11. We don't have children yet, but we would certainly like to have them! I'm honestly hoping that we have our first or that I'm at least pregnant by my 30th birthday.
12. I have been blessed to have had many pets in my life. My first was a blue parakeet named Sunshine. My second was a tortoiseshell rescue cat named Daisy, and I had a shi-poo named Tootsie. A grey & white tomcat came to us and we named him Sylvester. Cats who followed were Orion, Mystery, Ginny, Rosario, and Minerva, and there were many lovely fish over the years. I had three parakeets, one white and two green, named Candy, Bunny, and Chickie (they were all acquired at Easter one year).
When my grandmother passed away, I inherited her neglected cockatiel named Sydney. When I first came to Canada, I gave him a much better home.
While I was in Virginia those 18 months, Minerva got preggo a couple times and had some kittens who immediately attached themselves to me (yay Mom for being extremely old-fashioned and not getting Minerva spayed!! >_<). In turn, one of HER kittens had a litter of four, and the two females of the litter bonded with me. If I could have driven, you'd be damn well sure that I would have gotten Minerva AND her offspring spayed and neutered!! As it was, I did help my family find forever homes for all of Minerva's offspring and grand-offspring before I returned to Canada.
And here we have five cats, but it's my big ginger Spike who is deeply bonded to me. :)
13. I love love LOVE fresh fruits and veggies, especially apples, tomatoes, spinach, cucumbers, carrots, plums, cherries, and strawberries. I`m obsessed with dairy products and Asian food. I love crab, lobster, and shrimp. I love a good burger! I hate curry (got sick from it once and get nauseous at the smell of it), eggs, and fish except tuna, haddock, and salmon. I`m not fond of mangoes and starfruit, and I hate grapefruit. I hate fried food for the most part; just the smell makes me feel sick.
14. Ten years ago, I was 18. I was severely isolated, my homeschooling had fallen out under me and I didn't have a 12th grade education, my anxiety coupled with Mom's control prevented me from getting a driver's license or a job. My only connection to the outside world was the internet; I had known my girls for a year, Jessie and I were still sissas (our word for best friends), and I had just met Trevor. And Becky came to our house after school every day, which was the other bright spot in my pathetic existence. Looking back, I'm shocked at the low quality of life which I was living. Even though I beat myself up a lot for not being successful or a university graduate right now, I know that I have come a LONG way in 10 years.
15. I actually drink very little, and it's not totally because of my medication. I drink maybe once or twice a month, if that. It depends on if there's a party or not or if we go out to a restaurant that serves alcohol. It's not often that I drink at home, and if I do, it's typically a vodka cooler or something like that.
16. I'd say that so far my worst illness was gastritis in early 2008. They determined that it was caused by a combination of severe stress and the viral infection I had throughout my body at the time (it was really bizarre; both sets of my old ear piercings became infected, any tiny scratches I had became infected all at once, I got a sinus infection, etc). It went for two months before I found a free clinic where I could finally get treatment. It was painful, exhausting, and I barely ate and was throwing up every day. I know there are much worse things in the world, such as Crohn`s, but damn it still sucked!
