Ten-Day Meme, Day two
La la la, better get going on this thing while I can 'cause I'm at work on the day before Christmas Eve and NOOOOBODY wants to be here, la la la. Or more like FA LA LA LA LAAAAA LA LA LA LA! **smirk**
Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now.
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart.
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two images that describe your life right now, and why.
Day Ten: One confession.
1. I have this thing for nice socks. No, REALLY. I don't mean a foot-fetish, I just like nice, colorful socks. Right now I'm wearing cashmere-blend dark blue ones with pale blue polka-dots.
2. I have ambitions to someday plant a knot-garden, just a small one (kind of like this only with way more flowers and varieties of herbs.)
3. I'm named after my two aunts (Sue and Irma Ann) and my paternal grandmother, Ruth Elizabeth.
4. For the years through ages 9 - 12 or so, I wanted (and planned) nothing more in the whole world than to grow up, graduate high school, and run away to the woods somewhere to live as a hermit for the rest of my life. It wasn't that I hated people, I just could easily see doing without them. Funny how things turn out. /irony/
5. I have just short of a yard's worth of scar tissue on my skin (I measured it one day out of curiosity) from four different surgeries.
6. If I had just one meal left to eat in my life before I died I'd request that it begin with she-crab soup and a salad of flowers and spring greens with basil, then move on to a pound of snow crab legs, bay scallops cooked in lemon-garlic-butter sauce, rare kobe beef tenderloin with mushrooms and grilled asparagus before ending with three kinds of dessert: peach melba, freshly-picked blackberries with sugar, and spice cake like I used to eat when I was little. And then I'd be so stuffed I wouldn't notice when I croaked, I suspect.
7. Stuffed animals I own: three ferrets, three bats, a bakemono (Tora!), a purple pterodactyl, an armadillo, a rat, several bears, an otter and two owls. I only bought two of these; the rest were all gifts.
8. My pets aren't my pets, they're my furry kids. I'd die for them; it doesn't matter that their lives are so much shorter than my own, they don't know a thing about years. I'd much rather live for them than die for them, though; there's much worse to live for than that. ^__^
9. Sight's my most useful sense, obviously, but beyond that hearing and smell run neck-and-neck. I so love good scents-- my favorites are magnolia flowers, beach-smell (as opposed to open ocean, they do smell way different), rain on hot desert, crab-boil, newborn baby and fresh laundry. Favorite sounds: mourning-doves, running water on rocks, wind in pine-trees, muted traffic-sounds when I don't have to get up yet, crows talking (yes, they talk) and great big noisy thunderstorms.
There we go, that's today's taken care of. Have a good day, all!
