot down, my mom would have named me Sunshine Alice.
- 79. I have one brother who is younger than me and one nephew who’s almost 17.
- 80. I have a green thumb. I can take almost any plant on the verge of death and nurse it back to health.
- 81. Even if I don’t feed them, stray cats always show up where I live and hang around. My old roommate used to jokingly call me Bast.
- 82. When I was a little girl, my best friend and I used to ride the cows on the farm near her house. It drove the farmer and our parents nuts.
- 83. I drink way too much soda, and a ridiculous amount of hot tea.
- 84. I have a lot of teapots.
- 85. I have a hard time making friends.
- 86. My best friend’s name is Darlene and she rocks. I don’t see her as often as I’d like.
- 87. If she divorces her husband, I get custody of their dog. Seriously, it's in writing.
- 88. I have a really big butt. A close friend of mine slipped on the stairs behind me once and was saved from falling by landing on my enormous rear end. She calls it the Golden Tush now. :D
- 89. I really like exclamation points!!!
- 90. I’m a really good storyteller.
- 91. I can actually sing pretty well
- 92. But I have horrendous stage fright.
- 93. I love natural fibers; cotton, silk, linen, bamboo.
- 94. I like silver better than gold.
- 95. I don’t like diamonds- give me color anyday!
- 96. I love fresh flowers, but don’t like florist roses.
- 97. I love old roses though; damasks, bourbons, wild roses.
- 98. I love the way a pot of growing herbs smell in the sun.
- 99. I spend way, waaaaay too much time on Craftster.
- 100. I love being me!
