1. I don't like condiments. Not salad dressing, vinaigrette, mayo, mustard, ranch...nope. It's all super gross! BBQ sauce is ok, but not in excess or to dip things in.
2. I played World of Warcraft for like, 12 years, though I'm taking a break now. I started playing when husband and I were first dating, because it seemed like a thing we should do together, or we weren't going to be together long!

3. I have misophonia and it totally sucks. Listening to other people chew (especially chips or carrots) makes me crazy. Repeated sniffles/throat clearing/weird breathing is also a problem.
4. Once during a sedar, I opened the door for the prophet Elijah and my dog ran in. It was hilarious, mostly because we'd already had too much Manischewitz. No, I'm not religious, why do you ask?
5. I love rereading books I enjoy, especially series. I love finding how all the little bits fit together and all the tiny hints and clues. I also have a poor memory, so if I wait long enough, it's like reading it for the first time!
6. I absolutely adore my little dog, but I don't think I'll get another. Waaaay too much commitment!
Haiku can live forever though
7. Yes, I'm a super hardcore cat person. Dogs bark, and drool, and smell weird, and constantly need attention of one kind or another. Cats purr, are super cute, and can enjoy your company without being all up in your shit. But will be super interactive if/when you want.
8. I don't care that you dog people don't agree with me!
9. I used to be terrible in the kitchen, but in my 20s realized that was stupid. Now I enjoy cooking and am 9/10 good at basic, tasty fooding.
10. As a young child, we were on vacation and I got super sunburned. Somehow this lead to me being treated at a docked Navy sub and we got a total behind the scenes tour. I vaguely remember touring the sub, but never knew why until a few years ago.
11. I was extremely shy and socially awkward when I was younger. I taught myself to be more outgoing, especially in professional situations. Sometimes it's still hard.
12. I'm a professional groomer, and specialize in grooming cats. Including creative grooming. When done correctly and thoughtfully, it's awesome, safe, and FUN for all involved. Even the cat.
Won First and People's Choice at my last show,
a tiny event in SC with a borrowed cat, Zoey.
13. I need a lot of downtime. I cherish my time alone. Sometimes I even kick husband out of the house, because him in another room with the door closed isn't alone enough.
14. I love futuristic dystopia fiction. I really DO NOT LIKE that it's becoming reality. I have to limit my reading/watching because it can trigger some nasty anxiety/depression.
15. I grew up with My Little Pony, and now collect G1 mlps. I really like the new Friendship is Magic show, but the toys are pretty terrible.
Wish I had all of my original collection!
16. I don't have any tattoos, but I have a folder of cat and horse tattoos I love. Just in case.
17. I tend to be really klutzy and uncoordinated. I once took a belly dancing class, and was super good at this one move...but only because it was basically the same thing I do when I lose my balance while switching weight from one foot to the other.
18. The word 'moist' doesn't bother me. The context you use it in might gross me out, but not the word.
19. I was obsessed with the show River Monsters. I absolutely love it. I love the respect and admiration Jeremy Wade has for the fish, the environment, and the local people he encounters.
20. I very badly tore ligaments in my ankle getting OFF of Truby. It was 3 years ago, and I still have problems. I dismounted, and my foot just gave out under me. I sat in a heap under Truby for about 5 minutes. She was completely unconcerned and just waited for me to get up.
21. I don't like to eat bacon. I want to! It smells great, it sounds great while it's cooking. But I just don't like it. Every few years I give it a try and nope, don't like bacon :(
22. I've been playing Hearthstone the entire time I've been working on this list.
23. In my younger years, I learned how to ride reining horses. It's been forever, but I'd love to get back into it. So much fun!
24. Those same years are when I first bought Truby as a weanling. She was supposed to be a 2 year project while I was in school, then I was gonna sell her. Yeah, she was too awesome to sell!
25. A friend asked me to be a model for the jewelry she makes. I don't like being photographed, or really like my appearance at all, but I willing agreed and it ended up being SO FUN. 10/10 will do again.

26. Most of my good friends live out of state. I guess I really like my space! I wish we could hang out in person far more frequently, but FaceBook and texting make the distance seem shorter.
27. I once wore a towel as a skirt and went to the movies with a group of friends. Nothing sexy happened.
28. I really dislike people that complain about the weather. A joke or even a single "man it's balls out!" is fine, but people that complain seriously about the weather annoy me. I mean...it's the weather. Watcha gonna do? Enjoy it, or enjoy poking fun at it or GTFO.
29. I <3 <3 <3 drinking vitamin D milk with Chinese food. Sometimes I'll decide not to get Chinese food if I don't have milk and don't want to buy some. I don't even know. I don't drink milk otherwise.
30. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has helped me immensely, and I use many of the things I learned every day. I also recommend it or at least specific exercises when people ask me for advice. If you've read this far, you probably already figured out that I've spend some time working with a therapist!
