List brought to you by the letter A for adalricbrandl
1. Tiny Dogs
This is a given. There are two small dogs in my house. Duke the Papillon mix and Earl the Pomeranian/Papillon hybrid. Tiny dogs are a lot of work so I tend to talk about them alot. Plus I'm obsessed with dogs in general so it always comes up in a conversation with me, no matter if I have to derail the entire thing or not! Plus, they always give me something to think about when my life is dreary and stagnant. They're always up to something, or are making a lot of noise, or one will throw up / sneeze and Mom will have a fit. Keeps life interesting.
2. X-box
To be honest this one blew me away. I HATE X-box with a passion! I hated it's bloated size, I hated playing Halo and the thing I hated the most... The CONTROLLER. I have tiny hands so I never felt comfortable using the thing. I had the same problem with N64 controllers which is why I skipped that Nintendo console. I DO have an X-box 360 now. Didn't have much of a choice! The games I wanted desperately were coming to that platform whether I wanted them to or not! I like the 360 controller though. Depressingly there still aren't enough games I want on the PS3 for me to consider getting one. But wow, this was number 2! I didn't think I talked about it THAT often...
3. Call Waiting
Augh. Poor Andrew. I used to call him from work when I was at Connections Call Centre when I was feeling lonely. I swear, I'd wait for over 40 minutes and there would be no calls and then as soon as I'm talking to Andrew, BAM! The worst part was they'd come one at a time so I'd just get back to him and I have to put him on hold AGAIN. Mountain FM blaring in his ear. But those conversations kept me sane sitting alone in the dark... Playing Tetris and doing needle point..
4. Japan
Yeah yeah. I know. I talk a lot about Japan. Kind of hard not to when we're discussing anime or video games or whatever. Plus since I'm IN Japan right now kind of colors my LJ posts a little. Plus I'm ALWAYS up for Japanese food! My first trip to Japan was such an experience that it colored my outlook a lot after coming back. So I keep referring back to it since it was such a big milestone in my life so far.
5. Bold Hair Colors
It's true. I love bright colored hair. I secretly wish I was ginger. It's a hobby of mine to see how bright I can dye my hair since it's a darkish-brown color so it's hard to get it REAL bright without bleach. I even dyed my hair blue once... The blue dye came off on EVERYTHING. Pillows, clothes, skin - it was disgusting! Fun to try though. Melinda and I tried to dye my hair red after the blue had washed out... Turned this fascinating shade of purple so we just dyed it brown again. LOL Oh yes, when I get home that's going to be one of the first things I'm going to do... Hmmm... Wonder what to do this time.
Oh, by the way. I'll be home on the 25th! I better get packing!
