Pitter Patter of Pink Piddy Paws!

THE BASICS

Age: 37

Height: 5′5″ (minus the typical 4 inch heels that I prefer to wear)

Weight: (sigh) I’ll be honest, it fluctuates between 136 (on a really good day) and 145 (which causes me to panic and hit “turbo” on the elliptical, which results in me promptly falling off, getting hurt and being unable to exercise!)

Eyes: Green w/ little gold flecks

Hair: Red w/ highlights, but the shades of red vary depending on time spent in sun and what new seminar my hairdresser has taken!

Sex: Yes..I’m having it and it’s fabulous!!!!ha..ha.ha.. (Female, obviously female)

Marital Status: Single but in a relationship - w/ a side serving of divorce on my history plate

Pets: 1 cat, per the Miao, Shan page, duh! Sweetest little Siamese Ferret that ever was born.

Location: South of Atlanta, Georgia. Close enough to drive in for “culture” but far enough away to avoid the traffic

Work: Too much, most of the time…Oh wait…. okay- Official title is “Office Administrator” but you may as well call me “Gal Friday” for all that it explains. I handle the Human Resources , Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Payroll, Commission Structures and Breakdowns, Administrative Funds Tracking, Incoming Funds Breakdown and Deposits, Quality Control for all loan files, Local/State/Federal Agency Licensing and follow up, New Vender Set Ups, New Loan Processing, Marketing procedures on closed loans, Office Supply ordering, Company Memos and distribution, Vacation/Appointment scheduling, AND I’m the full time IT person for my company as well, which means maintaining and controlling our email, website, in-house networks for 3 office locations, new Loan Officer set up for company & personal computers, software maintanence and upgrades, telephone and Zetafax systems, server maintanence, general “my computer is doing THIS” questions, printer and computer repairs, etc…etc…etc…

Religion: I don’t believe in organized religion. I don’t have a “label” for what I think, feel or believe but I’m not an Atheist nor am I an Agnostic. I’m somewhere in between with my own special way of looking at things.

Education: High School Grad, some College, United States Air Force, and the best teacher of all - life.

THE ODD/QUIRKY/INTERESTING

#1.) I’ve never been to a music concert. EVER. I thought I had once, but my friends told me that “Seasame Street on Ice” didn’t count. Poo!
#2.) I’ve never had chicken pox, measels or mumps. Now, I’m absolutely terrified that I’ll get them and suffer horribly.
#3.) At the age of 32, I convinced my gynecologist to perform a tubal ligation on me. I’d been trying to have this done for years but for some reason they (the ubiquitous they, the collective they) want you to have at least one kid before they take away your ability to have any. I looked at her and simply said “I would most likely kill any child that I brought into this world, so why don’t you do us *both* a favor and save me from a lifetime jail sentence.” She scheduled the surgery for the next week.
#4.) My Senior year of High School, I had my Polictical Sciences teacher absolutely convince that I knew exactly when he was going to die and that he should avoid looking at the clock any time it read 11:11 or something terrible was going to happen to him. I don’t remember *why or how* this came about but I do remember that I had an unhealthy dislike for the man so that probably covers it.
#5.) I kissed my first boy while in the 5th grade. He was much shorter than me and had to stand on a stump to reach me.
#6.) I kissed my first girl at age 26 and realized that I liked kissing girls just as much, if not more than, kissing boys.
#7.) I can’t stand eating foods that come on a stick. Something about letting my teeth touch the wooden tongue depressor of a popscicle makes my skin crawl. I love corn dogs but will put them off the stick before I get to it. Chicken or beef satay? Same thing. And don’t even bother offering me a wooden toothpick. I’d rather you rake your nails across the chalkboard, thank you very much!
#8.) I consider coffee to be it’s own FOOD GROUP and if it weren’t for the icky side effects, I’d probably exist on an “all coffee” diet. You will always have my attention and participation of you say “Wanna go to Starbucks?” and I’m even known to frequent the non “Chain” type coffee shops.
#9.) I’m a HUGE NFL football fan and have fallen pretty hard for playing “Fantasy Football”.
#10.) Also… I’ve been an Oakland Raiders fan since I was knee-high to a grasshopper!

POP CULTURE

#1.) If all the movies in the world were going to disappear and I could only save three, meaning I would have to watch them over and over again for the rest of my life, I would save:

****UPDATE - I now know that I absolutely can not LIVE without the movie “Transformers”… my new #1 movie in the world (sigh..that means one of the ones below has to go on the chopping block…that sucks!) **Woot! Transformers comes out on DVD on Oct. 16th.. I’m calling in sick that day. ha..ha…

Legally Blonde - always makes me happy, always makes me smile
The Core - science/shmience, I love this movie for the characters, the lines and the human hero angle
The Day After Tomorrow - Oh how I LOVE the “tornados destroy LA scene” nuff said!

#2.) Same question- 3 bands?
My Chemical Romance - How can you not be addicted to “Welcome to the Black Parade” or “I’m not Okay”?
Evanescence - Amy Lee is amazing and despite the unfortunate association with the movie Dare Devil, a rocking band!
Linkin Park - meaningful lyrics (to me at least), with ballads interspersed with out and out screaming. I love it!

(Okay..okay.. I’m also now in love with Three Days Grace.. leave me alone! )

#3.) 3 TV shows?
Hmm…tougher, I don’t watch a whole lot of TV.
Heroes - I still haven’t watched the last three episodes of season 1, but the show is fascinating
Cash Cab - oh come on…. Ben is cute and you are riding in cab and playing a trivia game. Brilliant!
The Weather Channel - can that count as a show? one long, continous show? I like the Weather Channel, I’m sick, I know.

#4.) 3 Hollywood Names on my “I’d do you in a heartbeat” list:
Vin Diesel- from “XXX” - ooooo..yummy man-scicle right there. Lick..lick..lick…
Oded Fehr - from “The Mummy” - serious harem girl / sultan’s love slave fantasies occurring
Brooke Burns - from “Dog Eat Dog” - leather pants, short leather corset, long blonde hair all tousled with that JF look. Yep!

(throw a little Ryan Renolds in there… just for flavor.. heh..heh..)

THE RUNDOWN

I’m one of the most mercurial people you’ll ever know. I change my mind at a seconds notice and then back again before you’ve digested the first change.

I am quick to anger (stereotypical red head, yes I know) and am very slow to cool down. Flashes of my temper have been known to cause human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - basically mass hysteria. (ha..ha.ha..)

I don’t trust easily, but once I do, you have my trust forever.

I hate with a depth that is unhealthy.

I hold grudges for life and I never forget or forgive.

I am incredibly passionate about everything - and I live my life full of that passion. Every argument is a big one, every love is the “one”, every slight is major, every compliment is huge, there is almost nothing I take lightly in life and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I am goal oriented and success driven. If I’m going to do something I give everything I have to it.

I’m a West Coast girl, through and through. Even though I don’t tan (I burn/peel/burn/peel) I feel the call of the beach and Pacific ocean like a siren’s song.

I’m a roller coaster freak and wish desperately that someone would pay me good money to travel the world to ride roller coasters and write reviews on them!

But I’m afraid of heights..ha..ha..ha…!

I’m also completely freaked out by spiders. Snakes - no problem. Rats/mice - no problem. Roaches/centipedes/ etc. - no problem (uhhh..that’s a lie.. I HATE those too). Spiders??? I turn into a screaming, squealing girly-girl who needs a big strong man to kill the icky spider!

I once ran naked through a corn field, on a dare. I don’t recommend it - those stalks can cut you in interesting places.

I performed a strip tease at my girlfriends “Pajama” bacherlorette party, because we were playing Truth or Dare. The lesson I learned from that experience? Always wear your pretty panties, even when in PJ’s.

That’s all for now - but I reserve the right to update at any given time.
